Surprise tiny update for my site right before the new year!!! I compiled all of the Zytarot drawings I did into a little gallery + added some new entries that have never been seen before to complete the major arcana...CHECK IT OUT!!!!!

...Version 2.0?! For the past few months I've been quietly working on a site for my headworld to expand on and ultimately replace the old carrd site that I'd been using for the same purpose. My goal was to create a space that serves as a hub for anyone to learn about the setting, stories, and characters that I base all my art on! This was truly a labor of love as I am no coder, and I had to learn a lot on the fly just for this project. I know it's really rough around the edges...but so is everything I do, so I'm very happy with it :')

I would not be the animal I am today without the patience and care of my OCs and so I'm excited for others to meet them and maybe understand what makes them so special to me!

Alright, enough talking! Come and explore if you dare. 🐶🐱

I've talked about these guys a few times in passing without ever showing them or going in depth about their deal, so here are Solem and Edax, the two ram god siblings of Zyterra.

In the beginning of time before everything, there was Null, a sentient, interdimensional gloom comprised of a writhing mass of cellular organisms constantly in a cycle of death and rebirth, making up the ambiance of existence. As is the case within any network of cells in constant flux, eventually there is an error during duplication, and existence's first-ever "mutation" produces Solem and Edax simultaneously, the two opposite but complementary halves that made up Null. (Light and Dark, or Solem and Edax respectively.)

As the creator of anim, Solem makes more of an effort to meet them at their level, so most depictions of them show them clothed or taking part in hedonistic pleasures like wearing jewelry, eating, partying, etc., with their third eye shut (for the sake of the ref I've chosen to show it open)

WHAT TIME IS IT?

Hey here's something fun! A piece of worldbuilding that had no place on my website, but I still find it interesting enough to plop here on its own. A lil snippet about good ol fashioned Zyterraen funerals.

SOMETHING IS WRONG.

If you have 10-15 min or so and like dark settings and creepy monsters then I wrote some prose that explores one of my favorite concepts in my headworld! This is the first time I’m sharing my writing in public like this so it’s pretty darn scary haha. Hope you enjoy it though if you do check it out! (ALSO I’M SORRY but this particular story doesn’t feature the main cast...I promise the next one I make will though!)
