noctis in wonderland CHARMS

as some of you might have seen before, i've been working on ffxv charms! and now after over a month they're finally ALL DONE.

i received the samples i ordered today and they turned out so cute ;;;;; very bright colours, i actually really love the square shape with the transparent parts within and the size is perfect, too and i love the small bottles &key pendants (see below) T uT)

muted - 045

finally, a new page!

ngl, it feels like it's been MONTHS since i drew this part, when it was actually just a few weeks ago.

from the things i've been working on in the last few days alone, i feel like my art has changed a lot again. what a wild ride.

i'm still catching up on other work and haven't gotten around to continue with muted as much as i'd like T _T) i miss them, i hope to draw at least one page today!!

btw do you guys prefer muted updates like this? with the image r...

getting back to normal

thank you all for your kind words and messages to my last post, it means a lot 💕 i haven't replied to anyone, mostly because at this point i have no words left to say about this situation but i'm very thankful that everyone has been so understanding and made me feel like i could truly take the time i need, it took some of the heaviness off of my chest.

i spent the last week distracting myself on some days, and facing the reality of things on others. i can't say things are better yet but i d...

IMPORTANT! please read this.

hey friends 💕

i hope you're all doing well.

i just wanted to let you guys know that i probably won't be able to post a lot this month. my best friend had an accident a week and a half ago and after hoping for the best, yesterday she passed away. i'm dealing with it, i have my wonderful partner here to support me but i can't bring myself to stay focused on work like normal, i tried. i still hope i can post new things every now and then, i'm trying to work at least a bit but i can't pro...

OC meme - favourite OC

i'm doing this OC meme on twitter but for some questions there's not enough room to talk about them properly, so i'll put some of them here!

i don't have One favourite OC, it's a tie between these two.

charon has been a big part of my artistic journey for like 10 years, i started drawing a comic about him multiple times, kept changing the story and in the end i never actually made some...

upcoming changes (again OTL I'M SORRY....)

okay, so.

once again i've been thinking things through. i'll keep it short XD

2 changes:

#muted updates: i will go back to only putting up updates for lvl2 patrons! so lvl3 patrons, please feel free to edit your pledge to a lower tier if you want to. this is entirely on me, but i think this is better and easier for everyone. also, i will start posting single page updates instead of bi-weekly batches!

this means

page 46 WIP

1.5 pages to goooo until i can update! definitely doable until sunday, so lvl3 patrons can expect 6 new pages by then! lvl2 and public updates will also happen of course 💕

sometimes it's better to not make things too complicated aka me rambling a lot

first of all SPOILER - kai finally gets to "speak" soon! (probably on sunday, in the update for lvl 3 patrons)! he'll continue to mostly communicate through mimic and gestures but with jasper he feels comfortable enough to actually use words, even if it's just through text, and sometimes he can't convey what he wants to say solely through emojis or facial expressions, no matter how easily jasper usually understands him.

anyway, for that purpose i had to come up with a special speech box for ka...

long time no #muted /o\

i'm slowly chipping away at the next pages, it'll be 6 in total, hopefully ready to post on sunday!

since i don't have an actual script for this comic, i'm always in for a surprise at what happens next, too LOL;;; i mean, i have a rough outline for major plot points but everything inbetween is made up as i go, which is not the smartest way to tell stories probably but i'm not good at planning ahead /o\ at least not for most of my stories. since they're mostly not ...

noctis in wonderland ♠

so, remember my charm sketches? i also mentioned this AU in that post and after spending hours working on the other charms i kiiiiind of decided to scrap them and go for the alice in wonderland theme for the charms instead.

i love alice in wonderland and can't believe i haven't seen a ffxv au for that story yet? maybe i missed it idk but i'm just gonna do it myself!!

ABOUT TRANSLATIONS AND REPOSTS

hey,

it has come to my attention that not only has someone taken #muted, translated and reposted it to a russian manga site without my permission, but another person just told me that they also took posts from my patreon to share them in a group.

which means it must be (have been?) one of my patrons. if the person responsible is still here and reads this, then...

drawing didn't work that well today, idk why, so i revisited ayden and misha because i love them and every day my fingers are itchinggggg to Finally draw their story. but alas, it's gonna take a while longer until i can start. but once #muted is finish, these guys are next!!

this was quick and dirty, approximately 90 minutes?? i think.

CSP file including all layers will be up for lvl3 patrons in a second 💕

#muted WIP

i'm currently working on page 41 ✌

update will probably happen on friday!

as i mentioned before, the whole webtoons deal screwed me over a little bit, so this next update will be for lvl3 patrons only, which means, my dear lvl2 supporters will have to wait a little longer until the next update T uT) i'll make sure to post as many WIPs and other content as i can, tho!!

i apologise for this but it's only this once that i can't keep my schedule on track, since this was a very unexcp...

sketch PDF - december 2017

for december i don't have a lot of sketches to show, mainly because i did nothing but work on finishing illustrations, BUT i thought it'd be fun to show some old, old stuff from 2016. i don't think i've ever posted most of these anywhere. you can download the PDF, or just look at the images below :3

new #muted pages are coming (hopefully) next week! 💕 

over the next few weeks i'll work on creating an update buffer, level 3 patrons will then be 2 updates ahead of the public, level 2 patrons will be one update ahead as usual.🤘

(since webtoon changed the requirements for their monthly pledges to their creators i went down from $700 to $100 [if i even reach that], which messes up a lot of my plans and also hurts my financial situation a lot. XD lesson learned: never rely on a...

hello again, friends 💕

i'm back into the game now, starting off the new year with some ffxv merch plans. i want to make chocobro charms so badly &when i mentioned it on twitter there seemed to be an interest there, too, so it's happening this month!

i've been brainstorming what i want them to look like, decided to go for each of their favourite meals and kemonomimi but while i was doodling around i realised that the food part won't really work with what i was going for, so i ditch...

art summary & 2017 review

2017 was A Year.

a lot of bad things happened all around the world but i think, on a personal level, it was a pretty decent year for me.

while i had had plans to become self-employed for a while already, i was still pushed into it very suddenly and without a lot of time to think it through One Final Time and while that was scary as hell, i think in the end it was the best thing that could have happened, who knows if i'd ever done it without that final push.

while this year was fill...
