Chapter 08 WIP

Hello hellooo my gemlins~ 💜

I am very happy to report that I've made good progress with chapter 08 and updates will definitely resume before May ends!

The first episode will be a cover illustration and 6 pages and I am very excited to share them with you. It feels like an eternity since I last had an episode to show to you guys @ _@)

I hope you're excited as well~~ 💜

Streaming on SAT + SUN 🖌

Quick announcement that I'll be streaming on Saturday, May 8th from 7pm-10pm (GMT+2)! Possibly around the same time on Sunday, too.

You can check what time that is for you in the schedule tab on Twitch! 

I'll be inking the first pages of #MUTED chapter 08, so if you want a sneak peek of the new chapter, feel free to join and hang out in chat 🥰 (for the last ho...

Couple artwork from a while ago! :) I had a lot of fun drawing those flowers haha, they were part of one of those "I will use a pre-existing CSP brush and just meticulously draw over it so it still looks the same but I get to draw small details for hours without using my brain"-phases 😆

Attached is the full-size version if you want it~~

I hope you like the pic! 💜💜💜

Chapter 08 progress & plans for May!

Hello my gemlins~~~

I am happy to report that chapter 08 production is finally in full swing!

The script gave me so much trouble, I hadn't been able to finalise even a single episode for like three weeks, but then last week I wrote the entire final script all in one day o _o)
I guess sometimes the brain just needs more time to figure things out. Part of me is of course mad at myself because those three weeks are now gone and missing from my schedule, but the other part of me wa...

Hello my gemlins~ Here's the finished illustration that $5 patrons could vote for 💜

I finished it a few minutes ago on stream but I forgot to post about going live here, SORRY;;;; 

Anyway thank you all for the fun hours on stream, I had a blast as usual! We even played a little bit of Guild Wars 2 and people said that we could do that more often during streams too, I just run around, do random events, show you the beautiful world of Tyria while we chat! Because as we all k...

Going live!

Hello gemlins~~~ I'm going live in just a minute to draw a Patreon choice illust in a minute! Feel free to come and hang out in chat if you wanna 💜💜💜

Art stream - Patreon choice!

Hello my gemlins~

On Friday, April 23rd, 7pm my time I will be streaming again! You can check here what time that is for your timezone.

I'm desperate for some spring vibes but irl the weather is still cold and awful on a daily basis, so I want the illustration for the stream to be a cheerful, spring-themed one! You get to decide which character gets to be featured in it :)

Sketch Collection | issue #01 2021

Hello my gemlins~ 💜

We're long overdue for another sketch collection! 

I compiled most of my sketches and WIPs from January to now for you to look through, as always you can also download all images in a PDF :)

It's mostly OCs, specifically Kai and Jasper, most of the coloured doodles of them are in preparation for the upcoming chaper! There's some Ayden and Misha sprinkled in there as well as others and some random characters. 

From Febru...

Introducing "Lost To Time" : 01 - General Information

Hello my gemlins~ 💜

Today I’d like to talk a bit about one of the comics I have planned for after #MUTED (and show you some early sketches as well! They're basically all from 2016!) It’s a story I have been working on since I believe 2015? At least that’s when I drew the first rough character designs for the main characters Ayden (red hair) and Misha (blond).

The story is titled “Lost To Time” for now, though that might change again in the future. For...

Plans going forward 🌸

Hello my gemlins~ 💜

March is already coming to an end so I wanna take the time to talk a little bit about the near future on here!

#MUTED chapter 07 is finished now and I'm working on finalising the script for chapter 08, which will (most likely) be the last chapter for the series! I want to make sure to bring it to a satisfying end for everyone, so I'm taking my time going over the script multiple times, rewriting if necessary and looking back at the story so far to ensure tha...

#MUTED - chapter 07 part 18 [CHAPTER END]

Finally, chapter 7 is finished 🤧

These last two parts are probably the ones I've struggled with the most ever since I started this comic in 2017. I hope I could do my vision justice and that it's satisfying for you ; _;) I tried my best to make this arc as good as my skills allow, hopefully it worked out~

I'm really happy that I can get to the next chapter now and start fresh in some ways~ 💙

I'll have the PDF of the full chapter 07 up for $10 gemlins as soon as I can! ...

✨one sparkly boi✨

Hello my gemlins~ 💙

It feels like I haven't posted in a month, I've completely lost track of time recently. It took me until TODAY to properly register in my brain that it's MARCH 😂😂😂 Only took me like 3 weeks, despite staring at my planner and calendar in dread multiple times a day.

ANYWAY.

I've still been so busy lately 💦 I didn't mention it in the Jasper doodle post from a while ago, but Fynni was sick for like 2 weeks recently, which in turn made me sick w...

#MUTED - chapter 07 part 17

This episode was a struggle fest once again because writing the dialogue and inner monologues was so difficult to get right ;;;

I hope you like this episode~~ 💜💜💜

pensive.

Hello my gemlins~ 💙

I'm still trying to fall back into a routine, so things have been a bit slow~ The work I did on the comic in the last few weeks was mostly colouring/rendering/lettering, but rarely any actual DRAWING and I felt like my muscle memory was slowly diminishing haha.

So I spent some time this week just drawing a few things, to get a feeling for it again. Jasper up there was a first doodle, that I spent way more time on than I usually would, but I ...

wip~

Hello my gemlins 😚

Real life still has me fully in its grip, last week I got my kitchen installed and lost about 10 years of my life during that day, haha. Worth it tho, I love it~ there's some issue with the dishwasher so I have someone coming to look at it this week, but hopefully then everything will be done and over T _T)

I still need to deal with some other things too, including getting the old place ready to give it back over to the landlord, hopefully I can get that out ...

#MUTED - chapter 07 part 16

Words begin spilling out.

This part and the next were so difficult to write, because while I know in my head exactly what both of them want to express, it's a strange job to have to translate it into text that sounds like them, if that makes sense. Hopefully it worked out :') I don't want things to be left unsaid, but I also don't want to say too much when it's not necessary

Old Man Soaking In A Hot Tub

Because my new apartment comes with a bathtub I recently took my first hot bath in probably like 6 years and I thought to myself: "Hm, Jasper probably enjoys a good soak too." So this illustration happened XD

I imagine him and Kai being at some spa for a day, while Jasper soaks in a hot tub Kai is next door getting a massage or something, he probably has a face mask and cucumber slices on his eyes, haha. Maybe that's an illustration for another day :')

(The flowers and leaves are ...

An update!

Hello my gemlins~

Since my life is currently revolving around all things apartment, I would like to share with you how my background process looks when it involves furnished rooms.
As I mentioned a few months ago, I made Kai and Jasper's apartments with homestyler.com and then I take screenshots of certain rooms/parts and just trace over them and adjust perspective sometimes if need be. It's been such a time saver an...

#MUTED - chapter 07 part 15

Not a lot of words needed.

I had gotten so used to having more speech bubbles in my pages since chapter 6, suddenly these pages feel very empty to me, which I guess is appropriate for the mood of the scene, haha.

Thank you for reading 😌✨

Blankets & Games

Hello my gemlins~ 💜

A quick doodle I drew in mid January that I might finish at some point, but there's too many mistakes in the sketch that I would have to fix first, so I put it to the side for the moment haha

I just wanted to let you know that I just scheduled two #MUTED episodes for you all, the first one for Feb 9th, and another for Feb 23rd! 

On Monday I'm finally moving to my new apartment!! My internet connection should be moving there on the same da...

He MOVES! 💜😭💜

I desperately hope that animated gifs work on the Patreon app, or else I'll be very sad haha (If it doesn't, please open this post in a browser to see Kai come to life 😤)

I made a small, super basic Kai animation that took me all day LOL but it was so worth it ; _;) It's so simple and a bit choppy but seeing him move even just like this is making my heart feel very warm and happy 😭😭😭

Clip Studio Paint's animation feature is so cool, I haven't played ar...

WIP~

I tried to post this yesterday but Patreon wouldn't let me 😫

Over the last week I sketched the end of chapter 7, which will be split into 3 episodes. In the end the chapter is going to be 95 pages long, *just* barely made it under 100 pages haha. I assume chapter 8 will be around the same length, possibly a little longer.

As I mentioned before, I have the next episode ready to go but I might wait until next week to post it . _.) I worry that I won't have internet in my new apar...

[FFXV] Respite

It's Ignis hours today 🔥🔥🔥

The sketch (second picture) is from last night; I finished the next #MUTED episode early (I'll post it soon, I just wanna take a few days to get more ahead with the next ones!) and wanted to wind down with some loose doodling~ 

I haven't drawn anything that's not comic pages this year so far, so I took the time to do just that today and I had a lot of fun just slowly rendering in the most ineffective way possible hahah I really enj...

#MUTED - chapter 07 part 14

I almost forgot to post this because I've been mostly sick in bed these days 😱

I enjoyed drawing Olivia again, her hair is so much fun to draw for some reason u 3u)

Next episode will have KAI again!! Let's see how he is doing............

(I wanna have the next episode up in January too, but I might need a bit longer than a week this time due to my moving plans; I'm in the middle of packing my stuff up and getting some more things in the new apartment fixed, so I'm quite b...

#MUTED - chapter 07 part 13

#MUTED updates are back!! 🎉

The next episode is already half done, I want it ready soooon~~~ hopefully next Sunday!

At this point my reason for being so desperate to get the pages done is so that Kai can get the hug he needs and deserves as soon as possible lol;; 😭

In case you need a refresher on the pages before: part 11 | 2021-01-10 20:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post

2020 review / 2021 goals

Happy New Year, my gemlins!! 🎆🎇🎉

I hope you arrived in 2021 safe and sound~ Did any of you celebrate in some way?

Personally, I went to bed around 11pm and attempted to sleep through the countdown, because I honestly didn't care about giving 2020 any kind of special send-off LOL;; 

2020 wasn't all bad for me, not a lot has changed in my day-to-day-life and I'm very lucky to be able to say that. I was able to work on my comic in peace throughout the year and got...

Sketch Collection | issue #03 2020

Hello my gemlins~ 💜

I hope you all got through the holidays in one piece!

I'm ending the year with this last sketch collection of 2020, it's 12 pages of OCs and some FFXV, you can download it below if you want!

When I'm not working on #MUTED I'm more and more spending time with other OCs, to become more familiar with them again and prepare for comics I want to make after #MUTED is done. There's only like... 1.5 chapters left at this point 😬
But that doesn't mean we...

Naughty & Nice (part 2) [end]

I tried my best and I hope you'll enjoy it 😌😌😌💦💦💦💦💦

Spicy content isn't really my strength, tho I do hope to get better at it in the future~ (also my taste is very vanilla and specific so I tend to draw the same things over and over hahaha I hope you don't mind while I continue testing the waters~)

Happy early holidays, everyone!! I'll be taking a few days off to recharge, but you'll hear from me here on Patreon at least one more time before the year is ove...

⭐ In A Field Of Stars ⭐

Hello my gemlins~ 💙

The fourth and last couple artwork of the month, I do hope you like it!! Attached is the full-size version of the drawing, in case you'd want that :)

At first I wanted to surround the boys with a variety of christmas-y items but later on decided I'd rather just surround them with stars instead 😌

Also, my partner said this image reminded them of a similar motif I drew about 9 years ago of my OCs Leo and Charon haha

Cold kisses

The 3rd illustration to count down the Sundays until Christmas~~ 🌟
Only one more to go!

One would think they'd be cold, but there's no better way to stay warm than sharing body heat, amirite?

This is also kinda already setting the mood for the second part of the holiday comic, bathrobes will be worn (and taken off :3c)
