Fun commission for a patron for a character from Code Geass.

Clover and Sigrun Commission

A commission from one of my patrons who asked me to have Clover suck on Sigrun.

Calistra Commission

A commission from one of my patrons who asked me to design a succubus character for them.

Commissions are now closed!

Thank you so much to everyone who sent in requests! It means the world to me to have my art appreciated and in demand by so many of you. I now have enough projects to keep me busy through the end of the month, but I’ll definitely be opening commissions again in the future. Thank you for your support!

(Off-Schedule Update!)

Hey everyone! I’m posting a bit earlier in the day than usual, but that’s because this is an off-schedule update! I’m just checking in with you all and here to report what I’ve been up to!

It’s been a surprisingly good week for me. I managed to dodge the hurricane that was headed my way in the middle of the week. No damage or power outage thankfully! And I was given two days off from work, which was great! I got to put in some time to finish up the illustrations I’ve been sh...

Charlotte Aulin

Charlotte Aulin is a brilliant young sorceress and one of the protagonists in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. Armed with vast magical knowledge and a sharp wit, she aids Jonathan Morris in their quest to stop the evil forces threatening the world.

Unfortunately, it seems a vampire made a quick snack out of her… She’ll remain in the castle, as one of its newest residents…

The twins emerge…

Based off their appearance in Portrait of Ruin’s intro!

Stella Lecarde

Stella Lecarde, a fierce and graceful warrior, is the elder twin sister of Loretta in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. Once human, she is now a slave of her “Father” Brauner. She wields a deadly blade which she combines with her sister’s magic for devastating results.

My favorite of the twins for two obvious reasons... I had been wanting to draw her for years, but never found an opportunity to do so. I remember the last time I tried was nearly 10 years ago and I got so frustrated tr...

Loretta Lecarde

Loretta Lecarde, a once a noble and vibrant young woman, now a tragic figure enslaved by vampirism in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.

Decided to go for a cell shaded style for this one. I thought it would save me time, but ended up taking me just as long!

Commissions are open!!

As I mentioned in yesterday's release, I am taking the rest of October off to focus on solely making art. To that end, I have decided now would be the perfect time to accept commissions, since so many of you have asked if I ever would. Be aware that slots are limited, as I only have through October to get these done.

Regular weekly updates for Crimson Veil will resume Sunday, November 3rd at the usual time.

With that said, I am currently ac...

Early Color Variations for Characters

Here are some familiar characters looking a bit different, from earlier stages of production. I still happened to have these saved onto my dropbox and thought it might be cool to share them.

WEEKLY UPDATE!! 9/15/24

After a busy week, I’ve finally wrapped up the latest version of Crimson Veil and sent it off to my testers for review. Please give them a little time to play through and catch any issues I may have missed.

While we wait, I’ve got a small treat to share with my patrons today: a look at some early color schemes for characters already in the game—think of them as beta versions. It’s just a fun little bonus as we gear up for the release of Version 5.5! Be aware that the art assets ...

Feline Familiar Transformation post has been updated!

The scene is a total of 15 images! Let me know what you think of it!

WEEKLY UPDATE!! 9/8/24

Good news everyone! I just finished scripting the last scenario for the newest update! Hooray! I need to do a few more passes and clean up a few other things, but for the most part, work on the newest update is done and I will be sending out beta versions of the update to my testers later this week!

One last thing that I was able to implement this week that I wanted to add since the last update was another addition to the Pet system. Once you have reached the max b...

WEEKLY UPDATE!! 9/1/24

It finally feels like I’m nearing the end of this update cycle! This week, I finalized the layout of the Shrouded Institute, now known as the Ebonwood Institute, as well as added in all the hidden goodies and treasures! I also wrote a few journal entries that can be discovered at different parts of the old school. Reading through them may recontextualize some of the areas within the institute… For better or worse.

Time to wind down to some comfort gaming

I’m seriously so happy to have this collection on Switch. I can’t tell you how often I’ve come back and replayed the DS trilogy of Castlevania games. These games are what made me a fan of the series and are some of my earliest influences. I based a lot of Alexandria’s original look off Stella Lecarde, shown above.

Please excuse the cringe art.

This was from like 2013 a...

WEEKLY UPDATE!! 8/25/24

Welcome back everyone! I’m happy to say that I just completed the scenario for Clover’s contract quest today. I played through the whole quest line and came out of it feeling pretty satisfied. I do need to tweak the difficulty a bit, as I felt that the battles were a bit too braindead, but as far as the difficult part of scripting all the scenes, that part is all done! It’s full steam ahead towards scripting the scenes for the second quest of this update cycle!

Additionally, I wan...

WEEKLY UPDATE!! 8/18/24

End of the week once again. Does it ever dawn on anyone how quickly 2024 has gone by? Sheesh.

Anyway, I’m currently wrapping up event scripting for Clover’s quest. The first half of it involves doing a bit of detective work around Mor Town to actually find her.

This leads to a set piece where you are pitted against multiple waves of enemies, similar to the arena at the end of the main...

News regarding Patreon’s new billing policy.

Hey everyone! I’m not sure if you all get emails from Patreon about these sorts of things, but I’m sure it’s better if you hear it from me anyway.

So from what I understand, Apple is forcing Patreon to have all members change their billing model to be subscription based. Basically this means, instead of being charged on the first of every month, you’ll be charged every month on the same day that you chose to subscribe. Patreon has been pushing this model on cr...

WEEKLY UPDATE!! 8/11/24

This week has been all about diving deep into the creative process! I've carved out dedicated time for brainstorming and writing sessions, and I’m excited to share some updates. I’ve finished the outline for Clover’s contract quest, which is a major step forward. Starting next week, I'll be focusing on crafting the dialogue and scripting the events that will bring her story to life. I’m really looking forward to making this quest engaging and memorable for everyo...

WEEKLY UPDATE!! 8/4/24

I have reached another milestone for this update cycle. I have finished all of the art for the four new enemy types as well as added them into the game. As previously mentioned, the four new enemy types being added into this update all focus on a singular skill type (Axe, Cross, Bomb, and Knife/Dagger). They have been sprinkled into older areas, replacing certain vampire hunters. However, I’ve also added in a few extra enemies to some areas, so that’s more opportunit...

WEEKLY UPDATE!! 7/28/24

Another week goes by, another progress update for you all. I updated the lore bible from last week to fill out some of the parts I hadn’t yet written. There's more I want to add to it, such as the character portraits, but for now I’m using it as a reference sheet that can be easily accessed through google docs. If I make it look fancy now, it could make it cumbersome to scroll through at a moment’s notice, so that’s a project for another time.

However, some of you who’ve read ...

WEEKLY UPDATE!! 7/21/24

Hey everyone! This week I began working on something that I had been thinking about making for a long time. As a solo creator, it's hard for me to keep track of all the facts within my fictional world, especially as Crimson Veil continues to grow in its scope. To help catalog these details, I have started writing a Lore Bible for the game. So far, I have added short bios for each of the characters, including facts that are not said explicitly within the game’s tex...
