I feel like it's a stretch to call this content, but I felt super cute in this Pride paintbrush top that Neopets sent me (20% of the proceed go to It Gets Better — year round!) and my freshly-dyed hair looked GREAT, so I took, like, one million lifestyle-lookin' photos of me laughing at nothing. (Plus a bonus Pa...

Tomorrow's video features Elli treating Na'Krasha for an arrow to the gut! This one was super fun to film. Getting into makeup for Na'Krasha is a pain, but I love getting to be her for a while!!
Hope you like it!

Hey friends!! I'm working on this week's video, which is a new POV response featuring Na'Krasha getting treated by my healer Elliwyn! I had some spots where I really wanted to change Elli's replies to better suit what Na'Krasha was saying and doing, so I decided to film some new clips as Elli on a greenscreen, and then composite them into my original set.
Overall, I feel pretty good about...

This second batch is just a few photos, but the way the surf splashed against all the different little rocks made for such cool motion in the background, I think these might be my favorites! I had to clone a bunch of big island mansions out of the hillside, haha, but it was worth it!
I'm gonna be honest with y'all, even though I got to shoot some really cool stuff last year for Jolly Sail...

I have... I think four total photosets coming at you from my trip to Sayulita? Here's the first! This beach is called Playa de los Muertos (beach of the dead) because it's right by a cemetery! It seemed like the perfect location for a deadly mermaid — plus, get a load of this BIG FLAT ROCK! What a perfect mermaid-perching rock!
I may have gone a little overboard with ca...

Josh absolutely killed it as my photographer on today’s golden hour shoot at a beautiful rocky beach that we found! I am incredibly amped about these photos (like, it’s midnight, and I’m about to start editing them) and cannot wait to share them with you!!
Unfortunately the salt water has just leeched all the color from my hair, so I might have to brush that up a little in post… I...

I’ve been taking advantage of the presence of an OCEAN! Shooting in direct sunlight and extreme heat while trapped in a mermaid tail, shouting over the sound of the waves and trying to capture just enough of the surf (but not too much!!) has been an adventure, but we’re learning. 🌴 Photosets coming soon — for now I’m focusing on shooting!
2021-07-09 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! As I'm working on my plans for releasing this mermaid EP, I'm reflecting on the handful of times that folks have asked for me to produce my music as CDs. So I thought I'd just ask: Would you have any interest in a physical CD of my mermaid EP?
This would most likely be a special offer reward, so it would be something like "Pledge $35 in the month of [X] and recei...

I've done a lot of videos about specific roleplaying topics, but never a basic video on how to get into your character's head and start roleplaying if you've never really done it before! Hopefully this video will help folks who are interested in trying something new.

Here are some mermaid photos! Surprising no one, I'm not really satisfied with this shoot for a number of reasons. I suppose the bright side of that is that I will probably end up doing a third bathtub mermaid shoot at some point. (If not more...)
I don't know if you guys find it interesting when I talk about stuff like this, or if it just drives home how self-critical I am, but I am who ...

Wanted to test out my new mermaid getup before we leave for our trip, so I borrowed my parents’ bathtub (ours has brown tile… eurgh) and reprises my bathtub mermaid shoot! This time with new contact lenses and a significantly more foreboding vibe.

Hey everybody! Sorry I've been so quiet — I've had my head down, trying to get everything done before I leave for an upcoming trip. For about a week and a half, starting this coming weekend, Josh and I will be out of town for a beachy mermaid trip!

In this week's video, I offer up a dozen possible answers for the question of why your D&D character is compelled to stay with their adventuring party! It's no fun to play with a bunch of characters who have nothing keeping them together. Why does your character stay with their party?

Sometimes people ask me about my songwriting process. I'm working on a story-song for my mermaid EP and here is a prime example of why I don't have a good answer to that question 😂
(None of these are actual lyrics, it's just an outline for the story that I want the song to tell!)

Hey everyone, long time no music!! (The Codex song is still in progress, but a multitude of obstacles have cropped up in its path, so the music video is, yet again, temporarily stalled.) Meanwhile, I've been working on the EP of mermaid original songs I'm aiming to release in August!
