- My internet has been fixed and improved. Uploading and streaming should no longer be an issue anymore.
- I've taken care of some health needs that needed taking care of for a long time and was only recently able to take care of.
- The big one: I'm aiming to have a playable build of the first scene of My Earthly Home available here sometime in the near future. It will be r...

Also been trying to finish this drawing of Samus. The original goal was to do so before Metroid Dread and then...
I can't figure out how to get her eyes right. Every time I draw them, it's just looks wrong. I think I've just about got it, but I don't know yet.

Trying to draw, fighting depression.
Frustrated since I'm in the "I can function and have the grit and determination to press on, but my brain won't cooperate" stage.
These are the kinds of things I don't usually post 'cuz I'm trying to figure something out. Hope that's alright.

Here's a work in progress for you ya'll. Warts and all, like you asked.
Redesigning Samus' suit beneath the suit. Trying to take the overly sexualized elements out and put some more practical-looking elements in.
Bit difficult, this one.
Also, looks like I'm missing 5 of my patrons?? You guys okay? Not the ones that deleted their pledge-- that's totally fine-- no...
Look at this.
It may not seem like much, but this is the result of years of studying art and animation, writing and storytelling, and a heaping pile of Python programming. Not to mention major depressive disorder and that pandemic thing we're all doing these days.
I started this project in 2017, freshly out of college, just married, and looking forward.
Life doesn't always wo...

Just needs lights, some basic animation, and implementing it into code.
Then I'll have a workflow template and Bob may or may not be your uncle.
I know, I know, I know.
Nick, why do you keep posting the same character the same way all the time??
The reason being is that I'm not the best artist in the world (nor will I ever be). I needed to lab out how I was going to do these designs over and over to figure out how to get something simple, repeatable, animate-able, and appealing.
THEN, I gotta make sure that Ren'Py (...
We got another one. A redesign of the third image included here.

Another design for RedBubble stickers (or magnets or pins).
You can buy one here if you like.
2021-09-18 10:12:46 +0000 UTC View PostI've been wary of posting my writing, mostly because on the Internet it's hard to get anyone to read anything that isn't skimming an article.
But I wanted to take a chance, in case you all are interested. I am writing a visual novel, after all and your probably want to know if I can back that up.
I wrote this last night in a sitting. An idea I had and am running with it. I'll be wri...

Forgot to share that this went live a few days ago on RedBubble.

Working on some fan art stickers of things that have influenced an inspired me.
2021-07-29 22:30:26 +0000 UTC View PostBeen very sick.
It's an illness I've had all my life and it just got really bad this month.
It's called "mast cell activation syndrome" (MCAS) and my body over produces histamines and other allergic responses, sometimes seemingly to nothing at all.
I hadn't started to recover until late last week and now I'm just building myself up.
I have a lot of nearly-finished things...

You want Works-in-Progress? I'll give you Works-in-Progress.
Writing is going well, programming even better (strangely). Above are the planned final renders that will be uploaded on the website with character bios. Clothing incoming.
Trying something new?
(Not final, but pretty dang close anyhow.)
Just something to keep me in check-- that, yes, I am improving.

I was just revisiting an old favorite last night, Harvest Moon: Animal Parade for Wii (2009).
I forgot about the camera feature. I found Renee shopping at the fishery and she posed for the picture. Time freezes when inside a building so I ended up having her model for me. Above is the result.
Just a fun study. Trying some new post-processing kind of stuff, the things after I'm do...
Just want to say thank you all for supporting me.
I've gone through-- and am still going through-- many regular hardships. I'm not one to complain, but I figure I should let you know why my posts are infrequent and progress is always slow.
It's largely episodes of depression, allergy attacks (histamine intolerance plus the regular seasonals), an eating disorder (avoiding eating fro...

I'm not promising anything, but this has been an on-going project I've been meaning to do for a while. More characters are sketched.
(Background still temporary as I figure out what I want to do.)
Once upon a time, I promised such a thing. A demo build of the visual novel I was creating. This was some time ago in 2017, I believe.
Three hard years of spiraling depression, and 2020 besides, I have overcome.
I finally have an understanding and a capacity to put this together.
The attached software is in no way indicative of the final product, rather merely a test build tha...

Leah from Stardew Valley.
Trying out some new effects and techniques.

I have a whole bunch of these sketched up from idle time while I was depressed.
I want to finish them up, and they all fit together, but I figured I'd share this one first.
Quick background, not final.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone :)
