It's her.

Not Rien, but they were related.

"Taking a Nap"

I want to nap every time, every day 😴 like a cat.

The background was inspired by the scenery I saw on a train last month.

By the way, the rewards have been sent out! Let me know if you have any problems accessing it.

January Rewards

Thank you for your support! Rewards will be sent out tomorrow.

There is a delay for the Kickstarter campaign because my partner was affected by LA fire. It was originally planned to be published this month.

2024 Art Summary

Thank you for accompanying me on my art journey last year. I hope you like my works. Let me know your fav!

I don't have a masterpiece. I just used the slot as a space for another piece of art I did last year. My personal favorite is the August one, though.

Happy New Year!

December rewards have been sent out. Thank you again for your support!

2024 was a tough year for me. I struggled a lot this year. The problems mostly came from outside sources, which were out of my control. However, I managed to self-publish Raruurien this year. I can be grateful for that.

I hope next year will be kinder to us all.

Happy New Year! 🎉🎆🎇✨

Comifuro19 report

Hiya! I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I was busy with the con and the book's release.

I brought 130 copies to Comifuro 19 and got back with 5 of them 🙌

Comufuro 19 was tough for me because I had to go solo. Usually, I come with Sinlaire but he had to take care of his family this time...

Timelapse: Sky Palace

Sky Palace

Rewards have been sent out! Thank you for your patronage.

It's an environment concept art for the Sky Palace in the capital city of Warudhaim. The city will be very different from the rural village we got for the Raruurien setting. The sky palace has some tall and big buildings made of sandstones. Candi (temples) from Indonesia inspired the shape of the buildings.

November Rewards

Finally done 😭

I hate drawing buildings lmao I wanna cry. Just because I can draw it, doesn't mean I enjoy doing it. I don't like doing it, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't 💁‍♀️

Thank you for your support! I'll send the rewards tonight.

WIP: November wallpaper

Sorry for the lack of updates this month! I was busy with the comic book release. I'm compiling all the reports to share in the next post.

Anyway, here's a WIP for this month's wallpaper. It's an environment concept art for the Sky Palace in the capital city of Warudhaim. The city will be very different from the rural village we got for the Raruurien setting. The sky palace has some tall ...

"Red Materia"

I've been playing FF7 Ever Crisis lately and I enjoyed seeing all the costumes they released. It opens up a lot of creativity. I saw some fans making up the lore and I enjoy reading them. I couldn't join the hype train because of work so this theme is kinda out of date. I enjoyed making it nonetheless.

My friend wrote a fic about Cloud's Bahamut garb and I felt inspired to draw this. In ...

I drew an egg. ehe.

WIP: October wallpaper

I want to draw something spooky/grotesque for October

Raruurien book 1 - preview

The first sample is here. It’s thick!

The cover is darker than it’s supposed to be and the foil is in wrong color (I requested it to be changed to silver instead of gold).

I think the kickstarter version will be slightly bigger than this. I printed this one in this size because it will be doubled in price if I make it any bigger.

Sketch: Peaceful Rien

I have been doing lettering for the past few weeks, which makes me burnt out. I need to do some random sketch once in a while

TImelapse Video: Marigold

Is the sketching part too long? I feel like it's so boring I need to shorten it.

September Rewards

Thank you for your patronage! Rewards will be sent out tomorrow.

About Kickstarter/Publisher

I just got info from Hiveworks that they won't be available to provide a Kickstarter service for a while. I asked when they would be available, but there has been no answer so far. So it's sad for me to say that we have an unknown estimation release schedule for global distribution as of now.

Publishing the book without Kickstarter is an option too, but I'll need strong marketing power f...
