[Blog] Small Update

Recovery State

I'm still in the process of recovering from from my recent surgery procedure - apparently it typically takes at least 2 weeks for the extraction sites to heal (at least for the most part). I don't know if my jaw issues have been fixed yet: it still clicks and feels weird - plus a few new issues were introduced by the procedure. But I guess I'll have to wait a bit before I...

Collection: JUNE 2024 Sketches

06/27/2024

It's very close to the end of the month, so I'm actually rushing through the sketch requests - hence their simplicity. Hopefully they're still good enough for your enjoyment. I should probably get more comfortable with them being black & white sometimes anyway.

A small batch for now - going to the OMSF to receive surgery a bit sooner than expected, so ...

Blog - Recent Thoughts

The Plan:

The next few days will be dedicated to producing this month's patron sketch requests. There are 6 requests remaining. I want to finish this up quickly so I can relax for the next few weeks.

Health Update:

I have an eye exam tomorrow and plan to consult with a specialist (concerning my jaw) next week. Next month might have some kind of interruption if I nee...

Illust: Elayne, Moon Duo

This illustration began as a simple bit of fun, exploring technique with a single paintbrush - and I actually only planned on drawing the older Elayne in the background. But the body looked boring, so I drew the younger Elayne, and then the bg looked boring, so I drew a moon, and so on...

This is actually a technical followup to my previous Female Link illustration (there are many simila...

[Blog] [Game Dev] Various Updates

  • All enemies are now compatible with enemy spawn zones & activation zones (unless they are otherwise meant to be exclusively hand-placed, like the cannon pillars).

Blog - Setting up for May

Reflection: April

I somehow managed to produce A LOT of art this month, way more than expected, especially with how discouraged I've been feeling about the career lately. Check the Dropbox Archive if you have not already done so, as there's a bunch of stuff in the NSFW Folder. Most of it was drawn purely for the fun of doing so.

Although I've been meaning to do so for a few months...

Patreon's rules are incredibly strict, so I can only share certain types of things - but hopefully this won't be a problem since there isn't any expli...

Easter Bunny Elayne & Lovina

It's been a while since I've done work like this. It seldom ever performs well on social media and it takes longer to do, so it's harder to ask patrons to wait for stuff like it. But I've wanted to do this for a while as a follow up to an illustration dorimoge drew last year. I kinda wish I had a better composition for it, but I didn't want it to be as rough as my usual work. This illustration ...

[WIP] Easter Bunny Girls

I've wanted to draw this for a while and I've finally started to do so. I'm planning to render this piece a bit. It features Elayne and Lovina, an OC belonging to @dorimoge5 as bunnies.

[Blog] Following up on the recent health concern

In a recent post, I mentioned experiencing a health scare, so I figured I'd elaborate a little on it. It started around last weekend (Sat/Sun) and has been a constant experience ever since.

I'm not yet sure if it's a dental issue (like TMJD), but it might just be muscle strain of some kind. It's usually just a minor discomfort, but I've noticed the worse symptoms flare up when I was under...

[Blog] Slow Week

Bit of a slow week. Plagued by a number of annoyance.

Had a bit of a health scare during the weekend - I'm concerned that I may need to get it looked at or even require surgery (that sounds expensive). Still just hoping the issue disappears.

My apartment's water heater is making noise like a steam train for several days, making sleep difficult, and I no longer have hot water as of t...

Collection: APR 2024 Sketches

EDIT [4/26/2024]:

Looks like image collections look like how they used to, except slightly different... It means the thumbnail is a little smaller now, but I think it's probably better that you guys can get the scroll bar again.

This post will be updated as the month progresses. (It's probably done now).

[Blog] Routine Annual Reflection

We are 3 months into 2024, and as is custom, it is now time to reflect and take stock of my career & the experience of my Patreon (or SubscribeStar). I do this every so often to check how I feel about things and determine what needs improving.

Reflections:

  • I have not begun any work on a new comic / image set. Instead, I've fallen onto our old habi...

Brello Ramblings & Updated Patreon Policy

Patreon's Updated Policy

Patreon has finally updated the text in their Policy Guidelines, and it's as difficult to work with as you'd imagine. But here's the short of it:

  • Characters are required to demonstrate consent, either via statement or clear affirmative actions. Facial expressions and body language will be taken into account.
  • Likewise, "consensual non-consent...

[Game Dev] More New Enemies


I've started using Codecks to plan my project. It's a bit like Trello, except it's much easier to organize since it's modeled off of a deck of playing cards instead of a list of info. It's going to be a bit more organic than my Trello Board, and I'll casually add new cards as I see fit so that it's more like a checklist or notepad for stuff that I'm actively working on or planning to...

[Game Dev] New Enemies & Weapon

It's been a while since I last did any game development work, but I sat down for a bit this weekend to solve some old problems and implement some new features.


Axe Sub-Weapon

Initially, I didn't plan to feature the axe. Instead vastly preferring Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon's options for a diagonal attack - like Miriam's Rapiers. So, that's what I chose...  View Post

[Comic] Beaumont - The Mimic's Trap

The comic is done. it is the first fully-coloured comic set in the Beaumont universe, although it's not canon because it was created purely for the sake of pornography. Icky! Cooties!

The finished product can be found in my Dropbox Archive or purchased through itch.io.

WIP Sketches Week 1

It feels a bit odd to not force myself to upload every on almost every day. Though that is, to some degree, rather freeing. Still, I need to make sure that I maintain a good work flow.

Here are some work-in-progress sketches, which might be an interesting way to stay in touch while you wait for content. The bottom three are planned illustrations featuring OCs, while the ones on top are ju...
