...how is May almost over?
Okay, okay. Despite how that may sound, I've actually already been making progress on this--but I had yet to share the draft with y'all (the FFXV comic progress update kiiinda took precedence).
Once again, I'm opting for another background, and once again I'm featuring one of my OCs-...
Hey, y'all!
I just received the proofs from Zap Creatives for the standees! This took a little longer as I'm assuming they've been busy due to the ongoing convention season!
These standees consist of Elphelt, Noctis, and Kiryu. As you can see in the first image, the artwork is flipped for the purpose of setting...
It's the 15th, and that means the latest Progress Report is here!
This month focuses on some roughs for another one-shot that will release shortly after the one showcased last month. This one largely features Luna (who's been absent from the progress reports so I thought I'd include her). This isn't entirely in sequen...
Hello, there!
I finally remembered that there are folks who have joined patreon on the free tier, so this is my way of saying "I see you~!"
While admittedly posts for the free tier are going to be fewer compared to paid tiers, I'll do my best to post at least one a month for y'all. c:
To start things off...
Okay! So, there's been a few changes in the merch lineup. As y'all know, tariffs are limiting a lot of what can be made since a lot of merch is manufactured in China. While this hasn't affected the bulk of my merch (prints, stickers, charms, jewelry--the charms and jewelry are manufactured in the UK), I had plans to make stat...

Apologies for the severely belated behind the scenes for the March challenge--April was a pretty dang busy month (as y'all may have noticed). But it's finally here! Let's talk about what inspired this illustration.
Once again, the inspiration behind this piece was from a few ideas. Photos 1 & 2 inspired the poses-t...
Hello! Proofs have arrived for the Bunny Boi prints and the Chun-Li vs. Cybertruck sticker!
The proofs all turned out very well--CatPrint's templates always come in clutch, and StickerNinja was able to work with the measurements I requested!
Also, that comment on that sticker proof? Whoever is handling my stick...
This one was a liiittle last minute ๐ But what matters is that I managed to get it done! April was a very busy month for me--between finishing the Easter Bunny Bois, working on a collab, working on the next FFXV progress update, and getting a promotion at work (and training the new hire)--I've been all over the place! 2025-04-30 19:30:05 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey, y'all! So I wanted to update you on what's going on with the rewards. First, let me establish that they have been ordered and are going into production! So let's talk about them and explain what you're looking at here.
As y'all know, the promised size for the Bunny Boi prints was 3.5in x 5in/8.9cm...
Oops this was supposed to drop yesterday but I forgot to queue the post so y'all have until tomorrow to claim your reward ^^;

Reservations for mini prints are now available! The final measurements are going to be 3.5in x 5in (8.9cm x 12.7)--basically the size of a larger trading card. They will be printed on shimmer cardstock, and as any recipient of my previous print rewards will tell you, that's a damn fine stock of paper!
Here's the breakd...
Okay, so I know I said this would drop Friday, but I was so proud of myself for getting these done that I'm dropping 'em a day early!
I had been working on this for about a month and a half--regular viewers of my stream will tell you I've been putting in the work!
I wanted to draw some of the FF boys in sexy bu...
Greetings, y'all! It's time for this month's progress report on the FFXV fancomic. Some of these pages aren't new, but there's work underway as you can see, especially where backgrounds are concerned (I actually love drawing backgrounds).
You'll notice that the first image isn't like the others, tho--it appears to be a co...
This is your reminder that today is the last day to reserve your Chun Li vs. Cybertruck sticker! I'll be placing the order this weekend!

Hello, lovelies! In this WIP Wednesday, I give you a peek at this month's Copic Challenge piece!
While not as detail-oriented as last month's, this one presents its own challenge: perspective! There's still a few things I gotta tweak on this draft, but inks will be starting this weekend.
The Behind-the-Scenes for ...
Hey, y'all~! Time for another progress report to let y'all know what's going on.
First off, as a lot of you know, the U.S. tariffs have more or less gone into effect. This is going to make money tighter for everyone. My plans to weather this remain largely unchanged--parsing down what merch I get made and focusing on m...
It's time!
I'm opening up reservations for this design for stickers! These will be glossy and will either measure 5.1in x 3.5in or 4.1in x 2.5 in (13cm x 8.9cm or 10.4cm x 6.4cm). The reason it's not finalised is because I'm going to a different manufacturer for this design--Sticker Ninja! Things are still good with my...
Inspired by the mini game from Street Fighter II (the one where you smash a car) and the fact that Cybertrucks are an abortion of a vehicle, I've designed this sticker of Chun-Li smashing this sorry-ass excuse of a vehicle!
Stickers will be available soon--reservations for $5+ tiers will open on Friday! I'm also consid...
EDIT: Soooo I forgot to clean my scanner before I scanned in the artwork, as I noticed several dust particles (and a car hair?!) on the scan. I've since edited the artwork so that's no longer there. If you've downloaded the artwork, please delete that and download the revised version. Thank you~!
At last! The first round of Street Fighter Beans are finally available! This set includes Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile, Cammy, Sakura, Elena, Makoto, Ed, Juri, Marisa, and A.K.I.! These will gradually go into production as pins in late spring, starting with Chun-Li, Cammy, Juri, Marisa, and Elena!
Some notes about the beans:
The latest batch of Tekken Beans have arrived! Dragunov and Lili will be joining the lineup! Much like my previous beans, these are metallic (but not enamel) pins. They have a star clutch!
The Dragunov pin wasn't nearly as small as I thought, which works out! Also, unlike the KOF Beans, the cardbacks are printed on bot...
Hey, y'all~
So, in the previous post, I mentioned that there was a rather nasty storm coming through. That storm has come and gone, so I can breathe easy now.
Yes, I'm okay. I appreciate everyone who checked in on me. ๐
The storm was a pretty rough one--a lot (A LOT) of thunder and lightning, heavy rai...
As stated in either last month's rough cut or the general progress report, we're shifting from Rough Cut to Progress Report! This means that the comic is getting far enough along in development that I can start showing more progress (that said, I'll continue to tag this under "rough cut" so it's easier to find in the tags). <...

"I'll go easy on myself in March", I said, and then proceeded to draw a car
...Well, it was a nice thought to try to go easy for March's challenge.
So yes! This month's Copic Challenge not only entails 2 characters, but a car too for some reason! As of this writing, the inks are done and colouring has started, ...
They've arrived! The first round of tote bags are here, and they have turned out very well! I was initially worried that my files were too low-res for the job, but it all turned out really well!
I thought I had shared proofs, but I apparently didn't ๐
The conversion to CMYK + being put on canvas does mute the colou...
So, new segment! I'll be talking about what inspired/was referenced for some of my art pieces going forward so as to give y'all some insight, as well as normalize the use of references (because apparently some people have discourse over that because of course they do).
For those of you who watch my streams, I talk abo...
Hey, y'all!
Got another merch showcase for you! This time we take a look at the new HOP ON FINAL FANTASY sticker...and it's massive!
I know when I posted the proofs it included the measurements...but it just hits differently when you see how big it actually is! I even slapped it on my PS5 ...
February's Copic illustration is officially in the bag! This one proved a little challenging because I thought "Oh, I'll include a background!"
(I forgot that February is the shortest month shhhh)
But! I managed to complete this piece right on time! I posted this last week as part of WIP Wednesday, and ...
Hey, y'all! Got a double-dose of merch updates for y'all!
First off, the proofs for the Lili and Dragunov pins are here and as you can see, the Lili one will be a larger size than Drag (again, I can request a specific size for the pins but have no control on the final sizing due to the manufacturing process ๐
). Both...
Goodness, when was the last time I did one of these?
I figured I'd get back into the habit of doing these (did I mention that in the last Progress Report?) since I've been working a lot
I neglected to do this last month, so this month I'd like to show the foundation for my Copic marker challenge for this month...
