Some Liz Ard Lore + Timelapse

Liz Ard post Some Liz Ard Lore + Timelapse from patreon

Happy sunday~ :)

Today's video is a timelapse of what I've been working on, while I talk a little about me and my character. I won't be able to really convey everything I imagine about her in the video even when I complete it, so I just wanted to share a little, if anyone's curious!

I always love seeing people's u...

Liz Ard post Starting a Video: Adding Sounds from patreon

Hello, happy sunday!

Today's video shows the process of making the audio for "You're not Alone".

It's something I find really fun to do, and ever since I started making videos I'm always listening to new cutscenes and moments ingame noticing new audio clips I could use.

Hello! Happy...monday. :')

Today's video is a general look on how I build the VFX for the last video!

I think this is a really relaxing part of the whole process, and every little thing you add it feels like it make such a huge difference! I think the learning curve of Premiere is pretty comfortable as well, so if...

You're not Alone

New video out! You're not Alone. :D

The video name is the quest of the original cutscene, by the way...titles are so hard to decide on.

I hope you enjoyed it! It's a short and sweet one this time. After that really challenging otome video, it was relaxing to do something I'm more used to making.

Not a lot mo...

Hello, and happy sunday!
