mfw my jewel thief gf wants to add a detective to the polycule... Nearly finished writing the first pass of part 1 of Red-Handed Robin Redux and my mind is empty of everything but Them.

A drawing of Wren and Jay against a red background. Jay stands over Wren, gripping his shirt and scowling while Wren smiles back at him nervously. Their eyes are conspicuously red.

A meme comic of some characters from my visual novel Red-Handed Robin.
In the first panel, Robin says "I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life."
In the second panel, Wren points at Robin and says "I know this, and I love you."

An ink drawing of Robin and Jay. Robin is holding Jay’s chin between her fingers and pressing his cheek against hers. Jay looks frustrated and embarrassed while Robin is smiling mischievously.

A recreation of a meme from The Office. Jay blocks his face with his hands so only Wren can see him and mouths "I'LL KILL YOU." while giving him a death glare.

Fetch Re;Quest finally got its first review! Please go play my my Certified Funny game. And consider leaving a review if you liked it. Even just putting a thumbs up helps out a ton! 🎮 store.steampowered.com/app/3902560/...

A review for Fetch Re;Quest on Steam. The review reads:
"Do you like funny otome games? Play this one. Don't worry if you haven't played the other Fetch Quest, this one stands on its own (but you should also play that one too).

Legitimately this is one of the funniest games I've ever played. It has a great sense of comedic timing that a lot of other VNs don't come close to matching."

A screenshot from my visual novel Fetch Re;Quest. It shows the main character, Flora, looking happy. Next to her, a close up of a phone is open on a group chat. The chat reads:
Flora: "I know what you mean though. My schedule is jam packed!"
Todd: "With what?"
Flora "Secrets!"

A screenshot of Fetch ReQuest. It shows a stylized cut-in of an angry mob storming a church while a werewolf howls from the rooftop. Around the edges of the cut in are rectangular portraits displaying the character's faces. The textbox reads- "You have discovered that, both fortunately and unfortunately, you are a terrible liar."

A screenshot of Connor, Dan, and Todd standing outside at night. Dan looks nervous while the other two look skeptical. In the textbox, Connor says "Dan's gonna take her. Right, Dan?"

A screenshot of the stats screen. It looks like a TTRPG sheet. Flora's name is written at the top, and the stats are:
Acumen - 1
Charm - 3
Moxie - 1

My partner got me some alcohol markers for Valentine's day and I've just been going feral with them. They work well with printed line art, so I've been using some of my digital pieces to test them out.

four marker drawings.
The first shows my OC wren shirtless and blushing.
The second shows my OC Corbin on a red background clutching his face and looking unhinged.
The third shows my OC Robin in a swimsuit tying up her hair.
The fourth shows Wren again returning a volleyball.

Two backgrounds colored with markers.
The first is the outside of a cafe called The Rose Garden.
The second is the inside of a medieval tavern.

Two marker drawings of my OCs.
The first shows my OC Merle with his hands in his pockets on a white background.
The second shows my OC Corbin slumped in front of a tree stump and looking worse for wear. Magpies sit on his shoulders and there's a black hole in his chest where his heart should be.

Feels weird to post this in the current climate, but I crocheted this baby blanket (and bear beanie) for a friend and I'm pretty proud of it. It's a nice repetitive design and whipped up quickly- perfect for keeping my hands busy during a stressful week.

A screenshot from The Scarecrow Knight. The background shows a medieval tavern, while a barkeep asks "[Find what you lost, stranger?]". The options "Tell the truth" and "Lie" are presented as a choice.

A screenshot from Fetch Quest Remastered. It shows a zoomed in CG. Wrapped in a red cloak, Flora rests her head on Connor's shoulder. She is looking up at him and blushing. In the textbox, she says "Huh...?"
