iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I returned to DA to post some stuff, and have been frankly disgusted by the amt of scammers and AI slop that's totally taken over the site. Looking around at other places to post (other than here!). Does anyone have any recommendations?

I also worked out how I wanna handle flipping his head in profile. Since I'm giving him an assymetrical hairline we can see it on the left side. Special thanks to my partner for being a reference, since I realized yesterday she has exactly his haircut 😅

I'm working up the final art for the case files in collector, and you can really tell from the start of the project to now that I didn't know how to draw men. Jessie in the OG file looks like he's about 9 😅

I love that the noise we got for the ryuto is pulled from a frfr gecko. RYUTO RETREAT ANIMATION DONE

071

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

actually lets just post up the finished lil movie. The scene opens clear, but once the characters come onto the screen we blur the bg to simulate a camera lense focusing on the fg

0101

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

well it took all day, but the bg crowd is finished! I'm really happy with the end results, even if getting there was a bit of a slog

1140

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

who doesn't like drawing a crowd? Me. It's Me.

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

Damn if that fire animation didn't come out nice.

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Okay I keep picking at this ryuto cleanup (right) which is probably a sign for me to stop working for the day.

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

And now we wrap the Caleb sprite!!

0101

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

Nearly finished with Gary Oa- I mean Caleb! Only the brow assets and 5 arm assets and it's a wrap on our second sprite

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

I was going into "The Collector Alpha" yesterday for some coding guts and some rough assets, and wow. Comparing what the project was to what it's become, it's really come a long way. #visualnovel #gamedev

omg I need to stop working but OMG IT DOES STUFF IT'S CLICKY IT DOOOOES STUUUUUF

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

This is the last of the lineup. While Ollie is on the run, she makes a few normal, not fae, not hunter, not sex trafficker or secret arms dealer, friends!! Just two college students working a summer job near her safehouse. When everything in your life is crazy, normal feels exotic!

1203

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

Opposite the Court there's the Unbound, who depending on how you feel about them are either freedom fighters or terrorists. You'd think they'd be on Ollie's side, but due to circumstances she's spent more time trying NOT to get killed by them than hoping for any kind of rescue attempt.

1264

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 18/11/2025

I really enjoy the friendship between these two :3

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

When Damien doesn't get his fairy bride back from Lianna, he goes right to his number one customer: the Nocturni Court of the New Sun, and threatens to cut supplies if they don't get his toy back NOW. So they send two of their best: The Reeve of London and Magister of the Scathshioulouir.

1214

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

Our problematic love interests and the core premise of Tsoom. Damien brings Ollie along on one of his deals with an insurgent group headed by a deeply closeted far right vampire (nocturni). When she finds out that Ollie was forcibly turned into a girl, Lianna determines to rehabilitate Ollie.

1181

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

Going into a little detail on the different parties involved. Ollie is in his sr year of secondary when, celebrating his 18th bday, he gets slipped something and nabbed by the fae market. They sell him to Damien who has the market physically change Ollie into a girl bc they are fairies, after all.

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Here's the lineup of major characters from Tsoom. It's an ongoing story I'm writing with a friend about a runaway fairy wife :> #fairygirl #kidnapping #runaway

HeartWorks @heartworks.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Oh yeah and I drew this too a while back! I think at this point Ollie was like, three kidnappings deep. In the trunkm of her would-be baby daddy. My poor perennial damsel T^T #damsel #faegirl

My fae girl Ollie, glamoured and tied up in the trunk of her would-be baby daddy.
