I was commissioned to make a book cover for a Naruto fanfic as part of a birthday present to the author. It's a really sweet present and it was such a fun commission to work on!

Improvising with some character design! I didn't have a clear idea going into this, but that's my favourite way to work

A fun "side-effect" of making VN portraits is that you also have everything you need for a PNGTuber! I was playing around with VeadoTube Mini and my character Izara. Works like a charm 😁 Video has no audio, just showing the visuals!

Visual novel portrait for my main girl Kerida For years she's been my go-to character for story ideas (and all those little AMVs I make in my head), so it's exciting to be making some of those ideas a reality

Working on my visual novel system lately! I rewrote it to allow free movement of characters, and it's so easy to add new features It's in Godot, but the dialogue files are external txt files with a simple syntax It's like a more elaborate sock puppet theatre and I love it ❤️ #gamedev #visualnovel

It's so touching to get comments like this that show someone really connected with something I made. I believe in making what you want and if someone else gets value from it, it's a happy coincidence. But when that coincidence actually occurs, it's an amazing feeling #gamedev #visualnovel

I'm really happy with how cozy this game turned out. For my first attempt 7 years ago I didn't have the ability to make what I really wanted, but now I think I finally do 😁 #CozyVisualNovel #IndieGame #SliceOfLife #gamedev

For the art in my game I've been using Blender to set up the scene and lighting and using that as a base for painting. It's a great way to improve my 3D skills for any future 3D projects too! #Blender #3D #Krita #gamedev #visualnovel

I've been learning more OpenGL and I can make things spin now. I think it's reasonable to say I've become the most powerful programmer who's ever lived #OpenGL #programming
