Digital illustration of my sona, Squid. He is an elf with purple eyes and a purple gradient in his hair. A star sits on his right cheek, and he has an irritated look on his face.

Ask from my new Tumblr! I love people asking about Devyn and Cole TwT #InviteMeInVN #FallFirstFallEndless

Anonymous asked: "This would probably never happen... BUT would Devyn and Cole like each other/get along if they were to meet?"

Squidcolas answered: "And what if I told you it has happened? :3c

Devyn isn't really a 'people person' while Cole very much is. So Cole would try to get along with him, but Devyn would not be very receptive. Devyn likes to keep to himself most of the time and wouldn't like how Cole behaves. Cole would probably take the hint quickly and leave him alone, but he wouldn't have any negative feelings towards Devyn.

I can imagine in some drastic situation where they were both forced to interact more, things might be different (either positive or negative).
I hope this answers you questions?"

Meet Cole! The character from my new game, Fall First Fall Endless. Demo releasing soon :D #FallFirstFallEndless #visualnovel #yandere #yanjam26

Text reads: "Cole Durand - normal hot guy - easy going - flirty - totally honest - definitely nothing suspicious!" "Loves: getting dressed up, acting, ice cream, being the center of attention // Hates: high pitched noises, losing stuff, mondays, being the center of attention (he's complex)".

Hours of work... just to code some silly little phone charms T_T

A digital sketch of the interior of the ice cream shop. A counter sits in the middle of the far back. Menus and posters line the walls. Various signs say things like "spring is here!" and "employees only".

some #comic tips for artists who do #art [1/2]

every panel=a different thought/emotion/mood (I DONT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THIS ANYMORE BUT IT IS GOOD ANYWAY)

cutting a panel in two implies time has passed and mood has changed

I should get more active here, huh? Anyways, hi, I'm Anta, and I make VNs, mostly otome games! I'm currently working on an otome isekai otome game featuring an otoge-savvy MC and 2 LIs who are- *squints* villains(?) of the original story. RIP MC. You can check out my games here~ ant-san.itch.io

When an otoge fan reincarnates into an otome game... she tries to figure out a way to find a happy ending for everyone.

...But what about her own happy ending?
