So rather than share this at a normal time I'm posting this at nearly 2 am. I want to be active and post things I'm working on but I haven't done anything. Since February.

With the 3.0 update I wanted to update my island since lag was becoming an issue. I have a switch light so there is popping but no lag. Everything interesting spot/secret is accessible if you look hard enough. Let me know if you visit. Sneak peaks added below. Enjoy! #acnh #animalcrossing

Whenever I get an idea for something that starts to take over my every waking thought, I write it down and set it aside. The idea is now out of my head and filed away for later but at least it's out of my head. Side note I wrote 4.5k words on Dragons because I feel very strongly about them.

I've updated my island for the 3.0 update. I had a bunch of lag from the hotel and had to redo my island in some areas to fix it only for it to be a common issue with the hotel. *le sigh* I'll redo the map soon but the dream address has been updated. Enjoy?

I did the math for my current writing project against the outline I have and I'm roughly 17% through the outline. For clarification my outline has bullet points as main points I want to hit in order and I calculate the current point I'm on versus the total amount of points.

These are my results of #NaNoWriMo I did not reach the word goal of 50K but reached 40k. This is tough but I am happy for only missing 1 day. I am going to continue working on my current project but at a much more reasonable pace.

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

I did not expect this new writing project to have a how to make butter section or how to assist a ewe during lambing section. In my defense the main character lives on an off grid farm and would need to know these things.

Halfway done with #nanowrimo and I'm at 22.8k words. A bit behind but I'm still happy with that.

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

I did it, I wrote the smut. Was I terribly embarrassed the entire time? Yes. Is it toned down and more emotional than graphic? Yes. Does this make my project a romance? I don't know.

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

There is a concept I want to try for this new writing project. Rather than every chapter be a different perspective, I make every 5th chapter a different perspective. Everything is written in first person present but I would make the tone notably different. Not a new concept but new for me.

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

Sharing this again since tomorrow is the start of #NaNoWriMo and want to make sure that anyone who wants a tracker has access to one. Another thing, if you want to write fanfiction or journal more, go for it. You don't have to work towards a novel if you don't want to. Just have fun writing.

November is National Novel Writing Month also known as NanNoWriMo. I made these templates for anyone who wants to participate. Feel free to download and use as you please. They are 5x8 inches so you should be able to put both on a single page and try them out. #NaNoWriMo

To whom it may concern, I've had a lot going on lately and am unable to do somethings at the moment. I've over worked my drawing hand and can't really draw so I've been playing video games as a distraction but can't do that either since it's still over works my thumb.

I have scars on my lungs from getting covid. When I get sick with a cold, I'm ill for weeks. It may be mild for you but for your friends and family they might be very very sick. If you have the ability to help others, maybe you should instead of being a dick about it.

Here are the other astronauts for Space Settlers. I had debated on having a green one since orange and pink are a bit similar but the spaces are green and I didn't want to confuse anyone. #tabletopgame #SpaceSettlers

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

On a completely unrelated note, despite not having an online shop at the moment I'm still starting Calendar designing now. I'm always late with them but now that I don't have a shop, I'll be early. FML

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

Here are some examples of the cards that go with Space Settlers. I made the designs very simple since this is aimed at young children who may not be able to read well. #tabletopgames #SpaceSettlers

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

Here are a couple of the astronaut designs for Space Settlers. I almost gave them a little booty but their back pack was in the way. Each color has a theme as well, in this case Blue is bubbles and Orange is stars. #tabletopgames #SpaceSettlers

Here is another zero context promo piece for Fate's thread. Dose this make me a furry artist? I certainly hope not.

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

Waiting to hear back from agents has me completing other projects. Things like the aforementioned Space Settlers and Cribbage Cube but also sketches for my children's book. I have 12 written out but I swear to god I was not intending to work on another book while waiting for feedback on the first.

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

With zero context this is line art of one of the promotional Fate's Thread Prints. I'm not gonna share the final piece until Fate's Thread becomes more than just a story I wrote down.

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

I've done some designs that would be promotional items for Fate's Thread. I've got two designs that work for prints and bookmarks. I'm thinking of doing sticker sheets of random callouts from the book. Maybe washi tape? Mugs? Notebooks?

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

Space settlers wasn't the only game I've designed. I also reimagined Cribbage into the Cribbage Cube. I have a delicate but functional prototype. #gamedesigns #cribbage

As terrified as I am, I'm going to take the first steps of book publishing and try to find an agent who will take me on as a client.

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

In college I had to create a board game for a design class, years later I came back to the idea and want to make tabletop games because I like to punish myself. Anywho, here is the concept, idea refinement and execution. Space Settlers still has a ways to go but I'm very pleased with it #boardgames

I have finished the first draft of Fate's Thread. 372 pages, 52 Chapters, prologue and epilogue, and over 106,000 words.

Not to gripe, my god never to gripe, but not fully understanding Fibromyalgia and all the fun secondary effects makes some days way harder than necessary. I did P.T. yesterday and now have some serious fatigue and general aches. PEM is kicking my ass.

I have broken 100k words and over 350 pages. I have 1 maybe 2 chapters left and then it will be done. The end is in sight. Huzzah!

The 14th was my Grandma's birthday and today is mine. Should she still be around she would be 87 I believe. It's been several years since she's been gone, this year will be 8, and I miss her all the time. I don't think she'd be proud of me because she was mean but she'd still love me and that's nice

This was an early iteration of a Xander doodle coloring page thingy. Xander's finished look changed a bit but I did like the stumpy legs and tiny ears. It was scanned in 2018 but I believe I did the piece earlier.

This current chapter is one of my favorites because I get to finally, FINALLY, give concrete answers. It's been so long since the big thing happened and now we get to find out some of the why. It just took 17 chapters.

In 2017 I really messed up my hands. I couldn't draw for months and was given the diagnosis of carpal tunnel and tendonitis in both hands. So I did these with a mouse and various digital brushes. My inspiration was futuristic sky cities.

Today's funny zero context quote from my story is: Greg looks appealing in a silver fox sort of way but has the conversational ability of a soggy waffle.

Today is a sad day. My dog is 13 and his eyes have been getting cloudy in his old age but now his left eye has a fully silver color over it. It's been progressing slowly and I knew what was happening, just sad that my dog has cataracts in his old scrunkly age. He's still my sweet vicious baby boy.

I don't know if it's a good thing or not but my story has a lot of dream sequences and I didn't know if I have too many so I looked it up. I did not know that dream sequences were so wildly disliked. They're important I swear. Also, do nightmares count?

Starry @starrytheartist.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

40 chapters, 80k words and 285 pages and I'm still not done BUT I can confidently say roughly a third, maybe a quarter left to go. I play my cards right I'll be just about 55-ish chapters. Which is close to what I wanted. It will still be over 100k words which let the record show was not intended.

When Yuri on Ice came out I fell in love. I really liked the tiger shirt that was shown. I wanted to make my own. I found a reference and copied all the tiger markings but kept them super angular and sharp. Maybe I'll make this into a shirt for myself. Who Knows. From 2016

A goal I have is to go to a concert but like I also want a chair and to crochet but I don't think that's possible since I like metal music.

I've been a huge Monster Hunter fan for well over 10 years. I remember when the first one came out and how much it scared me. I bought MH Tri with my own money and have played nearly every game since. I did this piece back in 2016 to show my love of insect glaive and triumph over Diablos.

My first artfight piece. I kept things simple but I'm very very very out of practice. I hope they like it. OTL

One of my brothers was reading my story for me and he read the terrible first few chapters first draft and only 5 of the second draft. I've been trying to get him to read but he's been really put off and wouldn't tell me why. Today he finally told me that the first draft implied it was a romance.

This is a redraw of a fanpiece I tried to do when I was active on Gaia Online. The original is atrocious and is mia but this was one of my first pieces where I was understanding digital art better. Circa 2012-2014 ish?

This is from when I was in college so this is roughly 2013 ish. I was so confident this was realistic comparable to the masters. I was cringe but I was free.

Hopefully I filled this out right. I've heard about artfight for so long (never knew there was a website since I knew about from before the site), nonetheless I will try my best? #artfight #artfight2025 #teamfossils
