can you believe this is the first KH pic I've done this year? what have I been DOING

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I'm going to continue to cling to the idea of celestial trio until proven otherwise. Here they are in something approaching whimsigoth. Let them wear colors again

Do I bother tagging any new drawings if they may get too close to anything that could happen in 4? Is now a good time to fully wander away from social media and see how much I can get done with such abundant free time? What do leakers have against the joy of discovery as it's intended to happen?

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Folks out here ruining the joy of theorizing and for what? Internet points? CLICKS? I wanted to get excited with everyone about 4 and now I can't go into the tags for a year+ in the hopes of avoiding leaked information.

Spoilers for Witch Hat Atelier chapter 40 I call this Two Can Keep a Secret. I started it before I read chapter 93 and then I did and changed a detail. And have plans for a companion piece.

Do not take my silence for not being hype as hell about KH4. My roommates have been getting the brunt of it in the form of somewhat disjointed rants. I've also come to realize the amount of KH information I can retain over years may be above average. I am the xckd comic of average familiarity.

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I realize I now have a timeline to get the images out of my head before KH4 comes out and buries my wild dreams in the ground. Not that it would stop me but it's fun to draw out maybes before canon gets in the way.

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

also, regarding the animated series: I am high-fiving all the other mobile game fans. we've gotta be getting more on the upperclassmen

000

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

i think it'd be funny if KH keeps up this trend of showing trailers when you don't expect them

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

kinda disappointed I can't even view artfight profiles without an account :/

pep talking myself: "Listen there's hardly any fics anyways, it's 'oh shit, two cakes!' territory."

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

trying to finish a fic I started 3 years ago, only made it about 50 words longer in a couple hours. It's still under 1k. "Man, I need to figure out a natural flow of conversation." but, well. how normal have any previous conversations between these two been?

110

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

I've already accidentally called Yozora Noctis once and I'm blaming that on the Re:Mind ending being the opening of the Versus XIII trailer. Which I've just looked up (to again verify I'm not making it up) and that trailer is from 2011. Watch as I crumble to dust before your very eyes

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

i was content with a new illustration for the switch2 bundle and then i was BLINDSIDED and still not over it. this is all i will think about all day

000

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

not to post spoilers but luxord looks so good holy SHIT

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

im trying to be cool at work but also my heartrate oh my god TRIALER MY GUYS

100

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

and I know I'm late to the party as usual since DQB2 came out years ago, but listen if you have a hankering for Pokopia but no Switch2, give the demo a try. It's HUGE and available across platforms

000

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Also idk if I've mentioned it but I've been playing DQ Builders 2 for the past month+ and sinking Way Too Much time into it. I hope to start a replay of IX on a plane trip next month and maybe this time I'll finish the game. (Other unfinished games are III and Monsters 2, both for GBA.)

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

I may not be the most consistent Dragon Quest fan but I did almost start yellin' when I saw the new DQM announcement.

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

You never realize how big Artist Alley was until you decide to go through the list of artists because you didn't pick up any business cards.

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Little feet are floral wire wrapped in thread, eyes are embroidered on bedsheet then stitched on, body is floral wire spine wrapped in old mattress cover then covered in material cut from a sherpa pullover. Polyfil inside for extra fluff and presto! A bug with only slightly wonky eyes.

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

This time my almost month-long silence was me trying to finish a Qifrey costume for a con, which I decided to put on hold due to having issues with my eye (harhar). So! I made a brushbuddy instead.

120

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

if I get another person saying "but what about [pokemon that isn't categorized as Puppy Pokemon] :(" I may start yelling. My favourite dogs aren't in that piece either because that's not The Point. Do I need to start adding full descriptions and intentions to my art blog

010

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

I need to finish this WHA piece so I can stop seeing nothing but silent reblogs of puppy pokemon in my notes on tumblr. Is this what it's like to post things that don't reach a niche audience. I miss causing emotional damage.

100

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

anyway I guess after I finish this piece (full work contains spoilers up to chapter 40) I'll do a companion piece with spoilers up to 93 (I blocked in his hair at work yesterday which is why it's Line tool haha)

000

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

update: I am WEAK and also my roommate kept stumbling upon spoilers outside of tags so I got SKEERED (and bored at work) so I am now caught up on WHA and ough oof owie

100

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Could I find fan translations up to the current chapter? Sure. But sometimes it's nice to have something to look forward to and a reason to leave the house.

100

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

I want to see how people who are anime-only are enjoying Witch Hat Atelier but I refuse to go into any tags because if I see spoilers past the current English manga release I may pitch a fit.

100

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

In the age of generative AI it's no longer fun to groan about having someone else finish my work - instead it's more motivating because dammit, I'm gonna do it with my OWN HANDS. No one else can pull this vision from my head. (I still jokingly grumble every now and then before shutting it down.)

130

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

I want to make a somewhat-scale model of what I think Radiant Garden should look like in the KH3 era but I have neither time nor space for such an undertaking. It's a project I consider every once and a while.

000

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Been telling myself I need to do more original work or at least more widely appealing things so I can make money on the side but I keep thinking about the same niche nonsense I usually do.

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

A whole team of Puppy Pokemon!

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

(bonus) The other half covers responsive design, layout (flex, grid, etc), major building blocks, and resources for galleries and writing. Then I'd go into fun things like buttons, cliques, adoptables, guestbooks, and (my favourite) SHRINES. All this with an emphasis on Connection.

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

This first, mostly finished, half of the zine is what I consider the backbone to building a (again, hobby-level) website. (4/4)

100

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

This spread gets it's own post because I really want people to understand file paths. If you understand these, moving between hosts (and testing locally without internet) is simple. (3/4)

100

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

My site is hosted on Neocities, but this (hobby-level) guide is applicable to any host of your choice. (2/4)

100

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Last summer I started working on a zine about building your own website, worked on it for a few months, then petered out halfway through. Maybe I'll finish it one day, but for now here's what I have so far (1/4):

ooo new flavor foley song for my birthday weekend

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

I am enjoying rereading them, since that corner of fandom was what got me back into fandom as a whole. If I post any spot illustrations I hope to do for 'em, they'll be without context.

000

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

I've been not drawing for a different reason than my usual not drawing, which is that I've been working on formatting fics to bind into books. Fics from a fandom that was more euthanized than died of natural causes.

100

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

had a thought I'd edit out the more overt shippy things but then remembered what i put on the cover:

000

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

making a zine of the last few years of drawing because it's something to do when I'm away from my desk but how much of my nonsense do I edit out since maybe it'd be useful to show my family

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

after being gone from Neopets for a year, my first two games of Sakhmet Solitaire were both wins and I finally got the gold trophy. it's a winter starlight celebration miracle

000

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

I think I want to make a Pokemon page like my Animal Crossing and KH pages to feature my teams through the games. Maybe one day when I finally make some sketches of my Yuu I'll make a Twisted Wonderland page as well. Also considering getting back into Neopets after a year+ away...

000

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

I want to do more work on the Halloween shrine. I'd like to do something for my art galleries - something isn't quite right with them - but maybe I'll just make a Featured Pieces page instead. I need to finally update my Links page with buttons, which I've been putting off for too long.

100

Zelv @triptychtalk.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Updated my site for the first time in two months with that recent piece and now I'm again considering rebuilding it with cleaner code (actually utilizing semantic elements). Also thinking of more silly pages I can make.
