New Demo Reel time! Apparently today is #PortfolioDay (allegedly, I don't know how it works so don't quote me on it), so I figured it would be a good chance to finally upload my new animation reel here.

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.

News Eye @newseye.bsky.social · 2d

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

30 swords for 30 days of september and you can see them all on my feed :D

i'm doing a challenge in october too!!! more daily art TwT

#art #conceptart #swordtember #swordtember2025

it's a short sword made of frozen steel with iced over grip and crossguard. there are snow deposits across both of these. from a crossguard, icicles are forming downwards, creating a three-pronged blade look similar to sai weapons but it's just ice... or maybe? who knows what lies beneath

my main WIP used to follow 3 povs, but it didn't have the tension i wanted for a horror. so i'm reworking that draft into a solo-dolo act. we'll see how the in-story narrator feels haha

Nadine and Amia discuss Xavier.

Amia, a Black woman, blushes and asks, "He's a total hunk, right?"

Screenshot of a menu showing the player's possible answers, "For sure!" and "Not really."

The "For sure!" option in the previous image leads to Nadine blushing and answering "I guess so..."

The "Not really." option leads to Nadine looking up and saying "Not really."
