The recap for 2025 is still in the works, by the way. We didn’t just forget about it.

Hanako and I sort of went the extra mile this time, and that resulted in a bigger workload than we anticipated… It’ll be late, but it’ll be worth it. That wasn’t going to stop us from getting 2026 ready, though!

Writing isn't easy and fun! It's more like a long drawn out death where the only positive thing anyone says is at least the will is still there! Sit up and write that book you were meant to! What are you even doing here? Doomscrolling for the answers? The answer is survive to tell the story.

Character sprites and reference sheets are the exception here!

For character sprites, commercial merchandising is only +50%.

For reference sheets, commercial merchandising is +50% and monetized content is included for free!

I may adjust these again in the future, so please be patient with me. 😔

I made this back in November for 100% Orange Juice's art contest, but the timing was really close to all my planned October posts... I thought I'd hold off on sharing it for a little while, and now that the results have been announced, it seemed like the perfect time!

I tend to adjust pronunciation based on what was used in the original song, so I end up manually changing the phonemes every time. 😶

I submitted to the VG page in time, but I’m realizing I didn’t comment here??

Oh well -

Happy Birthday, VGen!! 🎉🎊✨

It doesn’t matter if it’s old - he’s still so pretty!! 😭💕

Honestly, I’ve definitely noticed an improvement! Sketching is a longer part of my process and forcing myself to pump this out made me learn to power through the struggle, ignore my perfectionism, and work out faster solutions. While I don’t plan to do this again, I don’t regret committing to it.
