My debut novel "SOUL STEALER" is available for pre-order on Amazon 😭👌🏾 I've learnt so much writing it and plan on writing two more books this year.

It's a dark action & adventure fantasy! Kita (The MC) has magic that is fuelled by consuming the souls of others.

Strangest thing just happened. Spent the last 5 hours drawing a piece that started coming together even though I didn't know what I was drawing and after a few touchups I decided to take a break- that's when BAM, I wake up from a frikkin dream! Wtf

Drew 2 of my OC's from my world LUNÁ. Feels awesome actually seeing them after 6 years of thinking about them.

Keeping myself busy until I'm so bored, I might as well keep writing
I've been struggling to write lately due to publishing setbacks and lack of confidence. I've found a few things that help and thought I'd share. Please tell me what works for you.

- Setting word targets
- Getting outside and exercising
- Absorbing all sorts of art
- Remembering why I started.

So unmotivated to keep editing my book because "No one's gonna buy it anyway" so I have to find the drive to finish it for me 🥲👌🏾 ugh

Did a cinematography study to better grasp lighting and composition in drawing. Had a ton of fun considering my DoP background.

Stop overthinking it and WRITE

This year I got a few chances to pitch scripts and one of the biggest lessons I learnt is that you have to adapt to the investor. It's often a prolonged conversation about contracts.

You need to know what you want, why you want it and how it'll be used long before you enter a meeting. 1/2

Honestly, I've found that over 60% of my approach to storytelling is asking questions that lead to different outcomes/experiences within the narrative, and then rationalizing or feeling which answer is best for the story

A little lighting study from the "Miyonaka no door" music video.

She delivers Pizza and beatings.

In a world where the Yakuza is a pizza delivery franchise and a front for a dark underworld. I wanted to draw a Yakuza Pizza delivery girl OC 😂

At this point in my journey, my posing, anatomy and shading were so much better.

If your art form/medium isn't teaching you more about yourself you might want to start looking deeper and asking WHY you create.

Thought I'd share one of my favourite quotes:

"Some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe" - Lex Luthor

Morning everyone, another great day to think about creating something only to spend the day rewatching modern family 👍🏾

Art is fun, it pisses me off but it's fun and I'm passionate about it even if I don't draw enough

Dialogue is one of the toughest aspects of writing and takes a while to get good at, so here's a #writingtip for ya-

Listen to other people speak.

That's it, that's the advice. Happy eavesdropping.

I wanted to make a character that yeets black holes at enemies ⚫ Here she is.

She has a bit of a villainous side but it's tame now that she's part of the Guardians.

I wrote my book in third person present cause I thought I was cool and hip... I've spent two months changing 'is' to 'was' and I think I'm in hell.

Send Oreos plz.

Did I hear "storm the castle"? 👀
Bizarre how much money the games industry turns over yet it can't afford in-person events, keeping studios intact without layoffs, or a functional press. Something needs to change!
