✨️ Currently editing my contemporary fantasy novel - Lights of the North ✨️
🦖 Story/art enjoyer (reading/watching/playing). Writer. I post story sketches, review stuff, take raw photos, yap about animals/creatures. 🦖
Haven't shared a sketch in a while (did this a while back, still on my drawing hiatus 😑), so here's one that's been on my mind a lot today. Clothes I've always been horrible with so I just kinda phone them in, like this cloak here.

THE GAMES GODS PLAY X THE TWELVE KINGDOMS

Aurora yearns for belonging, but her dreams have become more horrific, eventually becoming true. When a group of strangers enters her home, she finds out the idea of 'fantasy' was walking here on Earth, all along...

This manga panel from Darkest Corners of the Heart has a good reminder here. Two writers discuss what happens when they feel "empty" with their writing, and how to hop over that hurdle. Incredibly relatable, solid advice!

Lately been digging into niche anime/manga from the 80s/90s for some unique stories. Needed some vibes and inspiration for writing.
Just finished watching the Earthian OVA. I expected a fantasy about angels on earth, got a cyberpunk instead with bio-humans and cyber-angels? Sure, ok!

Creature Romances: For the Ladies
The otome game where you can choose between a multi-eyed slime and a giant isopod. It's short, even when you go through all of the routes/bad ends. Monster boys really don't like it if you tell them you hate them, though 😶

Red Cat Ramen
Yeah, I do tend to post A LOT of cat-related shows 😅 This one has talking cats who run a ramen restaurant. Enjoy food shows/ramen? Enjoy cats? Might be the perfect SoL, then! I just can't sometimes when they actually act cat-y. 😆 I can't not recommend this show/manga.

The Twelve Kingdoms Book Two
After the dread and despair in Book One, I'm glad to see Book Two broke away from that. The info dump of worldbuilding continues on with some neat things, along with a few silly ones. I'm glad that the answers were all FINALLY explained in this one.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd
(I only seem to have time for one Trails a year 😅) Another great entry! While I can see why it's a divisive title in the trilogy, I really enjoyed it, especially after seeing what they were doing with the story. On par with SC, for me.

(Cheating a bit because I watched the show, which was SO good, and haven't picked up the books yet).
The Summer Hikaru Died blends horror and mystery, and an MC dealing with grief and coming to terms with his sexuality. So many emotions 😭

A couple beach pictures from today. Never seen ground squirrels burrow so close to the ocean (several feet from the shoreline). I can only imagine how detailed their tunnels go during storms/high tides.

I guess I can pull out my collage from ChaosPit. There's not enough of a character limit to list out the huge number of things. Even if it was for one small thing or a throw away gag, I added it in. A few references in there that I don't even remember what I used from it, anymore 😋

I'm actually picky with my sci-fi (mostly a creature nerd) but this one really clicked! Read through so fast then watched the anime with a great adaptation! A group of teens set out for space camp, get lost in space. But there's a bit more going on... From the Witch Watch mangaka!

AHHHH!! 😯 I love my new art commission!! Turmok and Zahn have never looked better!! 😁

An excellent 1-shot! The MC is terrible, and the story really shows this. Can't say too much, but what a great ending that was!

Heaven's Design Team
Angels are outsourced to R&D all of Earth's animals. They navigate through the perfect creature designs and the many, many failures... I mean, there's a reason that long-legged penguins just wouldn't work! A great comedy series, especially for fans of zoology.

The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today
An office worker takes care of a kitten that gets... real big. Now he's her roommate who takes care of the housework when she hits exhaustion. Reliable but also still catty! (GoHands camera angles aren't as intrusive in this series, either).

Silent Hill f
Great game! Been a LONG TIME since I beat a game in 3 days! Excellent pacing, very pretty art design, and great use of folklore to tie into the themes of the story.

The Summer Hikaru Died S1
What an incredible show! Amazing art direction and just SO many feels!! That last ep too was just sooo 😭😭😭 I want these two to be happy so bad! 😣 Cannot wait for S2 (and I really need to pick up the manga too...)

Spellcheck, plz... This is what you came up with? 😑

Insufficient Direction
Read this before watching Evangelion 3.0+1.0 and wow this added SO much context! The anime is super short and shares the daily adventures of Hideaki Anno and his wife... all from her perspective, of course. Voiced by Eva characters! Nerdery + spouse bickering.

*browses page* Huh, I actually found something that even fit the 'sacrifice' bit here 😋

Nyaight of the Living Cat
The nyanpocalypse! Touch a cat, turn into a cat. It's hell for cat lovers who can no longer pet their beloved kawaii neko-chan! This comedy just struck a chord for me.
Absurd humor? ✔️
Movie references? ✔️
Metal soundtrack? ✔️
Takashi Miike directing? ✔️
