I swear I’m still alive and working, just haven’t had much juice in the tank for social media lately. The past few months have been insane (in the mildly soul-crushing way). Slowly crawling my way back 🧟‍♀️

I need to keep reminding myself of this.

Split image showing a productivity message and a visual novel art improvement. Left side has two teal circles with captions: “Just make it exist first” above a rough scribble, and “You can make it good later” above a clean circle. Right side shows two screenshots of the same scene from inside a car: the top is a rough, flat illustration of a female police officer leaning to the window with simple background and the dialogue “Guy: Wait.”; the bottom is a polished, detailed version of the same scene with improved lighting, textures, and UI.

Hi everyone! We've been on a bit of a social media summer break, but we're getting ready to come back in full swing. In the meantime, please enjoy this new screenshot.

A visual novel screenshot showing a suburban house with a red sunset in the background. The neighborhood is foggy and the trees look barren and spider-like, giving the image a creepy, horror-like vibe. Text on the bottom reads "Could I really have done it? Done something so... evil?"

Needs...more...clutter...still... #art
A neat lineart drawing in an anime style: A lazy looking police officer leaning back at his desk with a smug expression. The desk is filled with clutter such as paper cups, a soda can, folders, a keychain etc. and has an old 90s style computer and phone.

Morning drive. February 26th, 1992.

An illustrated POV shot of driving a 1990 bmw 325i, drawn in an anime style. Sun is hitting the dashboard and there's a spruce shaped car air-freshener hanging from the mirror. The LCD clock reads 9:33.
