Welcome ! Hello, thanks for clicking and welcome to my blog! The purpose of this blog has recently become for me to use it as an art log, posting a new drawing everyday so I can get rid of my artblock. But it's also just filled with my random thoughts and yaps. There isn't a lot of actual blog entries around here but I might write some soon, possibly about art and writing tips (me in my journalist era). I also talk a lot about Marvel Rivals here but it's not an addiction trust This is my new blog page, to view the older blog click here! (Due to the photoviewer, the links on this page are kinda weird. Right click on any green links to open them) Please enjoy whoever is reading this :)
09/06/2025 The new blog page is up, yipee! This is my blog version 2, since my other older blog page will still be up. But it won't be the direct link on the index page, this new blog page will replace that and the older blog will now only be accessible through the other section on the sidebar. Hope that's not too confusing lmao, but the reason I'm not transferring all previous entries is because it would take so long and it would just be tedious. I've only brought in the most recent entries here to fill this page up a bit. I think this new page looks really cool, I prefer it over the old blog page. I added those entry sectinons I mentioned previously so that the blog section doesn't get too long. I was inspired by sugarfantasies blog page for this section! I also really like the little random figures that display on the right side of the page everytime you refresh. I got that code here, so now I can display my fav bishoujo figures that I cannot afford lol. There's also that view image feature I added. The drawings do appear a bit blurry when zoomed in, but it's fine and much better than just adding the drawing in. I've made nearly all the dialogue sprites for that new project. This thing doesn't have a name yet either, but I finally thought up some proper names for the two main characters. The protagonist's name is Felicia Rios and I decided to name the detective Vincent Baxter (unfortunately he won't be called Freddy Fazbear). Both of them will have 4 unique sprites, with different expressions for each, so here is one from each. I think they look aight. I'm still writing the script/dialogue for the game, but it's kinda been a weird process. I already know how I want the story to go, I've written the outline for that so it's not like I'm having trouble writing the rest because I don't have any ideas. Idk but it's just been kinda tricky writing the actual dialogue. Sometimes I get some inspo and think of little bits of dialogue, which I then write on my notes app lmao, but writing from start to finish is a bit more difficult for me. Maybe I should just try to plan out the dialogue for certain scenes and put the parts together from there, and then fill out the remaining blanks. I guess that would work best. I like writing but then I don't actually like writing lmao. I have yet to make any of the map assets and I also have not tested the MZ3D plugin, so actual game process is at a 0%. I've thought that if I can't finish this before the visual novel jam ends, I'll just have to submit it solo or maybe a different gamejam. Either way, I still have plans to finish this before this year ends so that's good. Big new rivals update blast. The new update isn't out yet, but everything that has been shown around it looks really cool. Angela looks like a really cool new character but my brain is not built for flying characters. So I might pass on her and continue using Emma as my main tank. Anyways, the timing for this is crazy cause have you seen the new Mantis skin???? I was literally thinking how much I would like for her to get a summer skin and she is now, and it looks so cute! I like how it references her first comic appearance. I hope it's part of the summer pass so I have a reason to buy that. And the invis summer skin too?? I just got her first steps skin but this one is also so pretty, I'm going broke for them. And thing is getting a new skin again, greedy ahh rock. I wanna make those nameplate stamps again, I don't think anybody uses them but making them makes me happy
09/01/2025 Wake up it's the first of the month I made their sprites, they are looking mega blurry here. I don’t really do pixel art, I’ve only tried it a few times and my attempts have been alright. I think it looks nice but I don’t know how good it actually is in terms of pixel art standards lol. I still need to do the rest of the sprite sheet for Felicia as well. These sprites are kinda big, each one is 80x170 (and I think the RPG Maker sprites are 42x42 or something). Not sure how much that will affect the rest of the game, if anything I’ll probably just have to scale up the rest of the map assets. This whole section is just a ramble. I’ve also thought about making the game 2.5d. I originally thought of making it a simple top-down game but idk I just like the 3d look better. I’m gonna need to test out the demo for that soon cuz the plugin costs money and I’m unemployed. I don’t think the rest of the map assets will take too long to make, since there aren’t many map locations planned. I made a very, very rough sketch of the map layout but I should probably make it more detailed for when I’m actually working on the assets. But for right now, I’m working on the dialogue sprites since there aren’t too many of those. My plan for this week is to finish all of those. I also have the story outline done, although I want to write out the story beats before I get to the dialogue script. Maybe it’s not the best idea to write the story in the middle of everything else, but unlike H4H this story is actually simple and I have a clearer direction for it. I’m also not a composer so there won’t be any ost for this lmao. I guess it’s not that bad, I’ll just have to look for some fire royalty free music. That visual game jam started today. I genuinely don’t know if I can finish this by the end of the month but I’ll try my best. It’s the art and programming that will take the longest obviously. Writing the actual dialogue won’t take too long but I’m gonna need to edit and proofread my own work too. This game dev stuff is no joke. Ntm for my rivals yap. I’m looking forward to the new season.
08/30/2025 A grand total of 4 entries for the entire month of August chat I fell off. So I drew the designs for the two major characters of my new project. It’s Felicia and this detective guy that doesn’t have a name yet. Just putting this again, this is a new story I’m working on for a game/project. The story is set in a 70s-80s corporate New York office and it’s a murder mystery sorta. The basic premise is that there’s mass panic in the city after reports of several murders of various wealthy businessmen. Some of these reports are for the corporation Felicia works at, since she’s a secretary for one of the largest corporations in the city. It’s probably obvious by now, Felicia is the main character of the story. She’s ditzy and airheaded, basically the dumb blonde trope but her hair is brown lmao. She stands out from the others working around her, but in a way that’s beneficial to her. Since her corporation has been a target for the murders, the office she works at has undergone a number of investigations. The detective guy has been seen pretty frequently around the office at this time since he has been working on this case and leading the investigations. For the remainder of the story, Felicia has to continue work as usual while this is all happening, but she also decides to offer her help to the detective. It’s an odd pair, especially with the contrast between their characters. The detective didn’t really want to accept Felicia’s help, with his personality being more stoic and uptight, but with her position, she does seem to have a lot of useful information. Wow epic story 10/10. Like mentioned in my previous entry, my goal is to submit this game as an entry to the visual novel game jam but if I’m not able to, then I at least hope to finish it before the end of this year. I don’t usually talk about the character design process but I will now. For both of these designs, I wanted to make sure the fashion was accurate to the time period. However, I used Pinterest so I got a lot of office siren and tiktok trendy outfits I needed to filter out, but hopefully they read correctly idk. For Felicia, I basically just chose an outfit from an old photograph and went from there. I wanted her skirt to be like a mermaid-skirt because I like how that looked. Her hair was different in the first sketch, it was basically that fluffy 70s hair. But I was seeing a lot of videos of curly hair on fyp so I decided to change her hair to be curlier instead. It looked more interesting and I don’t usually give characters that type of hair style. Something about her design does feel a bit plain? But I’d rather that than to overdesign her, maybe I’ll tweak a few details later on. And for the detective that doesn’t have a name, idk maybe he can be called Freddy Fazbear or something, again I just looked for time period accurate outfits and tried to make it fit with his job. He does look very similar to Louis but if he were normal and actually had emotions. I promise I can draw different types of characters guys, but maybe giving him blond hair with a brown coat was not the best idea lmao. Part of his design and character is that he likes funky ties, just thought it was a cute trait. Maybe he also sometimes wears a hat. I intend for there to be other characters but I haven’t designed them yet, they’re also just not that important as these two to the story so… Holy yap but this is a blog so who gaf. Now about site stuff, I kinda want to re-do this blog page again. I still think it’s cute, but it’s getting way too long, that tiny scrollbar stresses me out lmao. I’ve seen other sites put their entries into smaller containers, so I might do that. And I might also add tabs to separate the entries into categories, like months or themes, so it doesn’t get too long. It would also be nice to add a zoom in feature for the drawings, cuz they tend to look kinda low-quality as they are now. I’ve also thought about making actual blog entries where I talk about a topic instead of just rambling about random stuff, I mean I would still be rambling but you know. For a while now I’ve been practicing mantis a lot in vs ai. But now that she’s considered ‘usable’ again, I’ve been using her in quickplay a lot more. I really do like playing invis and luna but mantis as a support is so fun, at least when you don’t have some negative dps on your team yelling in your ear that she’s a bad pick. I think the practicing was useful cuz I’ve been doing pretty well with her on qp. My accuracy with her has improved a lot since when I first picked her up. Still, I need more mantis buffs netease please. I do really wanna get lord on her, I’m currently at the second level (idk what it’s called lol). Ngl, I’ve never really thought about which Marvel characters are my fav (except for Bucky ofc) but now that I think of it mantis was one of my favs in the movies, she’s so funny actually. Well I guess I’m in my mantis era. Also the new game mode is pretty fun. I’ve seen a lot of people say they hate it but I think it’s aight.
08/27/2025 It's been a while again but I drew him again heh. This was for a tiktok I made for that one 'my oc rates your oc' trend. I made a couple silly expressions of him but I like this one, it's extra silly. Elite ball knowledge if you know the ref. I've been feeling art blocked again but in a weird way. I really want to draw but I have no inspiration for what to draw. Like yeah I could think of a drawing idea but if that idea doesn't keep my interest then I don't feel like continuing with the drawing anymore. Yeah bro idk but I wanna draw grrr No new site stuff going on atm. The new character profiles are still a work in process and will take me a while. I guess I really am coding-blocked. Idk maybe I'll work on a new shrine soon or make new character profile since filling those out is fun. Anyways, I’ve also been thinking about starting a new project. My main H4H project, which the my ocs and devlog page are centered about, has been on a hiatus. I’m still working on it but I guess I’ve been feeling blocked in terms of writing the story. So I want to work on a simpler and shorter story before I get to my main project. It’s ironic because H4H was meant to be very short but it just kept getting longer because of my delusions I guess. But like they said, don’t start with your passion projects first I think? I don’t know lol I need to get this story out before I die. But about my new project, these two aren’t the only two stories I have going on but I guess I’m not as insane about the rest. The thing is I bought RPG Maker about a year ago and I need to use it for something. Despite my personal opinions with the program, it’s not bad and you can make simple stuff work with it, which is why I wanna use it for this new story I’m making. I kinda want to make this game for a game jam, maybe even that one visual novel game jam (my ahh better get to working if I do join that cuz it’s coming soon). So this game is meant to be like those visual novel types of RPG Maker games that are all over itch.io. I’ll share more details about the story and characters soon, because I don’t want to shut up and will yap, but for now a very simple overview. The game is set in a 70s corporate New York office and it’s a murder mystery sorta. It’s horror but it’s really not that scary, well maybe corporate culture and jobs is scary for some, and it’s also a comedy. For nearly every horror story I work on I always seem to include dark comedy in some way, this one too. Heh, I suppose my mind is just dark and twisted like that /this is satire. So yeah I’m kinda still working on the story and game details so I’ll yap more about that when that’s done, and I’ll show the characters soon too (but there’s only like 2 characters for this story anyways). Although my devlog page was meant for H4H stuff, I might use it for updates on this new project, or maybe I’ll keep updates in this blog page idk. I really talk a lot maybe I should become a png youtuber with a sona that crosses their arms idk So about that new c&d skin I was glazing, I didn't get it bc I find it kinda mid lol. But maybe my opinion will change. Not much to talk about here, I've just been playing as always. Although the new season trailer will be released next week I think, it's kinda crazy how fast the seasons are going with the new schedule. I already saw the leaks and bro.. can I have another strategist at least please. I just want another character to be able to choose from, specially since it's the role with the least characters. Anyways, having a duo to play doom match with seems really fun i wish i had friends
08/08/2025 Life be so sad and depressing and then omg Louis!! I haven't made an entry with an oc drawing since July 11 but I'll make more stuff with them soon. I mentioned in his character profile that he was inspired by Patrick Bateman so I made a drawing in reference to that. But for this drawing I tried grayscale. I don't do grayscale ever but since I was drawing directly from a reference picture I decided to try it. There has also been a couple tiktoks in my fyp that showed a process of coloring grayscale using gradient maps so I wanted to try that too. I enjoyed the process, it felt pretty relaxing. It was also very helpful for rendering the coat since it's meant to be transparent. I used a ton of gradiant maps for this lmao but I really like how it turned out. Although maybe I should have added more detail to his face so it matches with the rest of the rendering I've made a couple of drafts and moodboards for some ideas of the new character profiles. I've started working on a few but coding got hands. I really want to make sure that each profile matches with the character's personality and aesthetic so finishing a few might take me a moment. New rivals update wowie. I haven't played yet since I've been busy with stuff. I've seen some Blade gameplay and he looks cool, not really a character I think I'll play tho but that's fine cuz I won't have to fight the instalockers. My goat Luna goes untouched and gets a new teamup so that's fun. Sad to see that the atlas bond team-up is gone now. I didn't get to use it that often but when I did it was loved. The new hela skin looks very nice, my favorite skin of hers so far imo, but I don't play her enough for me to buy it. Unfortunately I'm unemployed so I can't buy everything, and I'd rather save for the new c&d skin.
