This is a stream. This is a stream where I work on a page from Dark Horse, my free post-apocalyptic magical girl fantasy set in the Pacific Northwest. It's pretty chill. I uploaded this from my Twitch channel. Feel free to listen in and work on your own projects!

The Crystal Lotus Chronicles: Dark Horse

Opening music is from zapsplat.com. Intro edited by Blue Dragon.

Just going on break for a while.

I hope to return in 2024, or sooner, but I can't really say at the moment.

Apologies for the abrupt break.

I'm prepping for the Portland Zine Symposium, running October 28-29, 2023! In this video, I'm sharing how I am reworking an online web comic, The Whimper in the Dark, to fit into a document that I'm printing at home!

This is not a step by step, this is more of a journal talking about The Whimper in the Dark, what I'm doing to change things up, and demonstrating videos of the work necessary for these changes.

Well well well, here we are, mid summer! And I've been working on a summer themed zine submission1 Today I'm going to talk about Aradia Collective's Summer in Aradia, which is going to release before summer comes to a close this year in 2023. More on this once it's released, buuuut it is a free zine put on by the collective, for anyone to enjoy :D It's, of course, also magical girl/person themed.

While inking elements for the cover art on this one-shot, I talk about the story, the inspiration, and what I wanted to do with it. I'm looking forward to sharing the whole thing later this year!

There's also an Aradia Beat and Comic Fury Zine update! Stay tuned :)

A couple months ago I was asked how I make videos. It took me a while to compile and edit this video, but it's finally complete!

I hope it helps anyone looking to make a video. Note: if you're coming here for a normal, no babble, no personality tutorial (which are the ones I usually use and enjoy), this isn't the video for you! XD I always have to insert my thoughts and comments. This is is more a conversational discussion of how I make videos for this channel. But it is still instructive, so I hope it's helpful!!

I use CapCut, Audacity, Video Recorder, OBS

I have used and like iMovie and QuickTime. Both function well.

It's pride month! And every year I try to something to celebrate, usually focusing on characters from my web comic Dark Horse; or discussing/participating in other types of pride month art events. It's been 3 years since I've talked about Xue Feng, so I decided I wanted to talk more about her personality, likes, background.

So Happy Pride Month! I hope when she's finally introduced into the story proper, I do her character justice.

SPOILER WARNING! I talk about a character who's not been introduced yet. If you're reading Dark Horse and don't want any hints/spoilers of future characters, this one may not be for you (I mean, I am bad at this and talk about characters all the time that aren't in the comic yet...I'm trying to be better about that).

We're positively critiquing the cover art for Dark Horse, Time Warp and redoing elements I feel need fixed! In this video, I'm sharing some of my first printed images of Dark Horse (and it's bad, those who have seen it know), but reflecting on it in a positive light. We'll also see a "before" and "after" for the cover of Time Warp!

I had to quickly switch gears this week. I was going to answer a question from January 2023, but as it's pretty involved and takes a lot of editing, I am answering other questions on my list. This week I talk about music bands, my writing process, and ink and more!

I'm a little tired, so please forgive the exhaustion in my voice XD
