I made the webcomic Black Dram! When I'm not working on comics, I'm probably making pixelarty games.

Trying out buttondown.email for newsletters and I love the way they set up rich text editing. Instead of switching editors or forcing one, it's just "Show toolbar" and "show markdown preview" as checkboxes. Clean, quick, respects your intelligence.
I wish more sites did it like this instead of complicating it in the interest of presenting a "fool-proof" UI.
I had an idea so bad it kept me up for an hour last night. So I drew it today.
Reads right to left.
I originally wrote this in Japanese, but apparently making silly puns work in multiple languages is my one talent.
A drawback to having my own Discord server is I post my WIPs there, feel like my social media quota is filled, and neglect to post anything anywhere that people can actually see it 8D
Finally starting to draw the humans of the village in Vytvalen. There aren't even that many but I'm dreading drawing and animating them.
Finally added some particles to indicate wind and water currents. Wind was already somewhat indicated by snow, but these make it clearer where exactly the wind is.
Been adding background trees to various Vytvalen rooms, here's one I did today :D
I'll add foreground trees later, but I think even like this the rooms look nice.
Had another go at the waterfalls in my game. I couldn't get anything tile-based to look good enough, and last time, particles weren't performant enough.
Today I realised that if I make the particles *really big*, I can get away with way fewer of them while still keeping the flow visually dense.
I released my big pixel font under the Open Font License! 19k+ characters with full Hangul and good Chinese/Japanese support in addition to a hefty set of European characters.
It's meant for pixel art games to make localisation easier, but you're welcome to use it for anything you like.

A very hatchy page today. Thought the hatching looked neat without the lines.
Sometimes you just decide your past self was wrong and that an easy background-less panel definitely needs a background with furniture and wood grain.
The reason I call this one-shot a horror comic is because I have to draw all these roof tiles.
I've come to the realization that the one-shot I'm well into drawing is really just a 46-page shitpost about my OCs. I can't even say I mind.
Just the final two scenes left to pencil of my one-shot! 11 pages to go and then I can just put some movies on and ink mindlessly for however long.
Had a lazy/demotivated day today. I'm still trying to keep up some productivity because I worry that if I don't do something, it'll be even harder to get back to it, so here's a quality™️ Rouya from the page I pencilled today.
Did some thumbnails tonight, here's a tiny Rouya who is even tinier (and cropped) in the actual thumbnails this was for.
Decided to do the #5minuteArtist meme. I don't seem to have many preferences D:
