((ai and stuff like that will be blocked >:0))
This game is filled with bugs!!
🩵🦋 Quite literally!! 🦋🩵
To celebrate the demo’s release I wanted to do a big art piece, one I’ve only ever done once before!! A little animation! 💓🐛
Tired of the machine? Try going insane today! 🦗⚙️

I’m currently going through a depressive episode. I’m so thankful for my mood stabilizers for making these way more manageable! But a telltale sign that one is creeping up on me is that I feel so creatively blocked and empty. It’s frustrating, but at least I’m in a better place to work through it!
I really wanted to participate in this!! It’s such a cute idea I had so much fun drawing Blythe with Qi!! >< 💓💓💓
EVERYONE GO DRAW YOUR OCS WITH QI RIGHT NOW!!!!

I wanted to doodle some of the side characters because I never finalized their designs. Here is Norman Cook, Amaryllis’ husband! And Antoinette Vivian Davis, Henrietta’s little sister! :)

Also! They do have their own bug associations! So does William, Blythe’s cousin! It won’t be apparent in the game (yet) but I wonder if anyone has guesses as to what bugs they are :3
I thought I’d be able to get a lot of Pupa Project stuff done through recovery, but that is proving to be very difficult ;w;
I was aiming to be able to release the first full chapter at the end of December, but I think it might take more time than that! Thank you guys for always standing by! 💓🐛
It’s not even the coding itself that will take a long time, it’s the art. I’m doing all the art for this project alone. The backgrounds, the CGs, the sprites. I was so so blessed to have a volunteer work on the actual GUI/UI! But besides that, everything is a one man job, as it stands right now! 🖌️🐛
I GOT MY DRAINS OUT!!!!
I feel so so much better and it’s crazy to think…. My chest is flat now…. I started crying about it BAHAHAH IM SO SO HAPPY GUYS!!!

Hello dear patients!! 💓🐛
I apologize for the long silence! I have been recovering from surgery all this past week and I haven’t had much energy! Things are going very well! If everything goes according to plan, I will be getting the drains out on Thursday! So I’m tremendously excited!! :D 💕🦋
Quick little piece I finished this morning!! I haven’t done a fully rendered piece in a while so this felt so satisfying to do!! >< 💗💋🪳

I just want to say
Thank you all so much for your support on the OCD awareness piece I did. I’ve gotten multiple comments across platforms about how much this piece means to people already and that has genuinely made me sob from joy.
Thank you all for making me feel less alone in turn. ❤️🪲
Sometimes having your head in the clouds isn’t as dreamy as people think… ☁️🪲
October is OCD awareness month! And I am more terrified to post this than I ever have been with any of my pieces thus far.
#PupaProject#OCDAwarenessMonth#OCD#art
Guys all I had was anxiety inducing dreams about posting it last night. IT’S HONESTLY KINDA COMICAL THAT THE OCD ART PIECE IS PROVING THE FACT OF HOW BAD MY OCD IS BAHAHA
And it’s also proving the point of why I feel it’s so important to post. I AM STRONG. I AM BRAVE. I WILL NOT BACK DOWN! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
I am working on a new art piece. I will most likely be finishing it tomorrow, but my heart is racing so fast just thinking about posting it.
I am always very outspoken about mental health and what I experience, but the next piece is unlike something I’ve put out thus far.

Of course it will be explored in Pupa Project, but so far, my art of the project has mainly revolved around schizophrenia. So finally, I will be sharing a piece depicting my OCD thought patterns. And I’m kinda tearing up already thinking about sharing it because it really is so scary.

October is OCD awareness month, and I’ve explained a couple times that I was diagnosed with OCD a year before Schizoaffective. So, that means I never got proper help with OCD.
Now, OCD is one of the most debilitating things I experience everyday. Way more than my psychotic symptoms, honestly.
There’s a timeline where I don’t exist.
There’s a world in which I took my life before I turned 18.

September is Suicide Awareness Month. Given the nature of Pupa Project and how much working on it has helped me, I wanted to share my own experiences surrounding suicide.

On this day last year I started drawing my manga with little to no experience in comics/manga
I've gotten a lot of questions over the last year about how I've done this, so I made a (free) Patreon post talking about my experiences with this project so far! ☕💚

I’m still in the process of learning how to order different stuff, so it’ll be some time until anything is ready! But I figured I’d ask this question now before I start locking in!! >:3
I am working on the actual backgrounds now yay!!! I only need two for this Time Fragment, so I’m really relieved about that BAHAHA Backgrounds and environments are my weakest point as an artist I think… but I’m doing my best! 😼💕🐛

Support Black Independant media
There's so many of us making Indie Animation, Indie Webseries, Indie Audio Dramas/Novels, Visual Novels, Games
So many people say they want more Black_insert thing_ Chances are it exists and it's right here, you just have to support it
It's #blackhistorymonth . Are you supporting BLACK #indieanimation and black independent media as a whole ? There's so many black indie creators making our work because studio systems tell us there's no audience. Check out this thread for a plethora of BLACK INDIE projects .
ALSO! I hope you guys know that everyone has body hair. Even the ladies. It was just hard to show with all their layers. But shaving body hair did not exist until like the 1920s and I REFUSE to draw humans without things like their body hair, scars, acne, etc 😤 BECAUSE I LOVE THESE HUMAN TRAITS!! 🥹🩵
Pupa height chart….. I am working on pupa height chart…. And also like… showcasing the characters’ body types and stuff…. Good reference material…. Yes yes yes 🙂↕️
Haru: "What!? Why does she get to be the princess!? That's no fair! All she does is play in the dirt! That's not princess-like at all!"
Blythe: "Haru is right. I am okay. Goodbye."
Haru and Hana sprites are done! Yay!! >< 💗🐛
