Hello friends! Happy New Years and all that fun stuff. I hope you guys had a chill holiday season. Mines wasn't so great. I caught covid and had to deal with all of that during Xmas and New Years. I was planning on getting some artwork done in the 2 weeks I had off, but instead I ended up binge watching Netflix and Crunchyroll. It wasn't terrible, but it sucked not being able to get anything done. Thankfully I'm past all of that now and feeling much better again.
All that being said I just wanted to shoot a thank you out to all of you. Shikigami is complete. All the work in the series can be viewed now, and I hope you enjoyed seeing all the work and getting in to the lore. Big thank you to everyone who purchased the book. I hope that reading the lore and getting in to the world was an enjoyable experience for you. Also thanks to everyone who took the time to comment and share the pieces too. I appreciate gestures like that. Putting your time and effort to interact with and share my work means a lot to me.

Moving forward the plan is to make more series like Shikigami, with digital artbooks and lore/worldbuilding to go with it. It seems like a great outlet for me to put out the ideas I want to explore. For future releases I'd like to provide more tutorial and thought process material, such as sketchbooks and something like commentary to explain what I was thinking or how I approached something. Is that something you guys would be interested in? I already have a list of future projects I'd like to tackle. Just need to do the work to get them done!
Again thank you to all of you. Happy New Year and I hope you get what you're striving for in 2021.
Oh man hey guys, i'm back!
Gonna be adding some stuff from my new project Shikigami. It explores Shintoism, Yokai mythos, and Japanese cultural tropes. Kinda weeby, but I love this stuff so whatever. (is it weeby if i'm part Japanese??????) Imagine Rainbow Six: Siege x Sekiro... something along those lines. Stay tuned for the artwork and if you'd like to help support my work you can jump over to Gumroad and purchase the digital artbook and view the whole collection before everyone else! It also has some bits of world building and greater context for those who wanna dig deep.
