When I first heard of Inktober, I thought the rules were that you had to draw straight in ink from the get-go, and that you didn't know what each day's prompt was going to be. I don't know why I thought this, but even years after finding out these weren't really the "rules," I still …

Forced Perspective
I originally posted these to Twitter, the first page going up in June and the second page in July. My inspiration was that I got a little tired of seeing everyone and their grandma's poodle redraw that one image of Young Sephiroth in the Flames this past summer when Square Enix had the special FFVII …
GACKT Collage
Today is GACKT's 49th Birthday, wooo! I've been too tired from work to be able to do anything new. But I could at least throw on his records and rock out while putting together a collage of my fanart of him! Happy 49th Birthday, GACKT! This isn't everything, though it is a lot of it. …
Making Mandalas in Photoshop
As I was trying to come up with a new site logo that would display well on browser tabs, I came across an article in the Adobe Support Community about making snowflakes in Photoshop. You can read said article here. I ended up making twelve different designs in one sitting following the instructions in the article, …
Animal House But It’s the Shinra Scientists
I originally did this in February, but today is a great day to post this here. 😁 Descriptive text follows comic. Enjoy! Panel 1 (Hojo is sitting on the stairs with an acoustic guitar as Lucrecia and Hojo's two fangirls from Costa del Sol, all in makeshift togas, look at him adoringly. Someone's approaching knee …

exist†trace – ROUGE
"ROUGE" is the second track on VANGUARD - Of the Muses - and the last track I have left to translate from that release! Woo! Unfortunately, miko hasn't written anything about this song on her blog; I only found posts that mentioned it in set lists. So I won't be able to share any officially …
Whatever It Takes
July 5th through 12th was AeriSeph Week. I had an idea for a 4-panel comic but between working on a different piece and dealing with repeated basement flooding—essentially we've lost a whole floor of utility & storage space, and are going without a water heater until the foundation can be inspected & repaired—I couldn't participate …
Local Sephiroth
This past Memorial Day weekend, there was a flash event called "Local Sephiroth" on Twitter, started by users Kirie and Saku. The premise was to insert Sephiroth into famous places around the world, either where fans lived or had visited. If it hadn't been for the three-day weekend (here in the States at least) I …
SOLDIER Crew and A Whole Lotta Breakdance Research
Back in early February the world was blessed with what is, to me, the best remix of "One-Winged Angel" since "Advent: One-Winged Angel": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsxxnSOg554 When "The Prelude" comes in tho!!! When I read the line "Sephiroth and his entire gang show up with a boombox" I knew I had to draw it. Originally I thought …

I've always loved the track "On Our Way" from Final Fantasy VII but for some reason I'd come to associate it strictly with Icicle Inn. Maybe because I used to stay in the inn to let the inappropriately-dressed party warm up before going back out into the snowy mountains, so I'd hear the music there …
