I had a surgery

As I said on my previous updates I’ve been suffering from a chronic pain and doctors (I went to 4 different doctors) suggested me to undergo a surgery to treat it. But I was not brave to go for that and because I was in the middle of a game dev project, AND because the surgery was super expensive.

So for the past few months I was working in pain, while looking for alternatives. Turned out my employer was such a red flag. I was so angry and just went for the surgery 💁‍♀️ Thankfully I found a doctor who offered various treatm...

Just for fun

Both parents have curiosity to explore and experiment, but Ruu's curiosity is off the charts :D

Also, neither parents have an interest in swordmastery. Raed learned it in his childhood until adolescence, but he was never really interested in it. He prefers a bow or a polearm.

WIP: August wallpaper thumbnails

I made three. Which one should I finish first? I think the right one is suitable for autumn, so I might finish that one for the October wallpaper.

Friends to Enemies

Shatrevar R Zaahir was the second prince of Warudhaim, and Axelya R Zaahir was the third princess of Warudhaim. Revar was adopted to the royal family, Axe was third in line to the throne. Both have no eyes for the thrones, knowing that their other siblings will have a more significant role in ruling the queendom. They both live leisurely, not knowing their fate will take a different turn not far in the future.

This illustration is a pair with the previous month's illustration. I'm gonna post it them side by side on the next post.

I spent most of my time this month in bed rest. I was on a journey looking for treatment for chronic pain, so I went from doctor to doctor to hospital a lot. At one point, I must have contracted a flu from a visitor at another clinic/hospital. And then I got acid reflux in the middle of it. A week later, I got typhoid fever. That last one made...

Pesta Komik 2025 report

I brought Raruurien to Pesta Komik (peskom) yesterday. The traffic was better than I thought it would be and my comic was sold out on day 1.

I didn’t register my comic for award this time because I’ve never won before lmao and I thought it’s better for me to not join at all.

I feel happy from all the people who visited my table and bought my comic AND also telling me encouraging words. But honestly I’ve never stopped feeling like a black sheep here for making a full color comic 😅

But don’t worry. I’ll keep ...

Have I mentioned that I started working full-time? I have, haven't I? I was planning to keep the studio I'm working with a secret until the demo game is released, but the studio announced it lmao. So here we go: I'm working on a game called "Class Zero Seven" as a character designer and visual narrative illustrator. The theme is different from what I usually work on, but somehow it...

Probably one of the toughest months in my life. I got sick, and then my husband got ill and then I had to cancel my attendance at Comipara 4 because of that. I had to juggle working full time, taking care of my sick husband, taking care of house chores, while being in pain myself ;-; Doctor said that I might need surgery if the pain persists. While the pain is still there, it's bearable, so I keep telling myself that I will get better without surgery.

I'm ...

Timelapse: Moon

I spent my time sketching the frame, but I ended up opting it out 😅 I wanted to keep the hair standing out.

The site transfer is completed!

We managed to transfer the comic site to a new host server 🙌, and now it's faster than before.

However, I'll have to pay for the hosting service annually now because there are no ads that covering the fee.

I wish to have the comic site up as long as I live.

"Moon"

March Rewards + Leaving Hiveworks + Kickstarter

I'll send out the rewards tonight! Thank you again for your support!

As mentioned in the title, I ended my contract with Hiveworks. I'm currently in the process of transferring the comic site to another hosting server. I'll manage the website independently from now on. I expect there will be some hiccups (I hope not!) because I'm not familiar with web tech, but I'll do my best.
