AHH! WARN me before you click next time! geez!! freakin' scared me...
welcome to my little cabin quarters aboard a ship that 'surfs' the web. i'm starsprLte, or just pay (if we're friends!)
i'm a digital artist! i also experiment with crayons and paper crafts. i may even post kandi projects i've made, from time-to-time!
currently, i'm working on a webcomic called DREAMCAST.
digital art tag (2023 - present): "#vapour.png"
old digital art tag (2018 - 2022): "#liquid.png"
traditional art tag (2021 - present): "#traditional art"
crafts tag (2021 - present): "#craftz"
DREAMCAST is a webcomic that i've been writing since 2018, and started releasing pages for in 2019. it follows the story of ethan, a goat plushie, trying to save the plushies that mysteriously disappeared after a strange storm. it also features some... 'arg' elements, with hidden codes and secret pages to find!
read DREAMCAST here!
it's hosted on tumblr! it's got a way better 'about' section over there!
speaking of! i'm really interested in, and passionate about, webcomic creation. i curate a list of tips that i've accumulated over the years, for people interested in making their own webcomic. the kinda stuff i wish i'd known when i was starting, you know?
it's by no means a complete list, and probably won't be for a long time. i'm always happy to answer any questions you might have about webcomic creation! :+)
click here to read it!
aside from DREAMCAST, i have a whole plethora of original characters and story concepts that i hope to develop in the future!
for all OC content, i use the tag "#seedpods". as for story-specific tags...
"#journalist's worst nightmare" - is about orion, his little sister iris, and their weird alien fratboy hikari! they go on cryptid hunts, trying to find ONE that'll consent to having a research paper written about them, to prove the existence of cryptids- and so orion has an impressive portfolio opener for college.
"#who killed finnegan finch?" - is about nina and finnegan. finnegan finch has died! now a ghost with only hazy memories of his life, he and nina are trying to figure out who killed him. in life, finnegan’s made a lot of enemies, so any one of them could’a done it! all he remembers is that nina is important to him... but how?
{the following stories are under construction, the content within their tags is outdated!}
{because i haven't. worked on them. in a longtime}
"#retailiation" - is about toi, xavier, and kyra. three very different people, all working very different jobs. they get swallowed up by their places of work, and transported to a strange pocket dimension, where their true appearance is only revealed when they're display the emotion they try to hide the most.
"#kabloom" - is about wanderlust, roseate, analog, and iliad! everyone has a special power, with a pro... and a con. i have a lot of cleanup i need to do around this story (character redesigns...), so i can't exactly give a concise and snappy description of what it's about.
"pirates need toothbrushes" - is about crowell, a pirate from the past who fell through a wormhole to the modern day; denny, an eccentric and strange little dentist who collects teeth; and jan, a wannabe witch with a flying broom! everyone has an 'itembond', a specific item/category of item that they've used for so long, it's almost like an extension of oneself! this one's more slice of lifey, and mainly about what 3 different kinds of weirdo would get up to.
there's a LOT more i could say about any one of these stories, but this post is so so so long already. this isn't even all of the story ideas i have, i just haven't posted the others on tumblr yet! ack!
again, all of these characters and descriptions are heavily subject to change whenever i sit down to actually start making them. the unyielding hands of time!
this is the stuff that most of my followers are here for- yes i put my OCs above the fanart section LOL. the fan content i post here mainly includes:
pokémon, minecraft, undertale/deltarune, disco elysium, OFF, ace attorney (rare one!), 17776 (rare one!)
HOWEVER. this is NOT the only fan content i will post. i'll post shit for fandoms i'm not even in, and will never post for again! i'm a loose cannon! you'll never guess my next step! wa-ha-ha! beholden unto no one but myself!
and that's about it. thanks for sticking around this far, happy blog browsing!

anyone can make a zine, regardless of skill level or access to materials or design programs. all you need is paper, scissors and drawing utensils (although many people enjoy collaging!) web search "8 page 1 sheet zine how to".
everyone SHOULD make a zine too, you will feel so good about it ♡ it's about putting the power of production into the hands of the people! also you don't have to sell it or anything, you can just make one for yourself or trade/give some to friends!
i really love julia grofrer's guide to analogue self publishing aka making zines on 8.5x11 paper
and jaydragon/jdragsky's thread on staple's self serve print centres (if you're area does not have a local print shop, they probably have a staples or fedex print centre)
if you can't draw, here is twitter thread for public domain art and also a mini summary of when thing enter creative commons (generally 70 years after artist death in the US and CAD)
i also have a DIY zine page on my art blog that i am dedicated to updating as i find more resources! (not accessible through tumblr mobile app, mobile friendly, just open the link in a browser)
go make some zines!!!

hmmm... how're we feeling about this image for my pinned post?
too simple?? too busy?? i kinda wanna add text of some sort, but maybe i'll do a smaller image right below it bc i feel like adding text might make it a little too busy/crowded. and pls let me know if the clouds look odd beside the dragon bc i tried to find some in a similar art style, but! i wanna know if they don't quite match after all.
i'm trying to keep it simple and greyscale bc that's kinda the aesthetic i went with this time around, and i wanted to show a different muse than k.aigaku since he's my banner already. yubari was the easiest bc i already had a dragon image i could use uvu but also!! he deserves a bit of spotlight <3 but yeah!! any feedback is appreciated bc as always, i'm just winging it asdf
