WIP: Many things to work on!
Hello! Weekly WIP, starting a new one - again! Well, two, actually.I already mentioned briefly the GMV idea haunting my mind since Heartache came out, and it didn't stop. So I've been working little by little on it in parallel with something else. And now I have a timeline!You can see the so...
Triple Triad Card
New video!!! It's actually pretty fun making simple projects between the most time consuming ones. A silly one to raise awareness of a VERY GRAVE ISSUE WITH THE GAME: the lack of G'raha Tia Triple Triad cards. Thank you for the instax emote for the inspiration for this. It really was the fir...
WIP: Triple Triad G'raha cards SOON
Hello~ weekly update!Finally a good week when I don't feel sick anymore, work went well enough AND I'm almost done with the new video already! Who could imagine going to the hospital would actually make me get better faster, huh...The animation of that one was actually pretty fast except for...

Eternal Bonds MOBILE! A FFXIV Otome game
Happy April 1st! With the FFXIV Mobile announcement, it only felt logical to make a mobile version of Eternal Bonds as well!Just like last year, it's not really a "prank" the kind you usually see today. The joke is more like that I'm delusional and I'd play the hell out of this i...
WIP, Life Update and new Live Wallpaper
Hello! I'm late...and sick. But I finally started recovering! :')I'm sorry, didn't say anything earlier so this doesn't just become my personal blog without any project updates, but it's been so long since I was able to actually make a patreon video and I'm feeling really...
WIP: Almost ready for launch!
Hello! Weekly WIP update...First of all, I'm sorry about no patreon video in a little while. I was working on the wet shirt tutorial, but while recording for Thancred, I realized following the same method I did it for G'raha didn't work very well. I'm trying to figure out a better, m...
WIP: Excited to share this!
Hello! If last week I was late, now I'm a little early, but I really wanted to share this week's progress, and couldn't wait one more day!Maybe it's because I focused on G'raha and that made me happy, or maybe it's because this actually looks good...though it's G'raha...
WIP: A little late!
Hello! A little late with the weekly post.I wish I had more to show but there was a lot going on this week!! I'm starting to get worried that I might not be able to finish everything I want to do, but as I said, I will try to keep it simple if I have to. This week and the next I will work on the...
Tutorial: Adding new bones to a rig
Hello! Today I made a simple tutorial on how to add new bones to a rig.Sometimes you might need bones for areas you want to move but can't, or maybe you're adding new parts to the rig that you want to control. Or maybe you just don't like certain bones that come with the rig and want to ...

Screenshot Saved: Live wallpaper download!
Hello~Today instead of a regular weekly WIP, I want to share a little downloadable gift! :)This was actually SundaeOwl's idea, requested last week when I posted a preview of the sleeping G'raha animation, to have it as a loop to use as an iPad live background. Thank you very much for asking ...
Screenshot Saved
New video! A quicker and simpler one this time, before I get started on another longer project.This one is my own version of the start of the second cutscene of the "Friends Gathered" quest in Endwalker, because there is no way having G'raha Tia sleeping there like that wasn't meant ...

WIP: New video next week?!
Hello! WIP update for the video I'm almost finished~As I mentioned last week, I wanted it to be a short one...and there's only 2 shots left to animate! :DOne of them is the longest one, and the most important to get right for the idea to work. But I'm pretty confident that I can finish i...

Me playing Mahjong
IT'S DONE! :DI just spent the last 2 months animating to say "I don't know how to play Mahjong". But I will if that means having G'raha Tia talk to me while I do it.Funny thing is, because of this, I actually learned a little more Mahjong than I did when I started, and now I want...
WIP: Even later update...
Hiii! I...skipped last week's WIP update because, well, I failed.Some of you might have noticed that sometimes, when I'm about to finish a video, I do this thing when I get impatient and do nothing but work on the video I have, hoping that instead I will make a "New Video" post in it...
