I have spent over a year drawing #pokemon in order of their speed tier and have finally drawn all 1340 of them just in time for the World Champions! It was a lot of work and really happy to have actually done such a big project~

Artist, writer, composer, gamedev - Currently working on my thirteenth book... and more! (he/him, late 20s) Check out my comic @Heart_of_Mana ! https://heartofmana.carrd.co/ https://www.chaoscomposer.com
a couple more sheets I put together for Ray and April in anticipation of art fight stuff
Heart of Mana, Spellbook 8 is out now! www.chaoscomposer.com/product/hear... Lots of crazy lore, history, and character backstories in this one! (Another nudge that even if you aren't able to support these physical releases financially, even just reading the comic means the world, so thank you!)
Earlier this week I sent off Heart of Mana Book 8 to the printer! It's a really FUN book and definitely NOT heartbreaking or miserable or deeply tragic ^u^
Happy Free Comic Book day! You can read all nearly 2,000 pages of my webcomic here, and just for you today, it's all free!!!! tapas.io/series/Heart... www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/he... (disclaimer: reading my webcomic is always free)
After a lot of brainstorming I am pleased to share that a new early prototype of my fishing game is now playable: chaoscomposer.itch.io/another-fish...! It is a fishing/tower defense hybrid; catch and upgrade fish to defend the planet from aliens! Small scope for now, but big plans for this project
🎣April... Fools? Instead of a prank or joke this year for the 1st, I gift you all... a game. A Quiet Afternoon Fishing is an idle(ish) game about catching fish and cleaning up a river. And it is available for you to play, for free. #indiedev 🔗 fruitysnacks.itch.io/a-quiet-afte...
When I started Heart of Mana, I had plot points written out for years. I know the final scenes, important dialogue for characters only briefly seen in flashbacks, unmentioned by name- and the overall themes I wanted to convey. One thing I could not plan is the real world (vague minor spoilers)
late happy valentine's day from the main trio of Heart of Mana!
2026 Stream Preview, Games I have never played I want to beat all of these on stream in 2026, we are going to be historians Am like 95% blind on most of these so should be fun. No nostalgia at all so let's find out which ones are actually good (order may vary)
Book 7 has arrived and is now available for those who enjoy physical media www.chaoscomposer.com/product/hear... Great chance to catch up on the comic as well! Lots of very juicy lore and backstory currently happening too!

FOLKS, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER SUPER MEAT BOY HAS BEEN FULLY COMPLETED, ALL 106%, WITHOUT TAKING ANY DEATHS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
outfit sketch everyone gets a wardrobe change to keep things fresh basically every major city, I need to make them better (not a confirmed outfit spoiler or anything, just doodling. giving Mae jewelry that are actually mana crystals emitting light to help her see is nice)
We're happy to announce that the Comix Cleric Kickstarter will be launching Dec. 8th!! If successful, this campaign will help keep us operating while we finish development of a feature-ready version. We're almost there, but a little help goes a long way! 🔗 www.kickstarter.com/projects/pan...
Heart of Mana's seventh book has been formatted and ordered! They'll get here in a couple weeks and they'll be available shortly after!
Won't say no to an excuse to jump on an OCT reminiscence train Guess I'm washed now but was certainly a fun time, led to meeting lots of awesome artists! Also a great way to practice comic storytelling Those days are probably over for me with my other comics, but are still a backbone of sorts
Didn't add my ref sheets but my history with OCTs was pretty dang fun. It's been nearly a decade since I've done this stuff god
A couple months late after the clear, but here's some celebratory art for clearing the Aloalo Island Criterion Savage Dungeon in #FFXIV, alongside @cafcoleo.bsky.social, @aerialblast.bsky.social, and @fshybeans.bsky.social !!! sure we're all fishers but that doesn't mean we can't kick ass sometimes
Oh yeah now that they've shown up in the comic I can share some reference work for Mae's family
Thumbnailed 35 pages of comic work today, very excited Over the next several chapters we get to understand some fundamental truths about the world and also get to show why I think Dust is the best villain I've ever written as she relates to the main trio of Emelia, Ray, and Mae

would have been fun vising the ffxiv fanfest in anaheim, maybe next time! would have been a fun time to meet friends and visit the area but didn't work out this time (also it wouldnt have been worth it without my bestie Mr. Gear @xanagear.com )
Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it authorblues.github.io/lecture-slid...
I'm *definitely* going to get in trouble with my department/university for my "AI Policy" slide deck I put together. I doubled its length tonight adding papers, articles, and other references enumerating reasons why I won't allow for generative AI and why students shouldn't be using it.
Made a short precision/puzzle(ish) platformer for this year's #GMTK2025 Game Jam A good test run for some upcoming stuff! chaoscomposer.itch.io/pig
