Mellifera is one of the main characters in That Bitch Stabbed Me. She joined a cult to resurrect an ancient god and hired Noelle and Lucia to help her with that cause. She also has a special relationship with Stranger, as she is the only person that knows what Stranger's real name is #art #TBSM #OC

Breaking news: going forward my vampire yuri comic That Bitch Stabbed Me will instead be a vampire yuri ✨visual novel✨. why? it's a long-form story and making it as a VN will take me less time than drawing it as a comic. 🗡️ read more here: www.patreon.com/Maarika/posts/that-bitch-me-165568947

normally i just draw all my background art but for Take My Hand i wanted to try something different so i used a mix of drawings as well as my own photography. the wood texture? from my home. that stone path? i've walked on it. that grass? i've touched it. 😎 AI could never #art

The updated torrent with all of the Toxic Yuri VN Jam 2 submissions, now including (hopefully) all of the externally hosted ones, is ready~ >>> kyou.systems/tower/posts/... <<< #ToxicYuriVNJam #ToxicYuriVnJam2 #TYVNJ #TYVNJ2

i've been looking for music to use for my VN and so many artists will say "no AI was used!" but still using AI generated images and descriptions and i cannot emphasize how much this erodes any trust that the music itself is not genAI even if it is human made!!! like what are you doing

Someone asked me what will happen with the currently patrons-only Chapter 3 of TBSM. The answer is that it will be released for everyone to read once I've made some tangible progress with the VN version. When will that be? Don't know yet!

Alright I'm going to have to adapt the last 10 or so pages of the TBSM comic for the VN. This seems easy at first because I already have the script and images but actually no. The pacing and flow in a comic is way different than it would be in a VN....

beaming these women into your eyeballs again!!! LOOK AT THEM 👁️

While the SCREEN Act failed in the committee, KOSA did move forward. Contact your senators immediately demanding it be opposed, and keep the pressure up until it comes to a vote in the Senate

The Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...

I started reading Umineko so here's Beatrice #art #umineko

How comics actually work: some pages take an hour and some pages take eight hours and they're not always the ones you'd think. There are sometimes entire weeks taken up by research that MUST be completed before you can progress. And you also must account for several days lost to the Horrors

more OC lore: Lucrezia is loosely inspired by Lucrezia Borgia, a historical Italian noblewoman who was rumored to poison people for political gain. The character design was inspired by this portrait by Dosso Dossi (thought to be depicting Lucrezia) and on 17th century French fashion.

Lucrezia (left in the pic) has been married three times! Her latest marriage ended when her husband died tragically and people assumed she somehow poisoned him, even though she was not even there. 😔Slander! Her following marriage....well!! You have to read my VN to find out.

Does your original character have any past relationships? What are the reasons they broke up/not together anymore? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

Misericorde Vol. 2 more than lives up to its predecessor. Disorienting, darker, more sacrilegious; explores ideas and themes I haven’t come across in videogames anywhere else. It remains a visual novel through and through, but very compelling to read. The music is OUTSTANDING. Massive recommendation

Misericorde Volume 1 by @xeecee.bsky.social Unnaturally deft character writing. Great art helps, but to sketch people so fully the reader's able to guess how they'll respond to certain acts is stuff writers dream of. The dyad of the effective mystery VN: Whodunnit + What is Fundamentally Happening

HEKKI GRACE, the Fixer plushie campaign has been fully funded with ✨ 9 days ✨ left!! So excited to get our green sister in your hands. 💚 Get her before the campaign ends and she goes to the Other Side!! She may not be able to come back to us!! www.makeship.com/products/fix...

Adding chapter select and gallery to the next update of Take My Hand. Didn't have time to put those features in for launch but there will be a little update in the near future.

This is legit peak btw, unironically had my eyes glued to the screen and screaming into my homie's dms for the entire duration Extremely good presentation with so much attention to detail that helps to hammer home even more the sharp and excellently-paced writing
