Hiya, I’m Ari!

Hey there, welcome to my blog!

I usually don’t upload much here, but I’ll try my best!

Anywho, the posts I’ll usually make are about my indie animated series, Respiritgina.

What is Respiritgina?

Respiritgina is an independant animated series following the journey of Casey Walker, a 16 year-old human transported to the fantasy world of Respiritgina along with his father. After accidentally releasing an ancient evil creature known as Necroir, Casey must journey through this unfamiliar world to defeat the evil once and for all. 

So far, there is a whole first season out with the season 2 trailer on the way!

(The first 5 are shorter and do not have voice acting, however the ones after do!)

As of 7/29/2024 my commissions are OPEN!

Cashapp only!

DM me for more details

FAQ:

Q: What ages is Respiritgina for?

A: It's for people of all ages, although some episodes will have more serious content than the others.

Q: What do you use to animate?

A: I use Flipaclip to animate, Ibis Paint X to draw, and Capcut to edit.

Q: How long have you been drawing/animating?

A: I’ve been drawing for 10 years, and animating for about 5 years!

That should be it! Enjoy!

I go through ALL the effort to create formatting I like just for Amazon to be like "nah, we're changing that."

Anyway, I actually finished the book and I'll explain what choices I made to screw with AI when Amazon is done with their review.

I am also grateful to Zoe for reminding me how actually good and fun fantasy can be. In the world forever polluted by Game of Thrones and other grim-dark fantasy crap, I needed something as delightful and simple as Zoe's adventures. We need more of that kind of fantasy in media.

i actually really appreciate the generic-ness of split fiction's in-universe stories. like sure, they're complete genre cliches (and we can talk about the disdain for genre stories another time for sure), really milquetoast fantasy and sci-fi fare.

but then split fiction says, that's still better than anything rader's machine could ever come up with, and the most generic, cliche stories written by human beings are still worth saving from the maw of ai. because--well, they're written by human beings, with bits of those human lives seeping in.

mio's standard-fare cyberpunk future city with ninjas has a bunch of cars and motorbikes in it because her dad was a mechanic. it has beautiful screens and buildings and graffiti and also a game of hopscotch drawn in chalk on the ground because it comes from a childhood growing up in the city. her video-game-ass invade-the-secret-lab-after-everyone-else-gets-blown-up plot comes from her desire (and inability) to save her father.

zoe's extremely conflict-averse stories (one that's almost literally "saving stray cats in the alps") come from her desire to return to her childhood with her sister, to build gentler, happier endings for someone who didn't get one. the shapeshifting comes from a love of animals. the silly farting pigs come from a kid's imagination (and coping mechanism). and i mean, i don't care how cliche you think it is, dragons are just objectively cool always.

neither zoe nor mio are, perhaps, Good Writers or Talented Writers. but they are sincere writers, and that's worth everything.
