Greetings everyone this is the PSA that now you can get the first chapter of my latest comic in PDF form 🎉 more details below 🔽🔽🔽

The comic itself is a fantasy coming-of-age type story that started off as me and a friend just rambling about D&D character backstories. It's now neither D&D nor a backstory and we're having a blast

I post the full thing in advance + sneak peeks and random stuff on Patreon a lot. Also 99% of the new stuff you see on twitter etc (bug guy too) relates to it

Read the first three chapters for free HERE (website) or HERE (webtoon)

Jumping into this Arcana bandwagon

Well I'm glad you ask! I present to you my lil guy Sasha

He's 6ft tall and has a rat familiar (??) that I just call ratte. Don't ask me background details yet I need to remember the plot of the game properly first lmao

wait do you have a sona, king??

Nah, I have OCs I put more or less of myself into but not a direct "me" inspired creature

Your page says commissions closed-- do you open them from time to time or nah?

I don't have any plans to open them anytime soon, closest I have are sketch rewards for Patreon atm

The "commissions closed" sign is up so people don't directly ask whether they're open 😅

Those anons fussing over you potentially not drawing certain content for a bit, are soo.... exhausting as another artist. Like you are a person with interests that can change?

Yeah it doesn't bother me that much but I do think it's not a great way to engage with artists. I understand feeling a little disappointed if an artist you like pivots to content you're not into but then you have two choices: staying for the ride or leaving and moving on 🤷‍♂️

The third option of trying to guilt trip or beg the artist to do a specific content will never land well imo (some of these requests make me Actively draw less of a thing out of annoyance lmfao so it might even backfire)

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW ECSTATIC I AM TO SEE YOUR UNDER GARDEN COMIC ON WEBSITES AVAILABLE TO ME!

I honestly thought it only existed on Patreon, which don't get me wrong, is your decision and you absolutely deserve to be paid for your work. That being said, Patreon is unfortunately not really available where I live atm (as well as most other websites and platforms where one would need to pay) and also I'm poor, so I was just idly wondering, if the comic would ever be uploaded with free access or that there would finally come the time when I would be able to pay and read it.

Until

Lo and behold

I would now be able to read at least some of it and I can't thank you enough 🙏💜

Yeahh no worries 🖤🖤

The plan wasn't to ALWAYS have it behind a paywall, and I do want to share it with a wider audience with time. But when I decided to self-publish/make this my full(er) time project I really did need to establish Patreon as the lifeline and still want to make sure supporters get their money's worth 😔

The way it'll work now is Patreon will always be at least a whole volume ahead (so around 1-2 years' worth of chapters) and I'll try and sync that with earlier chapter releases on webtoon etc, then see how that goes

Oh dude there is DEFINITELY something in the water this year. You know why? I ALSO started replaying the Arcana in the last few weeks!

Asra is 100% baby, and was also my main back in 2018. I do definitely recommend reading Muriel's route if you have the keys to spare, he is such a sweetheart, but if you just wanna reread Asra's route and remember how it ends, gods please liveblog your reaction to it

Yeah I wasn't sure what the vibe was gonna be so I was poking around vaguely to see if it'd be very outrageous to be arcana brainrotted in 2025 lmao. The amount of people who came out saying they also randomly decided to pick it back up took me by surprise for sure but I'm here for it

My current plan is to reread Asra's route, be only slightly insufferable about it, rinse and repeat 🫣

ARE STAEVE AND ASTARION GOING TO BE A CONSTANT FOR JUST A LITTLE LONGER

Sry me and the other anon seem to share the fear of our favorite characters just… not being made by their creators anymore in exchange for content were just not interested in and need some reassuring lol sry if it seems selfish just clarifying for that other user

As long as there's an OC involved you'll see them again (so yes staeve and astarion are still very much a thing in my heart and if inspiration strikes I'll draw them)

I'm not a fanartist by default or someone who feels inspired to draw something just because people want to see it so it's best if you stick around for the vibes rather than for a specific type of content or character

PLEASE post more arcana art guilt-free! You have my complete attention!

It's gonna be the most disgustingly saccharine shit you've seen me pull I can feel it

I'm staring at the install button on Google Play rn tryna decide whether I should go through Asra's route in The Arcana again. And guess whose fault is that? (Not tryna sound mean btw lol)

I swear I'm not trying to shill the game but I won't complain if a horde of people join my delulu so I can put out self-indulgent arcana art guilt-free 👁️👄👁️

Oho! I am so happy to see a fellow Arcana fan out and about! And from a similar time period to me too, when only the original 3 routes existed. Out of curiosity, since then have you played Portia, Muriel, or Lucio's routes, or do you plan to? Especially since they are much quicker to complete with having less chapters. (I could not bring myself to get far into Lucio's route I felt too bad, but I did Muriel's. And it was pretty sweet.)

I'm a single-canon typa person but idk I may look into them out of curiosity 🤔 Muriel is so sweet I can definitely see that

I know you get a lot of art asks, but how do you pick your colors for shading?

Also your stuff is gorgeous btw 🩷

Thank you! 🖤

This is outdated but if you want a more detailed shading technique or whatnot you can check this post out https://www.tumblr.com/velnna/730784859814084608/your-art-is-so-clean-and-nice-could-you-give-some

The style I use these days is a lot simpler (usually at most 3 layers) but the logic remains that I first pick a background, then use it to inform the lighting:

Sometimes it takes some adjusting because layer modes (multiply, glow dodge, etc) affect each other and the final tones you see
