R.I.P. my Discord account. (2018-2026)
I have to make a new Discord account with my backup email, like how I got a new Newgrounds account just in case, and now I am so lonely. Please add me and let me come back to every server I used to be in.

Caligoo is a Halflin that is less infected by a shadow demon. He consumes darkness and gains energy from it. The other half of his mask all remains a mystery.

Caligoo stands here feeling very subconscious while being surrounded by dark, inky tentacles.

Who would Kageki have thought that these worms can be very friendly.

Meet Biscotto!
He is Eonvale's greatest chef. He runs his own restaurant, where they serve the finest dishes and desserts in town. Sometimes he lets his workers do their own cooking whenever he goes out with Kageki.

Kageki sees a full moon in the sky and thinks about if the full moon will grant him a wish. He then performs a magical prayer, and lots of sparkling lights surround him, giving him a lot of willpower.

The title text read 'Dark Dweller Kageki - Wishing on a Full Moon'.

Kageki has been the mascot of my account for a couple of years, and now I've been working on my comic series for a while. He will always be at the bottom of my heart. He will always be here, surviving the night and saving his kingdom for eternity.

Artwork of Valor and Kageki in the crystal caves.

Valor on the left is holding his pickaxe on his right hand, and on his left hand, he grabbed a colorful diamond. Kageki on the right is pointing up his wand and commanded his magic to light up his way. The background is a crystal cavern with shiny crystals on the ground, and there was a lake behind it.

The title text read 'Dark Dweller Kageki - Dark Dweller Deeds'.

Panel 1: Yvan and Kageki sit on a hill looking at the night sky. The speech bubble reads, "Man, this is better than staring at the sun."
Panel 2: Yvan asks Kageki about why he spends all night. The speech bubble reads, "So, Kageki, why do you most likely spend the night a lot?".
Panel 3: Kageki explains why he does that. The speech bubble reads "Well, you see, as I'm a dark dweller, I spend the night most often.".
Panel 4: Kageki continues about why he should be around at night. The speech bubble reads, "I could have gone to sleep like everyone else. But with my will, I have a bit of energy.".
Panel 5: Yvan looks very speechless and quite amazed by what he heard. The speech bubble reads. "The way you told me that, I would have thought you were less nocturnal.".

What I was doing before the direct begins.

A screenshot from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Season 1 Episode 27 titled 'Boogey-Mania' and it shows a scene where Scratch and Grounder head into Dr. Robotnik's fortress, and Robotnik have told them snooping as usual. The closed captioning says "-Snooping, as usual, I see." On the right, there's somewhat a RetroCrush screenbug because I was watching this through that said site.

In the meantime, I’m going to be posting some short comics from my series Dark Dweller Kageki, so hopefully I'll just save my time and let you get to know my characters more.

#Kageki #DarkDwellerKageki #comic #indiecomic #shortcomic

The text above read 'Dark Dweller Kageki - Edge of a Lifetime'.

Panel 1: Kageki is standing on the cliffs of Umbra Meadow. His forest home.
Panel 2: Kageki is looking at the view of Eonvale.
Panel 3: Kageki felt quite embarrassed and thought about why he does this. The speech bubble reads, 'Oh, how I always love to enjoy the view of Eonvale far away from my home.'.
Panel 4: Kageki scratches his head and continues his thought. The speech bubble reads, 'I would believe there's no danger in sight around this town.'.
Panel 5: Kageki finished complaining about it. The speech bubble reads, 'I know things are going to be just fine for the civilians. I rather hope so.'.

After a whole month of exploring the crystal caves, Valor's crystal crisis has finally been completed.

I want to thank you all for attacking me on this year's Art Fight.
That was a lot of fun, but hopefully we'll meet again next year.

#ArtFight2025 #TeamFossils #TeamCrystals #Valor

We see Valor standing on a big stone, grabbing a green emerald-like gem. They were crystals, rubies, and sapphires placed around the crystal caves. There were slopes on the ground and on the ceiling, and a big rock on the right. There was also a lake right by the outer section. The text above read, "This has been Art Fight 2025! See you next year!"

In addition to that, I simply enjoy because of the characters, music, writing, and see how this inspires a lot of indie creators alike. I can see why this is a rather special.
Someday soon, I'll take my deep breaths and get into this magnum opus I've been seeing over the past years.
