The coolest bit of lore I can share is that Max Mittelman commissioned the Red XIII artwork on his autograph posters from @johannatarkela.com as a DIRECT result of seeing two of my commissions from her AAAAAA how amazing. I've included all three AMAZING pieces below.

Red XIII discovers the summon monster Phoenix, and it unleashes its Phoenix Flame in a stunning show of light and color above his head.

Red XIII crouches on a log deep within a blue, bioluminescent forest and reaches out with a claw to touch a mysterious glowing flower on the side of a tree.

Never heard of it before, but your post got me started on it. Interesting and sad and compelling thus far. Not sure if I'm enjoying it or just getting sad, but it's interesting for sure.

You deserve it! I picked up the Arches album last week and just grabbed YONDER as well. Your work on Arches really heightened the story's impact and made it something that I felt deep down in my soul. "When we had everything" and "monochrome" are on infinite repeat in my head. Thanks for your work!

Very nice! Have you ever done any voice work on any Skyrim mods before?

BudgieTober Day 5 - Canyon (feat. Red XIII)

If budgies could howl, this would be it! "Canyon" is a reference to Cosmo Canyon where Red XIII (Nanaki) is from. He's totally got edge lord vibes.

Got a spine injection the other day to help with pain on the left side of my neck due to 2 discs I herniated back in 2017, and haha, who knew that the only thing preventing excruciating pain on the right side of my neck was the semi-excruciating pain on the left side of my neck. Life sure is funny.

Congrats! How does it feel to have *finally* arrived?

Nanaki for the second Procreate attempt. I feel guilty about staying in to draw for a second time, but I get sad if I don’t make things.

I was the only one in my theater laughing at the ending, and I could legit feel how uncomfortable it made everyone else around me. Like, they thought it was funny too, but they were like, "after EVERYTHING, is it ok to laugh...? That guy's laughing, so maybe it's okay...? Ha... ha...?" Great stuff.

I have kind of a hard time recommending it. It's among the heaviest things I've ever read, but weirdly, it was also kind of hope-affirming in the end, and through Howly's writing, Anthemics' music, and Paintfox's artwork, it brought these characters to life in a way that few other VNs have for me.

Spoiler/Content Alert. Arches VN is my current hyperfixation. I was initially bummed that it began like the lost 6th route of Echo VN, but between the music, the artwork, and the writing, it really transcended Echo. The examination of the impact the events had on the characters afterward broke me.
