Yeah, spend 2 hours polishing and lining with pencil and fineliner? No problem. Click two (2) times on a mouse or draw one (1) precise line on a pen display? Subscription for nerve pains confirmed! I have no idea. 😂 #WIP

Photo of a work-in-progress illustration drawn with a fineliner, featuring Aenor the masked cleric at the bottom-left, smiling smugly, while a strange, long-eared, long-faced and very fluffy demon creature called Amu looms behind him, looking unimpressed.

So I can work with a pencil and watercolour no problem, but the moment I merely Pick Up a tablet pen, it's nerve pain time. The universe is telling me to become a traditional artist..😂 Made some breakthroughs with the outline of #ProjectAenor so wanted to celebrate by giving it some new art... :)

Photo of a watercolour pad page. It has two almost-finished watercolour paintings and one still in the early sketching phase. The finished ones feature a chibi doodle of Ambroise, a modern day cleric in his black suit and bowtie listening to the woes of a tiny forest spirit in a pinewood forest,and the second one features Vera, Ambroise's fin-eared boss starind adoringly at a green frog.

The pencil sketch is a simple promotional picture for the story of Aenor, a cleric who has to escape his world's version of Hell with the help of a large, vaguely canine-looking demon called Amu.

Congrats and thanks for the opportunity! I'll fling you my boy Ino, because I got some tiny ideas for his story while on a trip. vuv Ino is a woodcutter who is so angry about what's happening to the forest he calls home that he becomes a cleric. :) He's small but ferocious protecting his home!

A digital sketch of Ino, an elven man with brown skin and green hair, wearing a simple brown-toned outfit of a tunic and a short-sleeved gambeson. He is accompanied by the yet-undesigned mercenary lady he hired to help him.

The two lay on a large bed at an inn. Ino is on his back, arms behind his head while the mercenary lays beside him, on her stomach, leaning to her arms and looking at Ino. Ino looks back at her, looking confused and surprised by something.

A chibi reference for Ino and his tiny pine-tree cat spirit friend whose body is mostly a clump of pine needles but with a head and legs made of wood. Ino has a magic pine tree staff to match his magical friend.

My first sketches for Ino, showing off his face in a less chibi style. He has quite the hook nose and quite the vicious grin on his face.

He is the angry wood cutter after all...

Turns out I can still use one of those water container brushes without my arm dying. First attempt here. A WIP since I forgot my white gel pen home. :U Ambroise having a chat with a spirit. :) Lil' thing probably has a real foul mouth.. #art #OC #OCSky #WIP

A photo of a watercolour painting featuring a chibi of my character, Ambroise, a blond man wearing a black suit and bowtie. He's having a chat with a tiny bird spirit perched on his hand. He stands near a pine tree and the background is of a pine tree forest.

There is no text from the spirit yet but it looks like its chatting up a storm while Ambroise listens in his usual, stoic manner.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· 25d

Oh yes, an encouraging thing to see whenever you get a notification about a new follower. xD Very organic behaviour. Maybe I'll just block and save them the effort... (It's a promo account anyways.) On another note, got some IRL stuff for the next week so minimal internet time!

A screenshot of two labels on someone's account.
They unfollowed 100+ people yesterday and 1000+ in the last month.

Page 69 Soup, accepted... But will Joel actually eat it? Time will tell! Comic Site!

Page 69 of my webcomic, Hex & Seal.

Hex hands over the container of soup as he explains, A soup made with wild herbs and well-wishes!

Joel finally accepts the soup but his voice still quivers with anxiety.
T-thanks, but... Whah?

Hex smiles brightly. I just want to help! He says, Happy people, happy spirits, happy wizard!

Joel tilts his head and leans away slightly in surprise.
Wizard? You?
Joel looks up in realization.
Ohh... So when you say the farm isn't cursed, it's not just naïve optimism.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jul 11

Oh yeah, and here's a blooper of me trying to get that shot. Did you know you can get knocked out while in photo mode? You can get knocked out in photo mode. I just hoped the angy pigeon would scram eventually. 😂

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jul 11

Got a lot of fun ideas for the story of Dair and his best friend, Copsdi (played by Dair's starter Tepig/Emboar during the playthrough). :) And when I say fun, I mean, these two are gonna have a very bad time once I get to actually writing that story.

Drawn headshots of both Copsdi and Dair. They're both high school students and Copsdi looks like an emo kid with a red plaid scarf while Dair looks more like a metalhead with his leather coat.

Copsdi is a first-year student who has no idea what he wants to do in the future while Dair is a third-year student who knows he wants to be a programmer. And so Dair will a supportive buddy who ends up becoming Copsdi's math tutor. Smiley face.

Got Legends Z-A from the library and was able to speed through it in 2 weeks. Now if only they made a physical version with the DLC included and I might get it for myself. 😂 I had a dream with a neat visual of my character, Dair, but since I can't draw ATM, I had to recrate it in-game. :U

Two screenshots of my trainer in Pokemon Legends Z-A. His name is Dair and he has medium-length dark blue hair and wears a black leather coat.
The top one has been edited slightly to make the character's eye bags look less horrible.

Both have the character against a deep blue night sky. In the first shot he smiles brightly while in the second one he's viewed more from behind, looking over his shoulder so his hair hides his eyes.

Bingo update: #ProjectHex Script finished! Again a task that wasn't huge to begin with since I finished most of the script in early 2025. But I finally sat down to clean it up and fill in some "for future me to figure out" plot points! Here's a teaser for someone we'll also meet... someday. :)

Rough sketches for a character named Will, for my webcomic, Hex & Seal.

He's grayed out because he's full of spoilers, but he's and elf who has long, wavy hair tied on a low ponytail with a red ribbon. He also wears a brack button-up with a thin red trim.

He looks like quite the serious young man.

My art and writing bingo card for 2026, now updated with its third bingo square!

Finish the script for Hex & Seal.

It's farther away from the other two squares so it didn't bring me much closer to a bingo...

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jul 7

Page 68 Guess it would be suspicious if a guy you'd met once weeks ago suddenly brought you mystery food to work... Comic Site!

Page 67 of my webcomic, Hex & Seal.

Hex smiles and holds out the container of soup as he says, It won't grow you new fingers, but maybe it'll help!

Joel fidgets with his hands and stares at Hex wide-eyed. Wait, what? Joel says with a stammer.

Hex tilts his head and soon tenses up with realization. Oh- I forgot to ask if you had allergies or medication...

Joel shakes his head. I-I don't have anything like that, but um, Why..? Joel points at the food container still in Hex's hands with uncertainty.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jul 5

Bugger looks like something out of the Moomins to me... just turned uncannily realistic... (No idea who this character is but yes. Moomins. 😂)

A character from Moomins.

Has somewhat similar features to the elephant seal photo of earlier posts, featuring an evenly split hairdo resembling the sea's whiskers, circle-shaped eyes and a small smiling mouth...

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jul 4

End-of-June Bingo card update! I might need to take a break from drawing for July because Holy Moly of arm pains. 8'D But at least I got some writing done. I really don't want to fall behind on comic pages but we'll see. :') ---- Hex & Seal pages drawn: 28/50 100 OC Meme: 55/100

A family tree made of headshots from my 100 OC meme. I features Liminka, a hermit enchanter living in a forest, along with his parents and his half-siblings.

A lot of blonds in this family. Limmi's father is an elf while his mother is a very human-like demon.

Limmi's father raised him lovingly to be evil, while his mother tried to raise Limmi to be decent through physical discipline. In the end the dad won and the mother walked off, eventually having a new family including three kids. It seems she's still a very strict and protective parent to her new kids as two of them are very sweet and submissive while one is a bit of a rebel...

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jul 2

Page 67 How would you react if a guy you've met one (1) time randomly brought you food in a box to work? Like weeks after that first meeting?? Comic Site!

Page 67 of my webcomic, Hex & Seal.

Joel is closing up the toy stall. He snaps closed the corner of the tarp wall to hide away all the products inside.

Hey! Closing up for the day? Hex calls out, causing Joel to flinch in surprise.

Oh-- It's you? Joel says, a hand over his mouth as he hums nervously before his face lights up. Hex, was it? he says as he remembers the name.

Yes! Hex replies, and I have something for you!
Hex pulls a soup container from his magic storage dimension and offers it to Joel.
Joel stammers and raises his hands to chest level as he pulls back, staring at the box in confusion.

And finally, Cain's reaction to his own daydreams! He's not one bit awkward or shy about it either. He knows what he wants and he's happy to tell you all about it...

A digital drawing where chibified Cain dreams of making out with the local farmer, Hex, on a sunset cliffside by the ocean, pinning Hex against the hood of Cain's blue car.

As Cain thinks about this scene, he leans back in his chair, one arm over the backrest, looking straight at the viewer with a confident yet slightly dreamy look.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 30

Daydream pic #3! The third bachelor Hex meets will be Cain, a surgeon who really has it all together! And who is still several chapters away from being introduced... 😔 This is probably the most steamy drawing I've ever made which might say something about both me and Cain, lol. Comic Site!

A digital illustration of two of my comic characters, the main character, Hex, and Cain the surgeon.

A panel from a bigger Valentine’s day illustration where each of the three bachelors got to reveal their daydreams about Hex.

In Cain’s mind, he has taken Hex out to a cliff by the ocean. The sun is setting, and Hex sits on the hood of Cain's car, leaning back against his arms as Cain moves in for a passionate kiss, locking Hex in with his hands and legs between Hex's.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 28

Bingo update: #ProjectBorya figured out! This task meant finishing the story outline as I already knew it would be a kinetic visual novel. And now I know where and how it ends! Yay! This story also is in the category of "mystery romance where the genre spoils the surprise", heh.

Chibi references for three of Project Borya's main characters, the twin paladins, Dira and Borya, and the shy cleric, Edry.

Dira and Borya are tall and sturdy, wearing their brown arming doublets and helmets with a visor that has vertical slits to see through..

Meanwhile Edry has big, white wings and wears robes that feature a lot of pleated white fabric and a hood, his face also covered by a mask with the same vertical slits as the paladins.

My art and writing bingo card for 2026, now updated with its second bingo square!

Figure out Project Borya.

At least it was right next to the first finished task so who knows, maybe I will finish one row!

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 25

... Speaking of the nickname Hor... (I have a character with that nickname too. A part of me wants to make a drawing of a friend of his messing with him by wearing this, but it's teetering too close to NSFW for me to want to actually draw. xDD )

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 25

Page 66 Hmm... What might Hex be up to this time? Comic Site!

Page 66 of my webcomic, Hex & Seal.

The next morning, Hex asked some of the people he often ran into about the shrine.

It's no wonder the spirits were so weak, he thinks, even the oldest locals didn't know about their shrine.
The only ones who knew were the Whispering animals and now me.

The Whispering hare helped Hex find some specific plants, like the purple bell flower with leaves resembling cups.

Hex is then seen putting some soup into plastic containers and stashing them away in his pocket dimension.

But despite their weakness, hopefully we can still make a difference.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 24

Jake, stop looking like you're wearing a trilby while sitting moodily at a park... (It's his ear giving the illusion of his hat having a brim, helppp. xDD Good thing this will be in full colour...)

A work-in-progress panel from my webcomic, Hex & Seal. Jake the mailman sits at a picnic table in a lush park but his elven ears fuse with his cap in such a way that the hat looks like a trilby, making him look like a so-called 'nice guy'.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 24

Haven't been able to sew or paint face-ups in years 'cause of my arm situation and it's so annoying. >:U Here's Jill, the third doll I ever got, wearing a random bought shirt and the first face-up I gave her. xDD (Yes, she still has that face-up. 😂) Also have some ancient photos on DeviantArt...

A heavily edited photo of my ball-jointed doll, Jill, a Dollmore Pado.
She wears a pink shirt with lace and floral patters and a matching pink sunhat. Her hair is blue with white tips and has blue make-up to go with it.

The background looks abstract but it's really just a street view on a rainy night so all the car- and street lights cause all kinds of reflections and glares all over the place.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 21

Was feeling decent enough to do the 3D mock-up for the next scene I need to draw. So here's a lil' sneak peek at it. :) My favourite part is the fountain where I didn't even try to make it look like a fountain. *shot* Also got to repurpose an ancient park bench model I made like 8 years ago. xD

A screenshot from Blender featuring a roughly blocked-out park scene. There's a fountain, sandy walkways, a lot of trees and four picnic tables.

Project Thread: #ProjectBorya Kinetic Visual Novel ❈ The paladin trainee, Borya, has a secret admirer. ❈ His twin sister, Dira, is eager to find out who it is! ❈ But is it the one Borya most hopes for? ❈ Whom does Borya most hope for..?

A promo collage for Project Borya, my kinetic visual novel.

Medieval fantasy + romance, question mark..?

It features three illustrations.

One. The paladins, Borya and Dira, sit in the main hall of a monastery. They are in the second row and the only other person is a cleric at the front row. Dira spots a letter falling down from the second floor railing.

Illustration two. A digital painting of the monastery's main building. It's a large stone structure surrounded by tall, snowy spruce trees. The roof and yard are coated in thick piles of snow.

Illustration three, chibis of Dira and Borya wearing their usual brightly coloured helmets and brown arming doublets. Their faces are hidden by visors, as they always should be.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 18

And here's Joel's reaction to his own thoughts! Unlike Jake, he's very comfortable with his feelings. :) Even if too shy to actually say anything...

A digital drawing where chibified Joel the toy stall clerk dreams of kissing with the local farmer, Hex, on the living room couch as the credits of a romantic movie roll.

The chibified Joel tries to hide a bashful smile as he averts his eyes from the viewer. He doesn't know we can see exactly what he's thinking about... He would be way more embarrassed if he did. For now, he's just enjoying his private thoughts.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 18

Daydream pic #2! The second bachelor Hex met was Joel, the injured artist working at a market stall selling toys and costume jewellery. He's a bit more on the shy side, so in his dream world, Hex would be the one to make the first move. :) Comic Site!

A digital illustration of two of my comic characters, the main character, Hex, and the toy stall clerk, Joel.

A panel from a bigger Valentine’s day illustration where each of the three bachelors got to reveal their daydreams about Hex.

In Joel’s mind, he and Hex are watching a romantic movie from his living room couch. The bookshelves are full of art books, art supplies and comics. The room is only lit by the passionate red light from the movie's credits rolling. Hex has his arm around Joel's shoulder and leans in for a kiss which Joel happily accepts.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 17

Mmm, you managed to catch me on a very bad arm pain day. xDD But I have so many ace beans.. Like Ialo, a messenger for the deities. He's the first male messenger in known memory! And treated like a threat... And also his best friend, Mabella, who is the only messenger who treats him as an equal.

A digital chibi doodle of Ialo, a blond young man with flowy hair and clothes in pink, white and yellow. He has big wings on his back and four small ones on his head.

A chibi doodle of Ialo and Mabella. Mabella has coal black skin, demon horns and bright red hair. Mabella stands hunched, crying after witnessing something horrible while Ialo watches awkwardly from the side.

One of Ialo's rules as the only male messenger was that he is not allowed to touch the girls. Not even when they really could use a hug from a friend...

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 16

Page 65 Being with his pets without the spirit connection is like only seeing them via a muted video call... But finally he's back home. :) Comic Site!

Page 65 of my webcomic, Hex & Seal.

Hex kneels down to greet his pets.
Luck just about climbs onto Hex to lick his face, tail wagging wildly, while Pestilence gently reaches out a paw at his shoulder, tail quivering with excitement.

Hex laughs through the slobber Luck is getting onto his face. Ahaha! I missed you too...

Hex then walks back to the house, lets both Luck and Pestilence in and the three sleep on his bed all cuddled up, Luck laying in Hex's arms under the blanket while Pestilence sleeps on Luck's rump on top of the blanket.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 13

Ok, this is too fun an idea, especially considering how my comic works. xDD Would you turn the tables on the main character... or snag up one of his potential love interests? Wonder if people will pick the same one as he eventually will... :) Not that I'm telling you which one that is!

An image with the text, If this were a visual novel, who would you try to romance first?

A collage of panels from my comic, Hex & Seal, each one introduces one of the four characters you're supposed to pick one to romance!

We have Hex, the redhead farmer and wizard who has a taste for red and white clothes. He's a massive sweetheart who wants to make friends with everyone he meets and teach them to appreciate the nature spirits.
Oh, also trying to solve his grandpa's murder, but shhh. No one needs to know about his secret research...

Secondly, Jake the mailman who is very undead, as is evident by his cloudy green eyes, bright blond wig and replacing his lost eyebrows and eyelashes with black eyeliner. He smiles brightly as he notes how lucky he is to be unable to catch colds.

Thirdly, Joel the toy stall clerk. He has purplish blue skin, white hair and short horns and wears a black vest over a white button-up shirt. He was once an artist but after getting lost on the mountains, he got some really bad frostbites on his right hand, turning all five fingers black and dead.

And lastly, Cain, whom he won't see in the comic until probably a year from now... He's a metalhead with very, very long platinum blond hair and bright blue eyes. He's a very sociable surgeon. He loves parties, music, movies and anything that gets him to relax after a long day at work.

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 13

Bingo update: #ProjectRolfmi figured out! Meaning I now know it will be a Hack and Slash game with visual novel -style storytelling. :) And as a bonus, I also finished the outline for the main story! Now I just gotta make the GDD and heal up my arm so I can start working on a prototype. >:o

A mock-up for the art style of Project Rolfmi.

Two chibis guys, Rolfmi the mercenary and Kven the nobleman, fight against glowing water monsters in a dark cave with creepy arm carvings on the walls.

The characters are drawn with a pixelated brush while the background is softer and more painterly.

My art and writing bingo card for 2026, now updated with its first filled-in square!
To figure out project Rolfmi.

So, I'm, um, blazing throuh this, huh! Totally!

Eiliakins@eiliakins· Jun 11

And here's Jake's reaction to his own thoughts... :)
