November (2025) Monthly Update
It’s hard to believe that it’s already November, and practically the last month in the 20s. So what now? There’s actually quite a bit to go over within here and lets not waist some time.
Art Update
Last month’s theme was focus on spooky and horror as I like to try to do. This month’s theme is planning to a combination of stuff to push myself a little more while also a little celebration of the past, or at least one more hoorah. It’s exciting as there’s one piece that feels like acknowledging where my passion for creating characters came from, and the other is a gown heavily in the design department. However, those are the planned art pieces. On top of Zine-work and convention art. Which leads me to-
Crunch is Upon us!
Looking at everything that I both want and need, it seems like there’s quite a few things needed to get done and not as much time as I would have liked. Somethings.. might get dropped but it’ll be worth it for sure. I’ll try to share what those are when we get closer to finishing some of the elements. Basically, a lot of those will be merch and with something coming up, well, those will take focus.
A drop of Nightshade going forward
With all the talks about AI and the seeming advancements into the end, I’ve decided to test out a piece of software that is used not only to protect but to actively hurt some of these generative engines. After a test, the PC is perfectly fine, did not run into any major issues like the last time I tried to use Glaze without the Web version? What this means is that going forward, all art pieces are going to have an additional Nightshade element. For the Meta Platforms, I am no longer doing the crop HOWEVER I will be instead doing the maximum intensity to keep the work protected.
These will NOT affect Hi-Res versions for Monthly Supporters
Shop Update
With the heavy prep for the upcoming convention, a lot of merch is coming out and hoping to prep the stores soon. INPRNT has all the recent art pieces* from OCT and a lot of work is still needed to complete everything that I want to have ready. But there’s also some good news!
ACGGOODS STORE IS UP!
Getting a code was easier than I thought, and even better is that ACGGoods is ran by the same people that do my merch like charms. What ACGGoods is, it’s a “Print-On Demand” shop located I believe in an asian country. There are some things that are not provided by the shop but if there’s something that I don’t have on offer, this is a great way to get anything that the main store does not have in stock OR shipping-related bullshit.

The Final Convention: Kinshoku Con!
I ended up getting lucky and got into my last convention of the year but also the furthest I’ve gone for a convention! It’s a first-year, and one close to the Canadian Boarder. So I’m really hoping it not only goes well, but that it also to well… see just how… damaged international relationships have become.
KinshokuCon | November 14th-16th | 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM |
The clock turns 30
Well, it’s actually here. I never thought I would really get to this point but I’m about to hit 30 years old, about to hit the wizard level. With so much that has happened and changed. I tried to make this year a celebration of both what has come before and what awaits in the decades to possibly come. I’m trying to make it as great as I can, I’ll try my best to achieve it for sure. But below is what it pertains to you guys.
Commission Sale
The Shop Sale is done but in it’s place is a Commission Sale! To celebrate this milestone, I’ll be doing a 15% off all commissions. This also stacks with Monthly Supporters perks. If you’re interested in something in my style, or even a YCH, check out places like VGen.
Digital Birthday Party
Since I have a LOT of friends around the world, I’ve decided to set up a little digital birthday party before my actual birthday (since it falls on Thanksgiving this year). It’ll be on November 23th @ 5pmET!
It’s mostly hanging out, playing some Jackbox Games, opening any gifts that come my way.
Streaming and Videos update
Streams have been going very well! With the emergence of the Tavern Multiplayer Nights, it’s allowed for a multitude of new options for streams. These have been great since the majority of the streams have been Art Streams. Not a bad thing but I’m it just makes me a bit more happy.
🌟Monthly Support Goal: Hollow Knight LP🌟
I’m going to keep trying as I think it’s a good idea. I’m going to set a goal for how many monthly supporters and once achieved, I’ll carve out time for it. In this case, I’ll be carving time out for Hollow Knight, a critically acclaimed game, as LP streams. The goal is 15 Monthly Supporters and even $1 supporters count towards to this goal.
Twitch Discount!
Twitch is trying a discount promo so I’ll try to toggle these on when I go live. Basically you can get 35% Off 5+ Gift Subs! No code needed, all you need to do is to pop in and send gift subs at a discount!
The Streaming Birthday Bash!
Another little thing attached to the 30th celebration is a stream to also celebrate! On November 28th, It’ll be going thru several games and talk with chat! It’ll be going thru a few games that I grew up with and helped shape me.
SHHHOOORRRTTTSSSSS!!!!
Ok, where are za SHORTS?! Long story short, everytime I would think I can work on shorts, there would be some kind of other work that would need to be done or some event that took precedence. This. MONTH! I am hoping to get back to releasing shorts at a regular basis! It sucks because I have the ideas and the footage, just need time and better carving out that time. Some things I’m very proud of tho.
I think I also got a schedule going. Instead of doing it every… single… day… I’ll be posting one on Monday, Thursday and Saturday at 5pmET. I think that’ll help with me not burning out too fast XD
Conclusion
There is a lot happening and a lot changing. This month is already looking like it’s going to shake things up greatly but with what’s here, I’m really excited for the future! And hope you all join me for this celebration into the 30th year of life
