How are we all? I just was excited to share a little thing. In my previous life (a big 1.5 years ago) I worked in animation as a character artist and I spent about six years at Powerhouse. During that time I was on both Castlevania and Castlevania: Nocturne series, and my Nocturne artbook arrived today! It's a really nice reminder of all the hard work we did on the show and I had a lot of fun looking back through it and remembering all the good times we had as a team. I made a ton of great friends on that show.

God that was a pretty show. If you're curious the artbook has been out for a month or two.

And now some wips of the next part of the Halsin and Clover comic! Hopefully without being too spoilery :) I apologize for the silence the past couple weeks. Hard at work on this one.

And with that I leave you! I go make tea and get back to work. The Artemis launch reminded me that there's a 24-hour livestream of the International Space Station on youtube and it's been nice to have in the background, especially when you get to hear the crew chatter occasionally. Have a lovely evening everyone!

I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a part of such a beautiful project, truly in the work you’ve done; you should be proud. ~~Castlevania mentioned, I begin growling and biting the bars of my enclosure.~~

Castlevania really is/was such a beautiful show! I had no idea that you had worked on it when I started following your bsky but as soon as you mentioned it, your influence on the art style was SO clear. Also, that very last sketch of Clover made me gasp out loud. I understand Halsin's cute aggression.

I can’t believe I get to see your artwork each month after falling so deeply in love with Castlevania, the art and its entirety. I feel blessed each time your notifications grace my phone. Forever grateful you share with us💖 Thank you for all your hard work!!!💖

This made me smile, thank you so much Nyxie ♥️ I used to imagine how nice it would be to just draw my boys all day and have that work out somehow. Never thought in a million years it would. I'm glad I get to share it with you :) And I feel you, I don't know if you played the games first or saw the show, but I remember falling in love during the first episode. It was wild to see something that pulled at my lizard brain in a way very few things had. There's a lot of love in that show so I'm really happy you enjoyed it too.

I'm so happy you liked the show, thank you!! Although I can't take credit for any style influence lol. Style was largely developed by Sam (our director), Katie Silva (our character art lead aka my lead), and Adam (our associate director) which we all followed closely. That's not to say that my personal style wasn't a good fit because you're not the first person to point out similarities :) I think it helped that I really like drawing characters who are pretty tall and have rather small heads to get that elegant vampire look. In my early days Katie very helpfully told me to think of our characters in EVA proportions. I'm so glad you're liking the wips too ♥️ He's just.. trying so hard. It's tough when your brain is in fight-or-flight mode when someone is just trying to show you some care.

Thank you!! It was really intimidating at first! Honestly when I was asked if I'd like to take an art test for a position I was immediately thinking of ways to say no without looking ungrateful or wasting their time. Zero faith in myself to handle the pressure lol. But my friends talked me down and I think I knew all along that I was going to try anyway. But the character design team was absolutely wonderful, I learned so much and we still hang out all the time. Truly lucky to have had such a nice experience in animation.

Fell in love with how you drew Vampire Hunter D and now I'm here almost 24/7 for clover honey and castlevania! 💙💙🥰🥰

I never played the games, fully just the show💖 but then it got better! You drew the most emotional, beautiful, and raw scenes of Halsin and Clover. And I fell in love all over again! Halsin has not left me since 💖 I’ve never seen someone be able to draw someone’s character and personality so perfectly without even needing words. I played BG3 partially bc of you. I have so many things I love because of you💖 I fear I don’t have the proper words, but I truly appreciate you and I’m so glad there are so many other people who seem to agree with me

tendermiasma

Oh thank you!! I have more thoughts about D as always, he'll be back :)

tendermiasma

Thank you so much! It was so amazing to work on.

You’re so effing cool!! Love this so much and all the hard work you guys put into the shows!! Truly one of my favorite animations ever, what an incredible achievement <33

tendermiasma

That's such high praise, thank you!! I'm immensely proud of what we did and I'm thrilled you enjoyed it 💕
