2025 So Far: The Creative Recap

Zeijien leaned back on the bench and turned huir eyes to the sky. It glowed a brilliant blue, etched with sunlight-painted clouds. “I don’t understand why I desire to do this sort of thing for humans.”

Eberkerson chuckled. “I don’t believe that. You know, for sure. You are a selfish being, not a benevolent god. And for that, we have much in common.”

~ ~ Zeijien and Eber converse after the detainment, Dimension 10

I am happy to say that I have gotten some things done during the first few months of this year.

The Visuals

“The Decision,” March 2025, Digital

The scene where Kiri decides to row to some mysterious islands in a place she doesn’t yet believe exists. From Sooted Star, Dimension 6.

“After The Detainment,” April 2025, Digital.

Zeijien is hustling indeed… but in a cool-looking sky train station. From Sooted Star, Dimension 10.

Full-resolution versions of these pieces are available for members to download on my Patreon. I also explain some of my thought processes behind them.

The Writings

I have dropped Dimensions (Chapters) 0-11 on the official Sooted Star site.

Alternatively, you can read them on Royal Road.

Upcoming

One of our other Sooted Star MCs, Sage, will soon be getting her own portrait scene! I’ll be posting more in-depth process photos/WIPs in the future on my Patreon and explaining my workflow in more detail. For now, here’s a sketch.
