Thankfully, my support ticket worked and I was able to recover my Discord account after it was disabled for suspicious activity earlier this morning.

I'm really appreciative to have this whole mess in the rearview mirror and would like to thank you all for sticking with me through this. You're all far too kind to me!

Again- just to reiterate- as of this blog post going live, if you recieve a message on Discord from my account, IT IS ACTUALLY FROM ME. I'm currently going through and deleting all the scammer's messages to all those he messaged and will send an apology to each one of you he tried to bring into this mess.

Thanks again folks, and I hope to have new art for you all before the end of the year!

Hey folks, quick update on the Discord situation.

I got numerous comments and PMs here about people being contacted by my hacked account. PLEASE DO NOT INTERACT WITH THEM. Either ignore or block them, since they will likely be trying to hack your account the same way they did with mine.

I submitted a support ticket to Discord to try and recover the account and asked that if it couldn't be recovered to have it deleted on my behalf to protect others from being hacked.

I'll keep you all posted on what happens next. Thanks for being understanding through this mess, I really appreciate it.

Hey folks, hope all has been well.

This morning, I unfortunately ended up on the recieving end of a scam and lost not only my Discord account but almost $400 as well. Looking back on it with hindsight, the signs were obvious, but I failed to see it in the moment.

Please, please, please be cautious out there and if someone contacts you through my discord account, it is not me. I wanted to make this post to try and prevent any other accounts from being compromised or any more lost money.

For the time being, I'll roll without a discord until I figure out how I want to bounce back from this. If you all need anything, please PM me here on Twitter or BlueSky.

...oh yeah. I'm on BlueSky now under BalvoArt. Nothing posted there...

Hey folks, hope all has been well!

I wanted to do a quick update on what I've been working on and what I'm planning for the remainder of 2024!

First off, as I hinted at in my Elfuda-san post, I've been working diligently on a new game project that I'm hoping to release fairly soon! It's another RPG Maker project, and while I was initially hesistant to dive back into the engine after dismissing it in my last blog post, I felt it calling me back (maybe it's stockholm syndrome lol) and before I knew it, the project was taking form. The pre-production and main character portraits are all finished, it's now mostly just working in the engine and plugging everything together.

I'm not close enough to being finished to give an accurate release date estimate,...

Hey folks, hope all has been well!

I know it's been a hot minute since I posted anything or gave any updates on what's been going on content-wise, so I figured I'd finally break the silence and do a bit of housekeeping.

First order of business, the Game Project I teased early last year is cancelled / shelved indefinitely. After finishing my second Daemon Glutton game, I immediately wanted to jump into a third game project that would act as a magnum opus for my time across many RPG Maker programs, but I struggled to find a proper direction to take it in and ended up going through almost half a dozen protoypes before deciding to ultimately move away from the engine entirely. I was actually working on a new project up until this past week before deciding enough was...

Hey folks, hope all is going well.

I just wanted to announce that I'm closing down my Patreon.

I'm issuing refunds for any recent pledges from December till now, but if you'd like a lifetime amount refund, just message me on Patreon and I'll get that to you as soon as I can.

To be clear here, this is NOT the end of my content creation online. I just won't be posting consistently enough any more to me to consider a Patreon necessary or fair.

I'm going to be on hiatus a little longer to get some irl stuff sorted for the new year, but I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not retiring from content creation, just closing down my Patreon.

Sorry for any confusion with this, and here's to a great 2023.

Hello everyone, hope all is well!

I mentioned this on my Patreon but I wanted to mention it here as well, but I'll be taking a break from posting for the month of December.

I'm very happy (and surprised) that I've been able to keep my constistant weekly post schedule on all my platforms since May. It's been a very transitional year for me after I decided to go back to school and finish my art degree as well as moving out into my own place, so being able to keep posting despite all of that has been nothing short of a miracle and I'm thankful to whatever deity made that happen for me. So with the end of the year approaching, I've decided to take a bit of a break to organize my content pipeline for next year and relax a bit.

That being said, I'll still...

I think I tried doing a Patreon like two years ago but I can't really remember, but anyways, I made a Patreon! Wowee-zowee!

My goal with this was to make this as accessible as possible, since money can be tight for a lot of folks at the moment, so there's only one tier; the "All for One" tier.

For only $1, you get full access to my Patreon and all its content. That includes full resolution downloads for my art going forward, early access to upcoming art and (eventually) access to participate in creation polls.

All my content will never be locked behind a paywall as a whole, so this feels like a nice way to reward those who want to support me directly without keeping content from everyone else.

If you're interested, here's the...

Hey everyone, hope all is going well!

Here's a quick update to the Daemon Glutton game I released last month.
I also got around to porting the game to Mac, so hopefully more people can check it out.
Enjoy!

Hey folks, it's been awhile since I've done one of these blog posts but I figured this would be a good place for me to do some open communication on my plans going forward instead of muddying up the descriptions of new content I upload.

First off, thank you very much for all the favorites and watches. I know I haven't been the most consistent uploader on this site while I've been here, but your support means the world to me. I still need to do some catching up on thanking each person for the follows, but that'll probably take some more time. Seriously though, thank you again.

I plan on making a Kofi or Patreon soon to try and push myself into doing this kind of art as close to full-time as possible. I've been really struggling with existential dread and self worth...
