We finally reach the first sign of intelligent life! Although robots who drink liquor with no stomachs is concerning.
I did get lost here a little bit, but I didn’t just want to default to a guide and was genuinely exploring the experience. So I apologize if sniffing around causes some hair-pulling.
As 2023 starts to roll around, I’ve done lots of self-reflection on myself. A lot of it has to do at a milestone point of my life, the winter of 2016. A lot of good and bad things happened that year; and while there was that swirling torrent of negative things that were going on, there were a few bright lights that made me look ahead and see something beyond that.
Mostly I looked at how my life could’ve gone different, and actually did have a ton of regrets with a lot of things. But, I found myself still coming back and thinking about those few positives that happened in that season.
Why am I mentioning this seven years later?
I think that’s exactly it; just time passing by, and still trying to sort out where I want to go in the future. And then you look back at happened, remember some things and wonder what’s going to happen to all of that. Moreso, what’s happening to all the things in my head that I don’t share with people.
To just preface, I don’t go around and say “I’m going to make this for people online to see!” I do keep quite a lot of things to myself, either for my own enjoyment or to share in person. But when 7+ years go by and you’ve not shared these things with a single soul, I do step back and wonder if there’s any value of those experiences to put in the public space. A lot of the time they do get censored and filtered to leave the interesting bits, protect privacy, etc.
I think that cycle does have to do with me aging and reflecting, for sure. Maybe that’s musings for another day; but today, I’m here to actually share something from that databank of memories.
Your late Christmas 2022 present is what my space was, several tunes and some munchies from the period.

Not a fan of the Zurk parts, had a small rough edit because I kept failing several times. Why? Left Alt and Shift brings up Windows functions; so I had to remap the “Meow” key to something else. Succeeded on the 2nd try afterwards.
I would’ve put this out earlier, but I’m behind on actually getting content queued with IRL things. But I got some pretty nifty presents, and needed to get it warmed up with a modern game. So here we are.
When’s the last time I did a proper vlog? 2017 or so; this update was a long time coming. Looking forward to get some new content out this point on.
I tried a different method for filming this time using my iPhone, and found that it “blues” out my glasses with the reflection. Sorry about that, didn’t pick it up till I sat down for editing.
On December 8, 2021, ClientsFromHell.net announced that they’ll close their doors due to a lack of traffic. As quoted:
Dear CFH readers,
It’s been a long ride since our first post back in 2009. We admit we’re not getting the audience we used to, but we’re grateful you’ve been with us this far and we’re not done yet! We’re moving to NotAlwaysRight.com so that we’ll be able to continue sharing new and classic stories for more years to come. While CFH won’t look the same anymore, we hope you’ll give our new home a chance.
See you there!

While this may be sad to some, there were some users who had issues with their site; I being one of them. It comes down to one cardinal sin:
Heavy editing and rewriting of the submissions to match their vision.

I’d say this is one of the first moments I started doing full eyes on figures again, so that’s a milestone. This is half-adoptable Ki’voosh, which is a bug girl from a few of my writing settings.
If you’re wondering about the left field choice of music, Ki’voosh’s outfit was based off of this video; hence the nod-off to it: 【晚香玉】- Ma Baker (full dance video)

Video art process for Lunary Empyrea is finally out!
I really love featuring this redhead OC of mine, usually in writing pieces. It’s not often I do artwork featuring her, maybe that’ll change as time goes on.
I had a lot of video errors when capturing the footage, including a lot of unwanted notifications and the software cutting out later in the process; so some of the overall progression is lost, and there’s a privacy bar on the right. Apologies!

So recently I’ve been in a mood with my art, and usually that does result in me coming up with genuine stuff that I’m feeling. This was the result of some Gradius music, upcoming Valentine’s day and some IRL experience when dealing with people where I live.
This is that recurring redhead character in some stuff I write, although I don’t draw her often. I decided with all of that going on to draw her in my new style, and push it a little further this time.
I suppose you can also call it a continuation of a piece I did when the pandemic was in full swing, but yeah, there you go.
Outfit credit is the acclaimed Azure Empyrea from Honkai Impact.
Personal tip that didn’t let us eliminate all enemies; enemies do survive upon being hurled. Apparently a kobold survived and jumped into the portal.
Otherwise this was actually a little hilarious scenario, although tedious.

Finally am getting around to getting you the art process video for my last holiday maidens piece! I know it’s been quite awhile since Christina and I worked on something together, so here’s this to enjoy in lieu of that. Happy holidays!
