Back when I was once planning a large crossover project focusing on various anime/manga/game characters that I was invested in, I experimented with making fighting game-style color swaps for every character, using the same rules/format as Guilty Gear's color swaps.

It’s been a fun time at NJIT Minicon this year, but as the sun’s rays fade and the Artist’s Alley closes, I must depart and prepare for my next event.

Levoster is here to slay! Big thanks to @dorkadoodlez.bsky.social for the art of Levoster at NJIT Minicon!

And now… Aozora(?)… by @orangiah.bsky.social! Thanks a bunch!

Surprise! I’m at NJIT Minicon for the day!

A pre-convention selfie? This early in the year? Would could this all be leading to?

For this year, I am going to pass on the convention coverages on my personal blog. Every event basically got the same summary, just worded differently, and there’s only so much unique features from event to event.

Currently taking a small post-holiday break to watch Awesome Games Done Quick this week but sometime after I'd like to look into getting a PNGtuber crafted for some future endeavors on the mind.

Looks like it’s Christmas over here, so here’s my Christmas Eve gaming setup to celebrate.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by Festival of Games this weekend! Hope you all enjoyed getting your nerdy holiday shopping done. Check out these two cool OC commissions I got to do for @superjustinbros.bsky.social and @/rtheenderguy!

Eight months. Eleven events. I don't know how I pulled it off, but this ended up becoming one of my most eventful years ever. I promise 2026 will be more organized and spread out the downtime between events, but for now, I bid the local tristate convention scene farewell. Till next time.

It’s been a great day of holiday joy but as the early night draws near, I must depart. Happy Holidays to everyone, and thanks to everyone that brought this event back after two years in hiatus!

The festive vibes are strong this year!

The Festival of Games is back in season!

If anyone's wondering what I've been up to, I've been trapped in holiday prep and binging Kirby Air Riders after the end of AnimeNJ++. Therefore my ability to work on bigger projects has taken a small hit.

The weekend is over, and AnimeNJ++ has officially concluded. Six anime events in one year was certainly a lot to take in, and I have no idea how I was able to muster up the energy to travel out so much this year. I do have one final festive treat to end the year on: the return of Festival of Games.

I was pleasantly surprised by AnimeNJ++ this year, and after several hours of anime and tokusatsu action, I must bail and return to my base back at home.

Heading out one more time this year to our semi-final event for 2025: AnimeNJ++!

Surprise! I'm adding two more events before this year wraps up, starting with a return to a familiar event next week: AnimeNJ++!

Well, looks like that's it for the main event lineup for this year, however, there may be an extra event or two on my schedule for 2025 assuming everything goes as planned.

Well it’s been fun but I gotta dip from DerpyCon for this year. It was a really great time and I’m looking forward to covering the event on my personal blog!

Taurstier by Richard Maurizio! Thanks a bunch! #Derpycon

Saniko by ZotoAndCo! Huge thanks! #DerpyCon

Summer and Renbo, by @vickyisdrawing.bsky.social! Thanks a bunch! #Derpycon

Heading out to DerpyCon for the day! The year may be winding down but there’s still a few more events left to experience, and you know I’m not passing on the opportunity before winter break!

Happy Halloween, everyone. As much as I would like to do something today or have something special to post, I’m in the middle of working on projects and prepping for my next convention tomorrow.

I think throughout next year I'm going to attempt bigger pushes to be more productive with my characters, given that this year was mostly just boosting the roster with new ideas and developing them while working on notes for game streaming.

After a long journey, my return to New York City to attend New York Comic Con is over. But that doesn't mean there aren't any more events left to close out the year. For our next stop, we will be making a return to DerpyCon right after the Halloween season!

Looks like #NYCC2025 has concluded for the day! I’ll be busy compiling my thoughts of the event (alongside AnimeNYC) to post to my blog, alongside getting the current batch of commissions all scanned in over the next few days.

Rizer by Hyperbooster at #NYCC2025! Big thanks!
