Final Fantasy VII REMAKE Part 3 - A Role For Genesis?! youtu.be/wMi5qB6u8DM

When the song “Lost Heaven” by L’arc En Ciel pops up in the rotation I just kick back and let my mind drift to the first time I watched Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shambala and those credits hit. Ah… damn. So good.

It has been a WILD 24 hours on the ARAURA website for the soft rollout. Thank you to EVERYONE who has stopped by and extra special thanks to all of you who are buying all of these books and shirts! If you haven’t yet, stop in and grab you something and support our indie epic! arauraofficial.com

What a wild day! That all of you so much for the love we got for #ARAURA today as I soft launched the new site. Excited for what this next month holds! If you haven’t yet, check us out at ArauraOfficial.com and grab some books and shirts from the shop!

Been a pretty rough week, could use some good energy if you have any to spare. I know it’s in short supply these days.

Sup BlueSky? Haven’t been on here in a while.

Flooding in the house is under control, total loss in the basement and some art studio stuff, just another obstacle that I will overcome. We’re okay. Thank those of you who sent kind words today. 🙏

My version of “taking a break” is apparently staying up until 1 am working on new animation every night rather than staying up until 4/5 am every night. 😭

Was at Game Terminal earlier and man that place is heaven (more pics in this thread - some real deep cut shit)

You may ask yourself, “Am I supposed to be this or that?” The answer is - all of it. We are many things, not just a single thing.

I have always loved seeing the drive and desire to create from artists and musicians increase as they get older. It’s so inspiring.

Thank you to everyone for the love you are showing us for the #ARAURA series premiere! A lot of love, hard work and all-nighters went in to producing the 90’s #anime-inspired show. Much more to come! Watch Here —> youtu.be/xF9vk0g7Z5g
