It’s my birthday today!! 🎉🎉 Taking a day or two to celebrate and rest up, but I wanted to thank all of you for being here and supporting everything I do 🥹❤️

Thank you to everyone with your patience with me so far 😭 I know I’ve been a fair bit behind, and I wish I could explain the absolute trainwreck of events that have been happening one after the other both personally and to my loved ones, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that things will look up soon ❤️

doing a small summer sale over on my vgen for illustration and sketch tiers! 🌞 it's 20% off for the rest of august! vgen.co/orirising

Under Heaven or Hell by @moonlustgames.bsky.social You wake up in Hell with no memory of what happened. Will you escape with your soul intact, or will your path become forever tied to those who linger within the flames? moonlustgames.itch.io/underheaveno...

It’s #PortfolioDay ?! Hi everyone! I’m Michael, an LGBT+ artist with a huge passion for gothic fantasy, TTRPGs, and original characters. I also dabble in fanwork on occasion! I’m currently looking for work as a character designer, concept or cover artist, or illustrator. I’d love to help! 🦇💫

caught up to deltarune right before a long road trip so now i’m stuck sitting here with my many many many thoughts and agonies

i've started keeping an emotional support starwalker on my canvas while i'm working and it unironically works so well for morale and i cannot explain why

I hate making posts like this but recent personal events have honestly put my finances into a very dire place - I have a huge backlog at the moment that I’m actively working on but if you would be willing to bear the wait, absolutely ANYTHING would help (1/?) vgen.co/orirising ko-fi.com/orirising

Looking for additional volunteers for my gothic romance BL VN project! 🦇 In particular, we’re looking for additional scene and script writers to help as we move forward into scriptwriting - please reach out to me here if you’re interested, I’d be happy to provide more details! #indiedev #vndev

It’s here. 🔥 The demo of Episode 1 is out now on itch.io! ✨ Romance, danger, and choices await.❤️‍🔥 Will you seek love in the dark… or lose yourself to it? moonlustgames.itch.io/underheaveno... #OtomeDev #OtomeJam #JoseiJam #VisualNovel

Got back this wonderful Pride piece today!! It came out so pretty, I love it so much! Check out the artist on VGen here: vgen.co/orirising #EltriArt

Basically their first meeting in the Mermay AU [ #mermay #art #ocart #ocsky ]

Happy pride month!!! I'm a nonbinary lesbian artist, and since it's the first of the month, here's a reminder you can support me on Ko-Fi for as little as $2 a month I also have personal art sponsors so YOU can force me to draw my gay OCs! ✨🏬

Think of it this way, Bluesky is the opposite of Twitter Twitter: resharing small posts, hashtags, @ ing , links, resharing/posting/liking/replying too much = shadow ban Bluesky: resharing small posts, hashtags, @ ing , links, resharing/posting/liking/replying too much = NO shadow ban

Remember y’all, reskeeting art doesn’t shadow ban you here; doesn’t matter how small or big you are even if you shared 10 arts in one sitting 👍 Bluesky is NOT Twitter

First of two YCHs is now live!! 🌈 Wanted to lean a bit more aesthetic - taking three slots for $60 each! ❤️DM me or apply over on my VGen here for more details! vgen.co/orirising/se... #ych #opencommissions #prideych #vgen #art

Laptop repairs AND my tablet wires fraying oh i am experiencing the worst possible scenario as a digital artist

Well I started a small server for this project!! I’m currently in dire need of background and CG artists, as well as programmers (I’m looking through my current DMs with other/additional roles) - if you’re interested, let me know! ❤️🦇

And if I said I was recruiting for a M/M gothic villain/villain romance visual novel who would be interested 👀❤️ (Just a demo for now, but I’m looking around to fill roles!)
