new year, same problems. So I'm giving myself a goal that in 5 years, I'll be able to wake up and be excited for the day.

happy new year I finish this later

Oh hello, last "Weekly" Progress for 2025 You can read the full write up and my thoughts for the year: pumpkin-spike18.tumblr.com/post/8045010...

Last game of the year! I've finished the game I was working on this month "Again at your doorstep", it was really nice to work with everyone. (9 whole people working along side me on this just wow's me everytime) The game link: rafaanimations.itch.io/again-at-you... #vndev #visualnovel #game

there's 3 days left (pikachu surprised face)

⚖️ Introducing... ⚖️ Depending on our interest check results, we may also produce a smaller staple-bound add-on zine to accompany the main zine, which will feature a collection of less polished pieces inspired by courtroom sketches. (1/2)

so today would've been the day I announce starting jcu arc 2 in january 2026, but I only have 2.5 chapters done instead of four. sooo... not yet. sorry, I'm kinda exhausted

me looking at thumbs for next few pages past!pumpkin, what does this mean what are those arrows for? this is not an animatic, were you drawing an animatic at that time? no seriously what does this mean...

every time I start working on a new chapter and it's all blank panels it's tempted to close csp and do something else but I can't do that...

Also this means I can post my 2025 art summary, because I ended up drawing enough this year to (almost) fill it out! #2025artsummary

Small JCU update for anyone curious: - Arc 2 script is done (chapters 9-21) - 16 chapters are thumbnailed - Chapters 9-10 are finished Yup, we're in double digit chapters now 😌

Hello! Commissions are open until Dec. 20th! vgen.co/PumpkinSpike Special multiple artpiece bundle $200 Illustrations start at $40 Skeb-like sketches $20 and other services!

late night sketching #manga #webcomic rip bro

when you use the blood brushes so often you make a category for it because you're tired of searching through 100s of brushes for it

We're excited to announce that we're publishing @azurextwilight.itch.io's newest horror visual novel "Onigashima" on Steam! If you're a fan of visceral meaty horror and stories set in medieval Japan, check out Onigashima here: store.steampowered.com/app/4101510/...

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

⛰️山海経21: 鯈魚。淡水生の4つ首ニワトリ。分類上は魚類らしい。鯈という字はコイ科の魚を意味するそうなので、大正三色カラーにしました。 🌊Shanhai jing 21: Tiao-yu, the fish chicken with four heads, six legs, and three tails. They live in the river. One of the weirdest creatures from the book imo. #山海経の怪鳥30羽描く #30WeirdAncientBirds

Studying in bed today because it's cold. Hope I dont fall asleep. (It's really tempting...)

Happy birthday, Roach! He didn't know when he was born when Catarina asked so she told him to just pick a date to celebrate. He selected the date he met Catarina because that was the day he felt like life was worth living.

filling up background npcs with my old ocs is surprisingly fun

Doing some studying tonight by reading Araki's guide to making manga. In 2 pages, I've been scolded for trying to climb a mountain with no survival skills. I looked at the copyright page- why is Ernest Hemingway cited several times here...?

JCU Arc 2 update! Chapter 9 initial sketches are done. I'm debating whether to keep doing initial sketches for chapters 10-15, or finish chapter 9 now... #manga #shounen #thumbnails #webcomic

watching pogo players at this park must be hella amusing. You just see this large crowd of 30+ people staring at their phones, not saying a word to each other, but telepathically knowing where the whole group is going.

Thank you @creativemischief.bsky.social for commissioning me! This was a challenging, but ultimately rewarding piece! #ocxcanon #vgencomm #FireEmblem #Alfonse

Recently I explained why I'm more afraid of being late than I am of an alien invasion 🙃

It's my birthday today (11/4) so if you can wishlist my game DESOPE (maybe tell your fellas too) that'd be stupid fire. Unless you have already then that's extra fire Picture not related, except Lucky (it's his birthday too)

Another bad attempt at traditional art... this time it's Ink.

felt kinda wild to drive past a "don't drive while drowsy" sign this morning.

For anyone interested in the drawing process, the speedpaint for Roach's Halloween art is on youtube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=szKF...

I think I'm either halfway or a third of the way through arc 2's script. 😵 I had a lot of grand ideas, but I fear I'm not good enough to tell this story. Ah well. Future Pumpkin problem.
