We also hope to do a new introduction post soon, as ours is woefully three years out of date!

We'd like to apologize for radio silence these past few months--our founder had a family emergency and could not do or communicate anything in all this time. Our plans mentioned in our latest newsletter, such as Aradia Beat site and vol.2, and more to do for the archives, are still slotted to […]

well… now we can move on I suppose saffronwave.spiderforest.com #spiderforest #webcomics

A mood. #meme #ocs #moonlightapparition

[OC art: semi-naked lady, skulls and skeletons, blood and possible gore] One of my favorite Celi images. I have a brand when it comes to images like this and it's Mystical Maximalism with a bit 'o Dada Language Takes. Always meant to be open to […] [Original post on sakurajima.moe]

Interestingly, this novella that I don't promote at all, that I put on the Honeyfeed account I don't use at all, has indeed been getting views! ~100 per month. Not much engagement, but I wasn't counting on that.

It's my birthdayyy. All I got is posting this very, very old piece for my comic Ara & Celi, which is still one of my favorites. Ara in her non-angel form, Miyara and Kimberly, the horse. Wait, pony. Wait, what? I only wish I had been faster so I could have […] [Original post on sakurajima.moe]

Bright, peachy summer? Naaah, how about something reserved, somber...even old-school galactic? Did this last year for @aradiacollective 's (free) summer zine last year, appropriately titled "Summer in Aradia!" […] [Original post on sakurajima.moe]

🍂🍂New FaLLEN page is up! 🍁🍁 Chapter 4: Living After Midnight 🌃 🏠🔗 fallen-comic.com 🔗🏠 I know I kinda stopped posting these for a while, but the comic has continued to get updated every Friday. I've just been insanely busy. 😵 #comics #webcomics #animeart #manga

Do you think you know what it takes to make a webcomic collective? :anime_glasses: We here at Aradia Collective think this video from SpiderForest Collective, held at the Nib & Ink Festival, is a great resource! From what and why you want in a collective to the idea of community in webcomics […]

Been reading Saffron Wave for years. It's a goodie! Glad to see I have some catch up to do :D

Aradia Collective has some new members! This is just one of the many indie artists creating magical girl comics! Check it them, and the rest of our collective out for more magic :D

After some trying around for my magical girl character, I settled for the 3rd (on the right) version. For the first versions I tried (too?) hard to not make it look too similar to the PreCure season that inspired the whole thing. Wpuld you prefer one of the others? 🤔 #CharacterDesign #magicalgirl

One of my fellow Aradia Collective members started sharing their comic from the beginning on Webtoons. I figured this is a good time to start reading it! You can check out A Magical Girl's Guide to Adulting here. I'm enjoying it so far :3 #magicalgirl #indiecomic www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/a-...

Uploading some old animations of my Moonlight Apparition stuff. I've improved a bit since I drew this a few years ago. I'm very happy with my self learning journey so far. :> #animation #2danimation #ocsky #ocart #moonlightapparition

I want to get on VGen! #VGenCode vgen.co/darkhalo4321 Now that I have time to sit down and BREATHE, I figured I'd make this post. XD

This popped up in my memories! I drew it a couple years ago, but since the 'Go for it, Nakamura!!' anime is coming out soon its time to bring back the meme but with Moonlight Apparition characters Toby and Robbie! #art #ocsky #moonlightapparition #goforitnakamura
