I'm going away for a trip, it'll be like two weeks of being gone (most likely without internet). But I'll still be making art. Expect an art dump once I get back.

Hi, I've gotten the idea to make an art project on Roblox where I show a variety of environments that I believe the PS1 style would greatly fit in. First, I'll be making a manor, and the assets below are for the manor. I've made mostly the inside because that's where everything is. But with the inclusion of a courtyard, an outside where vegetation is, will be a whole other task that I plan on making. I'll post updates about the showcase in these posts.

I have yet to get to building the world itself, but I'll be sure to continuously post updates about the project. Enjoy these assets made by me.

Alright, chapter two is finally here. I've been mainly focusing on artwork and other projects like iceberg videos (I'm on my last installment).

This is coming from a Wattpad series I'm working on currently, so I'll have a link to the original source cause the description has some useful info.

I'll take feedback from anyone if there's something that needs improvement or just doesn't make any sense. But please refrain from saying stuff like "I don't like this" or "this sucks" cause that's not actual criticism in my eyes.

Three days left. Three days left until Ryu’s final decision to meet up with Alex. For the most part, he just sorta existed. He didn’t contribute much to the world, besides working and socializing with his coworkers. But Ryu did care about other people’s well being, and Alex was no exception. 

Ryu didn’t really have any preferences when it came to dating people. He did have a few crushes throughout his school years. Nearly all of them were the shy, awkward, nerdy type. So, there was something about them that drew Ryu in close. 

Ryu having these types of shower thoughts wasn’t anything new, but it left Ryu in the bathroom for a while. But it also led to his water bill increasing by a few dollars which made him die inside. So when Ryu caught himself thinking very deeply about his life, he immediately turned off the water and got out and ready for the day. 

When Ryu finished getting dressed and walked out into the kitchen, he spotted the dining table’s chair laid on the floor. Ryu froze, he always locked his doors, made sure everything was nice and neat, and would’ve known what caused the chair to fall. But no gusts of wind could’ve done it, and Ryu probably would’ve noticed something was off before going to bed. And the sound of a chair falling just a door away would have woken Ryu up. 

He walked over and picked up the chair, setting it back in its original place. It was like he was in the middle of a stage, having just screwed up his performance and was left to deal with all eyes on him, before going back to acting like nothing happened. But something really did happen. Ryu’s brain was trying to rationalize what he had seen, but of course he knew someone had gotten in. 

Ryu then did a vigorous search of the place to make sure nothing wasn’t misplaced or stolen. It seemed like everything was in order, it was just that one chair that had fallen. 

Ryu couldn’t eat, so he just went to work without having breakfast, a decision that he would later come to regret. But he was too anxious to even touch food in fear he would throw it up. Before Ryu left, he went around the house to make sure all the windows were closed and locked. And did the same thing with the doors right before he left, and tested them too. 

Arriving at work Ryu walked in to see Lisa and Mia, greeting him with friendly smiles. Then he saw Alex, yikes… 

Ryu felt a bit awkward as he went to clock himself in for work. He didn’t want to make that obvious on top of his possible date plans and paranoia. 

Ryu looked over and caught Alex staring at him, he quickly turned his head around and acted like he wasn’t looking at Ryu in the first place. Ryu could feel butterflies suddenly. He also then caught Mia staring as well, over by the register, making kissy faces at Ryu like a teenager. 

Ryu could feel his fears dissipating, being replaced by awkward fluff. He hadn’t realized how interested he had been in Alex. Which just made him mad that he was so open with his coworkers about childhood crushes and what he liked in people. 

“Well? Are you just going to stand there, or are you gonna actually do something?” Mia snickered. 

Ryu enjoyed the company of his coworkers, but sometimes they just acted like a bunch of babysitters.

“You have yet to tell me where I could be working…” said Ryu, slightly irritated. 

At some point during his shift, Ryu had to use the restroom. Behind the curtain, and halfway down a long, concrete hallway was the bathroom. Continuing down the hallway, just to the left lead into the cafe. In a rather trashed city, of course the public bathroom smelt terrible, with uncleaned mold growing on the walls and tile. It was a fly’s paradise, which just made it worse for Ryu since he hated insects. 

The hallway was only lit up by the neon bathroom sign that hung over the bathroom entrance. It was a small room with no stalls, just a toilet and a sink with a busted mirror. Ryu was able to power through the awful smell, he would only be in there for a few minutes at max. 

When he went to wash his hands, he turned on the rusted faucet as he looked at himself. Himself that had more than one face from the broken pieces clinging to its frame. He wasn’t bothering to look down as he washed his hands. But when he went to get soap, he saw the crimson tint of the water. Either something died and somehow had gotten into the water supply, or something was terribly wrong. 

Ryu recoiled, turning off the water before quickly unlocking and leaving through the slim bathroom door. He could just wash his hands in the dish-pit. Ryu peered down the hallway towards the coffee shop, and someone was standing there. Nothing was of much detail to Ryu’s naked eye, since it was such a dingy, sketchy hallway. They just stood there, unmoving. Ryu didn’t know where they came from or why they were just there, but it frightened him. So he hastily made his way back to the diner. He couldn’t help but make a quicker dash while he was halfway there, afraid that whoever was there was following him. 

A sudden relief washed over the man as he blew past the curtain to enter the restaurant. None of his coworkers seemed to notice that he was in such a hurry to get back. 

“Welcome back.” Lisa smiled, “Didn’t notice you there.”

As Ryu was washing his hands over the other sink, he tried to rationalize the previous situation he was in. It could’ve been another crackhead or a person who was spooked by the sudden appearance of Ryu leaving. But it all felt wrong, a person couldn’t have been just there for no reason. 

“Ryu?”

“Ryuuu…”

Ryu’s gaze snapped over to the redhead trying to get his attention, “Mia…?”

“Are you ok? You’re zoning out.” Mia tilted her head. 

“Ya, why are you so worried…?” Ryu spoke jokingly, nearly chuckling. 

“Because you’re usually busy with something.” 

“Sorry… I guess I just didn’t get enough sleep last night…” Ryu muttered, making up an excuse for what happened around an hour ago. 

“It be like that sometimes.” Mia sighed, beginning to clean a section of counter with an old, damp rag. 

After a few moments of silence between the two, Ryu finally spoke up once more, “How… many crackheads do you see on the streets usually…?” he asked softly.

Mia hummed, “Well, they’re everywhere. It’s really not that hard to find them lurking around in an alleyway.”

“What about in buildings…?”

Mia paused, “It’s hard to say… either shooting up in their apartments or getting kicked out of establishments. Can’t say I’ve seen them get booted outside.”

Another few moments of silence pass by, “Why do you ask?” Mia suddenly questioned, glancing over at her soft friend. 

“Well… when I came out of the bathroom, I saw this dude standing at the other end… Y’know, where that coffee shop is…” Ryu confessed, “I wouldn’t be surprised if it was because of the lack of sleep I got, and because of how dark it is down that hall…”

“Maybe, that’s why I carry pepper spray with me everywhere I go.” Mia smiled softly over at Ryu, pulling a small red and black cylinder out of her front pocket to show the man, “It’s dangerous being a girl in this type of city. Not that I’m saying you are one, just appearance wise.”

“Ya, I’ll consider it…” Ryu smiled softly back at the redhead. 

After Ryu’s shift ended, he stopped at a small convenience store to look for some pepper spray. It was one of those trips where if he couldn’t get it now, he had all the time in the world to look for it later. Bless his luck because Ryu actually found the same kind of pepper gel Mia had. 

Ryu was able to catch one of the last subways going home, it was a bit empty. Emptier than usual. As the train made its rounds, the few people that shared the carrier Ryu soon departed. And very soon Ryu was left alone with the sounds of the speeding subway on the rails echoing in his ears. 

The visual of the silhouette at the end of the hallway was stuck in Ryu’s mind. He felt lucky that nothing bad happened while in that hall, but it was frightening to think if the person began to run after him. Ryu was beginning to think that maybe using a restroom in another establishment was the best option. 

I honestly would've posted this in art but... like

It's just a thumbnail since it ended in a colossal fucking failure.

Here you go.

My last post here where I talked about my character's backstory, and the making behind it n stuff...

But now Episode 2 has been posted, but in a part one.

Reason being is that I'm having to redo one of the backgrounds, no gonna spoil it though.

But here's part 1 of episode 2.

Never really posted anything here about a series I've been working on that was character's backstory, but that's because the last upload of it on the channel was 9 months ago.

I've been getting burnt out on roblox studio, and haven't been working on the series for a while. Even my own game that I'm trying to put out, though completed, will get updates. But I've been working on the backstory series as of yesterday.

If any of you know how a storyboard animation works, and how to properly put one together, you'll know it can be very very tedious at time when putting characters, props, and effects in the right places.

As well as my girlfriend taking a break from the internet, which I don't blame her for cause there's some nasty people out there. I still have some saved stuff that we've done together so I can get episode 3 out, and maybe 4.

And that's it for now regarding the backstory, if you want the video version where you get to hear my squeaky voice, here: Link

And as for wanting to see the series itself, here's a Link so you can witness me incorporating how much of a simping loser I am.

I'm starting to think all the harmful things are just meant for me.

cutting, binge eating, hitting myself whenever I have an extreme mental breakdown.

I feel so enclosed in my own damned body, my art is shitty, I feel like I'm not going to make it big (views on my channel have been struggling to get 10 views recently), and being isolated

So I think that I'm meant to suffer

AN: I'm posting a story here, copied and pasted from a current one I'm writing over on Wattpad (Yes I'm a little bit freaky). This is chapter one, and I'll be posting the chapters here as I publish each one of them over on Watt.

If you want to see the description for the story I'll post the link to the story with each post as well.

Here's the Wattpad version of the story

One

Ryu didn't have the most entertaining life. At least right now since he was living out on his own, working a 9-5, 5 days a week. Everyday seemed to be the same day, but Ryu was used to it. He lived in a rather small house with a separate garage, though he couldn't afford a car just yet. He didn't have very many friends either, if co-workers could even be considered friends. Ryu chalked it up to him having the appearance and voice of a woman, but what was in his pants would say otherwise.

Ryu was used to the misgendering, but there were a few blessed souls in his co-worker group who surprisingly believed him. He was actually grateful for their hospitality, since the likelihood of Ryu being a male with female hormones was just as likely as someone being born intersex. So Ryu's co-workers probably assumed as such, though Ryu only had one set of genitals.

Ryu was awoken by his alarm going off, flashing 7:00AM in neon red directly in Ryu's eyes. With a push of a button, the irritation would subside. Ryu now had an hour and a half to get ready for yet another 8 hour shift.

He flicked on his lamp and forced himself out of bed, and made his way over to the bathroom next door. Ryu turned on the shower water, and as the steady stream of hot water slowly filled the room with steam, he was undressing. But when he put a foot in and it touched the water, he recoiled back in pain and let out a yelp at the scalding hot water. Normally there was always a certain position to set the shower handle in when someone wanted the perfect temperature of water, and knew how to set it. And that was no different with Ryu.

Ryu glanced at the shower handle and saw that it was set to its usual position, he might've thought that it was a centimeter off from its usual position. The house he stayed in wasn't the best, the water pressure was low since all of the other complexes would be watering their grass in the late Spring, and other people had to bathe, wash dishes, clean their cars, and drink water too. Ryu only stayed because it was a cheap complex of homes on country roads.

Ryu reached over, avoiding the near boiling water and set the handle back just a touch. Soon, the water was now at the right temperature. So he climbed in. Just a slight inconvenience because of a shitty, cheap neighborhood.

Ryu stepped out of the metro station, walking up the stairs he was once again greeted by the city. The tall buildings and bustling traffic was quite the contrast from the dirt roads that Ryu resided at. But the city was just as messy with trash, overflowing dumpsters, and rusty pipes that scoured up the buildings like vines. Ryu was at least lucky he didn't have to risk getting run over by cars, since his journey to the small diner didn't involve cross walks.

Ryu walked in, putting his apron on as we went behind the counter. The smell of fresh pizza, burgers, and ramen didn't phase him, but it was still a pleasant greeting. Ryu could see there only 3 out of his 4 coworkers were there: Lisa, Mia, and Oliver. Oliver was cooking while Mia and Lisa were serving people, with Lisa going back there occasionally when she had the chance to put some of the ingredients together for Oliver.

"Hello, dear Ryu." Mia smiled warmly. Mia was the youngest, 17 and a senior in high school. She had deep red hair to match her deep colored eyes, always wore a few hair clips everyday, most recently had a small bandage on her left cheek, and was a real sweetheart and always chipper.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, tired like usual..." Ryu sighed softly, "And you...?"

"Good!" Mia smiled, "We're gonna have you get started on some dishes and throw pizzas in the oven when Oliver's ready."

Ryu smiled softly, and went off to do as he was told. Luckily there wasn't a lot to do, unlike some previous rushes.

When Ryu was almost done with the dishes, Oliver turned to him to say something.

"I don't think I'm supposed to be telling you this, but Alex wanted to go out on a date with you."

Alex was the coworker who wasn't working the current shift, Ryu saw him as nothing more than a coworker and didn't know much about him besides some of the stories he would tell about his life. Alex was seemingly a bit shy, and more of an "emo" than the rest of the crew.

"When and where does he want to meet up...?"

"He wants to meet you during this upcoming weekend, Saturday, at that little vintage cafe." Oliver spoke, "He was hoping you'll be there at 6pm, since he told me that in case you didn't show up, he would get the hint."

Ryu went back to doing dishes, trying to think about it. He never really had a big focus on dating, he was more focused on trying to live a sustainable life. As long as Ryu was able to pay bills on time and eat, he was content.

Saturday was four days away, leaving Ryu with plenty of time to decide. It might be a big mistake, as Ryu was somewhat socially awkward and an introvert. But he could also see that in Alex.

Things died down and so that left the staff to finally clean up everything. Ryu and Lisa were left to clean up the lobby area, while Oliver and Mia cleaned up behind the counter.

Ryu was in the middle of wiping down and then squidgy the windows. There were a bunch of window banners that obscured Ryu's view of the streets, but he got a glimpse of everything as he passed a gap in the banners. Ryu was working from right to left, cleaning the far left end of the last window he was able to see into the broad windows of the apartments a little to the left. The man couldn't help but just take a quick gander as he was cleaning.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, a window showed someone was watching TV, and another window towards the top showed someone standing at the window. They were just standing there, all the lights in the home were off, and Ryu could only see their pale, skinny body. Typical crackhead.

Cleaning some more, and serving a few customers, it was now dead again with almost nothing to do.

Mia turned to Ryu, "Soo... I heard you like someone?" she asked in a teasing and mocking tone.

Ryu wasn't sure how to react at first, especially with that smug look on Mia's face, "And...?"

"Oliver told me about the date you're going to go on!"

"Maybe!" Oliver interjected.

"Ya, I still have to think about it before making a choice..." Ryu explained, "He seems like a nice guy, just a little shy... like me..."

Mia still had a cocky expression, "So what do you think gonna happen when you two do start dating?"

"I don't know, the usual affection I guess..." Ryu said softly, tapping his fingers on the counter, "Though, a cup of tea or coffee doesn't sound that bad... now that I'm thinking about it..."

"Oh, you both are going to Central Perk? They got really good pancakes." Mia beamed.

"Well... we're supposed to be meeting there at 6pm, so it'd seem a little odd to order pancakes at that time..." Ryu sighed softly.

"Nothing is stopping you, if you're hungry." Mia spoke.

"True..."

That's the end of chapter one, I'll be taking some criticism as well so I can work on improving story writing, world building, and consistency in logic.

As of right now, tomorrow is going to be my first day of class.

I'm now going to have to put classes first, work second, and doing art last.

So things are going to be put out slower than now. But this is my last year of community college before I go off to a 4-year one.

Thank you for understanding, have a pleasant day.

I see why no one wants my commissions

because I'm just a shitty artist
