Thank you all so much for your donations during Inksgiving! While we didn't reach my goal of 1 million ink, y'all did donate over 171,000 ink! That will put a dent in that car insurance bill I'm facing in a couple months.

Slayer of Yggdrasil will continue to update on Mondays going forward. I may have to pause updates again so I can focus on workwork to cover bills like my car insurance, but I have a few more chapters ready that will run in the meantime.

I will also keep working on the SoY animated book trailer whenever I have spare time to do so. ATM I will be trying my best to finish the new cover art before May.

Thank you again!

Happy Inksgiving!

Inksgiving starts in about an hour, folks!

I have ONE Goal for Inksgiving 2025:

1 Million Ink to unlock a 15 second Slayer of Yggdrasil Book Trailer that I started then set aside so I could focus on paying work. This money would also let me breathe enough to maybe work on those old rewards from 2023 I still owe.

Please enjoy this rough animatic for the book trailer as proof that it IS something I started making that I had to set aside to focus on paying work to buy food with. It also has a sneak peek at the new Slayer of Yggdrasil logo and cover (cover is still a WIP)

Happy Inksgiving, everyone!

Mark your calendars!

Slayer of Yggdrasil updates April 7th!

Just in time for Inksgiving, 2025!

I have ONE GOAL: ONE MILLION INK.

To unlock a 15 second animated book trailer. That amount of ink will help cover my car insurance and give me time to animate the trailer.

Now's a great time to catch up on Slayer of Yggdrasil:

Inksgiving is coming EARLY this year! That or it's real late from last year, I have lost track, either way Inksgiving is JUST AROUND THE CORNER!
April 14th through 16th, in fact!

I am still hard at work on Book of CoL: The Arborist, Outside Cats, and Slayer of Yggdrasil. However, only one of those series will be updating when Inksgiving is going on and that's Slayer of Yggdrasil.

I'm also super busy trying to make ends meet with my comic flatting job and whatever commissions I can sell which means I haven't been able to draw the old rewards from Inksgiving 2 years ago. Sorry, everyone!

That said, I have ONE GOAL this year:
1 MILLION INK to unlock a 15 second animated book trailer.

That much ink would be about $800 total, which would give me enough time to breathe and make something fun, for once (and cover most of my car insurance bill.)

I do not believe I will come close to reaching that goal, but I'm still setting the bar that high anyway because I am super duper busy.

Check out Slayer of Yggdrasil, which will start updating again in April and donate some ink if you're game.

Thank you for your support and patience!

I hope you'll reach your goal🤗💕

Thank you! I hope so too, but I won't be counting on it. My luck hasn't been that great the last few years, so I'm trying to not put all my eggs in one basket. ^_^;

Eleven over on the Tapas Discord server figured out we can put animated PNGs in our novel chapters so I was able to update Book of CoL: Recovery 02 with the original animated version of the bonus art for Part 02!

Go check it out:
