My art has mainly been influenced by modern styles just like comic and cartoons, but I usually try to integrate my knowledge about biology to create believable fantasy-characters, creatures and mascots. I also like drawing biological accurate drawings of plants, insects, birds and mammals every now and then.
I never want to stop being amazed especially by the tiny things that are easily overlooked and misunderstood.

Hey everyone! I'm incredibly happy (and a little nervous) to finally announce that the latest version of my visual novel Teleny is now live and ready to play!
This release includes the first part of Chapter 2, packed with new illustrations, polished art, updated text and more story to dive into. If you've played before: your old save files should still work.
But if not, there's a handy skip button to help you jump ahead.
Thanks so much for being here and supporting my little queer Victorian drama!

Lately, I’ve been super busy participating in the NaNoWriMo Challenge, and I’m thrilled to say that I finished it with a total of 57,000 words!
What did I write, you ask? Well, I tackled the second chapter of my visual novel game Teleny.
Considering the first chapter already clocked in at around 50,000 words, I did some quick (and slightly intimidating) math and realized… wow. The entire game might end up being around 400,000 words by the time it’s done. That’s a lot. I mean, I probably should’ve seen that coming. After all, a storytelling game with multiple choices was bound to be more word-heavy than a regular book, but still, seeing those numbers hit me like: “Oh, okay, that’s happening!”
On the bright side, taking on the NaNoWriMo Challenge has really proved to me that I can deliver that many words at a fast enough pace to keep moving forward. And honestly? That’s got me feeling pretty hopeful that I’ll actually finish this game someday. (Yes, I’m manifesting it!)
It’s been such a ride so far, and I can’t wait to share more updates with you soon. Stay tuned, and thanks for coming along on this journey with me! 😊
Thanks for sticking with me, and I hope you’ll enjoy what’s coming next in the journey of Teleny.

Wow! It must be tough.. Congratulations on your achievement🥳🥳
Thanks so much for your sweet words. I was honestly surprised how fast one can write this many words. :-) I finished the challenge an about 15 days and still had time to correct some parts. :-) (Yes. I am pretty much proud myself. :-P)
Hello, there. It's been a while. Today I decided to write an ongoing novel in addition to my video-game and romance-simulator "Teleny". Basically because I practically have all the texts, so it is not much work. :-)
I scheduled an approximatly weekly upload of new chapters. And at the end of each chapter will be a little poll to decide how the story commences.
I would be happy to see you there.
Also if you want to see the romance simulation with a lot of different choices, it is right here:

Hey everyone!
I'm so excited to share that Teleny has had a major update, featuring new scenes and beautiful new background images!
The first chapter is now live, offering around 1.5 hours of gameplay with multiple choices and paths to explore.
While there are still a few small bugs to fix, I'm thrilled for you to experience it!
This project has been such a journey, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts.
I'll be taking a short break to work on some other projects, including commissions and art trades that need some love.
Thank you all so much for your incredible support! Stay tuned for more updates right here:

Hey there! A little update from me. - I recently finished a little Visual Romance Game for my project "Teleny" which is based on Oscar Wildes novel "The Reverse of the Medal". - Yes, it is a game you can play. - Right now there is only the demo on my Itch, but it is completely free if you are interested.

Unfortunatly I had Corona (and problems with my lungs) for quite a while now, slowing down my whole artistic year 2023, but still I hope you have a great start into the holiday season. :-D Just wanted to leave a short note: I am still alive and working on my comics! :-D
Glad you are recovering and look forward to seeing you get a chance to work on comics! *Love this colorful fellow!
Uhhhhh... Guys! I did it! I finally programmed something myself.
