š Weekly Updateš
Ā
šØArt: I finally finished my latest art commissionāwoo! Hereās the cover art (minus the title). Iāll share the full version once my friend officially publishes his book. (His Instagram is rodrigorosawrites.) Iām currently open for new commissions, so if youāve got a cool idea, hit me up! Otherwise, Iāll be focusing on some of my personal projects in the meantime.
Ā
š§„ SDV Mods: My mods are coming along great! I’m working on SDV Seasonal Cute Outfits Vanilla right nowāCaroline and Elliott are done. Iām focusing on characters that donāt need redesigns first, just to get momentum going.
Iāve also been coding my farmer portrait mod to react dynamically to all the 100+ NPCs in my mega-modded game (yes, I went all out š). Just finished her Egg Festival outfit and OMG it’s adorable.
A fun coincidence is that an SDV voice mod just dropped right after I bought a microphone to start practicing voice acting! Felt like the universe gave me a sign. I want to try voicing some charactersājust need to figure out which ones suit my voice best.
Ā
š Writing: Iāve picked writing back up again! Currently outlining my short story āTea Cup.ā The first draft didnāt feel quite right, so Iām rewriting it from the ground up. Feels good to get back into it.
Ā
š Reading :
- Just finished The Idiot ā a beautifully tragic Russian classic full of deep philosophical moments.
- Reading The Martian Chronicles now ā loving the eerie, poetic sci-fi vibes.
- Also diving into The Name of the Rose. Itās shaping up to be an amazing mix of religious philosophy and mystery.
š® Gaming :
- Still deep into my mega-modded SDV playthrough and loving every minute!
- Deep Rock Galactic added a fun Easter eventāthrowing confetti eggs at my hubby was a highlight
- Still playing Genshin Impact and patiently waiting for Ventiāheās not meta, but he’s adorable.
- I finally convinced my hubby to play Core Keeper with me, and now heās hooked!
- Also still working through The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood. Just started running for Coven Leader and absolutely crushing it.
š¤ Audio: Iāve been practicing different voices and trying to sustain them for longer reads. Iām also learning to edit my recordings in Reaper (DAW software). Nothing Iām ready to show off yet, but Iām excited to share something soon!
Ā
šLastly, I had a wonderful birthday weekāthank you so much to everyone who sent me birthday wishes!
See you all next week!
(P.S. Oops on the Easter mix-up last timeāI totally thought it was earlier. My bad š )
Hello ahcuteart! Thank you so much for your contribution to the Nyapu-style portraits!
Iām very interested in the vanilla portraits youāve completed, and I canāt wait to use them in my game! However, I heard that they couldnāt be released due to difficulties contacting the original creator. Would you be willing to share them with me? They would be for personal use only and would not be uploaded or published on any platform.
Lastly, I wish you good health and lots of happiness every day!

Hello! Thank you for your interest. I will be making the vanilla portraits. I got permission from most of the creators. The others I will redo the portraits and sprites myself. I should have the mod up in a few months. I offered to share these at first, but it took time to get the files together to send. (Time I could spend working on the mod.) So I won’t be giving out the files until their done. But I am working as hard as I can to finish them as soon as I am able. Thank you for your patience and interest in my work. š (The AI translated you words very well.)
