I meant to update this site last month but I got a little overwhelmed thinking about it. Sorry about that.

I've been working on a bigger project for the past few days. A cute art and lore collection called The Monster Debunomicon. Debu as in　デブ, the Japanese word for fat/chubby. I've always been a fan of fantasy manga with a heavy lore presence for its monsters. This one in particular is inspired by a mishamash of things. Dungeon Meshi, Interspecies Reviewers, and the general idea of The Monstergirl Encyclopedia. Why not a collection about fat monsters? And because I'm a sucker for nostalgia, I'm aiming for a 90s JRPG / TTRPG look for the art. I won't be shifting to be entirely retro, but I mean mimicking the feel of their designs and the traditional media look they had.

I thought it would be a little too dry as simple background sheets so each monster, 10 as of my current plans, will have a name and be an example for their species. I have a cute POV character to be the in-universe writer as well. Rourik the Harpy, a long time admirer of larger monsters who laments his species limitations on gaining fat. He's a bit envious and it fuels his interest in learning more about other species relationships with fatness.

Not to make out his intentions to be entirely pure. Rourik is cute but he is still a kinkster. Touching the stomachs of handsome men for the sake of cultural exchange is a flimsy excuse, and his helpful interviewees know it.

I plan to sell the... book? Zine? Collection? on itchio as a PDF and separate files. I'm not nearly advanced enough to translate a work with this much text, but I am thinking of putting it on DLSite as well. They have a nice program there where translators can volunteer their time to translate works and collect a portion of the earnings from that translation. It's intended to be used for JP -> EN translation. But perhaps it can go both ways? That would be nice.

Aside from that, I have continued posting a little on Bluesky and dont a couple more art pieces which you can see added to the gallery. Updates are slower here since it takes more work to do, but they always come eventually. And hopefully I can get the front page buttons fixed now. I have no idea why they stopped working but on my end it seems they did. Now that I'm done writing this, I'll go check on them. Ta for now.
