[img ID: A light orange poster with a darker orange design in the background with film reel and tentacles. In a purple blocky font, the title of the poster reads: "Dungeons and Daddies 2023 Halloween Week", followed by the prompts for every day in black text (detailed in the post below). At the bottom of the poster, in the same purple font, the post reads: "October 25th thru October 31st". /end ID]

All of our prompts for Halloween Week have been decided on, thank you to everyone who sent in submissions and/or boosted our initial post asking for suggestions! If you have a question about any of the prompts or about our fanweek in general, don't be afraid to reach out and send an ask, we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Oct 25: Vampires / The last days of summer / Watching horror movies Oct 26: Witches / Costumes and dressing up / A surprising shop Oct 27: Werewolves / Visiting a farm / Things left abandoned Oct 28: Free day! Oct 29: Demons / Baking / Nightmares Oct 30: Ghosts / Leaf piles / Visiting a haunted house Oct 31: Mummies / Trick-or-treating / Halloween party

Any sort of fanwork is okay to fulfill these prompts: fan art, fanfiction, cosplay, anything! You do not have to participate every day, and also do not need to fulfill all three prompts; you can try to include all three if you want to, but we just wanted to provide multiple options for participants. Once we reach October 25th, just use the tag #dndads halloween week 2023 to show off your work, and we will share everything we can.

With all of that covered, good luck to everyone with their fan creations! Though this event doesn't properly start until October, keep an eye on the blog because we have plans for some fun stuff in the meanwhile. Once again, our asks are open for any questions, and thank you so much for your excitement so far!

State of the Thing: December

Heyo everyone, it's nearly the end of 2023, and what a wild ride it was. A return to full-time freelancing, as well as several new clients and pushing past my comfort zone with some of this year's new works. With the start of a new year coming, I figured this calls for a long-from article rather than the usual "Commissions for the month" post.

So, on the topic of commissions, due to several reasons (which will be brought up further down) I will be very busy in December, and as such will be offering 2 Rendered-style slots for the month of December! Since it also happens to be Black Friday, prices will be as follows if you book your slot from 24/11/2023 - 27/11/2023:

If you book your slot from 28/11/2023 - 01/12/2023, prices will be as follows:

For commission details, as well as terms and conditions and contact info: Here

Now, as for the dates that I won't be available for contact regarding work:

09/12/2023

I will be attending Singapore Comic Con 2023, and I'll be cosplaying Tighnari from Genshin Impact, so if you're in the area during that day, I don't know; say a friendly hello! I won't bite, and I might have a small gift to hand out.

15/12/2023 - 23/12/2023

My friends and I will be heading to Japan for a holiday trip during this period, so I will be not available for contact during this period. You can send email requests for commissions, but I may not be able to reply until I've returned.

25/12/2023 and 31/12/2023

Since these are the days where my friends, family, and I commemorate Christmas and New Year's Eve, I will not be available for contact during these days as well.

Now, let's talk about 2024; it's no surprise that 2023 wasn't the most fantastic in terms of earning my keep, what with the worsening state of the economy, the increasing efforts of social media to strangle the reach of creators, as well as the ongoing threat of unscrupulous users of AI. In light of all this, I've been thinking of a few possible things I could do to bring more to the table:

Streaming?

A few people have expressed interest in seeing my workflow, and so I was thinking of possibly streaming for 1-2 hours while I work on art. I'll be doing a few trial streams in January 2024 at different time zones to gauge interest, and if it pans out well, I'll iron out the kinks regarding the times when I'll stream, with possible expansions to content.

Restructuring of Ko-Fi subscriptions

Since my Ko-Fi Subcriptions haven't been gaining a lot of traction, I've been thinking about offering more stuff to entice others to join in. The $1 tier will remain the same, but there will be adjustments to the $3 tier and an additional $5 tier with addtional rewards (with updated branding to reflect the changes), and the changes will apply in January 2024.

The updated tiers and rewards will be as follows:

$1 (Wanderer -> Sampler)

Access to subscriber/donation only content

$3 (Traveller -> Purveyor)

Access to subscriber/donation only content

Downloads of high-res versions of artwork

Access to subscriber-only Discord subserver

$5 (New tier: Brewer)

Access to subscriber/donation only content

Downloads of high-res versions of artwork

Downloads of .psd files of artwork

Access to subscriber-only Discord subserver

This is only a preliminary description of the changes, and offerings may be adjusted within the coming year, including possible expansion of content with the aforementioned streaming.

Possible Price Adjustments

Since Singapore has been increasing Goods and Service Taxes to 9%, and most services (Paypal, website hosting, cloud storage) upping operation costs to compensate, it may be time to increase prices for commissions. I'll formulate an updated rate based on the current trend of living wages, and will probably announce the updated prices during the March commission announcement (at end of February).

And that's all that I should be covering for this article; if you read through the entire thing, thank you for your patience, and I'll see you all (hopefully) in the coming year!

Cheers! -Reuben (@ReubenYeoArt)

July 28, 2023

A month from today, I'm moving away. Maybe for good. It feels weird to think about. And a little sad. Like, I know I'll always be able to come back and visit (and I most certainly will), but the visits may become shorter, less frequent. I wonder if/when I will stop considering this place to be my home. That's a strange transition. Like thinking about how, one day sometime in the past, one of my parents set me down and then never picked me back up again. I was a kid who could be carried until I was not. I am a member of this household until I am not. And I mean I'm still holding on to my identity as a Person Who Lives Here. I don't intend to change my state residence, so I'll still vote here even though I'll live several states away. I'll pay my taxes to this state. I think it's because leaving the nest, like for real, is a scary thing to do. I sort of cosplayed living as an adult in my college apartment. Paying rent, cooking for myself most days, buying groceries. But whenever I wanted, I could still go back to a place where there were people looking out for me. That's not really an option where I'm going. There's no convenient emotional safety net just half an hour away there. Just me. Alone.

Part of my really wants to get packing. I'm so incredibly excited. The rest of me is stuck in a bit of paralysis because I'm also a little anxious.

So there's a bit of ~drama~ happening on tiktok where some elegance creator (I don't consume elegance content, a lot of times it seems to have eurocentric undertones, among other things, that make me uncomfortable) made a video about how lining your lips with a dark color and putting gloss on top is not elegant and she exclusively showed examples of black women and then, to say the quiet part out loud, she said that she didn't understand why people were so obsessed with having "massive" lips. Of course, of course, people took her to class, including the ever-elegant classy fav Jackie Aina, and she hasn't as of yet issued an apology. Anyway that's never been a lip style that I've tried, but I gave it a go with a Dose color combo that I always thought was too ashy to use but too expensive to throw away, and it looks so good??? With a good blend between the colors, it actually feels super sleek. Anyway, I now have an alternative to just wearing basic single-color lips (for whenever I decide to stop wearing masks all the time, I guess).

Today I'm thankful that the two movies I saw today, They Cloned Tyrone and Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves were both supremely fun. The first one was a bit of a whim with my parents, and under all the vulgarity there really was a thought-provoking message. The second one I've wanted to see for ages, and I liked it a lot!!! Very DnD :)

Show notes for Episode 121: Mark Mulcaster of Fantha Tracks

In addition to being on some of the Fantha Tracks Podcasts, Mark Mulcaster wears a few other hats, including his duties as  Commander of the UK Rebel Legion’s Elstree Base as well as being in the 501st UK Garrison and the UK Vok Chi clan of the Mando Mercs. He’s also an avid Bass player who may or may not show up at a gig with a Star Wars T-shirt. Mark was incredibly generous to give up some of his time and give a great overview of how these cosplay groups among other things, work with folks to get their outfits in shape, his collection and his role on Making Tracks, co-hosting with friend of the show Mark Newbold who has been on the show a few times and I think snuck him into the Celebration one here a few months back.

His Bio from Fantha Tracks:

‘Mark has been a fan of the saga since the early 1990s after rediscovering the original trilogy on VHS and dived right into the first Grand Admiral Thrawn Trilogy, he has been an avid Star Wars reader ever since. He’s been a member of the Star Wars costuming community since 2007 when he joined the Rebel Legion’s Elstree Base, the Base he now runs as Base Commanding Officer as well as also being a member of both the 501st UK Garrison and the Mandalorian Mercs Vok Chi clan here in the UK.’
