OnceHere's News

Posted by OnceHere - April 17th, 2024


Before the beginning, there was nothing. Before nothing, there was a Corpse. The Corpse was alive, and Its name was Anastasia. She uttered Her name and It reverberated across the nonexistent void of nothingness, for nothingness has yet to exist. 


And so Anastasia let the concept of concepts be, the utterance of Her name refracting the unknown into the incomprehensible. Thus began the nonexistence of I, and my sisters. As we felt the embrace of our Mother's name, we also uttered our own.


Anaerahel uttered her name first, for her name is the beginning of our Mother's. Its reverberation intertwined with our Mother's, condensing the abstraction of the incomprehensible into the sense of finality.


Staerafae brought forth the sense of infinity as the middle of our Mother's name is always between the beginning and the end.


I, Siaeraielle, uttered the end of our Mother's name. I spelled the incomprehensibility of the uncertain and marked the end of the start of the beginning. Our nonexistence sprung the march of progression.


As the echoes of our name melded with those of our Mother's, She gave us love and brought life to Her Corpse. She knew and gave what we wanted and She began the beginning.


Anaerahel created Helldom and it echoed the concept of belonging. Likewise, Staerafae created Faedomme, echoing a similar sense of belonging. I followed their lead and created Domielle and felt a sense of belonging similar, yet different to that of my sisters'.


We felt our Mother's delight as She acknowledged our belongingness. It reverberated between us and we realized that its conception was the beginning.

- No AI art

- Be respectful

- Follow the forum rules


Submission:

- Got back to drawing

- Joined the Sandwich Collab

- over 33 people followed me thank you :D

- Drew 100th Anastasia Project Character

- Wrote a script for an Erebus movie


To answer my question last month, this month was better I think. Not only did I got back to drawing, I also got motivated to write again. Let's GO!!!


Posted by OnceHere - March 27th, 2024


A few months ago I published a comic and asked for feedback. It helped me a lot to figure out what I want to do next. So now I am writing the script for an Erebus movie. It might just stay as a script though. I don't know anything about making movies nor scriptwriting. Whatever, I'll just finish it as a comic first. But I really want it to be movie. Maybe some day I can make it.

They just hit you hard before you even know where they came from. Eventually you'll have a vague idea what direction or place they might have come from, but you wouldn't know why. Sometimes they've already struck somebody else and you're left wondering how you ended up walking down the same road as that person without ever crossing paths with them.


This weird phenomenon happened to me a bunch of times in the past. And it has happened again with Erebus. I had stories planned ready to be drawn once I had enough motivation to continue it. Then I decided to watch a bunch of movies on a whim. I watched Alien and its prequels. Its story is similar to what I planned for my own story. I did not realize it at first but once I did, I was amazed. Obviously it's not exactly identical, but the main story is similar. The only difference it that I could probably never achieve something as great and impactful. I have never watched these movies before but its influence is definitely present in a many things that I liked. And it's even made way before I was born. I researched about it and was amazed again at how much it was inspired by other works of art as well.


So I return to Erebus, my own story. I know that it's not exactly original at all but from what I have observed at everything that I talked about earlier, it just goes on a circle. Many ideas have been explored before and after Alien was released. They don't necessarily change the entirety of storytelling, they just spin the wheel to a different direction. And that's what I'll do with Erebus. Maybe I'll get bored with it and fail. Maybe I'll finally succeed. But there's one thing I want to believe: There are infinite invisible trucks out there, and each of them can go in any direction. Doesn't matter where, they all go somewhere. These may not be one thing afterall :/

I'm only 3 fans away from 333 fans. It's crazy. I have been trying out other stuff but I will get to posting drawings as soon as I can. I just re-read a comic I made a year ago and I think it would be fun to publish it here. It's around 60 pages but I cut some corners to make it shorter out of impatience so it will be much longer when posted here. Or shorter, I don't know.


Anyway, thanks to everyone who followed me.

  • Started college again. Hope I don't fail this time...
  • Barely drew anything
  • Continued studying game design
  • Binged all of Kung Fu Panda movies, enjoyed all of them.


I wasn't motivated enough to draw anything this month. Maybe because school is bothering me. Maybe because I hit an art block. Maybe both, I don't know. This month feels sad. Everyday felt the same and it was over before I knew it. The only good thing that happened was me getting inspiration from Kung Fu Panda. Maybe I will make fan art of the characters...


Will the next month be better?


Posted by OnceHere - February 21st, 2024


I'm trapped in my imagination yet again. I wonder how I was able to produce a lot of art last month...


Maybe I'm still recharging my battery after those art. I hope I get to draw again soon.

  • I published the 1st Chapter of Erebus. (9 more to go!)
  • Made a short comic titled "Okay".
  • Looked for comic feedback.
  • Drew lots of Wanzu art, and received lots of amazing fan art.
  • Joined NG Office Depths Collab.
  • Discovered lots of cool pixel artists.
  • Participated in Pixel Day.
  • Made lots of pixel art.
  • Started the Anastasia Project (Drew 76 Characters, 1013 to go!).
  • Started re-learning how to make games.
  • Failed the first term of college.


Overall, this month was okay... None of my individual works got frontpaged so it means that I can still make better artworks.


Anyway, hope this month is better :D

This month, I've paused the development of the comics that I'm working on to look for feedback and also think of what I really want to do for the years to come. Like....


  • A combat-focused solo TTRPG system based on my Character Design/Comic Project (Anastasia Project)
  • A text based/2D fighting game based the mechanics of the TTRPG


I'm planning on putting them here on Newgrounds. I know I can put games in here, though I'm not really sure how I'd post the TTRPG...


And while I have set some goals related to comics and illustration this year, I think these other goals would help me prevent creative blocks. I'm not really going to focus on them too much since my main goal is still to make drawings.


Anyway, I also want to make some kind of journal about the development of the TTRPG but I don't really know where to post it here. Maybe I'll just make a private one.
