gotta repair the damage i've done 😔

formally announcing my rebrand to circuit fixer because i've come to realize that breaking things is bad 😔 please follow the rules guys even if they're outdated and harmful

(for obvious reasons this is a joke)

man, i can't even stream (even in vcs) even if i wanted to since my pc's just been throwing fits for no apparent reason

been dealing with this issue for quite a while already but honestly i haven't been able to narrow the cause down at all since the bsods aren't leaving dumps or anything :/

kinda late post since i was too busy celebrating and stuffing my face, but happy year of the horse! 新年快乐! 🐴🧧

happy new year ★ 明けましておめでとう 🎉

lots of stuff i'm excited to work on both new and old, and i hope y'all can look forward to seeing it!

but first, gotta celebrate with lots of fresh mochi and snacks :')

a bit late, but merry xmas guys!!
guess what santa brought me this year!!!

THE PLAGUE!!!

any vtubers who want to make or participate in coding-related content out there?

@chetspinnyeyes.bsky.social and i have created a discord server to hopefully make it easier to find and coordinate with each other!

dm me if interested and i'll send you the link :D

#vtuber #coding #collab

also, look out for more guest appearances on my friends' streams!

i honestly like collabing a lot, and if you guys haven't noticed, i prefer to appear on others' streams without showing my own POV. it's less work and stress for me, and helps me support my friends on their channels while having fun!

by the way, for anyone curious on what i've been up to besides like, the art and collabs i've posted about here, i made a little showcase playlist of videos i've worked on!

nothing particularly crazy though, just the stuff i'm prouder of :')

youtube.com/playlist?lis...

anyway, it's not like i'm graduating or quitting. i definitely don't think i'm returning to a consistent or regular schedule, though.

it'll most likely stay solo gaming like before (honestly very rare for me to do that nowadays, though) or coworking for stuff i don't need to keep a secret :')

on top of that, one of the main issues i had while i was still streaming on some semblance of a schedule, was that i attempted to kill two birds in one shot and combine quality time with friends with content.

frankly, to me, that ended up introducing a new host of issues. it did not end very well.

of course, of those things, work is kind of non-negotiable since er. i need money to live.

however, i've also come to really enjoy the stuff i've been doing for kishi. mostly editing, a skill i initially picked up just to help her out, but now want to invest time into using and improving.

for the non-knowers, i've been doing all sorts of work in the background for @kishikobushido.bsky.social for quite a while now: mainly editing, moderating, and managing stuff.

on top of that, i now have a full-time job, something that's been consuming more of my time than studying at college did.

this year's twitch recap reminded me that i haven't made any content for quite a while now...

"so circuit, what happened?"

don't want to be that person™ posting a wall_of_text.png so tl;dr, ended up figuring out what i actually enjoy and want to prioritize with my increasingly limited time.

A bust-up illustration featuring Circuit Breaker. Circuit has short hair with a side bang covering most of their left face and a lightning-shaped strand of hair on their head, angular glasses, a large headpiece, a jacket with a popped collar, and a shirt with a triangular symbol on the chest. Circuit wears fingerless gloves, and they make a "peace" sign with one as they glance towards the viewer with a confident smile. The illustration is done to replicate the art style as seen in the game Cytus 2.

FOR: Circuit Breaker
Another lined sample for Circuit! I made 2 versions because on one of them I wanted to try replicating Cytus 2's art style.
Definitely doing more style replications in the future.

Genshin Impact in-game portrayal of "Tomates Narbonnaises", similar to real-life French dish Tomates Farcies. The stuffed tomatoes are shown in a red ceramic baking dish.

circuit's attempt at Tomates Narbonnaises, the stuffed tomatoes in a much larger blue ceramic dish with parsley to mimic the leaves, pushed into a corner.

shinylemon's rendition of Tomates Narbonnaises, the tomatoes topped with parsley to mimic the leaves in the Genshin image, arranged in a small white ceramic baking dish.

@shinylemon2.bsky.social and i tried making tomates narbonnaises from genshin :)

as much as i wish i picked a more interesting composition and pose, it was probably for the best considering it was my first time drawing this much of kishi's complex design.

i ended up going pretty crazy with all the details and the coloring though! very happy with how i did the rope and ruffles.

Kishiko, an orange-haired fox girl wearing a green, black, blue, and white layered dress, stretches her hand out to meet a blue butterfly.

happy birthday @kishikobushido.bsky.social 🦋🎉

this is the finished version of a WIP piece that was featured as part of a community birthday wish compilation!

#kishiart

man, i miss premiere pro.

being broke and not wanting to pay for an insane subscription model has its downsides i guess :(

victim?! we're basically guaranteed him when we hit pity man, the 5 wishes were worth it!

i've also been eyeing the chibi cypher figure riot released for valorant's 5th anniversary, so this won't be my last figure for sure :')

An anime figurine of Kaminari Denki from Boku No Hero Academia on a desk next to a window, along with a spray bottle of water and a potted succulent named "jorts".

got my first figure ever!

he'll be keeping me company with jorts (my little succulent behind him) from now on :D

shinylemon's oc, linthia, in a limited reddish/warm color palette a sporty-looking girl looking away from the viewer with shoulder-length red hair curled at the ends, wearing leggings, sneakers, arm sleeves, and a bra-like top. her legs are apart and one arm is tucked behind her back, the other outstretched and pointing outward.

my last (and last-minute) #artfight2025 attack for @shinylemon2.bsky.social!
i sketched his oc, linthia, with a warm, red color palette!

"semi-chibi," or somewhere between a chibi and non-chibi, version of joybilance's sona/persona: a girl with blue eyes and black hair with the insides of the hair blue. the hair is mostly down, with some of it in a braid tucked behind her ear. she wears a shirt and pants with a korean-style half-vest over the shirt, which extends into an open jacket-like garment.

my second #artfight2025 attack for @joybilance.bsky.social!
inspired by her semi-chibis, i decided to retry my hand at simplifying and chibi-fying my usual style with her sona!

#artfight

the persona/sona of T0a5terb4th (green-eyed girl with shoulder-length red/ginger hair and curtain bangs) in the outfit of her valorant main, omen (purple cloak with bandaged arms/neck and armored torso)

my first #artfight2025 attack for T0a5terb4th!
she's an omen main in valorant so i drew her sona in his outfit :)

Full body artwork for artfight depicting Circuit

#artfight for @whotookcircuit.bsky.social

#artfight2025 #Art

An illustration for an event called ArtFight, a month-long event for artists to trade surprise illustrations. This character belongs to/is Circuit Breaker. They have dark hair with a lightning bolt-shaped ahoge, a headpiece with a mic, and angular goggles. They wear a cropped jacket over a cropped undershirt with a spiked lining and a padded portion on the upper chest area, and gloves with the thumb, pointer, and middle finger cut out. They also wear long, techwear-esque pants with a long belt and an accessory ring hung on it. They glance at the viewer with a confident grin, gesturing at us with a snap of their fingers.

At the ArtFight halfway mark!
Feat. Circuit Breaker!
