design and art by pug

created (the hard part) by tazl

This is all the concept art for the characters, Pug and Tazl. This first began as me wanting to draw me and my friend, Tazl, in scenarios as we were separated by distance in real life. This later turned into a passion project from our hyper fixation on the Roblox game, Jailbreak. Though I went through many art style changes, the essence of both characters stayed the same. Taking a year to complete, the entire 220 frame-long animatic can be found on youtube :)

Eikoipugtatolantro and Pholphaclient

In the beginning of time, two sibling gods, Pholphaclient, the elder brother, and Eikoipugtatolantro, the younger sister, brought forth the planet Alymariaxyolion as their home and began shaping the solar system. Pholphaclient, skilled in creation, labored tirelessly while Eikoipugtatolantro observed, eager to learn. But as the years passed, Pholphaclient grew weak, his body still perfect but his strength fading, for they had not yet mastered immortality. He warned his sister never to reveal their divine identities, fearing that mortal worship would force them to shoulder human suffering. Yet Eikoipugtatolantro, craving love and adoration, defied him. She sneaked out to grant wishes, delighting in mortal praise.

When Pholphaclient discovered her betrayal, it led to a violent clash. Weakened, he could not withstand her growing power. In her fury, she struck him down, but not without cost—her tail was severed, leaving her incomplete. With her brother’s death, his power flowed into her, granting her immortality. Yet, with her newfound strength came the eternal guilt of having slain her own brother, a burden she would carry for all time.

After her brother’s death, Eikoipugtatolantro, burdened by guilt, prepared the world for her absence. Drawing on her brother’s techniques, she created the perfect rulers: Sindre and Hawley, soulmates bound for eternity, their power sustaining one another.

To aid them, Sindre and Hawley adopted three young helpers, Hew, Jim, and Nic. Though youthful and playful, they were entrusted with guiding the community and carrying out their parents’ commands.

Though Eikoipugtatolantro vanished from sight, she was still worshipped as a god. In secret, she would visit her brother’s resting place—the Triangle Room, a grand pyramid where only the worthy could feel the lingering power of the late god.

Dragon Bay began as a collabrative project between me and my elemetary school friends back in 2016. Since then, it has had roughly 8 revamps, with the 9th one being completely run by me, myself, and I. The original concept was supposed to follow an aphmau-based format with it being recorded in Minecraft but later turned into a soon-to-be webtoon. It follows two best friends who escape their home planet and find refuge on planet Draconica, where they must enroll in a new school. There, they meet a huge cast of characters that try to make them feel at home, and others making them feel not so welcome. Each character does have a human counterpart but is not a reflection of them.

The protagonist of Dragon Bay had changed around a lot between Damian and Meadow, but it ultimately changed to Damian. Meadow being the main deuteragonist and all other characters presented the supporting cast.

Regality originally began as a UTAU girl group project with 9-12 members, advertised as a blank-canvas group ready to take on the shape of your imagination. They had a loose concept of dystopian futurism, many of them being some sort of hybrid. The story begins with one character.

The Producer began as a one-off Utauloid that was presented a “music-demon”. She had some elements of more well-known synthesizers. (2022)

I began playing around with new characters, such as Koi and Taz. They acted as Tazl and I’s personal Utauloids that were never meant to become anymore more than just some character art.

Eventually, the production of 9 more characters began, all embodying people in my life at the time. Each had their own identity, fashion style, and complicated design. Out of the 12 in total at this point, only 9 were used as members of the group “Regality”. At this point, I had begun to design them to eventually be made into real UTAU voice banks- with some of them already having their voices recorded by their corresponding person.

After many redesigns and new characters, the version of the finalized members began to take place. (2022)

This was the last piece of all members of Regality. This project has now since been cancelled but two characters are still drawn and used till this day :) Those being Koi and Taz. The characters present starting from the top left are Sage, Kiki, Eve, Buzzip, Arin, Lavender, Taz, Koi, and Ika. (2024)
