Hi guys! It's me, AiTommy✨️ By the time you're reading this, The Princess and the Blade  is officially available on Amazon, both ebook and paperback. This is my biggest goal of 2026. I've been working on this project since last year, and I poured my time and energy into this one project. I'm happy. I really am. After a year of writing and drawing and formatting and stressing, my book is actually out there in the world. That's huge. But... it's also hard to feel purely happy r

I've spent hours and hours revising my manuscript, my artworks, and formatting of my debut novel. And this revision process is tedious and painful for most of time. It's not as fun or exciting as creating the work itself. Check out my novel~!!(I use affiliate links💚🌱) 'Done is better than perfect' is a really valuable concept to prevent endless procrastination for almost everyone, not just artists. We have assignments to do, paperworks to submit, and projects to tackle. Whe

Hi guys! It's me, AiTommy✨️ Have you ever found yourself aggressively cleaning your room mere hours before a critical deadline? Or perhaps, right when you need to focus on a difficult commission or coding problem, you decide it is the perfect time to reorganize your entire digital file system. You search Notion Organizing system or Obsidian note taking process on YouTube for... no reason. I believe this phenomenon is familiar to almost every creative professional, or really,

“Nothing is worthy of man as man unless he can pursue it with passionate devotion.” — Max Weber This line appears in Science as a Vocation  by Max Weber, published in 1919. He wrote it as part of an argument that academic work and vocations cannot exist without Leidenschaft —passion. But he wasn't talking about the emotional intensity artists often feel. He meant a sustained commitment, a devotional attitude toward long-term projects. Yet more than a century later, I believe

Hi guys! It's me, AiTommy✨️ We’re down to the last day of 2025. If I had to describe this year in one word, it would be the year of anticipation . In animation, anticipation  is the preparatory movement that happens before a big action. When a character jumps, they crouch first. When there’s a large motion, there’s a small movement that comes before it, making the action feel smoother and more powerful. I didn't plan it that way. But looking back, that’s exactly what it becam

Hi guys! It's me, AiTommy✨️ I am excited to share some big news with you.

Hi guys! It's me, AiTommy✨️ I recently purchased MOHO during the Black Friday sale. I love making animated videos, but hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation takes an enormous amount of time and energy. Because of that, I’ve often relied on other animation tools. Keyframe animation is built into apps like CapCut, but those tools are fairly limited in what they can do. Earlier this year, I tried Live2D, hoping it would be a good alternative—but in the end, it just wasn’t a good f

Hi guys! It's me, AiTommy✨️ I’m a very particular (and honestly, quite picky) person when it comes to creative work! That’s why I’m always extra careful when commissioning something, and I’m also very selective about who I commission in the first place. (※Gifts or art collaborations are completely different! In those cases, I’m always happy to receive any artworks🥰) So, when I finally decided to commission the logo for my novel, it actually took me quite a while to make up m
