Alright y’all, this is big. I OFFICIALLY have a comic coming out next year!!!

Fueled by the legendary work of George A. Romero, Hell on Earth follows our protagonist Val and his partner Rian making their way in a world ravaged by the walking dead. When Val finds three young boys hiding in town, he decides to take them back to his safe haven until he can locate their father. Trying to house three random kids during the apocalypse is hard on its own, but Val’s got a few secrets of his own that he’s keeping under wraps…some more supernatural than others.

For fans of series like The Walking Dead and Supernatural, Hell on Earth gives the zombie apocalypse a sickly supernatural twist. As if the dead coming back to life wasn't bad enough, this world is home to the monsters that have terrified and electrified humans throughout generations. The world is more dangerous than ever as the creatures of the night both rise to power and fall to the dead. Will Val be able to keep the boys safe with the power at his disposal? Or will they be the thing that finally ends his very, very long survival streak?

The comic is set for an October 2025 release — with the possibility of a promotional prerelease — and will have a tri-monthly release schedule. It will be available for purchase at $3.00 USD before tax. Stay tuned for more info!

Better photos eventually but I finished my senior thesis

Hello Hello! I am currently doing casting for my senior thesis. I've been posting to other platforms and thought I'd post here as well! All info is in the slides. If you are interested, please dm me with the character you'd like to try out for, and I'll send you some lines to see if you'll be a good fit. You don't need to use the right format for the "audition" but for the final take, I would like you to be able to send it as a .wav file.

I will warn, this project does feature a lot of characters with accents (duh it human countries) so I do expect for the characters to have them, but I'm willing to help you out and provide resources, especially if it's a small role. I've done a bit of research myself with accents, I've been doing the temp tracks and try to do them lol.

Coin Tea: Short Exchange 🛍️

Coin Tea: Short Exchange is my college finale piece, and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Coin Tea is a slice of life series starring a colorful cast of OCs that I've been building up for years now. I'm super stoked to debut an official media for them, and I'm excited to do even more with them in the future!! I really hope you all enjoy it!!

You clean more about some of the characters here on my tumblr using #jenukiocs

You can also check out a higher quality version of the short on my YouTube and Newgrounds!

I love how part of my legitimate undergraduate thesis will be arguing how Dracula is gay for Jonathan Harker. I am going to graduate by arguing for a one-sided ship and that is honestly so sexy of me.

Just wanted to share this cause I'm proud of it— but this is the poster for my senior thesis as an Illustration Major.

Above is a poster for a dating sim concept that all stemmed from a joke of me randomly, with a name generator, hitting the button over and over until got two words that made a logical title and then was like... "WHAT IF I MADE IT A DATING SIM?!"

This is another still from the trailer with the other side characters / "DLC" content (if ya will).

I'll be making a (fake/concept) trailer in like... the next few days and have a voice cast (they only say one line) that I am incredibly greatful for. (I am the VA of Avigail) so I thought I'd share them here too!

I just wanted to share it here cayse why not!

Any study/homework tips? Especially when it come to writing a essay?

I can definitely share what works for me! I generally feel that there are 3 types of essay assignment, so I'll break this answer into parts. I'm assuming your essays are untimed and can be written in advance.

General Persuasive Essay:

Could be a unit assignment, midterm paper, or a chiller final. Generally 2-6 pages with moderate sourcing (3-5 new sources per page).

Personally, I like to assemble all my arguments first. Think of it like a pearl necklace -- imagine what you want your essay to prove ("X is Y") and then gather thoughts and evidence supporting that: quotes, articles, journals, statistics, etc. These are your pearls. Once you have enough of them to meet the page count -zip- all you need to do is thread them together with explanations and transitions.

For me, this looks like a very messy trash document filled with nonsensical shorthand and meticulous citations exactly how I'm supposed to use them in-text for the paper and for the final bib. If your teacher wants Chicago, or MLA, or APA, be sure to use that from the get go. The best parts are that 1) you know exactly where to go to double check something, 2) you don't need to look anything up again, 3) you've already written your bibliography.

For me, a doc might look like:

"72% of people can detect fake statistics" (Example, et al. 2025 404-405) ... "what, you egg?" (Macbeth 4.2.94)... [NEED MORE SUPPORT HERE] "cat's toe beans can absorb 5.44 lbs/cm of force" (Akename, F. in Purrrfect: A Science Tail 2013 p. 102) [TIE BACK TO 3RD PARAGRAPH]

You get the idea. Messy, but helpful. I like to copy-paste each 'pearl' into a clean document that holds the actual essay as I write it. You probably won't use every piece of evidence you have, but it's better to have a lot to choose from than to be staring at a blank page trying to write. Collecting evidence this way is particularly helpful if you know ahead of time that you need to do a paper, because then you can add tabs or highlight materials as you read them, cutting your workload in half. Generally, unless I'm totally unfamiliar with the field, I try to roughly know my final essay topic on the 2nd day of class and then start putting things in the messy doc when I find them. If it's not in the syllabus, ask your teachers about the final prompts. The worst they can say is no.

One of the great things about the process is that it skips the paralysis of a 'draft'. There is no draft here because there is no writing. Ideally, you should have 0 of your own words on the page -- only pulls and quotes. You'll paraphrase and rearrange things later. Don't copy paste directly into your essay; even with citations, that's plagiarism. Don't use first-person unless your teacher explicitly says it's okay.

Once you have all your content, structuring it may seem difficult.

I taught the TISAS model (also sometimes known as TISAC). This stands for topic sentence, introduction, supporting evidence, analysis, & summary (or conclusion). For clarity here, I'll use TISAC.

The TISAC is a simple paragraph structure model for beginner writers, but can also apply to longer and more complex writings. The standard 5-paragraph paper form taught in most middle- and high-schools is a simple nested form: TI TISAC TISAC TISAC C. The pattern of topic sentence and introduction, three evidence paragraphs, and a final summary is clear. More complex writings may add more evidence to the same point: TISAISAISAC. Thus, the amount of evidence and analysis can be endless, but must always be bracketed by clear topic sentences and conclusions. You can also vary the amount of information on any one topic; all paragraphs do not need to be the same length. More supporting evidence often leads to stronger persuasion or proof, though if there is enough of it, a reader may require mini-summaries to keep track of what it going on: TI TI(SAISAC TISAC)C TISAC C. It's clear that these elements can be combined endlessly to whatever length and complexity is required. Overall, TISAC is a straightforward set of building blocks that serve both beginner and advanced persuasive writers.

The format of the above is TISAISAISAC.

Introductions and topic sentences benefit greatly from the use of transition words, which flag to the reader (and to you) exactly what you're trying to do with the information you've presented. All evidence should be cited correctly. Obviously, TISAC is a little cramped on style and not perfectly suitable for heavily data-based work or more lyric, narrative, or artistic writing. Keep in mind though, 'evidence' can be a graph, an image glossary, an appendix, or many other formats.

Reflective Essay:

Unlike the persuasive essay, this type is entirely first-person, focused on YOU and your own thoughts, experiences, and takeaways. These tend to be the first and/or last assignment in a class, and are usually 1-5 pages with minimal to moderate sourcing (1-3 sources per page).

For course/project reviews, make sure to cover all the topics in ASSASSIN: Anticipations, Surprises, Strengths, Awkward points, Struggles, Show an example, "In conclusion", and Next time.

You can organize your thoughts chronologically or by theme. Longer papers work better as chronological.

Get a sense of what your teacher likes. If a prof. is proud of a certain thing, don't bash it. If they expressed disappointment in an outcome, agree with them. Don't come off as smarmy, but this is the easiest way to an A.

Do not use AI. In general, don't, but especially for reflective papers. AI is trained on models of the external world --it has no clue about your private internal world or what the class was like. It's guesses will be wrong and it only takes one or two incorrect details for your professor to realize you didn't write the paper. Even with careful proofreading, it's not worth the risk.

Research Essay:

These tend to be longer papers, possibly a course final or graduation checkpoint (qualification exams/thesis), meant to show how well you know the literature and materials as well as your ability to argue. Usually 5-100+ pages with moderate to max sourcing (4-10 sources per page). I use the same general process as for any persuasive essay, but make sure to use a reference management software instead of a single document. Mendeley, Zotero, RefWorks, and EndNote are the ones I've noticed most among my peers. Zotero was a godsend for my thesis.

Lab reports are a whole different beast, so I didn't discuss them here. Good luck!
