I have multiple updates concerning both my art and fanfiction works. Please enjoy!


First of all, my commission prices have been updated. Please see here for more info: https://tyrantchimeraart.tumblr.com/post/744870502225625088/my-previous-sale-has-ended-prices-have-been


in addition, as you have probably already figured out, I have new patterns available in my Redbubble shop. Link is here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/subzerochimera/explore?asc=u&page=1&sortOrder=recent


My MegaMan ZX fanfic "Finders Keepers" is proceeding slowly, but at least it seems that I am still able to work on it for now. My motivation is fickle so I'm not looking this gift horse in the mouth. I intend to upload a "Follies, Kindness, and Killers" bonus chapter in April 2024, and will upload chapter 16 of FK in May 2024. Updates are slowing down as my writing does because at least a slow, but relatively stable upload schedule of once per 2-3 months is better than not uploading anything for half a year or so. Thank you for understanding.


Art-wise, as I mentioned, I have decided to focus on several different projects. Redbubble patterns are one of the obvious ones. It's nice because the patterns I'm making now are relatively easy to make variations of, letting me offer a wider variety of Redbubble products without too significant a workload for myself. So far I've got serpent, dragon, and bat patterns, though there's many more ideas yet that I may be able to do. I'm genuinely not sure when I'll run out of oomph in making designs for sale. I'll ride this wave as long as I can though! I've also got another project on the back-burner, a colouring book project. That's gonna take a while as I'd need around 32-40 images to make it worth your while, and honestly I SUCK at line art. Still, some of my old monster designs will make a reappearance, and many new ones will show up as well. Stay tuned?


As for more formal art projects, such as my various creatures and video game landscape studies, I'm not sure when I'll do anything else. More complex projects like that are harder for me to get into at the moment due to a lack of time/focus. Thankfully I'm only working part-time IRL and actually making a decent wage (mostly because of tips), so unlike when I'm working full time, I do have more energy for creative ventures. There is ONE very formal project that I worked on late last year/early January, though! It was an entry for the Pokemon art contest! I will have to wait for the results of that contest, but suffice to say that I will be excited when I can actually show it to you all. I imagine I won't place because hey. It's the POKEMON art contest. No doubt there were countless entries. Still, if I do win, I hope it is not first place. The grand prize includes a short trip to Japan and my anxiety might not be able to handle having that sprung on me lol.


Thank you for your time, and have a lovely day everyone!

Small update

1 min read

Just writing more fanfic (chapter 18 of FK is coming along decently), looking for a job, etc. Not a whole lot of stuff on my end. Hope y'all are doing okay!

Remember how I restricted my AO3 fics to registered users only, to stop AIs stealing my work? Well, after some mild research, I've found that it's incredibly easy to find bots to scrape other sites like fanfiction.net, which I definitely post on, but which do not allow me to restrict viewership. So one way or another my fics are getting scraped by the damn AIs. In light of this, and in light of the fact that frankly, most people are on AO3 and I WANT people to be able to view my fics, well... they're open again. It was probably hurting my viewers and myself more than anything, anyways. So enjoy again! https://archiveofourown.org/users/TyrantChimera/works.

Sadly, due to my concerns over AI scraping and mining works on AO3, I've made the decision, at least for now, to only allow registered users to view my fanfics on AO3. Probably overkill, I know, but I am so goddamn sick of my works being stolen, art or otherwise. Honestly makes me want to stop uploading things altogether. It's not like I upload a lot anyways... Any current projects (ie fanfics) will be finished, of course. But from now on, if I release anything else, well... fics will be restricted, and art will, as always, have watermarks. Perhaps I'll make them more visible than usual though. Might go delete a few art accounts too, like Artstation... or just never upload there again. Yes, that'll do.
