Alora's Crypt

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of updates life has been a bit of a whirlwind since I got my wisdom teeth out. I have been dealing with some health issues and have started a new medication + have had to restructure a lot of my life because of said health issue. But the good news is that I was already heading in that direction anyways just a lot slower. lol I'm not sure when/if I'll be ready/want to talk about my personal stuff publicly but I will say I am feeling much better in general and I'm super excited to (hopefully) have more energy and motivation to do the things that I love. I am really hoping for a great 2026 and to reach all my goals I have set for the year! I'm not much of a "new year, new me" kind of person and I prefer to set goals when they come up and feel right for me. So a lot fo my goals this year I have actually been thinking about/working towards for at least a couple of months. Anyways! Here are my 2026 goals!
1. Post at least one video a month on Youtube!
2. Make more finsihed art pieces outside of the sketchbook (at least 6).
3. Learn how to sew clothing from scratch.
4. Start 3d modeling and coding for Erebus Noxaris
5. Keep up with my gym and health goals.
6. Reach 1000 subscribers on the YT.
& Lastly I really want to nurture my realtionships with my friends, family and partner.
I know it's a lot, and honestly I have more!! But I will say that I have slowly been introducing things to make these goals a reality for a while now so I'm mostly just hoping to continue with everything I have been doing and maybe do it even better. I hope you all have a wonderful 2026 and thank you all so much for joining me on this journey.

I forgot to put this video up here but I do want to say (even though its late) HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! I am slowly making it a tradition to be a vampire ever year :3 Next week I am fianlly getting my wisdom teeth removed, so I might be a bit absent while healing. In the mean time I am posting a medium update here. Things should be a bit more responsive but still not great. I'm still working on it and learning new things everyday lol But the full update should be coming sooon.

At some point this year I realized that I don't make enough full finished pieces of traditional art (I actually noticed when I was making the portfolio page for this website). As someone who makes mostly traditional art, this made me really want to create more work outside of a sketchbook setting. And from that motivation came these pieces that I'm absolutly in love with ahh.. I'm so unbelievably proud of them and they will be up on my portfolio page soon for now enjoy the video :3

Full post as always lol First new season of Fiona and Cake was announced??? I'm so excited, the end of this year couldn't be going better. Next is mostly video and wesbite stuff.. I have finished a more personal video that I am currently editing. Very excited to have that one go up, I made some traditional art that I am very proud of. :0 I have also started my vampaire halloween costume video hehe I have been doing a vampire costume every year for halloween for quite some time now (besides the year that I was a fish) ! Last year I was Mavis.. But This year it's a bit bigger of a project and it is honestly making me super nervous so we will see how that turns out. And then lastly for the website update!! I have almost finished changing the home page and its actually responsive? Im really tempted to put op the update for that before I finish the whole thing just so that this space is a better expereince for people until I get a full mobile setup going. It would also add a new page because I'm moving this blog thing to it's own space.. After typing this out I'm think I will do that once the blog page is finished.

New upcycling video is up(: I Feel like for this blog thing there must an easier way that will make me post more often, I'm going to look into that for the website update. lol I am almost done with updating the home page on that though!! I have been stuck on some elements being responsive for a while but I believe I have found the answer.. I am also working on a physical art video! I have just been craving sitting down with some paints and pens since fall has started. AND I'm also working on Halloween costume video so, many things coming swear.

I have many updates I'm super excited about!! First I'm one full month into the gym! Doing the 5x5 stronglifts program and feeling great, I know everyone says that going to the gym makes you productive and happy lol but unfortunatly it has been true. Next, I have finished filming my next video where I upcyle some of my clothing and I'm kinda obsessed with the pieces I have now?? Working on editing that and will hopefully have that up soon!! But Most importantly!!! I have started a pretty big website update :O and I'm planning/started a video for that as well that will hopefully be more in depth about the actual process than my first indie web video. I'm so excited!!

Just posted a new video about my (semi) recent 30 day digital art challenge! A lot of the art work on my resources page was doen during this challenge so if you're interested in seeing the process of some of those things check it out! Also maybe I can make a video about how I made my stickers and washi tapes in the future if yall are interested?

Uhm.. I think I just finished the base of my website and i'm ready to upload it??? I am horrified

Currently getting into a new schedule after moving across country (again) and starting a new job! It's been quite rough but I'm getting more and more excited for the future woo! I also feel like it takes me way longer than most people to get "settled" into things and feel normal. Hopfully it doesn't take me over a year like the last time.

At the end of last month I finished my 30 days of digital art practice and have been feeling quite lost and directionless. I have been slowly working on regulating myself and getting back on track. Opening this up was a big step and hopefully I can keep the momentum going and actually get this website fully up and running with an accompanying video??

Lately I have been practicing my digital art skills as well as find my personal style within the digital landscape, I am currently 17 days into it and I finished my first page of black and white critters.

Hey all! I know this video was posted 6 months ago but I am using this as a blogpost test and also if you are interested you can go check it out! This was my first time doing a sculpting project and with lots of trial and error this is what I came up with(: edit* july 5th 2025: New link to reuploaded video

You've made it to the beginning(:
