Elyse - Director/ArtistA self-taught artist and illustrator who draws the most self-indulgent things!!! Currently in school for Graphic Design while working for slave wages. Also has a continuous craving for Cheez-its..
Ghozt - Graphic designHi all ! Ghozt here. I love drawing, writing, videogames and spreadsheets ; so naturally, I love zines ! The SNES and Gensis era is a bit before my time but I've always found the history of the videogame market to be really fascinating, and a lot of my current favorite IPs originated back then. Excited to be here :>
BRyCE / Cheezy- general modAspiring writer, artist, and animator with special interest in 3D Modeling. Grew up a little after the Console Wars (started around GBA/GCN era) but Super Mario Kart was one of my first ever games I’ve played, and I’ve been a huge Mario fan since! Getting my hands on later systems helped me branch out to the likes of Pac-Man, Bomberman, Puyo Puyo, and Sonic the Hedgehog, among many others!
Jack / Rev- art modI go by Jack or Rev! I love to draw, read, and play video games. I work as a freelance artist alongside a part time job, and try to squeeze in workings of my own webcomic here and there..
I'm definitely a Nintnedo guy- my favorite series for SNES being Donkey Kong Country! I just love the music and pixel art. I do love a bit of Metroid and Sonic as well!
Star - ModeratorA Variety V-Tuber on Twitch who also does art and cosplay! Graduated with a Bachelors of Art in Music with a Minor in Japanese and trying to make streaming a full time gig!
CALATARII - Formatting/artHeya I'm tari! I enjoy sea, retro asthetics and zines!
OMEGA - Financial/ManuJust your local queer rainbow obsessed angel Vartist with a BFA in Illustration and minor in Animation, personally driven by narrative work. On the flipside I also love the Sonic T. Hedgehog franchise a totally normal amount .
