Quick guide! Every picture of each file is a snapshot of that file of how it is viewed in Affinity Designer (so you can see each emoji artboard and it’s title). You can click on each picture to get a bigger version. The captions underneath each picture are the filenames of that sketch file. They’re… Continue reading Mutant Standard 0.1.0 – The Sketches
Mutant Standard 0.1.0
As you might imagine, given my current situation, I’ve been kind of scatterbrained. I was in the middle of working on some emoji that are quite close to ready a day or so ago, but then I realised that I had lost track of what I already made (which is unusual for me, but this has… Continue reading Mutant Standard 0.1.0
Overview of the production process
Here’s part 2 of me trying to give you an idea of how I make emoji, so you can really understand the process pics that I will be posting soon. Because Mutant Standard is a project where I’m constantly making little pictures, a production pipeline is needed to make this run more smoothly. It helps… Continue reading Overview of the production process

Long-term goals
Happy holidays, everyone! I hope you’re doing okay, wherever you are. As 2018 is coming along and because I’ve never *really* done this before, it would be a good idea to roundup long-term goals for Mutant Standard other than just making more emoji, both custom and Unicode Standard. TL;DR: I want to try to put… Continue reading Long-term goals
Website update is out!
This should be the definitive update. I won’t need to be scrambling around when it comes to adding things and I shouldn’t need to really do much with it for quite a long while. It’s mobile friendly and it’s also something that I hope is easy to understand enough that you can share it with… Continue reading Website update is out!
Paying it forward
So as everybody hopefully knows by now, I was planning on just making emoji all this month until the holidays because I was doing a lot of stuff not related to emoji last month. This changed all of a sudden just after I released 0.0.9 because Patreon decided to do what it did (which it then… Continue reading Paying it forward
