I’ve been building this world for years. Mostly in notebooks, sketches, late-night messages, and conversations that always ended with, “Someday, I’ll make it real.”

Crowhold Studios is that someday.

Right now, it’s just me, a handful of ideas, and the belief that stories (especially the strange ones) still matter. The world I’m creating, The Upstart Crow, started as a spark of comfort in a dark time: a tavern between worlds, a safe place for anyone who’s ever felt out of place in their own skin. Over time it grew into something larger, a myth, a memory, a home.

This is how I start bringing it to life.

Every bit of support here, every share, every kind word goes straight into building Crowhold: art, music, animation, worldbuilding, and maybe one day, a small team who can help me tell these stories the way they deserve to be told.

If you’re here, you’re not just watching from the outside. You’re part of the first handful of people stepping through the tavern door. You’ll see early concept work, behind-the-scenes sketches, fragments of lore, and the occasional ramblings from me while I’m knee-deep in coffee and sleep-deprivation.

This isn’t a studio yet, not really. It’s a seed, a promise, a light that I’m hoping grows brighter with time and good company.

So… welcome to Crowhold Studios.

Take a seat by the fire. There’s room here for you.
