Happy 15th Anniversary to the Store!
ABOUT
Beyond the Light Studios (Original name) started in Sept 2004 when I entered university as a hobby personal site as I was a big fan of coding websites on Notepad back in the days. It originally contained a few of my artwork and some links to Fanlistings and Social/Networking sites such as DeviantArt, LiveJournal, MySpace and Blogger. The name was chosen because I had a weird liking to magic involving dark aura (LOL) so I went with something related to darkness but with a nicer tone. Through the first few years, the site has jumped from one free site host to another, and has gone through many different layouts and domains since I was still a student and did not have a job, ie. no income, at that time.In 2006, I got my first drawing tablet from Dad, but I was still a very traditional artist, so the tablet had been sitting there collecting dust until 2010, when I started looking into merch making and started digital art.In Nov 2009, the store was born. It was not online yet, as I only attended some small local cons. I got my first manual button making machine with my co-op work money and started selling stuff under the store name "Beyond the Light Studios".Forgot which year it was but when I was in Graduate school, I changed the name to the current Darkness Studios because the old name was a handful to say and type, and the Chinese name 闇黒制作 came into existence at the same time. Since then, the site and store have evolved from a simple, silly, notepad-coded html site to a full-blown PHP/MySQL site. It used to have its own phpbb form too. However, I found out I didn't really need all those fancy stuff and I have less spare time as I start adulting, so in approxmately 2020 I switched to Carrd but kept the domain.In 2018, fanzines were starting to become popular, and I was not able to get in any of them since I did not draw too much. (Kinda out of spite LOL,) I organized my first fanzine and it was a success, so I have been modding a variety of different zines since then using my IRL project management skills. However, in around 2023/2024, the zine scene seems to be going out of control with more scams, and it is more stressful than ever compared to the old days when we organized zines for fun. As such, I decided to retire from modding zines after my last project started in 2024.From now, Darkness Studios will continue as a personal hobby website and store with both fan merch and original works, and I hope to be able to bring in new and nice merch which can make people happy :) I would also like to focus a but more on original stuff (my original manga ideas are still pending drawing...) but I will still be joining zines and projects, just fewer of them. I hope you like my work and I thank you greatly for the support. Please feel free to stop by and say hi at artist alley events!-Ki Hiwatari / 2024
