HELLO and welcome to another Monday post. Thank you for stopping by. Make sure to leave a comment (even if only to say hello :)

"UPDATE". Remember the old days? Back when the word "update" actually meant making thing better? These day hearing the word update always gives me anxiety, because I know it actually means the oposite these days. Above is a screencap of a masssage from my Patreon Shop. Looks like they are about to roll out an "update" that will lock me out of making changes to the items I have uploaded there. THE SHOP. Speaking of which, I uploaded another illustration to the shop. It's from 14 years ago. It features Superman, Catwoman, Wonder Woman and Batman spending some time togather in a wholesome way. Go check it out if you have 3 bucks to spare or are on the SupporterPLUS tier. THE GALLERY. And here I am posting the map to my shop again. It's hard to find if you are new to the site. I wish they would improve the UI instead of rolling up an update that will lock me out of my own content. -_- SUPERMAN. Speaking of the Man of Steel, apparently the new movie is not nearly as bad as I feared it would be but at the same not nearly as great as one would hope. I probably won't be watching it, but Superman news popping up on my news feed so much lately remined me of a TV show I used to watch a lot: Smallville. The show was far from perfect, but it had a lot of great episodes, and plenty of hot girls. Just google for Smallville SuperGirl and you'll see what I mean. Anyway, I added rewatching Smallville to my to-do list XD

THE GAMES. I continue to play Luminous Arc 1. About 22 hours in at this point. Few days ago I got the chance to ask Vanessa if she had breasts implants or not, to which she replied that, if I play my cards right, she's let me find out one day. Such a wholesome game. #^_^#

THE WORK. I don't feel like doing an EXTRA!! post this week, so I am just dumping the WIPs here. (While cropping out the educational bits.) THE WORK (2). So yeah, over the week I have finished working on the whole breast-milk-coffee-machine CG. I inked it and put it away for the time being, because this part of the story is yet to come, I just wanted to create the illustration while the idea is fresh in my mind. It turned out great by the way, but you'll have to wait for the game release to see in action :) THE WORK (3). After that I spent way to much time trying to get the base colors for the skater girl right. I tried so many different variants, but hated the final result every time. When my frustration has finally reached it's peak I decided that I don't like her top and decided to redraw it.THE WORK (4). Redrawing stuff like that is not unusual to me (unfortunately). I don't always get the things right on the first try. I remember Hermione's sprite gave me a lot of trouble as well when I was working on Witch Trainer. I redrew her face and hair multiple times until I got it right. And I am glad I did spent that extra time on her because my redesign of her turned out to be quite popular XD THE WORK (5). That being said, I don't enjoy having to rework things like that, but it's the only way to create something unique, I think. Redraws, Rewrites and a lot of testing T_T THE WORK (6). Anyway, eventually I ended up with the version of the skater girl you see above. It's still not perfect but much closer to what I need. While I add the shadows and finalize her sprite I will play with the colors some more, but I won't be talking about it in the future post, for a side character she has already received way too much attention. Moving on.AND THAT IS ALL. I have a lot of work planned for this week, but I'm not sure how much of it (if any at all) I will be able to show off in the next Monday Post. We'll see. Well, in any case, thank you for your support, and thank you for reading through this week's Monday Post. I'll see you all next Monday. Laterz.-Aka-

Work looking great, and yes I also heard Superman isn't bad but has too many characters and the plot is so-so, keep up the great job

Hey, Updates don’t typically mean progress on a project. They can be as simple as giving status updates and just letting us know you’re still breathing or if you got sick etc, so-on, and so-forth, now take your time man and remember to relax and breathe

GamerLegend09

Also skater girl made me think of Avril Lavigne before I saw that image at the bottom 😂 crazy man

GamerLegend09

Lastly that image up top’s what sealed my choice in getting DOA2 😏😏😏😏

MrLazare

While skater girl gets all the color tests, April’s probably somewhere sipping breast-milk-latte, judging silently 😏☕ 🍼 Smallville rewatch is a solid move. soft lighting, dramatic stares, and more than enough pretty faces to keep the creative juices flowing… Also thanks for adding that classic piece to the shop! Instant grab for me as always.

Daniel Mallory

yeah the update thing happened because it takes less people to upkeep than to create and company's/employees don't want to downsize so a bunch of busy work to keep employment happens

ryuko

Even though the game is not out yet, I'm already become such a simp for skater girl character. I'm gonna pray that there are many scene with her ^_^

DMG Entertainment

Smallville was good even if one of the girls did get convicted of several felonies. I wonder if we can get the skater girl without her bra at some point. You know unholstered is better and bare is best.

Hello :)

Ham

Oh Smallville. If you'd asked me to guess which cast member would become a convicted sex criminal I would have lost that bet

Trevor Bond

Sorry to hear they're making your shop harder to access. That an update... making things worse really is the way of it lately! Awesome work on YOUR update though, keep up the good work!

vladeemer

Man...if only the educational parts had been left in so I could learn where babies come from :(

Iggy

The off-shoulder top is hot!

Tigrou

Hello

Nepurin

Hello! I hope you are alright. hopefully starting from next week I will be able to once again span you with comments on every post. All I can say is that America sucks balls and is literally one of the worst countries I've been to. Other than that, I'd say the new Superman was pretty great. A little bit too much CGI but other than that I'd say it is the best Superman movie I've seen. It still feels like James Gunn production though. Hope you are taking care of yourself and see you next week Aka! (And as always when I manage to actually comment, have a great week ahead!)

vokzole2

Hey man, keep up the good work.

Imho US is one of those countries that suck to visit as a tourist - because they don't a fck about making a good impression, but nice to live there. If you ignore all the dumb stuff (feet inches, Fahrenheit, writing date the wrong way, weird paper format, calling football "soccer", all food being disgusting tasting like sugar - from bread to corn, etc.). It's exactly the same here in Canada. Visiting it pointless (unless you wanna see some local nature, like Niagara) - you will just get trashy Montreal downtown with homeless dudes. But actually living here - that's a different story: having an evening walk in quite green suburb after free but surprisingly nice public pool - yeah, I can live with that 😄

Jopa Sruchkoi

Yeah, your Hermione design is the golden standard 🥹 I've being your huge numba van fan since Witch Trainer (it's been 10 year geez), прожужжал все уши about Akabur to my friends XD. Looking at the skater girl, I got a question - do you sometimes think about making a game will original characters / public domain only (of course, we all know that Akabur IS the source material, not Disney or J.K.Rowling, but they bought all the lawyers, so...)? So you can release it on Steam - to shed light of Akabur on this world on bigger scale? I understand that would mean a lot of compromises - but have you ever thought about it?

Nepurin

I’ve been here for quite some time working at the summer camp. I can see the appeal, but I just can’t shake the feeling that it’s just dystopian discount Europe. There are some great things (food isn’t one of them) and people are great, it’s just the system is terrible.

akabur

Funny you should ask that, because I have been thinking about that for quite some time now. About creating a project that I could put on Steam. I have something small planned, just to try things out. If all goes well I will try to put it on steam before this year ends. But I don't want to give away the details just yet :)

akabur

Thank you! I will!!!

akabur

I think I will refrain from participating in this discussion, I'll just say this: when I was a teenager I dreamt about going to USA, but when that dream finally came true I have quickly realized that the USA I have pictured in my mind has nothing to do with the reality. ^^

akabur

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to say hi! XD

akabur

Yes, I think so too. XD

akabur

Hey, some mysteries better left undiscovered. XD

akabur

Yeah, that's just life. I'm sure 50 years ago our parents and grandparents had plenty of things to complain about too. -_-

akabur

Can't promise anything, I am trying to make sure she does not steal too much attention from the main story. It's hard though. There are so many things I want to let the player do to that girl already! XD

Legen

ooohh boy this post was AMAZING

AndrasV

The first try was pretty amazing already; cannot deny the improvement by re-drawing ... Wow!

Nflpls

Skater girl looks perfect - and even better after the redraw of the top. A true gentleman of taste as always!

akabur

Thank you. I am only going my part as your fellow man of culture :)

akabur

I want to give her the Azalea treatment, meaning two endings for her. Let's hope I will be able to pull it off.

MrLazare

and the mesh sleeves are back on her arms! 💫

akabur

Yeah, I that's exactly how it feels: people keeping busy just for the sake of keeping busy.

akabur

I'm glad you liked the latest addition to the store. And yes, after a lot of trial and error the mesh sleeves were approved as part of her outfit :)

akabur

For real? You saw this add in the world way back one? Lucky you :)

akabur

Well, Avril will always be The Skatergirl, she brought that look into the pop culture I think.

akabur

Don't worry there will be a lot of "empty" updates from me in the future, I am sure. But thank you so much for the understanding :)

akabur

Yes, this is EXACTLY what I have heard about that movie too. :)
