HELLO and welcome to the private club of the most cherished of all the cherished bros. (Will I ever stop saying cringe stuff like that? Who knows—keep supporting me and find out! XD)

THE WORK. Like I already said in the public post, this week I spent a big chunk of my time working on Princess Quest Gold Edition, getting it ready for release on Steam. Although I’m keeping the game itself and the story intact (apart from the Hermione bit), it still eats up a lot of my time.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, at least I have some new drawings to show you. Here’s a detailed process of me creating a scene for Hermoany—only to later replace her with everyone’s favorite: Iris.

DON’T HAVE MUCH ELSE TO SAY, so I’ll just drop the rest of the pictures here without any additional commentary.

AND THAT’S THAT. I’ll see you all next Monday. In the meantime, enjoy this short AI video one of the bros from my Discord channel created. Laterz!

2026-09-07 15:00 Not trying to give you more work... but why not have both Iris and the unrecognizable-witch WhoreMoaney? Maybe she just dropped in for a MargarineBeer and got a SausageStuffer instead?

Can't wait for the game with more Iris and what the hell, we need that in a game.

Yeah, I wish I could insert the “why not both?” Meme lol. That way you can still meet the request of the Hermione fans and not waste the time invested! I at least really don’t care if the scene is otherwise almost identical so it’s not too much more work.

The abandoned Hermoany version has its charm, like a glimpse into the "what if" universe of Akabur!!! These behind-the-scenes posts are almost like mini art lessons, and it’s always cool to see how much of your style comes through even before the colors hit. Makes me wonder how many other "ghosts" are hiding in your old sketchbooks, waiting to be revealed someday 👀. Like the different versions of Vivi’s mother in Queen Trainer, the beauty contest that never happened, or the princess-powered taxi service from the harem... All those little fragments of worlds-that-could-have-been are part of what makes following your work so fun.

Hermione looks so good (even in that early rough form)! Why did you end up switching? I know the whole WT situation left kind of a bad taste in your mouth (from what I remember) but have to say, always so good to see HP content .. esp from you! Edit: Just read your other post as to why. Logical. But .. on the negative side, a distinct lack of Hermione. 😝

akabur

Thanks. I think so too :)

All my life, some fans — and even some of my artist friends (like Dahr) — have complained about me still drawing on paper and not switching to digital. And now it really does feel like drawing on paper is slowly becoming a dying art. Well, whatever — I’ll just keep doing my thing. Thank you all for the support.

akabur

I know, right? It looks a bit 3D, but it's really impressive how Hermoany continues to stay in character 0_0

akabur

Can't do that. I am not remaking this thing, just repacking it for singular release. Can't make any changes to the story.

akabur

Well, Iris will be more of a side character here. The main girls you can actually get endings with are Princess Justmean and Smashlin, the elven warrior.

akabur

Your comment reminded me that I lost all my drawings — and even the scans of my inked work — several years ago while moving. I’m still really upset about it. I enjoy sharing this kind of behind-the-scenes material and including some of it in my games as extra content.

akabur

Thanks. The switch was for multiple reasons. Iris being a barmaid makes more sense and will help me avoid possible copyright bullshit. I appreciate your interest in Hermione though. I love using her in my work also :)

MrLazare

That really sucks to hear, Aka, it's an artist’s nightmare. But honestly, the fact that you still share the fragments, sketches, and experiments that did survive makes them feel even more precious 💫
