Let's Chat! Progress Updates and Release Dates! (Patreon)

Yo!  Feels like I've been slacking on sharing stuff so far this year...I promise I'm hard at work on various things!  So let's go over some progress updates!- Arlecchinade:Arlecchinade is officially fully drawn.  10 pages are 100% lined and toned, and the rest are in a sketch format.  This is all that I need to submit my first one shot.  Now, I will be sharing it here on patreon as well for everyone to read and check out.  It still needs actual text to be inserted but this Friday will be when you can expect that.  Now, full disclosure, this one shot left me utterly depressed.  It's not what I wanted, and I'm not happy with it or expecting anything to come of it.  Why?  Well because of formatting errors it basically became impossible to manage and produce.  Like Zoe Wants to XXXX before it, I found myself constantly thinking that I couldn't do digital comics as a result, but thankfully I've since learned that the real issue was the default settings for pages I was using.  They were far too big for my dinky laptop to handle, or my modest tablet to control well.  I had to zoom in very close to properly control my brush at the size it was at, and it just ruined everything.  I nearly swore off digital too, but we'll talk about why I didn't in a sec lol.- Project Red:The Combat Update! I attached a few screen caps showing some technical data for you, but the break down is....New weapons, new armors, new spells, new skill types, elemental attacks, elemental weakness for all enemies, brand new elements, and so much more.  Combat is being completely overhauled.  I'm looking to update the demo of the game around Valentine's Day for now.  The demo update will also open the game up beyond its current cut off point so you can experience more story, more enemies and more events than ever before.  Now you may recall me teasing a secret update as well but...unfortunately I don't have good news for that.  I don't have BAD news either but just, it won't be anything I can talk about until next month unfortunately.  But things are picking up steam!  I hope to commission 2 more music tracks before the demo update as well but we'll see if that works out with my musician's schedule.  But lots of fun new stuff to look forward to there!  And with Arlecchinade finished I can devote my art time far more to Red assets.- Dandadan Doujin??????:Surprise!  I'm making another doujin!  This is the project that gave me confidence back in producing digital comics.  It was my last ditch effort to say "No, I CAN make comics digitally." However since I was still burned out I needed something that wouldn't require me to spend time making characters and a world and a story and have the potential to fail and send me spiraling.  And so I settled on making a doujin.  This way I didnt need to make characters or a story or anything.  I could just make pages and figure it out.  So that's what I set out to do.  On a much smaller canvas.  Now I don't want to pretend like this is some crazy original doujin or anything, it very much is meant to be a copy of the Alien abduction scene from chapter 1 that ramps up the lewdness.  But as practice I had fun just recreating the set up pages and studying Yukinobu Tatsu's art.  It's really top tier and I've learned a lot.  I've got about 8 pages of that already completed and ready to go so you can see just how much faster I can produce pages, and at higher quality when I reduce the file size.  This is pry a little TOO small but since I don't intend to ever print this or anything I don't really care.  But you can look forward to that being completed this month as well.  In fact I might post the first wave of pages tomorrow even just to give you all a taste.So yeah, a lots been happening.  I've also been working on a youtube video idea that I've wanted to make for a while now.  It's very much the least of my concerns atm but if I could produce that this month as well I'd be pleased.  It has nothing to do with art or any of my projects though lol. Hope all your new years got off on a fresh start, and looking forward to properly sharing tons of stuff soon!  As always, thanks so much for your patience and continued support.  I hope you look forward to everything I've been cooking up!
