Hello hello! It's time for updates! Last week was pretty simple- I spent the whole week working on side-sprites [ the sprites that appear in the corner of the screen when a character isn't in front of you ]

Current Art Completion: 83/738

The number jumped pretty good last week because side-sprites are relatively easy to draw! Plus, a lot of them only involve drawing a new expression on an existing base :D

I also updated my website with a few pics from the game [ I haven't given any crumbs to the non-patreon crowd in a very long time LMAO ] - here's those pics [ no watermark needed since they're on my website! yay! ]

   I've completed all of Strade's side-sprites except for 2 [ there's 2 with his welding mask/helmet on and I want to wait until I draw the larger sprites for that ]

I have a few more Ren side-sprites to draw next week but I don't think that will take too long. I'll be moving on to regular sprites after!

Don't worry, I won't leave you guys with just publicly available art to see- I'll give you a couple more patreon exclusive peeks :3c [ you must tolerate the watermarks though LMAO ]

  And I think that's about all I have for you guys this week! Just art-dumpin!

I was doing some thinking about my workflow and I think what I'll do is take a week-long break from art finalization and switch to music production the next time I start feeling kinda burnt out on the art. I don't need to do that yet, as I'm still feeling pretty perky, but I think it will be a good way in the future to help prevent fatigue while keeping things moving :D Plus, I think it would just be fun to get more serious about sound design and put in a 'music week' here and there.

I still have lessons to complete too! So much to do!

But for now, I'll leave you all with this and the hope that you have a great and safe weekend! <3

Thank you all so much for your support!!!

Fantastic art as always! It's so great to hear that you're making steady progress, and I'm super excited for more musical snippets. I hope you enjoy your weekend and get a chance to relax! ❤️

Aaahhh I can’t wait for the final version for be released :’) it looks so great ^o^ I love the colouring of the side sprites too! Keep it up gato <3

:eyeshake: at the green heart screenshots (God, I love the "yet"), but also ***shirtless Strade side sprite*** Also, yeah, a music week sounds like a great way to deal with art burnout! (Also, I appreciate the non-Patreon update. Nice to see something I can get excited about with fans whose patron status I'm unsure of, or the few non-fan friends I'm willing to talk to about this.)

korilakkumya

omg im so not used to having the side sprites be on the right instead of the left... regardless i think they look perfect and id love to pinch them both. i really do love to see all this art seamlessly blend together and i cant get over how gorgeous this game is already looking so far

fen 🍎

mmajee

kikibadger

Aaaaaaaaah the side sprites, I love them!!!! Exciting to see a little more of Ren too!

Ana TryHard

Colored Strade sprites are like a blessing

June

Amazing work, thank you for all you do!!

HilKaro

You can't even imagine how happy my heart is to know that there will be so much of Ren in this game. Because honestly, fuck Strade, I can't wait to stab him in his stupid handsome face, but Ren... I'll buy this game for him. And for you, of course, Gato ♥️

Smilingfemsweden

OMG THIS LOOKS SO AMAZING WAAAAA (*´꒳`*) STRADE IS SO BEAUTIFUL HEHE CANT STOP STARING AT HIMMMM

Boneberry

I love this art style so much, it’s total eye candy 🖤💚

dogfood69

your range between tpof and this insane. we have semi realism with very realistic rendering and now we have something a bit more cartoony that pops so well. its like nigth and day but still so obviously your style!

Demon Mage

Yippe!! I love Strade's crazy look at the last screnshot!

Cadaverdog

AHHH I'm so excited for this stupid game omfg strade's smirk is so <3

Echooo

Strade is lookin rosey-cheeked and ready to roll! Very cool! Ren's looking bright-eyed and fluffy. Very trauma! It's great to hear that the sprites are going quickly, and it's nice you'll have music stuff to break up the tedium! Loving the size of the side-sprites. It's all so crisp and colorful now TvT

Rebeccah

The sprites look so good! The colors, the expressions, just fantastic. I’m gonna rearrange all his drawers and kick him in the kneecaps I love it

Quincy

Gahhh!!! The coloured sprites look awesome. So unbelievably excited for this game 🫶

Rotten God

I love Saturdays because of your updates! everything looks top notch as always and worth paying attention to resting for the sake of your own well-being. have a great and wonderful weekend!

Gatobob

I think the practice on realism I got from working on TPOF actually contributed a lot to being able to draw this simpler cartoony style- I can tell it's helped me decide on where to draw the shadows and how to choose my shapes more carefully to get the effect I want! ^o^

ShinanaEvangelian

Amazing!!! It's coming along nicely. And anything with Ren I'm just squealing like a high school girl. I love the fact that Ren is shown more often than from BTD. Also I need 10 seasons of this as a show, a 5 part movie, 2 spinoffs, a prequel, a sequel and 24 volume comic books!

FonderUnicorn70

Saturday has become my favorite day because of this Patreon💕 I'm so in love with your art and your updates!!! Keep up the good work, Gato!!

Nebou

gosh! this is really coming together! i'm glad non-patrons were able to get some crumbs, a little fuel for the hype train lol and Ren looks adorable in his sprites! i'm so eager to play this and see how expanded he section gets compared to the short bit we got in btd!

La Floresita Picante🌹

Strade looks so cute in that bar! Everything looks amazing as always 🥹💕

Sel Hodgson

I'm so obsessed with strade and rens designs I'm SO excited for this game ahhh

Sly

The effort you're putting into this game is greatly appreciated. Even if I've had a really tough week like now, I know I'll have the Saturday updates to look forward to. Thank you. x

Sapphire

I know I already said it, but the art looks so good. It makes me excited for the full game. Also switching to music when you start to feel burnout from art sounds like a very good idea

AL3X

I want to put strade in a cardboard box and ship it across euroasia ^_^

Ellie

Screaming!! I adore this all!! But just asking, when YKMET Strade is done, will you open coms/take a break for a bit or throw yourself into the next project? I’m curious since I really wanna plan out a budget incase I can get some Gato art! :3c

Leo ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✨

I think it's smart of you to switch between having 'drawing' and 'music' production weeks. That's very self-aware of you, and nobody here would truly want you to burn out (unless they're just a-- holes, but you can usually spot & kick out those kind of entitled types from miles away). Just keep listening to your body/inner knowing, and do whatever is best for you and the project, Gato! 😁 👍

PhenexHotfury

Your art style really inspired me so much!!!

Gatobob

I'm afraid I won't be opening comms, sorry! ^^; I'll be working on post-production management and merch development probably [ I also find comms too stressful due to demand ]

Loretti

Wow it's looking SO good!! You're kicking ass! I think it's a good idea to do the swapping, hopefully that helps with such a big project!

Ellie

That’s okay! Besides, you should take breathers after your games- you’re skilled at what you do! (After all I convinced my friends to buy TPOF by saying I’d buy it again for 50 bucks bc it’s so good!!)

helenasssss

As good as always gato! I think it would be slightly cooler when Strade`s mood changes into an ``unhappy`` one the shadow on his face was bigger, covering half of his face! Oh, and I would love to see some side sprites or sprites where his face would be covered in shadow, and only his eyes would be visible. It would add a lot of horror and more dark vibe to it! It could also work very nicely on Ren with his foxish yellow eyes!!! But in general, this is so good, I hope you have all the inspiration in the world Gato!

Anjelea Fisher

Gaaahhhhhh the game is slowly but surely coming alive, bit by bit!!! So much progress has been made!!! And we've still got all the music updates to look forward too! YAY

Bebby

Omg the art looks sooooo good. The backgrounds are amazing. I'm in love with the colours. I can't wait to see more 😍 Incredible work as always Gato ❤️

Gatobob

helenasssss
