Hello hello! It's finally the weekend! Take a load off and come see.... just a big ol pile of ren sprites!

Last week that is all I did and I have added 32 ren sprites to the collection LMAO

 Current art finalization progress: 165/743

It was a fairly productive week! Definitely better than last week LMAO

I got quite a few standing Ren sprites done, but there's still a lot more to do. I'll definitely still be working on them next week 😅

They take a bit more work as well, since I've tried to use body language and pose variations more often. I find it's fairly important to get the tone across in the new script.

So! I'm sure you'd rather see them than hear about them! I'll scrounge a couple up :)

My gif capture is a bit dark and crunchy, but you get the idea!

   

I think that's all I'm willing to share of those :3c You know I must be careful about what I upload here these days haha!

Actually, about that, I wanted to speak briefly again about a tumblr account that's been reposting my patreon updates and I guess more recently working on selling my daki designs or something? I'm not very sure- I don't use tumblr any more.

But anyway, my point is this: I'm quite certain it's just a teenager, and I want to ask you all to please not harass them. I know there's a sense of injustice here but please don't worry about me. I'm doing great!

Don't get me wrong, I'd obviously rather my work wasn't stolen and such. But I just think that being nasty to a kid won't really help anything. I'm sure they imagine me as some sort of big company or maybe an abstract untouchable figure, and they probably see their own behaviour as some sort of robin hood or spy sort of thing.

I also think that in a few years, they'll find the memory of this very embarrassing. And I think that's punishment enough.

And really, who among us hasn't done stupid shit as a teenager? LMAO

There isn't a thief alive who can catch up to me anyway. I'll always be one step ahead with content because I'm the source ;)

But I've blathered on too long now! It's time to wrap it up!

Take it easy and enjoy the summer weather if you can! Thank you so much for your support and giving me this opportunity.

See you next week! ^o^

Taheca

OOOH I REMEMBER THIS SCENE, I don't remember how much you said in the Saturday updates then (compared to the discord), but if it wasn't much, I totally understand you being vague about it LOL.

I'm sorry if you're tired of seeing me say this, but I just love seeing the characters come alive more and more with the color. I'm practically taking a magnifying glass to their expressions to admire everything. Also I just really like seeing Ren's claws and how they stand out. :3

Sumi

I can't wait for the Ren angst oouuggg it's going to be scrumdiliumcious.

Rebeccah

These sprites are so expressive! You’ve done such an incredible job setting tone with the visuals, I’m jazzed to get to see the scene in full eventually!!

SproutMole

AHHH I LOVE YOUR POSTS, AND YOUR WORK GATO! I LOVE YOU, HAVE A NICE WEEK!

korilakkumya

Bebby

Catro1000

Villain_Simp

Omg you’re sooo sweet 😭💞 You’re my first ever artist idol, i’m very inspired by your talent! How you make your own game (like the program the sound and the art!!) i want to be as talented as you one day. Thank you for your hard work!!

Villain_Simp

Corruptfoxarc

loving the facial expressions and the body language! makes me excited for the whole game!!

Boneberry

The Ren sprites look amazing, I love how expressive they are! It’s seriously been so cool to see the development of this project from your initial brainstorming stream :)

HilKaro

boohoo, these animations are too fast for me, I can't read the text 😭

Gurtw

THE SPRITES LOOK SO GOOD ! :OO i really like the way how they change to suit what hes saying .its gives the feeling fr. im going between looking at rens gestures and reading what hes actually saying😭 with every update on this game i get more and more excited

Gatobob

tired of compliments???? I'm not made of stone, of course I'm not tired of it 😂 it makes me really happy to hear my work is sparking joy!

Gatobob

sorry! It's tough to fit everything in the gif because when I make them longer they get so big the file size is crazy 😂

You're honestly the bigger, better person in how you're reacting to the Tumblr account case. It's good you're able to take the philosophical, long picture view where you can. After all, there'll always be charlatans or misguided people who try to reappropriate one's own products/services (ah, the reality of joining the competitive marketplace). That said, those other parties lack the raw power, confidence, and talent that you've genuinely worked hard to gain over the years of honing your craft. Thus, making you the far superior, more sustainable source of creativity and innovation. 🔥💪 Nobody's got your unique personality or brain, only you do!!! 😁 That said, I'm loving the sneak peeks of the Ren sprites! Paying careful attention to body language--even down to the most seemingly mundane microexpression-- can convey a lot at once to a player, giving the game's text boxes more tone and life. 😁 My inner psychologist is very pleased at how possibly fun that must be, in playing around with your characters' body language! Hope you're doing well Gato, and resting your brain/hand as needed! 🥳

PennyFaust

Ren looks so good! These look fantastic, it's great to see everything coming along so nicely. I hope you get a chance to relax this weekend and take a break. I can't wait to see what you post next week!

Isabellaaaa

REN LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL OMG KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 💞💞💞💞💞😭😭😭

Smilingfemsweden

AAAAAAA THE SPRITES!! THEY ARE LOOKING SO WONDERFUL!! I CANT STOP STARING :3

ShinanaEvangelian

You do great work on this. The Ren sprites are looking just as amazing as the Strades sprites. Seeing that one screenshot, my toxic trait is defending Ren in that situation.

HilKaro

so I click the defend Ren button a million times until my finger hurts. Geez, what would it be like if you collected some affection points that could be transferred to the next parts of the game, once it was created (in my imagination, for some reason, Ren appears in every part)

MoonDarkMaiden

Not only tumblr but tik tok as well, I've seen some accounts edit the patreon art and some comments telling them its not okay, still not much can be done and its good that you understand even if it may be a bummer. The ren sprites look amazing good work! 🦊 😁

lawrence

God both ren and strade are just so SCRUMPTIOUS!!! your gifs are still amazing and im just so hyped. id be pressing the defend ren button for hours, i love him so much. have a safe weekend gato!! ^^

Celty

I feel for Ren when he gets caught sneaking around... hello childhood trauma~ But everything looks amazing like usual! Yee! <3

Cadaverdog

From what I gather from these, you seem to be giving Ren a more "standoffish" personality, and I'm really here for it! It seems a lot more realistic to what someone in this situation would do. That realism is a big reason I love your work so much! I relate deeply to multiple of your characters, especially BTD2 Ren, because they're just so "human"! When I played his route, I really saw myself in him a lot, it was honestly kinda scary I wanted to check my room for cameras after XD but seriously, keep up the good work! And don't let worries of if people will like certain changes or not get to you, we like your work for YOU first and foremost :)

EEEEERJEJFJEJFSJSKSKXKDKDNFHDJFKDLDHDG HE LOOKS SO GOOOOD AAAHDKKFKDNFKDJF

plapx3

I thought I was original joining the patreon as a 19th birthday gift to myself... *cries* Sorry Ren I would defend you but you're not wearing the short shorts so I guess not...

Sapphire

I love all of the Ren this week! It looks so good!

gloomyghost

THEY BOTH LOOK SO GOOD!! It’s so cool to see how your art has grown over time. I really love the new designs 💕

chiral

DEFEND REN! DEFEND REN!

helenasssss

Omg, Ren looks soooo cute! My heart...I love his new design, the old one was not it compared to this new one. Now I`m like: Oh yeah, he looks 19. By the way, I`ve noticed the height difference between Strade and Ren. Did you change their canon height? (Strade: 5.8 and Ren: 5.1). Ren looks so much taller in the Strade and Ren scene. It looks great, don`t get me wrong! I`m just curious.

Goreboru

Can I eat them pls

PhenexHotfury

Every week, the dish you served is the best

tanukii

I noticed that too! But my partner and I are the same height as Strade and Ren and this is definitely a more accurate comparison!

Ellie

SCREAMING FOR THE REN!! I'm super curious how he looks when he pretends he's human, like I'm imaging he'd have to wear specific ear hiding hats or style his hair to hide his lack of human ears. And thank you for the crumbs of the handsome lad himself Strade and his interactions with Ren <3 Question though! Hopefully this isn't too spoilery, I saw that earlier gifs of progress showed that Ren changes attitude with Strade, will it be shown more in this game or when a possible Ren remake is made? And is Ren a naturally snarky guy with how he seems to talk to MC one on one?

Phoenix Astra's Art Patreon

Holy shit it's so good?? I'm ngl I'm so into new Ren he kinda spicy? He looks way older/mature and I dig that sm. But seeing the two of them interact is so exciting!! Thank you for all your hard work gato!

helenasssss

oooh, then that makes so much sense! Thank you so much for answering!! <3

Anjelea Fisher

EeeeeEEEEE Ren is in color!!! So many sprites, so much emotion!!! I'm glad you were able to make so much awesome progress this week!! YAY Also, it sucks that someone is reposting your stuff, but like you said, you are the sole creator so you really don't have to worry about leaks. What you share on here is stuff you are comfortable sharing. You share with your patrons because you believe we deserve some BTS updates because we support you but at the end of the day, it is still your decision on just what clips/images you decide to share! I'm glad you're able to take it so well and just continue to focus on the game! I can't wait to see more and more spirtes :D

dogfood69
