It is finally time to announce the winners for May's reroll for the month. Thank you everyone that participated this time around, we had very close results overal.
As mentioned before in my uptade post, the pool voting for may has received a reroll for the comic entry, to apply the new rules to the raffles.
All prompts were suggested by the members of both Fanbox, and Patreon, but this time, Lum, and the other options are not selectable, due to already winning the first part of the raffle.
The rules are simple:
- Vote for your favorite character, clothes, and scenario, in order to see your favorite prompts in a comic page format!
- You can only vote once!
- You can only select one character/clothes/scenario.
- In case of a tie on any of the prompts, a tiebreaker will be decided through a coin toss.
- The voting ends on July 19th
For any questions before voting, feel free to contact me before doing so.
With the feedback I've received in the past few days, I decided to add a few small changes for the time being, thanks for the help of members and viewers alike.
Post Schedule
Starting from now, all previews and colored pictures will be posted the moment they've been confirmed by the commissioner. If a drawing was finished, but no preview was published in time, the colored version of that drawing will be posted instead.
Denise's Breath Hold Training will also continue every Monday (Tuesday depending on the time zone of a few people.)
New Content
After reading the feedback about what they would like to see more, the results were very mixed. Some people wanted a bit of everything in it.
So from now on, I'll be trying to add a bit of everything....whenever possible, obviously. ^^;
- Starting in August, raffles will happen every month. Due to the members still pending requests, and not planning on adding more to the plate, comics will be left out of it for now.
- Once Denise's Breath Hold Training is finished, we'll make a poll of different scenarios that I have in mind, and see which story featuring my OCs would you like to see next.
- I will make sure to show some game development progress in our latest project. We've been pretty quiet about it due to some problems we've been dealing with. While the game has been stuck for a while, we'll mention any progress once we're back on track.
- While not many people were looking for it, animations are something that crossed my mind lately, and maybe it's something that will show up at least once a month, or at least I hope so.
Raffles
As mentioned before, Raffles will continue, but with new changes.
- People will not be able to vote for multiple characters/clothes/scenarios.
- On special occasions, raffles will be separated into 2 parts. The first part being all about the illustration, and the second part being all about the comic. All results from part 1 will not show up on part 2.
- Time to participate in raffles will be extended to 12 days, instead of 7.
In compensation for the late Lum comic from May's raffle, and to apply the new rules properly, we'll be making a reroll for the second part of May's raffle for the results being exactly the same. Lum, her selected clothes, and scenario will not be included on the reroll.
The raffle reroll will start on the 7th.
Requests Order
This is one thing that I was genuinely curious to hear from members, as I would like to know their opinion on the matter.
While many people agreed with the addition to the format added in June, the options were somewhat split once again, but people thought that working on easier projects first was the better call.
And while everyone agreed with the idea of testing new rules every month, I'm willing to see how this goes down.
For July's requests of the month, I'll be giving preferences to the fastest requests, and letting the more complex ones for later.
In order to not be unfair to people that have been waiting for a while now, I'll make sure to work on 1 illustration and 1 comic page every day, so that both parties don't have to wait too long. This rule will also not be permanent, and will be only kept for this month, unless it shows positive results, then it will be considered to stay.
Some people that pay attention to my Trello page, might've also realized that commissions are "open". To make sure members receive their requests beforehand, members will receive preferences over commissions.
Viewer Posts
Lastly, I've also heard the feedback from my viewers and followers. I would like to thank everyone that was willing to help me with my own personal work whenever I post anything (which is quite rare I know.)
When it comes to what will be posted on my social medias, here's the new sort of content that you can expect to see eventually:
- Future stories featuring my OCs (Denise's Breath Hold Training is not included)
- Future game development showcases on my Twitter (won't be as frequent as it will be here.)
- Some animations I post here will be also posted.
- Raffle results will be posted on a very special day in the year.
Thank you everyone for helping out, I hope this will come to help in the future.
It's been quite a long time since I've been looking for feedbacks, and while we're halfway through 2023, I thought it was a good time to get a chance to start.
Whether you are a member from any of the plans, a follower, or just a viewer, please feel free to fill the form below. I'll make sure to take all answers into consideration for the future.
It is finally time to announce the winners for the Poll of this month!
Before doing so, I would like to thank everyone that participated this time around, we had about 51 votes, and the results ended up being the same for illustration and comic...again. I might have to make some notes to make for this issue to happen less frequently. ^^;
April was a bit of a slow month for me due to the relatively big list I still have to work on. However, I do have big hopes that this month is when I finally get all delayed requests/commissions done, so hopefully everything will go down as planned.
Speaking of plans, I have a ton of special things to do this month, not only because of Mermay, but it's also due to my birthday coming soon!
Here's everything I plan to work on for this month:
May Monthly Requests
When: May 5th
Required: Line Fish or Higher
To start things off with the right feet, requests for this month will start off on the 5th. New and old members will be able to send me their scenarios at any time of the month.
Mermay Poll
When: May 3rd
Required: None | Early Fish or Higher
Since this month is the month of the mermaids, I'll be making a poll dedicated to the mermaids!
The poll will be sorted out like this:
- Members will select 1 character and a scenario that they would like to see!
- Clothes will be automatically selected as a mermaid outfit, however, everyone will be able to vote for different variations. :)
- The public will then vote on the prompts suggested! They must vote for prompts that will receive both an illustration AND a comic page!
Denise's Breath Hold Training
When: May 15th
Required: Early Fish or Higher
To finish it off, I'll be doing my first story involving our lovely blond girl, Denise.
Denise has been determined to break her personal record of holding her breath for 4 minutes and 10 seconds. But with none of her close friends to help out, she called you, to help her in her training. Can you help her achieve a new record?
For this story, members will be able to interact with Denise and decide how well (or badly) she will be able to hold her breath.
I hope you're all excited for what's about to come. Feel free to send messages if you have any questions!
Due to the still relative big ammount of requests/commission on my list, I'll hold on the April monthly request to get the current list of request/commissions done.
I'll try to get something special next month to compensate it. Just hope I can get it done in time.
Just giving a small headsup that requests for the month might take a little bit to open due to some small health issues that I would like to get rid of first.
It's nothing serious for my part, just a small inflammation in my mouth that started a few days ago. Commissions/Previous requests still pending and posts will still continue normally.

You received a little letter today, with a heart in it with a text saying "for X".
You open it, and inside comes a colorfull shell, still wet on the inside, and a paper with text in it.
The text in it goes as follow:
"Hello Friend!
I was swimming by our usual spot yesterday, and I found a cute little shell on the sand.
It's very colorful and pretty, I thought you would like to have it, since I do own you for that last gift you gave me. Sure hope it doesn't ruin the letter, it is still a bit wet.
Hey, you do have some free time right? By the time you read this letter, I should be swimming again at our usual spot!
Feel free to drop by! I would love a swimming partner to swim around with me.
We could even explore that cave we've been talking about! That would be nice right?
I'll see you there!
Denise. :)"

今日、あなたのもとに小さな手紙が届きました。ハートが描かれ、「for X」と書かれています。
その手紙を開けると、中からカラフルな貝殻が出てきて、まだ内側が濡れていて、その中に文章が書かれた紙が入っています。
中身は次のような文章です。
「こんにちは、友だち。
昨日、いつもの場所で泳いでいたら、砂浜にかわいい貝殻を見つけたよ。
とてもカラフルでかわいかったから、あなたにプレゼントしようと思ったの。手紙を台無しにしなければいいんだけど、まだちょっと湿ってるし。
ねえ、あなたには自由な時間があるんでしょう？この手紙を読むころには、またいつもの場所で泳いでいるはずだよ。
気軽に立ち寄ってね。一緒に泳いでくれる仲間が欲しいな。
一緒に泳いでくれる仲間が欲しいな。いいよね？
それではまた
デニス. :)"
