Daylight Park - Candy, Page 20 (Black & White Version)

Martin here. Explained this on the Fire Emblem upload but explaining it here too, I've been feeling very sick the past few days so while this page has been drawn I don't have it in me to clean up or color it just yet and Adam's kind of been picking up the slack for me being down too much as it is. As a result figured we'd post this version now and I'll give it the proper treatment when I'm more up to it.

Anonymous Commission - Re-Awoken

Martin submitting this one. Been feeling very sick for days, think I have the flu, so been trying to take it easy and really just not had it in me to do much work and Adam's been having to pick up the slack too much and doesn't really need to get saddled with also handling that. As a result the next Daylight page is going to get posted as a black-and-white version at first then I'll do the proper cleanup and coloring when I'm a bit more up to it, and we figured we'd also post this commission tha...

Next to Godliness

This one's been sitting for a long, long time, no clue how it'll go over so felt like a good end of month submission. Definitely open to doing follow-ups if the demand's there so we'll see I guess, do hope everyone enjoys.

Pre-Champ Page 4-3 (Nest)

Heh. Yeah, naturally we had to post something for the Pokemon anniversary and this has been due for more for a bit. We've got a number of these sitting but they've kind of been sitting long enough they take some configuring to get up to our more current standards so it's kind of easy to put off. Hoping for something or other good today. Don't really care about ZA at all so hopefully there's something else to latch onto.

Filing Error, Page 9

Bit down to the wire but wanted to get a second one of these out for the month and here we are! Adam improvised the bit with Emily in the last panel in outlining it and thought it was a fun joke so rolled with it. Be sure to swing by tomorrow too, we've got another out-of-schedule update planned then. Given the date it's probably not too hard to guess what that might be.

Listen To The Baby Talk

Heheh.... Yeah, we've got some stuff on the horizon for Baby Layla, so we figured we'd clear this number out now, eh? She's such a sillypants~ Good experiment in doing high-chairs. Really like how that thing came out.

Annakatan Commission - Brotherhood

Heh. Yeah, we had a LOT of these kind of commissioned all at once so submitting them as a batch. Hope everybody enjoys more of Koiwai's very bizarre saga.

Weird Waterbending

Avatar celebrates its 20th anniversary on the 21st and this is the last update before then so what better time than now to post this one? Kind of split on if it should have dialogue or not but seems a bit self-explanatory; we used this one for testing out switching to a different art program than we normally use thus the heavier, moodier shading, kind of wanted to keep the image itself simple to facilitate that experimenting. Hope everyone enjoys.

Erika's New Perfume, Page 16

Yeah, pretty quick turnaround on this one. It's actually been sitting for several days drawn but not colored, but kind of didn't want to rush it up too fast plus we had other stuff going on. Naturally we get to see a bit more of Marie being a bully in this take on the story, let's hope she gets what's coming to her soon, eh?

Daylight Park - Candy, Page 19

Heh.... Yeah, we set up that stuff on meeting Candy's Mommy way at the beginning of this story, remember? Obviously that was gonna come back. Irene's sheer awesomeness is enough to snap Candy out of the effects of her multiple injections and back to herself. I wonder how this might cause things to progress....

Exploring Against The Odds

Who said being knee-high was a detriment to exploring ancient tombs and ruins? Lara certainly didn't! Here we see the world-famous tomb-raider celebrating the new release by tip-toing her way through some restrictive areas....

Filing Error, Page 8

Sorry for the delay on this one, been kind of tied up working on other projects and not had the time to script more but did that now. This one was actually originally just going to be a splash page, but kind of hit on the idea of how to turn it into something a little more complete and kind of improvised that while drawing it. Bit of a light step in things but hope everyone enjoys it.

Like A Rose From The Ashes

Sometimes when pictures sit for long enough we start to go "Ehhhh, they could be better." That sorta happened with both of these so eh, dropping them together. Kurama's easily my favorite Yu Yu Hakusho character so was fun to draw him, plus always good to work with the Three Houses cast. Need to try both of these again sometime, see if we can't get better results.

Erika's New Perfume Page 15

Well, our girl is uh.... Recovering from the latest developments. After spending the last few pages in various levels of shock, confusion, and panic, she's starting to relax and.... adjust to the gravity of the situation. In general had a LOT of fun showing Erika just visually adjusting to what happened, especially the stunned thousand-yard-stare in the first panel and the silly little dance she's doing in the third. Just great images to sell her being so adorably weirded out by her new underw...

Cutieland Saga

We were a bit split on what to go with for this update, but ultimately decided on this one since they just reconfirmed the movie the other day and we've got another picture in progress with the series we can post for when that actually comes out. This is one we've been sitting on for a good while now and are quite happy with so yeah, hope everyone enjoys. Bit of a status update, know we're a little ways into the month now with no Erika or Filing Error but we plan to do more on both very soon so...

A Seat At The Table

Heh... So fun fact; before we started doing Erika's New Perfume as a comic we were really, REALLY tempted to try adapting Sitter Sitting into one instead. It wound up coming down to a few key factors, being one being that Erika would be a much simpler project, but.... I mean, we do want to keep our options open. Martin scripted and drew this whole bit just to explore how Su would work for this format and get a look at how she'd go. This was a total surprise for me and put a big smile on my face...

Daylight Park - Candy, Page 18

Yeah, this was a pretty fun one to do, kind of just some good back and forth between Felicia and Danielle as they enact their plan. Looks like Candy's in some serious trouble right now, huh? Did like getting the chance to explain where exactly they got this tech from given, yeah, not like these two really seem smart enough to have done it themselves.

Change The Spider-Verse

SO! Who's excited for Spider-Man 2's Steam Release! YEAAAAH! LET'S GO! WE CAN'T STOP OURSELVES! ..... Okay, we had a bunch of good Spider-person related pictures we watned to show off and this was a convenient excuse. But what a good haul, eh? Four Spider-persons, boy/girl/boy/girl, all interacting with different names in Marvel in different ways/contexts. Nnnnn..... It would take forever to go over each picture but will say Peter's our favorite. Tell us yours in the comments~

Grandsword Commission - Choo Choo

Kind of just a goofy commission we've been sitting on for a bit that felt like a good end of the month kind of submission. Got something special planned for the last update of January but needed kind of a buffer for this one and hey, this is one folks might enjoy. We're probably going to be overhauling Thomas's look a bit before the next time we see him in Daylight proper. Not anything drastic but we have been toying with trying out a more cartoony aesthetic, albeit not as much so as with the E...

Filing Error, Page 7

Heh, kind of put this one off for a bit but wound up going pretty quickly when I actually sat down with it. Pretty happy with the end results, kind of just some good goofy fun with Ash returning to the situation and more properly playing off his mom a bit. The last panel was kind of completely improvised? I wrote it kind of under the idea that Marie was just kind of guiding Ash into the chair but then Adam outlined it to have her outright picking him up, and I decided to lean into that and to a...

Oracle Of Very Early Ages

Heh. Kind of a simple but fun picture, we've had this one sitting for a bit. Kind of a lot of Zelda stuff in the backlog we need to make our way through, top of my head there are at least five more where this came from. Was fun doing specifically a picture based on the Oracle games. One of the entries in this series that most provides material for this kind of thing but it doesn't tend to be a first instinct.

Erika's New Perfume, Page 14

This is pretty hot off the presses, drawn a few days ago but only just learned up and colored. Pretty happy with it, do hope everyone enjoys. Might note some of Marie's dialogue here. Kind of always been a weirdly popular line from the original story so hey, worked it into the retelling.

Daylight Park - Candy, Page 17

...... Well, THIS is suddenly escalating pretty quick, isn't it? ^^ Yeah, kinda tired as I type this but really enjoying the direction the chapter is taking and finally getting into the meat of the story. .... Hm. Booping on the nose is cute. Very condescending. Weird we don't draw that more.

Exactly How Reading Works

Yeah, sorry, we're pretty close to finished on the next Daylight page but we both have other projects we're working on around it and it was probably going to end up being a tomorrow thing regardless, so we decided to post something else and delay the page to the 19th. Sorry for that but it'll be up then no doubt. So yeah, Layla! We've had this picture sitting for a long time and have a few others with her in close proximity to it in our backlog, so we decided to go with this as our sub-in this ...

Baby Sister Growth Spurt

Hey, celebrating the impending release of Donkey Kong Country Returns with two characters who aren't in it! Yeah, very outside the norm for us but kind of wanted to just try it as a little experiment, on top of just liking Tiny's Diddy Kong Racing design and seeing joke potential in it. Definitely outside our usual playbook but hope everyone enjoys this one.

Bioshock Is Strange and Without Honor

If we had a nickel for every time we've drawn Elizabeth DeWitt portal-jumping into an entirely different video game franchise, we'd have two nickels. It's not much but it's weird we would only charge a nickel for a commission, right?

Filing Error, Page 6

Heh, always good getting back to this story, been a little bit since the last page at this point. Probably going to at least try and average two of these a month but no guarantees there, either way do want to try and keep churning them out regularly. Helps that I usually get them drawn quickly when I'm actually working on them. So yeah. Kind of was trying to sell a lot just through the expressions on this one, do rather hope everyone enjoys. This'll probably also be all of the Rumisiel involvem...

My Adventures With Superbaby

First off, gonna link to this here.... https://www.deviantart.com/lance-the-young/journal/January-2025-Commission-Discount-1142819468 Heheh... Who isn't a fan of Superbaby? Yeah, obviously we weren't done with My Adventures With Superman, we had to get more out and just very happy with the result here, with Clark just looking so incredibly, huggably cute. Hope everybody enjoys~

Genie Brought Low

Shanate's popular so we naturally wanna show her off. ^^ Here we see her trapped in the grip of the terrifying, Risky Boots, padded, pouting, and seemingly defeated. However will she escape? Yeah, not much to say but really fun picture we enjoyed doing~

Erika's New Perfume, Page 13

Heheh... New year, new Erika comic, VERY cute little diddy to immediately be showing off; it's a bit of a heavier page than normal for her, but there's a lot of panels. Either way, this was a fun one to get out; having that one static shot of her and just focusing on her expressions and body language. Made for a really adorable sequence, especially in the final panel when the realization of what just happened hits her. ^_^
