Daylight Park - Candy, Page 28

And that's a wrap on this chapter of Daylight Park! We'll go into more detail soon but we're likely going to take a bit of a break before the next chapter and take the opportunity to refresh some aspects of the comic when it starts back up. Got an idea in mind for that one we hope folks are going to really dig but this chapter's really taken a lot out of us so could use the breathing room for a little bit. Was the longest Daylight chapter to date and it definitely felt like it, though we're very...

The Wonders of the Body

This one sat unfinished for a long, long time before we finally wrapped it up, so feels good getting to finally post it. Kind of no clue how to expect this to go over; Cells at Work seems to have a pretty rabid fandom but it's definitely outside our wheelhouse and don't think I've ever seen padded art of it.

Safe at Last

Have we ever actually done a Madoka Magica picture before? Don't think we have, if so it's been a long, long time. Either way, yeah, this one's been sitting for a bit and felt like a good one to gamble on for the middle of the month. Pretty happy with how it turned out but no idea what to expect of how it'll go over, might open up the door to do more stuff with this series if it does well.

Erika's New Perfume, Page 23

Heh. Erika finally gets some much-needed insight and advice from her kid sister. ..... Which is entirely lost on her. Guess when you have a three-year-old explaining things you can't expect a super-in-depth analysis. This was a really relaxing page to draw; had been pretty stressed that day and was nice and calm getting through it. Still like how adorable it wound up, especially the first panel~

Legends Commission - Smash Sitting

And this wraps up the big batch upload we've been doing the past couple days... kinda, we still plan to submit something else a little later outside of the theme. We decided on that other picture we had in progress not to force it since we're kind of swamped with stuff so yeah, leaving off on a Mario Kart picture! Ish, kinda. Rainbow Road and Rosalina are there. Not a crazy amount to say on this one past that but eh, am pretty happy with it, hope everyone enjoys. Liked doing the touch of making...

It's a Bust

Heh. Yeah, our tie-ins continue with one for the new Phineas & Ferb revival! Not a series it's likely we'll ever hit very often just due to how much it depends on the art style - actually got fairly deep into trying this picture in the show's style before bailing out since wasn't liking how it was looking - but at least had this one idea that we thought would be fun. Might end up passing on the other unfinished picture we were wanting to try and wrap up and include in this whole batch thing...

Baby Want a Battle

Sure, you could argue Youngster isn't the right one, but she wears shorts, clearly Nemona knows what class is right for her! Yeah, the Pokemon update's one of the most hyped of the Switch 2 ones and it's indeed a pretty massive improvement so hey, got a picture of that for the occasion! Actually used this as a bit of an experiment with shading; kind of stalled out on those experiments but should get back to them, do think when it goes right it does make for much higher quality work.

Too Many Game Overs

Heh, Link's Awakening was one of the free upgrades for the Switch 2 and we happened to have a picture sitting for it so have a double dose of Zelda! We actually could've potentially gone even further, since we have in-progress Wind Waker and Breath of the Wild ones, but we decided to just leave it to this and the BotW picture for now. Got at least four more things we're planning to post as part of this mega drop so keep an eye out for that, might end up trickling out into the afternoon tomorrow...

Ultra Puzzled Fighter - The Final Challenger

Heh, this one's been sitting for a good while and it's a good excuse to post it. Probably going to be doing increasing amounts of Street Fighter in the future; top of my head we've got at least one more finished and one more in progress and can think of plenty more I can think to do it. Originally was going to really go for it on making this a Puzzle Fighter thing with the board and everything, but it's a difficult game to understand at a glance who's losing and also was taking a really long ti...

Noneya Commission - Cyberpunked

Neither of us really knows much about the Cyberpunk series, but it is a launch title for the Switch 2 and we do have a picture sitting with it so wwhy not! Kind of simple but think this one turned out pretty decently.

Wishing to the Harvest Goddess

Okay so admittedly this one's arguably a little bit of a reach since the series really are separate things at this point but this is our Rune Factory tie-in! Or if you prefer our tie-in to them adding the new features to the N64 app, either way I suppose. Guess could argue we should be saving this for the new Story of Seasons next month but we've got more pictures with the series sitting anyway.

Dirtybooks Commission - Diapdadiap

Hey, they're not ALL Switch 2 tie-ins. Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye is out in theaters today so we're posting that too! .... Not actually planning to see it until tomorrow because we're exhausted from waiting up for our Switch 2s to be delivered! But yeah, Dan Da Dan is definitely a series you can expect to see a lot more of from us in the future. Top of my head we've got at least two more pictures sitting with it and I'm definitely not ruling out doing more. As for this particular batch update we're ...

You Accept Everything

In keeping with our releases for this big day, here's a picture celebrating Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4. I've only just beaten them; I started at roundabout 10:30-ish and I'm only now finishing about 13 hours later (with a few breaks here and there, only substantial one when I got a walk between chapters. This picture was drawn months before the chapters came out. The comments I'm typing here will also be free of spoilers. It was actually drawn by Martin, who wanted to play with Kris's lack of c...

Anonymous Commission - Surge Protector

This one's a commission we actually just knocked out suuuuper recently, but Sonic Generations is one of the Switch 2 launch titles so hey, gives us a thing to tie into to post it! Kind of didn't hate doing this one, can't imagine we'll do much Sonic of our volition in the future but maybe if the idea strikes us we might try it sometime.

Science is the Fruit of Curiosity

Both of us are waiting for our Switch 2s to arrive, both scheduled for at some point on Thursday but not sure what time, so throughout the day we're going to be doing a series of uploads for the occasion! Got a number of things sitting that happen to tie into the day's releases so starting things off with this Tears of the Kingdom picture, which is a followup to this one - https://lance-the-young.fanbox.cc/posts/9649557 Do have at least one more in this series of these planned but not sure if ...

Not Bottling It Up

Heheh. Yeah, we honestly don't hit Sailor Moon that often, do we? Really wanted to take a moment to show it off here. Just hope folks enjoy. I think this picture started from Martin wanting to draw Rei in those overalls and grew from there; this one was all him, I think. The Ami picture is a bit of a weird bonus. I remembered that gag and showed the Hamburger picture to Martin, explaining the context... and he pointed out we could very easily do a joke version of the picture with a bottle so qu...

Daylight Park - Candy, Page 27

And there we are on Daylight, sorry for the delay but quite happy with this one. Next page is the last one of this chapter; been a fun one that people seem to have really enjoyed but it's kind of taken a lot out of us. We'll give more details soon but planning to do some slight shakeups in regards to how we do Daylight after this story's wrapped up, nothing gigantic but kind of some overdue changes we've been wanting to make. Either way, yeah, this one was fun. Had this dynamic in mind for awhi...

Expecting Different Results

Daylight'll be running a day late, apologies for the delay but we figured would make this one available on the Story Access tier as a make-good. It'll be up on the 2nd for sure so look forward to that, sorry for the holdup. It'll actually be interesting to see how this one goes over. We've been wondering about trying something a little more ambitious with Evangeline here pretty soon and if this does well it'll probably help us commit to going ahead and diving into that.

Pre-Champ Page 5-2 (Night Light)

Heh, kind of posting this one at the finish line but wanted to try and get one out this month. Am pretty happy with how it turned out, do tend to enjoy these fight scene pages even if they do tend to be pretty long.

Filing Error, Page 14

Hey, got another in for the month! Actually probably going to do one more update for May before the month is out so keep an eye out for that. This one's actually been sitting drawn for a couple days now, got held up by the need to do the dialogue reacting to the outfits in the middle panel. Adam took care of that part and drew the bottom set of them; was kind of a fun little aspect to collaborate on when ordinarily I kind of take the lead on this project on my own.

Bright Happy Banner

THIS was a humbling experience.... Yeah, dunno if we've mentioned this on the page, but Martin and I are now roommates sharing an apartment, and he managed to keep this 100% secret as a birthday surprise for me, kicking out an absolute ton of adorable toddlers ready to be shown off. So many of these cuties just made me so happy to see and made the day feel special. I was kinda ready to just view this as "eh" day, but seeing this made me pretty immediately happy. Can't even pick a favorite, so m...

Dirtybooks Commission - Epilogue

Heh. Yeah, recall this bit, folks https://lance-the-young.fanbox.cc/posts/8978402 Yeah, here's a sequel. Bring Light's stuck here for eternity, he's.... having a bit of trouble assimilating and letting himself enjoy the new experience. At least he's got Misa there to keep him company forever and ever~

Punch It Up

Been meaning to submit this one for awhile and thought it'd make for a good end of month one. Really loved Punch Line, should either watch it again or get around to playing the game, have had it for a long time. Was a little split on if this one needed dialogue or not but ultimately decided it worked fine without it. We've got at least one more Punch Line picture sitting so look forward to that, it's not a series we hit often but I usually like how the results come out.

Dirtybooks Commission - After The Coffee

Hey, tie-in to a movie neither of us is very likely to ever see, why not! Yeah, we happened to have this commission sitting so felt like a good time to post it. That last one did pretty well so hope everyone enjoys.

Erika's New Perfume, Page 22

Heheh... Yeah, and this is kinda where we get to a scene entirely new for this adaptation; Erika coming to her little sister Sarah for training. We knew we wanted to expand the project a bit in the retelling so this was naturally a fun little excursion to go on. The silly body language is what made this one. Just think the final result is so fun and cute.

Dirtybooks Commission - Bed Time Tim

And here we have what was easily the winner of our poll! Kind of fun given how Tim hasn't even really had much presence in the comic yet that he won so decisively. Thanks to everyone who voted.

Dirtybooks Commission - That's Mathematics

Here's our second place winner! This one's based off a specific one-off gag in one Star Vs. episode, though funny enough we didn't actually use the baby Star design from that episode since weren't super fond of it. Pretty happy with how this one came out at least.

Magic Kindergarten Crew

And here's what got third place in our school poll! This one's been sitting for a long, long time, and I think that shows in the art - it kind of sat mostly-finished for a long time in between us doing other stuff that looked significantly better and then we kind of just tried to retrofit it to look a bit more modern when we finally got around to finishing it - so feels good to get it posted.

Last Defense Daycare

Okay, so this one didn't actually place in the school poll (though it got a few votes), buuuut I finished getting all the endings in Hundred Line the other day, we have another picture sitting with the series anyway, and I want to talk about it and gauge interest in it so we're submitting it as a bonus! Kind of rushed to get this out on time for the occasion. All in all I loved the game - for all the trepidation I had on it from the previews I kind of just quickly started gelling with it and I'...

Daylight Park - Candy, Page 26

Heh, this one was some good dumb fun. Kind of a simple page but good bit of slapstick of Mitch just being pulled in on this just due to the proximity of things. Do always doing jokes like this with him.
