Weekly Update - 10-30-23

Part of the reason I want to stop numbering these update posts is because the way Patreon changed how posting works. Previously it was all one page, so I could add the tag and check the number of update tags and just use that in the title all from this same page, but now that they've split it into two pages, I have to hit Next, add the tag, check the number, then navigate back to this page to update the title. It's not a big deal, just kind of an annoying workflow thing.

Taisuko Delving - HR

Uploading the HR largely because I'm ready for a new phone background.

Taisuko Delving

I've not yet grown tired of drawing this character. This is also a fun challenge for me, trying to draw something like this, and to draw it in such a way that you can (hopefully) tell what's happening.

Undergrounders, or 地底人 (Chisokojin) as they might call themselves, thrive in the labyrinthine tunnels beneath the surface of Kuserra not because they are excellent diggers, but because they are capable of squeezing through narrow or collapsed passages with great ease. They are impressively flexible, and can squeeze their whole body through any hole that's wide enough to accommodate their skulls. Additionally, the soft light given off from their eyes combined with a hypersensitivity to l...

I'm really happy with how those first two panels turned out. Got a little lazier towards the end, but all things considered I consider this page a huge win.

Weekly Update - 190

At some point I might need to stop numbering the Weekly Updates. I'm not even sure why I started that in the first place. No one is ever going to go back and read all 190 of them. Nor am I ever going to go hunting through them and be all like, "hey you guys all remember the Ramble I had way back on Weekly Update - 176? Good times, that!" They are literally just my way of saying, "hey, I'm still alive, how are you?"

Anyway, as you might be able to tell from the preview image, this next p...

No Sketch Today

Yeah there just isn't one. Sorry. Definitely not a new one at God Slayers Comic. Definitely not some tasteful fan-service of a character that doesn't exist. Definitely. Trust me.

You know it makes me a little sad that Taisuko isn't likely going to have a bigger part in this comic series. But I'd rather not inflate the cast any more than I already have.

Writing song lyrics is really hard, turns out. Pretend like this is a good song that Max is singing, then give props to all the real-life music creators out there who are truly amazing.

Comic This Week? Sure! Probably, why not?

Drawing: Page 175...? I dunno, what day is it even. Yes, 175.

Playing: Cyberpunk, other stuffs.

Volume #1: No new updates from the publisher this week, I assume we're still waiting on the new version of the Layout PDF?

I had the overall CONCEPT for this page in my head a long time, but getting it just right proved more challenging than I initially expected! I hope you like it.

Let's all give a warm welcome to Kenyon Masse, the newest Redtail here in Kuserra! They've been a persistent participant on our Discord for quite some time, and finally got their tail painted!

Comic this week? YES!

I'm feeling much better about how it's turning out this time around, and it probably only needs a couple more hours of work, so it'll definitely be up on Wednesday. I even have a head start on Page 175, 176 and 177 as well! Though the order of those pag...

Riley and Kiera

Raj suggested we see how Riley and Kiera first met.

I sketched a few versions, but it wasn't... super interesting, since it was probably Riley just waking up from her coma while Kiera happened to be around, so I decided to draw one of their early interactions in the weeks to follow.

Not sure why it's so hard to think this week. But it is! Yay.

Comic This Week? I'm honestly unsure. It's... in a state. A state of being incomplete. It's a cool page, I think, conceptually, but I'm honestly struggling with the proper layout for it, and moreso than last time, I'm sorta feeling like I might want to keep it in the oven a bit longer. I may want to walk it back tomorrow to the layout stage, get everything looking all lined up nice and proper-like, but if I D...

Weekly Update - 186

So we popped over to Vegas this week to give my husband and a couple of our friends some much overdue R&R. What does that mean for a comic this week?

Well, I planned ahead!

I put in some extra overtime last week and got the comic about 95% of the way done, so we're good to go this Wednesday.

We're actually getting back ON Wednesday, so the comic will probably go up that afternoon or evening.

Comic this week: Yes!

I wanted to show this off cuz I'm messing around with a new background technique today and I think it's turning out kinda neat! Though, depending how close you look, you might not... actually... notice any differences from what I normally do. I realize that now.

Effectively though, it's a little more detailed, a bit quicker than what I'd normally have to do to achieve this same level of detail, and, at least I think, it creates a backdrop that looks like it includes locations you might ...
