The State of EVERYTHING

Hey all! I don't have the time for a video update but I wanted to be clear on the status of everything. All my art, Nazo and original, etc.

Since the pandemic kicked off in the states, I have been working from home and the silver lining was that "Welp, at least I can work on Nazo before or after work since I don't have to commute!" And for a little bit, that was the case, I was seeing actually voice lines get used and spoiler-y scenes get touched. I also found time to do OC/other fan a...

Quick Animated Action Sequences

Hey all, so clearly Nazo isn‘t the only focus of this patreon, especially given how long this is going to take (really need to remove the sonic inspired gfx soon!)

I haven’t got to work on Nazo for awhile due to tech issues and a collab project (which is almost done!) but I've been considering...while I work on Nazo, when I upload stuff that’s not-Nazo related (pin up drawings, Sol & Luna stuff, etc) how would you feel about small animated or story boarded clips uploaded when ...

Drawing Tablet Sent Out for Repair

So my Mobile Studio Peo has been having USB/power issues and I had to send it out to Wacom to be fixed. This can take as long as a month so art will be slower.


Nazo hasn’t been worked on in a few months recently due to another small sonic project I joined on (I think you’ll like it when it comes out haha) but this repair is putting back my non-Sonic art, Nazo and the smaller. sonic project.


Thank you for your patience!

Looking toward 2019

Hey all!


“2019”, jeez, I was incredibly underestimating and wishful thinking when I gave that estimated date. Didn’t see myself working on this for years and years but after the storyboards for finalized it ended up being just that!


I want to make more time in 2019 for more progress, definitely more streams when I’m inbetween jobs too. December was a super unproductive month for Nazo because of holiday business, a new project at my job, and to be hone...

No more tiers and free February month

Hey all!

Just a reminder that I will not be charging for Feb due to being crazy busy with work and other stuff. Going forward I’m going to be removing the reward tiers so that I can consistently upload content without worrying if one tier’s content was lacking.

Pretty much in treating this like a glorified tip jar. If you want to donate $1, $2, $10 whatever amount you’re comfortable with, it is always very much appreciated

Pay-what-you-want Starting in January

Hey Patrons!!

So as I get near the the completion of the storyboards, I realize that due to spoilers and the work available to show wasn’t as plentiful as I’d like near the end of Nazo haha. I also haven’t had a lot of non-Nazo posts because of this crunch to get boards done so I can ANIMATE

So to avoid the $5 and $10 donors from losing pinyon value, I’m going to change this patreon in to a “pay what you want” exclusive art center for the
Time being. I might change i...

Beat Sonic Forces

Hey so a store near my job got the game early. Blasted through it nonstop for in the nigh. About 5-6 hours? I’ll have a video about it in in the public soon but prior to me getting the day 1 patch, I enjoyed it more than lost world but definitely not as much a Generations

Also Wrath of Nazo will definitely take place prior to these events and I think Nazo is stronger than infinite haha

Slow Month of May

Hey! While I have been working on the final act of the storyboards of Nazo, I didn't get that much time to upload that much content this month (I started a new job!), so I am not going to charge for the month of May. After June 1st, I'll reinstate the tier system and get back to uploading more! I know I providing content for the $1 and $5 tiers, but nothing for the $10, so nobody should be charged for this month.

Thank You 1 Year Anniversary!

Hey everyone!

So at this point Wrath of Nazo has been in development for almost a year and a half, if I include the time it took to make the intro sequence. I started this Patreon lsat February and our patronage has been incredinly helpful!!!! I have scheduled a bunch of new speed draws and walk through for the coming weeks but I wanted to outline what I have done/plan to do with the funds I've made this year.

-Thanks to everyone, and a few who went massively further-than-beyond $1...

Slowness

Hey everyone! Nazo production will be slower for the month of October because on to of my 9-5 gig I have freelance due at the end of the month so I may not get to upload as much as I would like but I'll make sure every patron tier gets something in October!

Spoilers?

Hey!! I haven't been dead I swear, but the scenes I have been working on recently are VERY spoiler heavy. How much do you guys care about the content I upload of its a potential spoiler?

Thank you all for an explosive day!

Really appreciate every share, like, comment, criticism and of course--Patron I really want this Patreon to go beyond Nazo. I am trying to be very careful to not step on the toes of copyright holders too. But anyway, WHATS NEXT? Storyboarding the rest of the film! I am trying to make these tight to speed up the animation process, and it every important because this step is where he fight scenes--the bread and butter of Nazo--are planned
