A break? Yupp, I'll be taking my first official hiatus from Hunters in the month of November. That means no page updates here on Patreon, or on deviantArt and Webtoons. Since I'll be spending half of next month travelling or vacationing or recuperating from jetlag, it kinda makes sense. But it should resume to normality by the time December rolls around!
This comic page was a lot more dialogue-heavy than some of the other pages, especially in the last panel. Laruk is suddenly asking a l...

Yes, yes, I know that these are originally livestreams, but I feel I have to edit down the material into shorter episodes for those who might later want to view me not struggle so much to get used to the controls and platforming.
In all seriousness though, I absolutely love Hallownest so far and this game. Forgotten Crossroads is utterly massive and I did have a fun time exploring it and getting used to the combat system. It can be annoyingly precise at times, but figu...

Not the normal kind of game that I play but pushing myself out of my comfort zone is not a bad thing at all!
Press X To Not Die is a title I had heard of but knew nothing about (and apparently there's a sequel out there as well!), and while not my first choice for a good time there were a whole bunch of laughs on my part! The acting in this is hilarious, in a good way I might add, that adds so much entertainment value to such a short and simple story.
It's a bit longer than some o...

You might want to consider ending your pledge before November charges start up.
That's the simple version of this post.
My sister and I will be travelling or abroad in Portugal between November 16th and December 2nd. I will not have a computer; that means no recording, accessing, or editing any video content for 2+ weeks, and no resources for any art content either.
That said I will still be throwing up occasional posts on Patreon, scheduli...

When I was first watching the VanossCrew back in 2019, some of the first videos I watched were of the Irish YouTuber we all know and love not making any sense whatsoever, videos put together by YourFavoriteCompiler. Their videos were anywhere from 10-15 minutes each, with the most recent video being from August of 2018.
In my most recent poll on my YouTube channel regarding compilations (which I know wasn't even very recent compared to now), people seemed very enthusiastic about m...

Page 150 is finally here! I cannot believe I've made it this far! Every 50 pages really is something special to me since I have spent more than 8 years working on this comic.
A little more dialogue heavy perhaps, but there are only a few more pages of that before things get arguably interesting and more kinetic compared to the last couple of pages. Still, the fact that somebody unexpectedly shouted Nysha's name can't be good, right? Right..........?

Last year I participated in a co-creator event called Thankmas, hosted by Jacksepticeye. I streamed 2 separate times in the span of a week last December, streaming for a total of 13.5 hours with a goal of $500......
.....I only managed to raise about $400. A decent amount, but nothing compared to the grand scheme of things.
However, despite that little setback this year I will be returning to support! Jacksepticeye has announced his ambition to raise $10 million

When classifying my characters, I combine one of 50 +adjectives and one of 50+ nouns to give a general characterization of an individual within a story. This is a system I have used for some time now, and while it doesn’t specify every character trait there are characters that follow certain “tropes” as it were. It’s something that helps give me a good basis, especially when in the process of developing a character.
The number of combinations is endless even though there are onl...

So I recently came across a number of discs in my drawer not long ago, comprised of some games I used to play a lot as a kid...........then an idea struck me!
I've got 4 of my old computer games from the early- to mid-2000s (yes, from 15+ years ago!) and I think I'd like to play them and see if I still got the same skills and the same hype from back when I was a kid. Question is: do I stream my old favorites, or just turn them into separate videos??? I'll let you guys decide on that!

A patron recently requested I give this game a try, a 2-D platformer called Nefarious. I played it for 2 hours and shared the raw gameplay with Otterlings......but now I've started cutting down material and am sharing the first episode with all my patrons!
This first little part was just the intro sequence to get me used to the game and its mechanics (helpful since 2-D platformers are not my specialty), but man was the story of this game full of expectation subversion just at t...

Is it late at night? Yes. Is it delayed by a day or two? Yes again. But I was determined to finish this page tonight so here we go! The first page of the month gives all patrons access to the in-progress images this time around.
Normally I would say I hate backgrounds again what with having to match them all the time. Granted I do my best to match them to previous panels, but overall I was actually less focused on the backgrounds this time, mostly to make the deadline I set for...

I do keep a close eye on my Patreon, checking it multiple times a day to see what people have commented, how I'm spacing out the posts and tiers, what new people have pledged support......and those that have ended their pledges.
Keeping the support of people doesn't have the biggest monetary gain, as I figured it wouldn't, but keeping engaged with fans and those willing to pledge is important to me.
I'm not too pushy, but in this one instance I will be: I implore that whether you ...

My bad for this being so late! I'll end up adjusting the public release date for October 2nd instead of 1st.....but at least you get early access here!
I had intended on completing edits for last two Season 9 South Park reactions, but I decided that these took precedence since they take longer to complete; I imagine you can expect early access to those reactions tomorrow at the very least.
It took me longer to keep track of Laruk's wounds than it did the background, honestly! But ...

Quick and random post for ya, but I have noticed that while plenty of my posts will get read / watched and may get an occasional like, don't forget about comments!
I really do want to engage with my patrons as much as I can, as I do provide what I think are a lot of cool bits and pieces related to all kinds of video, art, and writing projects.

Seriously. The background for many of the panels was the same based on angle, and therefore was easy to "copy" the backgrounds. I didn't fully realize I had even done so while initially drafting the page!

I wasn't expecting to finish Heart of the Peak as quickly as I did. But due to some headachey issues, I spent an entire afternoon and evening drawing instead of editing videos (the latter would not have helped). And surprise, surprise, I finished another big art piece as a result. Bright side!
With Tranquil Bench, I was drawing and coloring on paper much larger than I was used to at the time. It was also the first entry of a new series of pieces I didn't even know I would start, but tha...

Having a duration longer than any of its predecessors and taking the longest break between publishing, this episode shines above the rest thus far (in my opinion that is!). It showcases some of the best animation I've seen from th...

In case people were wondering.......no I don't plan on making this a recurring thing! But, I at least want to at times let people know the kind of rewards they might be missing out on if they don't pledge.

The last page of the comic ended on quite the cliffhanger, didn't it?!
Well now at long last you get to see what happened when Nysha turned around....I'm actually very pleased with how this page turned out since I have paid close attention to previous pages to ensure that the consequences are shown even if these pages take a while to complete.
And it's definitely something to remember as well for the next bunch of pages! Luckily I think it'll be easy to keep track of.

Everyone has their own methods of writing stories. Some will plan, others go with the flow. Some change their story with every revision, or start with the climax and work from there, or use lists and details to figure out their story. Some methods work better for people than others. What I will talk about is mostly my own interpretation of how I think about stories and characters, how I plan them, and how those ideas evolve.
