hrrrghhh finally got some Silver Rank+ pages! I've been sitting on these mostly finished for the past few days but I've been trying to play catch up with my own personal challenge of two pages a day, so instead of actually polishing these off I've just been sitting on them, rip

2022-05-11 06:10:54 +0000 UTC View PostI was working on a page when I just realized I have room for another cameo call! This one is uh, a little bit on a tighter schedule than usual since I forgot to put out the call until just now. But luckily there are two different scenes in need of cameos, so if you miss the immediate cameo call, there's still another scene that I'm not getting to right away! So onto the calls themselves.
Cameo Call #1 - Closes May 8th @ 10:00 PM PST

Some doodles I've done for Nothing Gold Can Stay while I work on writing the first chapter! And I gotta say, I forgot how hard it is to conceptualize first chapters lmao?? Getting characters to interact in an organic way when they're only meeting for the first time is an absolute nightmare, I don't miss it. Anyway, meet our two main leads, tentatively named Dandi (our golden girl) and Phoebe (prickly antler mcgee)!
These doodles are arranged in reverse chronological order! So newer stu...
in an effort to catch up on my buffer, I've challenged myself to draw 2 pages a day until the public release of chapter 6 B) on day 2 of this streak! (watch me immediately blow up lmao)

skeleton man! half man, half skeleton!
Why worry about going to work at 5 when I can crank out two pages in a night B)
don't worry bestie I also get nightmares when I have to think about learning new things
Pages were a little slower to work on during this lineless segment, but I like how they're turning out so far! But I am looking forward to getting through them so I can get back to my normal pace lmao

The expedition is coming quick, and Team Maelstrom is trying their best to keep up with the pace. But even within the prestigious guild lies a few bad apples... While on a mission to restore the guild's food supply, the team takes on a new mentor, and struggle with deciding who they're able to trust and who will spoil the batch.
EDIT: Cover and chapter blurb have been added! Finally, I was running out of time before the pages go public haha

Oh hey, it's been a while! I apologize for things being a bit quiet on my end- I recently started a new job that's very physically demanding, so a lot of my free time has just been spent resting. If that didn't eat enough time, I've also been in and out of the doctor's office while trying to get treatment for a sleep condition! So yeah, a lot of snoozing time lately.
On the bright side, I've been getting strong enough at work now that I'm not nearly as exh...
Hey hey, it's time for the first print run of Dielle's Wish!
First, some quick legal jargon! This print run will be not-for-profit, meaning that the cost of each book is relegated strictly to what it takes to produce and ship. I, the artist, will not be receiving any revenue from this. OBT is a derivative work, and I don't wanna risk getting in hot water legally. But I do get the satisfaction of holding a physical copy of something I made, so that's more than enough pa...
Hey there, as I mentioned previously I'm putting together the print run for Dielle's Wish! I'll be accepting not-for-profit print orders soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to put out a quick announcement regarding acknowledgements in the print edition! By default, all current patrons (including untiered patrons) will be included. If you'd like to change your handle/name for the print run, or if you would like to opt out of having your handle printed in ackno...

The song Dielle sings here (as well as in Star Cave) is actually the English localization of the song, "Chiisaki Mono"! You can listen to it here.
... And that's the end of Dielle's Wish! It was lots of fun doing a much shorter, concise story compared to the longform format OBT usually takes. There's a lot I want to say about this story, but I'll save it for a future Backstage Pass segment! I'm gonna go...

Believe it or not, the longest part about these pages was the handwritten text for the song lyrics lmao
Which come from a real song! Specifically the... ending credits for the pokemon movie Jirachi - Wishmaker lmao. I loved this song as a kid, and still do! You can listen along here if you want. And hey, now we're about a third of the way through the special episode! There may...

Do you ever wish you were born something else? A victim of unfortunate circumstances, a young Dielle decides to take fate into her own hands to find her place in the world.
... It's begun! Now with Chapter 5 stuff all out of the way and scheduled, I've started working on our first special episode! No particular schedule for when these pages will release on Patreon, just as I complete them/feel like posting. I've been doing a pretty juicy page a day pace so far, maybe I'll be ab...

OBT Pages 17-22 v. 2.0.0 Patch Notes:
- Fixed an issue where Chapter 4 stinger indicated escort mission that did not initiate; extended escort mission sequence.
- Fixed bug where Malachi forgot conversation tree with Inigo by end of chapter.
- Readers can now trigger cutscene indicating Malachi and Yohann's history.
- Cooldown on Confusion by Yohann reduced.
... Okay jokes aside, I was looking over the entirety of Chapter 5 for OBT, and felt like something was missing. Afte...
