EARLY ACCESS: Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon || Boss Designs of Elden Ring #5

NOTE: The audio on the intro is broken because of Some Fucking Reason (seriousy have no idea why that happens), but the rest of the audio should be working, and the intro will be fixed in the final version.

Let me know if you spot any spelling or editing mistakes, or swears I forgot to censor!

(SHORT) The Evolution of Zelda's character design

Patreon has a video upload feature and I want to test it, so here's an early access preview of a short that's going up on the shorts channel soon-ish.

CONV/RGENCE: A Bad League of Legends Story

Riot Forge has had great success expanding the League of Legends universe so far, creating far more interesting and immersive experiences with Runeterra's vast roster of champions than League of Legends itself is remotely capable of.

But they had to have a miss at some point. CONV/RGENCE: A League of Legends story is burdened by its own subtitle, struggling to make something meaningful while the League of Legends cameos and universe hang on to it awkwardly, getting in its way and making...

EARLY ACCESS: Every single gen 2 Pokémon review

I recorded the last of the Pokémon reviews today, and decided to put them in a compilation and upload, to be ready to go live on the main channel when the final review runs on the Shorts channel.

But in the meantime, hey, here's a little supporter perk for ya! You get to see them early!

EARLY ACCESS: 6 champions SAVED by Legends of Runeterra

Here's a video discussing the changes that Legends of Runeterra made to some underappreciated and neglected champions and just how much better these characters can become with just a little love.

It is also my ode to Legends of Runeterra, a little "send-off" to its first three years, now that it looks like Riot is seriously deprioritizing it as a product. Riot aren't gonna kill it, but I don't feel like it'll be quite as explosively creative as it has been anymore.

The Many Meanings of Bloodborne (early access version)

EARLY ACCESS! Also, AT FREAKEN LAST! A whole year overdue, but I still got there in the end!

The PDFs mentioned in the video are not yet quite complete for download, so you'll have to wait on that until the video premieres for real. The edit is MOSTLY done, but let me know if there are any segments that seem scuffed or voiceover bits that don't quite work. I recorded the VO for this over a period of literal months apart, so it might be a bit inconsistent.

EARLY ACCESS: What's the deal with Renata Glasc?

An early access version of What's the Deal With Renata Glasc for you!

This video might get a sponsor on it before it goes public, so there will most likely be a different upload for when it goes public.

Let me know if you spot any editing mistakes!

The consequences of AI art (early access)

The subject of AI art is en vogue, and my brain too has been consumed by the interminable discourse about the subject.

So, here's a video about what AI art is, what it does, how it works and what the consequences of its wide adoption will be if we do not act decisively to curb its worst effects

Riot's MMO will be influenced by the League of Legends multiverse

I've wanted to try something shorter, easier to make and more... well a bit more shallow, in its way? Kinda in the same vein as the list video I put out.

I love doing the big hour-long videos, but it also does burn me out a bit.

Let me know what you think!

EARLY ACCESS: Top 5 possible successors to ARCANE

Decided to try and do a fairly simple video, a little bit of a list, which is also just an excuse for me to talk about some of the Cool Shit™ that exists neglected within the League of Legends IP and which could use the bump of a proper, serialized story to flesh them out.

It's also kind of an experiment to see if doing these sorts of videos to fill the dead space between bigger projects is a good idea or not. If it tanks, I'll have my answer, hah.

Patreon rewards delayed for May

I've had a really nasty cold which led to a bit of a lung infection, and while it's mostly cleared up, my voice is completely shot and I am coughing every five breaths.

It's not the rona, I did get tested, it's just a pain in the ass. 

The constant coughing gives me a constant headache and a lot of exhaustion and I have been all but unable to work on anything for most of the month at this point.

I don't know when I'll be able to offer Patreon rewards this month (I've go...

Update from the Big Move

I am safely arrived at the new place. Everything is in boxes, everything is a mess, I have no idea where half my stuff is in the boxes and the heating hasn't been turned on yet (I'm getting that fixed today, god willing).

The place needs some work and a bit of TLC, there's a lot of old fixtures, a lot of worn down details, but it's going to be good. For the first time in my life, I have an office (or I will have an office, once I actually unpack it).

Thank you all for t...

Changes coming to the Patreon (+ 2022 updates and plans)

tl;dr Patreon Patch Notes

Please leave your feedback, comments or ideas on reward changes in the comments below if you have any.

If you are unhappy with any of these changes, or feel you didn't get what you wanted out of supporting the Patreon, refunds are available, and I fully encourage you to cancel or edit pledges so they fit your desires. Do not support the Patreon unless it is worth it for you.

Reminder: claim your patron rewards

Hi! Just a reminder that if you want to use the Patreon rewards, you have to message me to claim them - whether it's character design feedback or video topic requests. I have unfortunately very limited free time and a lot of work always piling up in front of me, so feel free to ping me more than once to jig my memory. It does not annoy me, and is in fact helpful to me.

Also as a general note, I will probably update the reward tiers by the end of the year, and change a few thing...

Remember to claim your rewards for August

So, pledges have (mostly) processed for this month, and I feel like I should remind those who want them to claim their rewards. 

If you'd like to ask questions for a Q&A, get feedback on a character design or suggest a video topic, please send me a message, or leave it in a comment down below :)

Character design critiques

I need to update the Patreon page a bit, but I'll post it here now:
If you're in the $10+ tier and would like my feedback on a character design you (or a friend) is working on, send me a message on here about it and I'll respond as soon as I can with thoughts.

Only one per month, mind you, but send the message anytime you like, whether the 1st or the 30th :)

Discord settings got messed up

Something got screwed up in Patreon's settings that caused it not to give people access to my discord. I think I've fixed it, but I can't be 100% sure. If you recently got kicked off the server for no reason, or if you didn't have your correct Discord role on there, that was why.

You may have to re-claim the Discord role reward on the site manually, but please let me know if you need help getting back in, or if something isn't working right.

Patreon pushed a tax update - what you need to know

Hi all. Patreon has pushed out an update to their payment and charging system that includes a sales tax for SOME patrons. As far as I know, it only applies in the US, and its exact value can vary from state to state - apparently it's between 1-10%.

Patreon are laying that charge on you as the "customer" as it were, so for some of you that might mean an increase in your monthly billing across everyone you support. If you need to discontinue your pledge or lower it because of this, you sh...

State of the Patreon (important update)

Hi. Been a while since I posted here.

So, first of all, COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on the world, including on people's incomes, and since I've already had a couple of apologetic messages from people about cancelling pledges, or not being able to keep up their support, I think this should be said:

If you need to cancel or lower your pledge for any reason, no matter what it is, please do so without feeling guilt, and please do it as soon as you need to.

You Got A Friend In Drancleic | SONG | Boss Designs of Dark Souls II

You can download an MP3 of the cover on this post as well :)

I'm not sure I'm 100% satisfied with the pacing in it yet, so it might get tweaked along the way, but this is what it looks like for now. Complete with a "plz no spoilerino" warning up front lol
