Progress update

Hey everyone,

Just a small non-Elvensang + Elvensang update, and a bit of info about the upcoming Patreon poll (that will be posted within an hour of this post).

First of all, sorry about the delay(s) with this post and the content poll. As some of you might know, I had been studying for my state exams in January - and I managed to pass 3 out of 4, so it was a relative success even though I'll have to retake the one exam I failed in May/June (though studying for one exam ...

Christmas Image Pack - Christmas theme not included!

Hey everyone,

Here's the promised pack! Bear in mind that they are all in various stages of completion, so expect various stages of sloppiness that I will (do my best to) fix. I'll provide short commentary under each "set".

To kick things off, a reading session with Becky. Not a piece I am very h...

Merry Christmas!

Hey everyone,

Within a few hours I'll be posting the image pack for all Patrons as I mentioned earlier. There are not many pictures and they are all incomplete - far from anything extraordinary, but maybe you'll like the sneak peek. Aside from that, here is the plan for the next several weeks + some thoughts about the future.

Next progress log (in the first week of 2023), we'll have the Sunny vs. Anasteya content poll. Following that, I expect my activity to die down to a minimum ...

Progress update, art talk and art preview

Hey everyone,

initially I wanted to keep this (monthly+?!) progress update fairly short, but somehow it turned into an essay, so I will first give a brief update on how work is progressing for those who are short on time/patience and then delve into a little ART TALK for anyone who might want to read me ramble on about art - and then we'll end things off with a little art preview.

Lately, I've mostly been drawing - with the script outline completed, I can thankful...

Progress update

Hey everyone,

sorry about the delay between posts - I had a nice work opportunity for a few weeks to help me earn some MONEY BAGS. I'll continue working there every now and then intermittently but now that I know what the work entails, it won't be as disruptive to my Elvensang development workflow.

I've spent the last couple of days finalizing the script outline, and now I'd mark it at around 80%+ finished, just because there's a few scenes that I am not entirely sure about, but t...

Test Poll - MC's Melee Weapon of Choice

Hey everyone, 

here's the poll I talked about earlier. It's nothing significant, but like I said - I have a new tool for counting patron votes, so I am looking to see if it works before we vote on something actually important.

Regarding the specific choices:

Spear: A little unwieldy to carry around with a bow, but it's neat to imagine some Prince Nuada / Oberyn Martell fancy spear-fighting.

Elven sword: The typical, slightly curved sword - same one that Amaya has....

Episode 5 Roadmap

Hey everyone, here's the roadmap for episode 5 and some more longterm plans. I will be adding things if needed and regularly updating it, just have to figure out the best place to post it first.

To explain a bit: Script outline is just an outline of scenes - I am usually very messy with keeping notes and have a tendency to never read notes I write for myself, but I solved that with designing a huge table in Word where I keep all relevant information in a very compact sp...

Episode 4 - public release

Hey everyone, here's the public release of episode 4.

Let me know if there are any bugs, mistakes of any kind, and tell me what you think once you've played it. Tomorrow or so I'll be posting a roadmap detailing the immediate plans for the next episode and some more longterm stuff.

Enjoy!

Progress log #20 - Survey results and FETISHES (and some other IDEAS for the future)

Hey everyone,

while the public release of Episode 4 draws near, I thought I would share with you the results of the feedback survey (and an impromptu ESSAY about fetishes, future ideas and more).

As of now, you guys submitted 914 surveys. Most of them did not come with the open field questions answered, but I was really happy to read the 200 or so that wrote out a message to me directly, whether it was to provide some more in-depth feedback or to simply share support. Thank you fo...

Progress log #19 - last one before next episode release

Hey everyone,

just a small update to let you know that the release date of the next episode is growing closer. Right now, I'm fleshing out the final details of the dialogue, adding music and working on some last minute artwork. The early patron release will be ready in a few days. That's the big, important news - below you'll find some extra rambling about the development process.

On the topic of artwork, I managed to draw a lot less than I would have hoped for bu...

Progress log #18

Hey everyone,

just a quick update about the work I've done last week and the work I plan to do this week.

Last week, I've finished a couple of pieces and started work on the two major scenes that I mentioned earlier. Though I've made some sketches, I decided to put the scenes on hold until I finish the "story segment" that I mentioned in the previous progress log. Writing those major scenes in question might rely on the outcome of the story segment, so I want to finish that first ...

Progress log #17

Hey everyone,

At this point, I think we can all agree that it's better I dispose of the "weekly" prefix for now. Nevertheless, work on the next episode is still underway and the only thing that's left to draw are two major "scenes", each consisting of several pictures, and then a little story segment that will also consist of several pieces. In this progress log, I'll talk about the story segment a bit and then show you a few sketches. Though they are only WIP (with the exception of the...

"Weekly" progress log #16

Hey everyone,

sorry about the lengthy delay since the last progress log. I think I tunnel visioned a bit in my drawing endeavors and, well... a month has come and gone. I am making good progress on the artwork, though - I will not be giving any estimates as to the release yet (not until I can give a deadline that I know 100% I can meet), but I dare say that it is going well (most of the time, at least).

In the last week, I've finished some 3 artworks fully (and started many others...

Weekly progress log #15

Hey everyone,

I've been busy drawing like a madman, so I don't have much to share this week except for this Trisha illustration; it includes a little change in her appearance - a "hime haircut". I'm prolably going to make a few other adjustments to her design, primarily changing the choker - either a different accessory entirely or embellish the choker somehow. The piece above is a WIP still, I...

Weekly progress log #14

Hey everyone,

I am sorry about the delay with the progress log - I had a slightly unpleasant distraction keeping my mind occupied for a few days, but it should be all good now. This time around I'd like to discuss exposition and some of my struggles with it - I will keep it fairly brief (if nothing else than to exercise brevity relevant to the topic itself). It might not be a very interesting topic, but hopefully someone will enjoy it nonetheless.

When it comes to exposition, I ha...

Weekly progress log #13

Hey everyone,

this week it will be quick (under 200 words like I said last time) and sadly picture-less (I'll fix that next time)! I'm done with most of the writing - I will still gradually work on revisions, but my main focus will transition into drawing from now on. A bunch of the art is already finished, but I would like to add many more pieces - maybe even too many. I think I will simply start with highest priority art like story scenes and the "core" erotic/romantic scenes, and the...

Weekly progress log #12 - the ladder of importance & an addendum to Sunny's canon romance

Hey everyone,

This week I'd like to share my thoughts on the "ladder of importance", i.e. the hierarchy of how much screentime characters get and the factors that influence it. On top of that, the post also includes an addendum to the topic of Sunny's unavoidable romance from two weeks ago. Because of how long it turned out to be, I've included a TL;DR summary for the sake of those w...

Weekly progress log #11

Hey everyone, 

I'll keep this progress log much shorter than last week, just to give your eyes a little rest before I tackle another potentially lengthy topic next time - the "ladder of importance" which dictates how much attention will be given to characters (i.e. how many scenes they will have) depending on how involved they are in the main story. But more on that next week! 

...

Weekly progress log #10 - Sunny's canon romance

Hey everyone,

Like I said last week, I'd like to dedicate this week's progress log to the topic of Sunny's romance. As you might know, Sunny's romance is mandatory/canon and I would like to discuss a few reasons as to why that is, as well as my thoughts on the potential problems that come with it – and my solutions for them.

To start things off, Sunny as a mandatory romance was not alwa...

Weekly progress log #9

Hey everyone,

I don't have much to share in this (week late) weekly progress log, aside from the fact that I bought a new drawing tablet, so I've spent much of the last two weeks drawing quite a bit. I'd like to increase the text:image ratio in the next episode and the drawing tablet was a great investment for that. The tablet I had been using was a little bugger for 50 bucks and tho...
