Patreon Exclusive: Lala Micro-H Game base assets

"Ass"ets, get it? 

Yeah. super intricate pun, I know.

ANYWHO, as promised, here's the preemptive group of assets prepared for Lala's Microgame.

You may notice some slight inconsistencies, like the lack of a shadow beneath her body, but that's intentional. If she is going to be moving, I need to make the shadow mobile as well, and that's gotta be done through After Effects, so I didn't bother doing it since it wouldn't look well once animated. Most of the "glowing" or other l...

Patreon Exclusive Sneak Peak Tomorrow!

Hopefuly.

The preparations for the Lala animated micro-H game are running up smoothly, and the base finished assets should be ready by tomorrow. At least the initial set.

The variations on the set will take slightly longer, but I want to see if I can get the basics done by tomorrow as to show the static image in full color for all of you, so you get an idea of how it will look like once finished, roughly.

Of course, the details from static image to full-developed animation may va...

QSW Challenge Finale! Lala! - WIP

Welp... Just a lil' something so you can keep your mouth watered till the full animation comes out...

... Tell me it's not worth the wait.

Fate out!! 

Sneak Peek Tomorrow!

Finishing up Lala's base sketch for the micro H game ;D

I'll have her sketch ready and up by tomorrow.

Stay tuned!

So... This was one fucked up week xD

Short version: I was totally cut off from the internet for five days. Just got my connection back now. All I was able to do was work on the Original Sin's game script (the narration, not the code) and play NieR Automata until my brain hurt. Sorry for the massive delay, I'll get back to working as intended on the QSW Finale winner now that I can actually check the fucking references -.-

Long version: So... Yeah. This was one way to start t...

QSW Challenge Day 5: Aoba!

 And moving onto the second to last winner of the QSW Challenge (yeah, I'm cutting it one short. I'll explain later, but I basically wanna replace the last two quick sketches with a single one more developed piece), we have a wild Aoba Suzukaze in her...

... Ok, not quite her natural habitat, but those are overrated, anywho...

Now hold on tight for our last run, because we're gonna have a big ol' bangin' finale with a buncha new rules, and I expect everyone to participate :D...

QSW Challenge Day 4: Ryuko!

 There was some potential for "scissoring" puns here, I'll admit, but I didn't wanna over-reach.

Guess you could say the idea... Didn't "make the cut"...

Eh...? Eh.......?

...

Ok, I'm gonna go sleep now. Don't worry bout it...

Quick Smut Week Challenge, Day 4: Ryuko Matoi from Kill la Kill!! 

(Btw, there are 3 versions of this lovely piece. Check my other, more adult-permissive sites for the full goods :D)

QSW Challenge Day 3: Suu!

Well... This one... I mean... Hrhm... (.-.)

So yeah, this one was interesting... I mean, at first I intended to just make it a quick sketch in one day (as the challenge kinda demanded), but when the sketch was done, I didn't like how it looked... So I reworked it a tad, then... Added a stripper pole (because of course I did), then I began to make it more... sleazy-ish... Then I realized that I'd need some basic colors to make it look more "alive", but the lighting was off... Then the lineart d...

Just a small head's up!

I just wanted to personally welcome and thank everyone who has recently joined to help my humble craft (you oldie ones get nothing though... Just kidding :P)

Apparently, Patreon has been tinkering a bit with the whole notification system, so I was getting my alerts for new collaborators in the wrong inbox and found out about it just now.

In any case, just as a reminder not only for the new Patrons here but also for the older ones who haven't utilized it yet, do remember that if you ever ...

QSW Challenge Day 2: Alex!

I'm not quite sure how, but I managed to make the cut for the 2nd day of this Quick Smut Week entry :P

Granted, it's far from what I would have liked. I'm pretty sure I could have done much better with this one had I got the time... But that's not the point of the challenge. I NEED to improve my speed a bit, so I can only work within a single day. I gotta stop before I run out of time and move onto the next one (BTW, next journal to pick a winner gonna be up as soon as I upload these), and...

QSW Challenge Day 1: Dark Magician Girl!

 And I diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid ittttttttttttttt! I made the cuuuuuuuuuut!!!

I swear, it's 6AM but I don't care. I did it. I managed to fulfill my promise of getting this one ready in one day T_T My hand hurts. My eyes hurt. My tablet hurts. BUT I DID IT!

Quick Smut Week! Day ONE! Dark Magician Girl!

I'll put up the next day's journal up when I wake up, for now all I want to do is sink in my bed T_T

...

Oh my God, I have to make six more of these......

Mag Prime - Doodle

Well now, I was thinking of doing a full Mag Prime piece as an homage to my longest used Warframe (coupled with my most used gear, even though I don't use the Dethcube anymore)... Buuuuut just as I was getting finished with the general sketching, some pretty urging family issues blasted me in the face out of nowhere (It's ok though, everything was solved as neatly as possible. It was just a false alarm, so to speak) and I had to spend a couple days many miles away from home... So you ca...

Aika's Model Sheet - Original Sin Project

 And coming down the pipes, we got our next model all cooked and southern-belle-ish!

Boy, do I always squirm when it's time to work on Aika of all people... I really have an issue of not being able to settle on a particular hairstyle for her. Luckily, I think I'm straddling a relatively coherent line between her older style and her newer, more punkish look, but the angle in question here was a bit tricky, because most of the shaved segment of her hair rests on her right side...

Aika's Mod. Sheet Sketch - Original Sin Project (Patreon Exclusive)

Whew, and here we go, we got ourselves a full-body sketch model for Aika's sprite... The tallest, most southernbelle-st tattoed administrative right hand of the group (She also stirs some mean Martini).

What do you think?

Now! Moving onto colouring! To ADVENTURE!

Fate out!!

Just a quickie headsup

Sorry for going silent for a day or two there, guys... I just was sick as fuck xD I tried to start drawing Aika's model and realized I had built up a nasty fever, so I had to take a few days off not to die, y'know?

Anyways, now I'm mostly recovered, so I'll get to it right away!

Cheers!

Leona's Model Sheet - Original Sin Project

And BOOM! Here we go! 

Second model for the Original Sin VN Project in full caramel-y color of everyone's favourite, gun-totting, short-fused, bodiliciously nose-punching gunslinger... Leona!

You wouldn't believe how tricky it is to modify "parts" of an already designed model... It takes even more time and care than making a new one from scratch altogether -.-

But it was so worth it!

Next in line... Aika!

Fate out!! 

Just a little heads-up!

Just a little update, guys: I'm still alive and working.  

As you know  by now, I'm working on a VN project with the Original Sin cast, and I just don't want to half-ass the character sprites, so it's taking some time (modifying parts of an already made model actually takes more time than working on a new one from scratch)

Leona's model should be ready in 1 or 2 days tops, so it'll be around soon!

FATE OUT!!

Leona's Mod. Sheet Sketch - Original Sin Project (Patreon Exclusive)

Alright! Moving onto our next Original Sin cast member, here we got a wild Leona in her natural habitat... Which is basically chewing gum, kicking ass and being an all-around guntotting, nose-breaking hottie :D

We'll see how color brings her to life soon... I love me some badass ganguro gals, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Fate out!!

Nym's Model Sheet - Original Sin Project

And now, with a new PC up and roaring... *drumroll*

We're back on bussines!

Anywho, here's the first character model sheet for Nym! We gotta go through a lot of these before I can even get started with the game per se, so I'm going for Leona next!

BTW, the next character sheet sketches will be released exclusively here on Patreon. I gotta give you guys some special love (don't take it the wrong way.)

Leave your thoughts down below and have a good one!

Fate out!!&nbs...

Good News! New PC Rig Arriving Tomorrow!

One more day and that beastly thing will be here... Finally! Animation won't take 60 hours per frame again xD

Keep in mind that I'll have to re calibrate my tablet and pen pressure and angle, rework SAI settings and all that, so getting back to work will probably take me an extra day after the rig is here, but I had almost finished Nym's full color character set before my old PC blew up anywho, so either way, the set won't take too long to be ready for publishing.

Anywho, sit tight!

Shit got real though...

 Hey guys! So, I'm kinda stealing a family member's PC to write this because things took a sour turn a day and a half ago...

Remember how I kept complaining for a year or so that my PC was a fucking toaster with a keyboard attached? Well... Seems the thing didn't take a liking to that description, because it finally gave out on me. My PC won't boot anymore. The only thing working is the power source, but the core and graphics card just went dead for good this time... Nothing to be don...

Nym's Costume Sheet Sketch - Original Sin Project

 Well well, considering how much of a push the whole "short VN project" about the characters of The Original Sin got in the polls (both the public one and especially the Patreon one), I decided that, independant of it being a thing or not (I'm still testing the waters to see if that would be something that most people would find interesting), I could try my hand at making the characters' costume and expression's sheet, kind of to give you all an idea of what's in my head for it.

I dec...

Nym's Exp. Sheet Sketch - Original Sin Project

 (Important: These are basic conceptual expressions. Some of them may or may not be used in the end product, depending on the necessities of the script, while some may be absent from this sheet. These are just examples.)

Alicia's Animation Future

As I've said before in the previous posts, I was wondering about where to take it from here once I posted Alicia's animation loop. There are three main possibilities (as showcased by the options in this poll), and each one of them comes with it's own package of pros and cons (It's mainly an issue of more effort = slower production, while quicker alternatives = less substance).

However, I decided to open a private poll for all of you here, considering the choice will ultimately affect you ...

''Storm's Eye'' - Alicia's Animation Cycle (GIF Preview)

Finally, we're here :D

I got so many: "Please finish Alicia's microgame" messages for so long... I just decided to make another animation featuring her, just to throw another gallon of gasoline to the bonfire xD

I'm quite proud of this one... I love how the rain effect/window dropplets came out... That took a while to learn, but it was totally worth it.

Now, here's the thing... This lovely little animation can lead into one of three different paths... And I'm letting y...

First HD Frame! (Patreon Only Sneak Peek)

Aaaaaaaaaaand we're finally on the last stretch for the full animation cycle!

What you're looking at is the first frame of the already developed animation :D

I'm using a really experimental technique with this, and it's truly just... Absurdly performance-intensive (I'm using the highest color settings possible for the most detailed degree of quality possible)... I'm not joking, I'm literally cutting the 24 second loop into 720 maximum quality JPG frames that will be later stitched ...

Base Colouring & Focus WIP (Patreon Only Sneak Peek)

Well here we go! Things are starting to actually take a more definite form.

Since I've said I was going to post some steps on the progress from sketch to full video (yes, I'm planning to make this scene animated), I might as well explain a bit what I've got in mind for this one.

As you may be able to tell, the whole linearting/basic paintjob is already done (to an extent) at this point. This is actually the most complicated (or dare I say... Erratic) part of my drawing process, because i...

Vanishing Point Study Sketch (Patreon Only Sneak Peek)

Hey guys! I've decided that maybe it would be nice to share with you some of my WIPs and unfinished works, since you are the ones helping me stay afloat ;D

I won't make all my WIPs exclusive for Patreon, but I will, every now and then, restrict the release of a few ones just to you all as a show of gratitude while not undercutting my own working schedule.

ANYWHO, this is what I'm working on right now. It's quite the ambitious study in vanishing point technique for background design...

''Squigly!''

Well... This was supposed to be another one of my "Go! Challenge" takes for the sake of speed practice, but...

Of course, being me, I didn't knew when to cut it out, so I ended up going balls deep -.-

I'll try to restrain myself next time, promise!

Fate out!! 

''Sweet Wild West'' - Animated Cycle

IMPORTANT NOTE: This gif may take some time to load. Sorry about that, no form of compression was looking good AND saving space, so I ended up picking the heavier yet cleaner option.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand here we are! By popular demand, a good, lovely piece of Jackie's eye-applecandy! 

(Yes, the dad puns are alive and well in the kingdom of Fateolia. Glad you noticed.)

This one shouldn't have taken as long as it took, but some RL stuff required my ass out of the country for a few da...
