Daylight will be a bit late.

No gigantic holdup but we've been a bit busy, next installment in the Kayda story will be up either late this evening or tomorrow depending on how it shakes out, sorry for the holdup.

Lulshi Commission - Magical Oversight Page 7

More fun with Kayla, always welcome. Kind of moving this up a bit but probably a good idea to do so, we have two more pages of this drawn at the moment and they were drawn in very close proximity to each other so probably going to need to spread these out for a bit.

This was going to be a Zelda thing as a tie-in with the Game & Watch, but we didn't have the time to finish it with some other issues going on at the moment. Might try and get that up at some point before the month is ou...

Dirtybooks Commission - Last Surprise

We don't exactly have any GTA or SMT pictures waiting in the backlog, but we figured Persona 5 was close enough to call it a tie-in! Always fun to work with. Still keep holding out hope for a Switch port.

Nic Waterfill Commission - Little Heroines

Wow, it's been FOREVER since we've drawn Wonder Tot. She's so friggin cute too, really pops with what Martin's doing with the padding, shading and eyes in this picture. ^^ Great shot of her, was very happy to get a commission involving her.

Captain Marvel looks okay. I recently had to draw her a few times more and was able to perfect her groovy haircut. You'll see what I mean eventually.

And also the mom from Sky High is here.

Annakatan Commission - Pouty Goku

Again, the SS4 pajamas are the main appeal here. It's a form that you can really appreciate how different it is from Goku's other powered-up forms. Even if GT's not a great show, I'd rank the 4 form easily over 2 and 3 in terms of a good-looking, well-executed transformation.

But yeah, here he is looking extra cuddly being berated by offscreen Pan. ^^

Daylight Daily - The Dragon's Ascent, Part 2

Yeah, we were a little tired of the old template we were using for the illustrated stories, so I asked Martin if he could make a new one; he came up with this great replacement that nicely fit the Storybook feel we'd been aiming for with this set-up. ^^ Meshing the pictures and text together flows very naturally like this, and it keeps Manga Studio from chugging or freezing while the pages are put together.

But yeah, Thomas and Kayda both show that they want to help people, and despit...

Kiwi Commission - Bowsette

QUESTIONS!
1. Which color scheme is better?
2. How cute are those clown-car diapers?
3. How much later to the party could we be?!

ReLIFE Changing Questions

Heheh... Yeah, Chihiro is just innocently asking for some help from Arata, both characters from ReLIFE. .... The unflinching casualness did a lot to make this funnier. ^^ That and there's something just cute about her walking around with that thing like that. Like, "Hey, can somebody like... do this?"

Legends Commissions - Dragons and Fate

This was a pair of mis-matched commission. ..... All I got. Been trying to submit this for a while, hope you guys like.

Dirtybooks Commission - Wotch Competition

God, I need to bunker down on commissions this week.... Everybody waiting, it shouldn't be much longer. Here's a quick picture of the Wotch gang in the meantime. ^^ Funny, second picture we've done of Cassie tonight.

Daylight Daily - The Dragon's Ascent, Part 1

This is the story of Kayda, a character we've been planning things out with for a long time and have found ourselves quickly very fond of. The entire story's been written already and will be posted in parts during the break between chapters of the main comic. 

Shading will be added later. We've been wanting to try a new format on these but didn't really have time to put it together right now so part 2 will likely look different and then this one will be refitted to the new format f...

A Nagato Yuki Production

Heh, yeah, just some goofy fun with Yuki. This one's been sitting for awhile just waiting for us to throw a background on it so good a time as any to post it. Probably be the last picture with Yuki for awhile, we do have something else sitting with her but it's unfinished and a ways off.

Anonymous Commission - Sora and The Crew

Heh... We've got a LOT of Kingdom Hearts commissions sitting. There's two more in this particular set, and we're already working on another one. Hope you guys'll enjoy when we get to posting more.

So Sora got in. Who knew, eh? ^^

Legends Commission - Samus Dress-Up

Heheh... Yeah, this was a very fun little Commission we did for Legends showing off Baby Samus. We had it sitting around waiting to be submitted, and with Dread coming out tomorrow it felt like this was the right time. Samus modeling various outfits, much to her.... Well.... Dread. ^^

Heh.... So you guys remember this one here?

God, that could b done so much better, right? Well, here it is. ^^ Martin re-did the background for a start, trying to make it look more like it did on the show. Added the heads then and tried to likewise get them more show accurate.... Just tri...

Daylight Park - Uncharted Territory, Page 16

And this is the last page of this storyline. Really happy with how this whole thing came out and this one in particular; we did the journal thing as a bit of cutting corners to make up for having a really busy weekend, but think it wound up coming out very nice and really hoping it goes over well.

From here we're going to be taking a break from the main Daylight comic for a bit while we work our way through posting a new side story about a girl named Kayda. We've been very eager to intr...

Going to be running a bit late on Daylight.

We've had a really busy schedule the past few days so not had time to get it out yet, should be up later this evening. It's the last page of the storyline so we're really hoping everyone's going to enjoy what we have in mind.

It's Normal, We Promise

Heheh... Yeah, this was one I loved throwing out. Promised Neverland is a really cute anime once you get past the terrifying central premise, so we had to do something with the cast. We started with a picture of Emma and Martin suggested this premise.

Phil wet the bed and so Norman, Emma and Ray are cheering him up by "revealing" that they're really babies. For older siblings to do this for a younger one this just felt so natural and.... Well... Wholesome. Which, again, feels WEIRD wi...

Paper Erika HD

This was a random thing I did for Adam's birthday, sort of a redo of this old picture -

https://www.deviantart.com/lance-the-young/art/Paper-Erika-656771533

Wanted to try more directly mimicking the aesthetic of Paper Mario than that did. To get Erika's look down I essentially started at doing her in the style of Fire Emblem Heroes and then made adjustments where needed. .....

What is the Secret of Your Power

I believe we first did this just after I finished playing through Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, would certainly explain why it was on our radar. Very fun game, would recommend it. The main thing I remember about doing this picture is spending a long time trying to get the trees to a point where I felt satisfied with the coloring on them and never really managed it.

What Spell is THIS?!

Heheh.... Yeah, Negi just can't get a break from us. Attempting yet again to cast a spell winds up making him padded yet again. At least he seems to be getting a T-Rex plush out of it. That, the hand hauiling his old ones away, and the one that seems to be scolding him are all touches that really put this over. That and the dinosaur-padding, always a fun diddy.

Daylight Park - Uncharted Territory, Page 15

Shading will come later on this one, have other work we need to get out tonight or would do it now.

Very happy with how this one turned out; you might notice that in this page, moreso the second half of it, we started working on overhauling how we do face shapes and trying to give them more dimension. Very much a work in progress but we're really happy with it.

Dirtybooks Commission - Microgame

We'd meant to submit this as a tie-in to the new WarioWare but we'd forgotten about it until we'd already posted the previous picture so here it is now instead! We should really do more WarioWare pictures, series has a great cast to work with.

I Know What You Wanted

When looking at School Rumble drawings on Patreon, be sure to be in a well lit room and don't get too close to the monitor!

This was done as kind of an experiment with trying to really mimic the show's shading style. Pretty happy with the results, we've been eager to submit it for a long time.

Top of the World

This one's weird to look back on, not been too long since we did it but think there's already a lot of room for improvement. Still think it looks pretty cute though. Very much recommend the game Celeste if you haven't played it, think it's on Game Pass if you have Xbox though I played it on the Switch.

Daylight Park - Uncharted Territory, Page 14

This page was a little weird to write. The original form of it was actually a couple of panels longer but felt like it was lacking focus; shortening it and switching around some of the events of it made it feel much more directed in a clear direction I think. We think it came out very cute so hopefully everyone's going to enjoy this one.

Haunted Gosh Darn Nursery

Golly gee willikers, who doesn't love Ghost Stories, that gosh-darnedest most fantastic show about those sweet heavens innocent rapskallians having the rip-roaringest time with  the ding-dongiest ghosts Japan has to offer? Good Golly Holly, that's one great, wholesome piece of Japanamation for the whole family to enjoy!

.........

Honestly, Ghost Stories is up there for one of my favorite anime, and not just for that one dub. Felt great to do a group shot for it. ^^
