Oof 💦

These are gonna be late--I may have underestimated the details on these two. I'm very sorry about this! I'll keep working to get these out by next week, for sure.

In the meantime, the weekend reveal for yesterday's teaser is still on track! 💖

🤔 What could I be cooking up here...?

You'll find out this weekend, but feel free to guess! 😉

Progress Report: 4/26/20

I know, I just made one but I just had to share the inks made for another postcard art I'm working on! My goal is to release this and the high five in mid-May, close to the continuation of Bandit Revolver. 😌 Wedding Dress!Noct will release in June!

Progress Report, 4/24/20

Figured I'd give you guys an update! I'm working on the next series of Postcard Arts for Bandit Revolver, annnnd I'm working on some FF7R fanart. I'm not sure if I'll make prints. Depends on if anyone is interested?

Proofs of some of the first card arts are on the way--I'll be posting those soon! 💖

WHAT'S IN STORE FOR YOU GUYS?

Okay, so as you guys may know by now, I'm officially on leave from work until May 11. Yay! So, for the time being, I'm focusing on getting content made--Bandit Revolver is being put back on track and while I intend to have it return to the public on May 17th, I'd like to start Ep 1 sooner, though it may be between May 5-10. I will definitely keep you guys posted.

So, what am I cooking up at this time besides Bandit Revolver?

I'm working on some of the Noctis/Prompto short stori...

Postcard Arts, Vol.1E

Just like I promised, here's the last of the first volume of the Postcard Arts! This illustration is exclusive to you lovelies on Patreon (and will be available to the public ONLY as part of the physical set, and even then the design will be kept secret, huehuehue)!


The second series will go live starting in late May (mid if I'm REALLY on a roll during my leave from work!). In the meantime, please look forward to some special comics and the return of Bandit Revolver! I'll try to cr...

Postcard Arts Volume 1-D

As promised, I have the first of two new postcard arts to share with you guys! I admit; this one is my personal favourite so far. I think it's because I too want to do a sleep reading comics and listening to Garbage, hahaha.

The good news is that I'll have these go into production very soon--patrons in the $5 tier and above will receive the set!

The next one will drop either tomorrow or Saturday. Stay tuned!

Postcards Volume 2 Drafts

Wedding Noct notwithstanding (Noctwithstanding?), seems Volume 2 has a more Promptis theme going on 😆

New Postcard Arts next week

Hey, guys! I know content has been largely non-existent in recent weeks, and for that I apologize. I've been working on side comics, but have been finding it more difficult to work on them due to the stressful nature of my job (for those not in the know, I work in retail, and I've been having to work out in a pandemic, which does put me at risk of infection. You can imagine how great I feel about that). However, I'm still doing my best to work on this content. I will be rolling out these shor...

POSTCARD CARD VOLUME 2 PREVIEW

I'm finishing up colours on the first postcard artworks, but I figured I'd slip this sketch for the second series because I really like how it turned out. At some point in the comic Noct's going to talk about how he was almost married, and HOO BOY that's gonna be a whole thing. But for now, here he is, in a wedding dress because honestly he'd have looked much cuter in a dress than some stuffy suit. And also because fuck gender norms.

Mundane Domestic Downtime: Rough Cut

Hey, guys! I apologise for the silence on my end this past week--I'm still being worked pretty hard in retail-land, had some bad anxiety the other day that kept me from being able to focus on working on comics...but thankfully, the last few days have proven to be very productive as I've been hard at work drafting and inking pages for some Promptis shorts that will be coming your way soon!

You may notice darker lineart on some of these pages--they're already inked and ready for the next...

BANDIT REVOLVER ON HOLD, OTHER COMICS TO COME!

Hey, guys--if you're not following my twitter over at @junkyardshadi, I have recently announced that Bandit Revolver will be put on hold as I want to work on comics that are more on the "feel good" side given the situation going on with the C-Virus situation. These comics were intended to be exclusive to you guys, but as a lot of people are having to stay indoors, I'm opting to make them free to the public. I hope you guys understand!

Of course, you guys will get to see the comics firs...

POSTCARD ART VOL.1C

Oof, had to get this one out with the quickness! Winter's almost over (thank goodness, I hate cold weather, lmao), but I still wanted to draw a cute and dorky winter piece for these two. The scarf is based on the scarf worn by the Winter Edition Chocobo plush! ♥

I'll be asking for signups for postcards with the release of the fourth card. I am so sorry I hadn't mailed them out as of yet, but everyone who wants a set of the cards will get them! Thank you for bearing with me! The next ...

BANDIT REVOLVER PROLOGUE, Page 19

The final page of the prologue! Finally! You're likely wondering why Noct would just shank a clearly non-threatening MT. I promise this will be explained down the line.
Also, this is the original page 19 *lol*

I'll be sharing the cover for the first episode early next week. Pages for Episode 1 will start in early April--I apologise for the wait; I want to be able to prepare consecutive updates as best as I can for you guys! But I will be dropping more post card art...

BANDIT REVOLVER PROLOGUE, Page 18

We're now in the present; and with it comes the Noctis I think most people came to see in this comic! ^_~

So, fun fact; this is NOT the original page 18, but a redraw because I lost the original page--and this will be evident that it was drawn later when you compare it to the artwork of the rest of the chapter! Seriously, I have no idea where it went. If I do find it, I will share it with you guys, but for now it remains in the same dimension that Noctis keeps his fishing pole.

BANDIT REVOLVER: PROLOGUE, Page 17

This page was a doozy. It's only two panels, but it was a lot of work!
So many buildings, so many people. And the freakin' Citadel, OOF. One of my personal rules when I worked on this comic was that because it's primarly taking place in a city, that I needed to be able to draw different people in the background. This does mean more work, but I hope it's something that people will look upon and appreciate.

I've been dealing with severe depression lately, which has had me questioning...

POSTCARD ART VOL. 1B

Oof! I know it's been a little dry this week compared to last week, and I do apologise for that. The good news is that the second postcard illustration is now available!

I'll be sending this and 1A out sometime in March--once the physical product is in my hands, I'll post about signups for anyone interested in receiving theirs!

The next pages of Bandit Revolver are taking a little longer than anticipated, and admittedly part of this is due to my working on a little more merch (...

Progress Report, 2/17

Okay, so I missed last week's report, but given the deluge of updates, I'm sure you guys understand! 💖 These are the drafts for some of the next series of postcard arts. The Noctis on the upper left will be on holographic paper once completed!

The first card will be sent out to you guys closer to the end of the month! I'll post details very soon!

BANDIT REVOLVER: Prologue, Page 17

Third in a row! Once again, I appreciate and am grateful for how patient you guys have been with me in all this. This and the next page were among the most difficult to render due to the number of skyscrapers, and in the case of this page, Magitek dropships and MTs! Even better: I only had planned to draw two dropships in the first panel, but decided to add a third to show a better sense of just how many were being sent.

The next page will go live sometime next week! As I said, it's b...

BANDIT REVOLVER: PROLOGUE, Page 16

Page 16 is now live! This one required some fine detail in areas, and once again you get a better idea as to how widespread this is. That banner in panel five was a pain in the ass to detail with that Lucis emblem, hahaha

Page 17 will drop tomorrow, and you'll see just part of why this (and page 18 when that drops) were delayed because you want to talk about detail, OH BOY

BANDIT REVOLVER: PROLOGUE PAGE 15

THE WAIT IS OVER and I am so sorry to have kept you guys! It's been nearly two months since page 14 went up, and again, I am so sorry. December was a rough time at my job (not necessarily because of the holiday season, but largely due to a lot of work drama that ultimately left me overworked), and between then and now, I've been dealing with a lot of depression. The good news is that I'm getting back on track!

Page 16 will go live tomorrow, and 17 on Thursday. 18, 19, and 20 will go li...

OKAY, another postcard WIP

I felt like this needed to be shared because I love drawing Noct in silly hats

This too will be part of the collection, but for Volume 2 😉

Progress Report 2/5

Hey, y'all! This week's progress report is here! The Prologue is nearly nearly finished as I'm working on some ludicrously detailed backgrounds (because I can), and I'm inking another piece of the first set of postcard arts! The second completed postcard art will go live this weekend!

POSTCARD ART VOL.1A

Hey, guys! Thank you for your patience and for bearing with me during my sabbatical. I return with the first illustration for the Bandit Revolver Postcard Arts! Noct with his own squishy Prompto plush!

Volume 1 will consist of 4 cards, all of which will be physically available and will include a Patron-exclusive fifth card once the first volume is complete!

You can, of course, still download the high resolution artwork in the meantime!

Updates will be delayed for a few days...

I'm sorry about this. I have content prepared, but I'm holding off on updates for the time being.

I'm very depressed and I feel incredibly discouraged.

I'm so sorry.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Whee, new decade, new year, same ship! This is a few days late, largely because I had...problems at my day job...
I'm still way behind on Bandit Revolver updates, and I do apologise for that (again). I've got some vacation time coming up, and am going to be dedicating that time towards the comic, so updates will definitely be coming!

In the meantime, feel free to download the artwork, if it suits your fancy! ♥
