FIRST LOOK: Noct and Prom's Exciting Domestic Life (ROUGHS)

So, this month I've begun drafts for a series of shorts that will be exclusively accessible to all tiers that focus on Noct and Prom being boyfriends (I promise Noct isn't nearly as grumpy as the previews make him out to be). These are just a few rough drafts. The comic will be in colour, and will eventually go to print. Higher tier patrons ($10 and above) will be able to get a physical copy of the book, though all tiers will receive a digital copy!

These will roll out sometime in Mar...

MERRY HOLIDAYCEMBER

I'll admit--I'm not all that fond of the holiday season these days, and a large part of it is because I work retail and as such it's hard for me to into the spirit when I'm overworked (especially this year as this has been particularly stressful for myself and my coworkers. It's been AWFUL).

HOWEVER, I still wanted to make some artwork! I asked twitter if they wanted to see Prompto in a onesie or lingerie, and the poll was pretty close, but the onesie won out! Noct was gonna wear the ...

BANDIT REVOLVER PROLOGUE, pages 13 & 14

Hello, lovelies! I'm so sorry for the wait on these pages! I know I promised 13-16, but I've only managed half at this time. For those who follow my twitter ( @ViciousShadi or @JunkyardShadi ), things at my job have been less than stellar. It's rough enough being the holiday shopping season, but there's also been a severe worker shortage with multiple callouts, meaning yours truly has to shoulder a lot of the labour. D: This has left me very tired more often than not. The good news is, the se...

I had a thought 🤔

Since so many people have signed up on recent months, y'all deserve some extra special treatment. I've been wanting to make some Promptis sidestories for a while, and with so many of you here for Bandit Revolver, I feel I need to make this happen! I'll post more details soon--stay tuned!

NEW CHALLENGERS!

Holy smokes! There's been some new Patrons joining up--first of all, Hello! Thank you for supporting me and my comic endeavours! I'll be posting the next four pages in mid-December (hopefully sooner!), so please look forward to it!

I've also updated the reward information for the $5 Super Tier, promoting the upcoming button badge and postcard rewards! I'll be introducing these in January with a new card or buttons every other month. The updated information offers a lot more than the or...

Prologue Cover! (Download included!)

As promised, here's the finished cover art for the Prologue. I absolutely lifted the title from my fave shameless indulgence game, Ryu ga Gotoku OF THE END (Yakuza Dead Souls outside of Japan!), haaaaa

I'll have pages 13, 14, 15, and 16 up in early December! This week is very busy due to Thanksgiving and Black Friday--being in retail, that means I'm working a lot. But my goal is to have these four pages released either at the same time or within days of each other! Thank you for your p...

Prologue cover complete!

Hey, guys! It's a busy week for me as I'm getting into the busy season at work, but more importantly, Bandit Revolver goes live on Friday! I just finished colouring the cover for the Prologue, and will post the scan tomorrow! The next batch of pages are going to be a little slow to come out due to my day job, but they will be coming! I'll be devoting my days off to completing renders for the next few pages, and will post them asap!

Thanks for your patience! 💖

Bandit Revolver Prologue, Pages 11 and 12

Okay, so I know I promised three pages for this update, but as I had a particularly rough week at work last week, I only had the energy and time to get renders finished for 11 and 12, and rather than delay this update another week or so, I opted to just go ahead and post the finished pages. I'll be posting 13 and 14 towards the end of the month, but I will have the cover for the prologue to show by the end of the week! The comic goes live on Friday the 29th, but no worries--you guys will cont...

The next page set will take a little more time...

And these WIPs are why! The top two are portraits for Prompto and Noctis--which will be available as postcard prints that you all will receive for free--and the bottom two are the covers for Episode 1 and the Prologue you have been currently reading! My plan is to deliver pages 11-13 by next Saturday! Thank you for your patience! 💖

Bandit Revolver: Prologue pages 8-10

Hey, guys! I know I promised pages 8 and 9, however I figured since I was on a roll, I'd go ahead and throw in page 10 (to be honest, I felt the entire scene needed to be shown so I made sure to throw 10 in there. Plus, 9 and 10 were easier to render and edit because it didn't require so much motion blur like the action scenes in previous pages, hahaha)!

I'll be working on getting pages 11 and 12 rendered--hopefully 11 will drop next week, but if there is a delay, I'll let you guys kno...

Bandit Revolver: Prologue, Page 7

Coming in clutch, but I did manged to get Page 7 in within the week! Noctis continues to fight his way through Insomnia! The prologue is by far the most difficult section I worked on because of the action, the backgrounds, and just the details for the MTs--you'll note that each one has a slight variation in their degree of disrepair. The things I do for my work, hahaha...

Pages 8 and 9 will be posted together in about a week! Please look forward to it! ♥

(P.S. Language, Noc...

Bandit Revolver: Prologue, Page 6

As promised, here's page 6 of the FFXV fancomic, "Bandit Revolver"! The Prologue is pretty much "Noctis has a Really Bad Day" D: Page 7 will drop sometime next week, and pages 8 and 9 will hopefully be live before the end of the month!

I finally implemented a few new fonts I downloaded, courtesy of Blambot--incidentally, they have font licenses that are free for use for webcomic and indie comics! They've been my go to for c...

BANDIT REVOLVER: Prologue, Page 5

It's been a long week, but hey; I'm dropping page 5 for y'all! Page 6 will go up Saturday! The prologue is very action heavy, so please bear with it until the story begins with Episode 1! ♥

Also, I forgot to save the high-res file for page 4 so guess what I'm doing on my next day off :|

BANDIT REVOLVER: PAGES 3 AND 4

Hey, guys! I'm so sorry for the wait, but the next two pages of Bandit Revolver are now live! Because of my work schedule, I've decided to no longer post this as a preview and just post the comic from here on out. This will not only keep me on track to get these pages finished, but will also keep me on task overall. The entirety of the prologue will be available to download once it's finished!

Pages 5 and 6 will be going up by Saturday at the latest! Stay tuned and enjoy!

Draft for the Key Art for FFXV Fancomic "Bandit Revolver"

I apologise for the sudden stop of updates. I'm still working on rendering pages, but will have more coming in the next week or two! I'll also be posting some Halloween content very soon, as well. For now, I'd like to share this draft for what will be key art for my FFXV fancomic, "Bandit Revolver", in which Noctis poses like Freddie Mercury, because I was definitely listening to Queen when the idea hit.

Thanks as always for bearing with me!

Long week; next pages on the way

Hey, guys! The next batch of pages will be up next week. My job has had me working some days this week, and admittedly I've been really tired. I do have a new Noctis/Prompto illustration coming tomorrow, though! 💖 Thank you for your patience, y'all!

BANDIT REVOLVER: An FFXV fancomic PROLOGUE/Preview!

Hey, guys! So, during the course of this month, I'll be treating you guys with pages from my upcoming FFXV fancomic, "Bandit Revolver"! The fancomic isn't due to start until November 29, so you guys are getting a good 2.5 month lead of everyone else! The complete Prologue will be available to download in October! Enjoy the preview this month!

More art updates will be coming soon, as well. As always, thanks for being so patient with me! ♥

Nocty-Noct birthday art!

Hey, guys! So, as some of you know, the preview for Bandit Revolver will be a bit delayed because someone (me) didn't realise just how much work went into rendering a page. I'll go into further details in a future post.

In the meantime! I have high-res art of the birthday art I made for Noctis, for those of you interested! ♥

Bandit Revolver Pinup!

Hey, guys! I'm still hard at work on getting the preview of my FFXV fancomic "Bandit Revolver" finished, but I do have some new art to drop on y'all: this pinup of Noctis that I made on accident.

I say "accident" because I didn't intend to work on this at all, but after a recent wave of depression and frustration at my day job, I decided to try my hand at rendering something entirely in Copic markers (seeing as how I'm still without a working art tablet, so digital art is still on hol...

Final Fantasy XV fancomic coming soon

Having giving it some thought, I'll be including my FFXV fancomic as a reward soon. I apologize that it has taken so long for me to roll out comics on here, but come September, this will finally be happening! More details will be on the way soon!

Back on my Noctis Bullsh*t :D

j/k I never left it :D
Okay, so I am working on a few Copic pieces as my digital work is more or less on hold. My tablet when and bit the dust, so I tried hookin in another tablet--only to find out that it is not supported on Win10 as it's really old. :| I still have one other tablet, but no USB cable to connect it with...I can't seem to catch a break!

Anyway, here's a soft Noctis. You can download the HQ version, too!

The Jade Struggle

So, a little update on some progress on current pieces! Jade is still happening, albeit slooowly. I'm struggling with some of the details on her costume for whatever reason (fatigue from my day job? The fact my tablet keeps disconnecting? Frustration? All of these?). I still have Kold War Skarlet and Vincent to work on as well. I'll be sure to get another illustration up before the end of the month, and I'd like to get some comics going this month, though with the way things are going at my j...

SUN'S OUT--GUNS OUT!

As I'm fighting with my ailing Wacom to finish Jade and Kold War Skarlet, here's a new piece for y'all to enjoy: Tifa busting out her guns! I'm loving her updated look for FFVII, though admittedly I'd love to see her packing guns that would make Barret go "DAMN!", but hey; that's what fanart is for, right?

I may produce vinyl stickers for this; I'll keep you guys updated for sure!

The HQ version is of course available for download for all you guys! Enjoy!

Hopping on the Tifa Hype Train

Okay, so here's the haps: I love Final Fantasy VII, and I'm (cautiously) hype for Remake. I'm also digging Tifa's updated design, though I felt like taking liberties, namely in the arms department. I posted a different Tifa sketch on Twitter last week, where a user replied "sun's out guns out!" So here we are.

Coloured piece will drop at the end of the month!

SKARLET PACK!

Alright, Patrons! If you're reading this, you qualify to download the Skarlet pack, which consists of a .PSD containing two different hairstyles (with colour variations between them) and two mask styles! These are in high res, and include a note about the unusual circumstance I ran into when creating these files. Download the attachment included in this post! 

PC is back; Also Skarlet!

Hey, guys! So, one of my besties managed to fix my computer (and I do mean fixed--new OS, new processor, new CPU--I can do things like stream art again, yayyyy!)! So, I'm back to producing content again.

Skarlet is (mostly) completed--the main costume and mask/hair variants are done! Kold War Skarlet will go live in about a week as I'm still finishing her up! A download for the Skarlet Pack will drop tonight for all $5+ Patrons!

Thanks for your patience, y'all!

Bad News

So... There's going to be delays on artwork.
My computer ris currently down. I'm having a friend look into it, but until it is resolved, all digital art will be put on hold. Hopefully this can be repaired. I am so sorry, guys. I will keep you posted as best as I can.

Skarlet nearly finished; Jade coming along

Hey, guys--

Apologies for the silence the last couple of weeks--I recently transferred to a different position at my store, and am currently working 9 consecutive days, which is leaving me exhausted. I will have days off coming up, which will enable me to finish Skarlet and continue with Jade! I also have a mini fancomic in the works.
Thank you for bearing with me!

::COMING SOON::

Cooking up some Copic art to be coming soon, starting with Sol Badguy from Guilty Gear!

Evolution of Skarlet

I'm still working on finishing touches on Skarlet (Kold War costume is a little trickier than I thought, plus this work week has been particularly brutal AND my tablet is on the fritz), so for now I hope this evolution of the process will tide you guys over! I often work a lot on the faces as I go, since I want to capture the character's work as best as I can.

I'll be posting an update on Jade and Vincent shortly!
