BANDIT REVOLVER ROUGH CUT, Vol. 8

Greetings, lovelies~! It's the 15th, meaning it's time for this month's update on what's going on with the FFXV fancomic reboot!

This month is a little more action-oriented and is more or less a do-over on Noct and Prom's 1st encounter, with it being played a little bit more like the wildest meet-cute. Their encounter in the old continuity never sat well with me, to be honest, and I feel like this one helps better set the tone for their relationship/partnership.

Now, going for...

PROGRESS REPORT 2.09.25

...it really has been two months since the last progress report, sheesh!

I've been a little busy the last two months--lots of new merch coming, the monthly Copic challenge, and comics! Let's go over what's happening:

MERCHANDISE: There's going to be a shift from fighting games to Final Fantasy, Like a Dragon, and...OCs. 😮 Regulars of my stream will tell you that I've been cooking designs for my OCs lately, and this won't be stopping anytime soon! I plan on in...

MERCH UPDATES vol. 04

Less than 2 weeks since the last Proofs were shown, I got a fresh batch for y'all! The Yakuza/Like a Dragon charm proofs and the Reina earrings proofs are here!

The LaD charms will be double-sided acrylic! The next round will be available in a future update--stay tuned!

I should have used the ACTUAL earring mock-ups for Terry 😅 I'll be showing the mock-ups with the post going forward like I did with Reina here!

As of this writing, these are already manufactured and en...

MERCH SHOWCASE: King of Fighters Beans!

Back on the 24th, I showed y'all the proofs for the KOF Beans pins and the Terry Bogard earrings! On the 29th (Last Wednesday), the order was sent out for delivery from the manufacturer Zap! Creatives, who are based out of the U.K.

I received the goods this past Friday 🤯

COPIC CHALLENGE 2025: JANUARY

Hello, lovelies!

I hadn't mentioned in the last update that there was a new illustration update on the way (in my defense, I had been working so hard this past weekend that I nearly forgot!)!

At the end of 2024, I felt I hadn't done enough artwork with my Copic markers--I've made great strides in my digital work in the past year, but my Copic output felt lacking by comparison-I made some pieces I personally think were good, but overall my digital work far outweighed my marker wo...

ART DROP: LIKE A DRAGON/YAKUZA vol 01

Hey, y'all~!

The first round of Like a Dragon/Yakuza stickers/charms are ready to go! This first round features Hana + Akiyama (Akiyama being my fave protagonist from the LaD series), and Kiryu + Goromi! Stickers will be ordered soon, and acrylic charms are underway--expect to see proofs later this week!

A progress report will be coming out as well, so please look forward to that.

As always, thank you for your support!

MERCH UPDATES Vol. 3

At long last! Proofs for the upcoming King of Fighters Beans is here!

First off, the Terry Bogard earrings are in the works--these will have a rose gold post!

Next up are the first round of KOF pins--they'll be joining the Tekken beans! The first set features Terry (of course, Leona, K', Ralf, and Yuri!
You'll notice that the measurements are different between each design. Full transparency--when I order a pin, I request a specific size, and every file I send measures the ...

REWARDS RESERVATION: HOP ON FINAL FANTASY

Finally getting back on the rewards--my apologies for having been so quiet on this front. Merch orders on my end had slowed down as I didn't want to risk any orders getting lost during the holidays (plus I wanted to put aside patreon funds towards larger merch orders post-holiday--much of which are currently in production; proofs for the KOF merch will drop later this week).

In the meantime! If you're interested in getting this sticker, sound off in the comments! I'll be taking reserv...

BANDIT REVOLVER ROUGH CUT, Vol. 7

So...this one's a really light update compared to previous months, and it wasn't planned to be that way.

However, I wound up getting busy--again. I had more commissions come my way (one of which had a tight deadline), merch to design, and a little four-page comic that took up a lot mor...

NEW YEAR'S PROMPTIS COMIC

(Shhhh don't worry about the fact that this is almost 2 weeks late)

So, I've been rather quiet lately...and this comic is pretty much why. 😅 I had hoped to get this done by New Year's, buuuut I needed to spend more time on it (read: backgrounds). But I hope it was worth the wait! It's my first new Promptis comic material in years, and as you know from the progress reports, this is only the beginning!

Please enjoy the comic. There's a progress report dropping this Wednesday, a...

TEKKEN BEANS (round 2)

Greetings, lovelies! We're kicking off the new year with the latest batch of Tekken Beans! Bryan Fury, Lidia Sobieska, Lili, Zafina, Eddy Gordo (without that tired Killmonger cut), and Dragunov join the roster! Pins will be going into production in late winter/early spring!

Also, the first batch of KOF beans have been sent to manufacturing; proofs will be shown once they are received and approved. I will also be ordering stickers (including the "HOP ON FINAL FANTASY" sticker) soon and ...

ILLUSTRATION DROP: HOP ON TEKKEN(?)

Surprise! Or not, if you've been watching my streams 😉

With Clive being the latest Final Fantasy character being added to Tekken, I just knew I had to do the "HOP ON STREET FIGHTER 6" meme (made famous by artist Tetocco), but with my own spin: Noctis from Tekken 7 and Clive from Tekken 8 letting y'all know to hop on Tekken!

Now, I'm aware that Noctis should be about ten years younger because it's more accurate--

However, y'all know my preferences 😛

MERRY CRIMMAS! (ILLUSTRATION DROP)

Season's Greetings, y'all! I've got new artwork just in time for Christmas! I've been wanting to draw this one for a while, but working retail doesn't exactly inspire the holiday spirit 😅
Now that I've been free for a couple of years, I'm more motivated and as such, I bring you FFXV's Gladio in a sexy Santa pin-up!

Please note: the full artwork is available as a download! The preview is cropped because:

BANDIT REVOLVER ROUGH CUT, Vol. 6

Greetings, y'all! It's time for the monthly progress report on my FFXV fancomic. Last month I promised fanservice, so as such here we go! This month I'm giving y'all a peek at the beach episode, which is a one-shot meant to be just for funsies! Since it's a beach episode, it also gives me an excuse to be a little more shameless 😇

These pages are extreeeemely rough--a lot of unfinished backgrounds, some drawings still very rough/unfinished--I've been working on more commissions this...

PROGRESS REPORT 12.9.24

Hey, y'all! Time to fill y'all in on what's going on.

+Comics are coming along pretty smoothly. The next progress report for the FFXV comic drops on Sunday the 15th (and that one is on schedule).

+Adult artwork is also underway. I've shown my editor a few choice panels from some FFXV smut I'm working on; a small preview will be available on here in January. The way I'm going to do this is it will be downloadable only and I will create a special image to indicate that it's adul...

WIP W(H)ENSDAY: HOLIDAY ART!

Now that the pain of working retail during the holidays has subsided, I can share with y'all one of two pieces of artwork I'm working on for the holidays!

First up is Aerith in her "Fairy of Snowfall" garb from Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis! I don't mess with gacha games, but I do like some of the outfits the game has shown (some of you may recall the bunny!Tifa from earlier this year, and anyone who tuned into my stream this past Sunday saw a Vincent fit from that game...oh don't wor...

ILLUSTRATION DROP: Aggressively Bisexual LuNoct

Okay, so this was not really intended to be an illustration drop, but I liked how it looked so much that I felt it would be a shame to not offer a high-res version in some capacity--so while this is publicly available, the high-res unwatermarked artwork is available to anyone and everyone interested!

This came about after looking at photos of Honk Kong pre-wedding photography from the 80s/90s in which couples were photographed in a more honest, "raw" way. One such photo portrayed a cou...

Considering Adding NSFW Art.

Okay, y'all. So, I've talked about how there's gonna be some changes in anticipation of tariffs and the general struggles the Orange Dipshit is gonna put us through once that regime takes office, with more of an emphasis on comics and less on merch.

MERCH SHOWCASE: New Stickers!

This past Tuesday, I showed off proofs for a new batch of stickers--at the time of posting, the stickers were in production!

Well...! They arrived this past Thursday! 🤯 StickerApp, my go-to sticker manufacturer, wasn't playing around in getting my order out!

First up, we have the Noctis sticker--unlike most of the stickers in the lineup, he's on glossy material (whereas the majority are matte). He measures about 5.1 inches (13 centimeters and will be offered as a reward very...

MERCH UPDATES Vol. 02

Greetings, y'all! Figured I'd fill y'all in on what merch is currently underway. I received an exclusive coupon from my sticker manufacturer and took advantage of it! The 1st round of Street Fighter x Tekken stickers and the Noctis sticker are in production as of this writing!

You'll note that the Noctis sticker will be a bit larger at 5 inches/13 centimeters, and will be on glossy material rather than matte. I think the colours pop more on glossy--and given how colour-rich the Noctis ...

BANDIT REVOLVER ROUGH CUT Vol. 5

It's a day late, but the latest progress report is here! The first three pages were posted a few months ago, but there's a reason I'm reposting them--these are the first 10 pages of the comic. Rendering is currently underway (so many sylleblossoms...).

So, I mentioned in the previous post as to why this was late--another reason I didn't list was...well, I wanted to put a little more effort into establishing that there will be backgrounds. 😅 I know it's kind of a silly reason to del...

RE: FFXV Fancomic Update

Hey, y'all~

Just a heads up; the progress report is going to be a little late this week. It usually goes live on the 15th, this month it will be going live on the 16th. The last few weeks have been very busy between working on the comic, working on commissions, and working on getting merch done (and with the impending threat of tariffs I've been trying to be extra expedient). I apologise and I appreciate your patience and understanding!

I'll see y'all Saturday!

PROGRESS REPORT 11.11.24

...this is gonna be a little different from the usual progress report.

As y'all know, we recently had our presidential election and...😬 We're cooked.

There's a lot of awfulness that will result from this election. I'm going to discuss how this will affect things here going forward.

-Merchandise is going to be affected the most. The Orange Dipshit has plans to enact tariffs and that's gonna lead to money being a whole lot tighter. This is going to drive up the cost o...

ILLUSTRATION DROP: Goodbye Twitter

It was only a matter of time since twitter was bought out by Dipshit Apartheid Nazi that it'd become unusable, and that point has finally arrived. For 7 years I had a side account strictly for FFXV fanart, and while I hadn't updated it in recent months, I had plans to be active once the comic started rolling, but that's gonna have to go to Bluesky.

Originally, this illustration was just going to be Noctis...but since Bandit Revolver is a Promptis work, I couldn't leave Prompto out! I t...

ILLUSTRATION DROP: Maki

This one's a deep cut as far as characters go! I'm a big fan of Capcom games, but I didn't have a SNES and as such never got to play Final Fight 2 (...at least, not until emulation came into the picture cough). However, I did play Capcom vs. SNK 2 where I had a chance to try out Maki, a ninja from the Bushinryu Clan! She's a take no shit kinda woman; my kinda character! I had the urge to just draw her one day, and it took a minute (because I am the slowest artist ever), but I managed...

Holy shit, new art! Despite everything that's been going on, I managed to make time for a new illustration of one of the coolest, dare I say, dandiest vampires in all of fighting games--Slayer! Halloween is his birthday, so I figured that was as good a time as any to get this artwork ready!

Some of you may recall seeing this amongst my sketches earlier this summer! I plan on making this into a large sized sticker (details to come soon)!

MERCH SHOWCASE: Jewelry!!

They're finally here--the first batch of my upcoming line of jewelry!

As part of my goal to move towards more practical wares, I ran an interest check for jewelry, and was pleasantly surprised to see a good deal of interest! So, I got to work on picking out some choice designs (save for Noctis, who was intended as a pendant from the jump), and had them made by one of my manufacturers, Zap! Creatives.

The pieces came out REALLY well!

The metal charms are roughly 2.6 inch...

PROGRESS REPORT, 10/19

Hey, lovelies! Time to fill y'all in on what's going on!

First off, I've received an update on the car, and it's not looking good. The cost of repairs is already gonna be $1400+ (and may climb), and there's a possibility that the car may only be safely driveable for either a few weeks or a few months. I personally don't think it's going to be worth putting in the money to repair the car if it's going to break down soon again--the money's better off being put into a replacement car (tho...

BANDIT REVOLVER ROUGH CUT Vol. 4

It's that time again, lovelies! More progress on my slow burn (in a lot of ways) FFXV fancomic. As promised last month, this month takes a look at one of the fight scenes you'll find in the comic. There's a lot that goes into making these, such as making sure everything flows and then once the pages are rendered I add motion blur where needed to give the action a better sense of, well, action 😗

There's still a lot of fine tuning to be done, but hopefully y'all get the gist of what's...
