::BANDIT REVOLVER Episode 7.2::

Good morning, Noct...!

...yeah, he's not exactly a morning person. Not for a lack of trying on Prompto's part, either!

The alarm tone is that of the sound Carbuncle makes--if you're familiar with Platinum Demo and/or the Moogle Chocobo Carnival, Carbuncle "speaks" to Noct via phone, and sometimes will use an emoji. This is a nod to that (now, is Carbuncle actually real...?). Shoutout to my twitter moots for suggesting the proper onomatopoeia!

Special thanks to Seren for ...

BANDIT REVOLVER Episode 7.1

It's finally time! Episode 7 opens on a montage, as we see Prompto going through his morning routine. Seeing as how Noct's meeting him at 7am, there's a good chance Prompto woke up between 4:30-5:00am 😨 Of course, he probably wanted to wake up early as he's very excited for  ̷h̷i̷s̷ ̷d̷a̷t̷e̷ his meetup with Noct!

I hope y'all are ready for this episode! Thanks as always for your patience and support! 7.2 will drop on Saturday!

BANDIT REVOLVER EPISODE 7 COVER

The wait is finally over! Episode 7 is upon us! This is a rather short episode, but I will tell y'all that it ends in a way that will have you clamoring for Episode 8!

The first page drops Monday!

PROGRESS REPORT: 12/26/22

Hey, lovelies! It's been a while since the last progress report, and it's everything to do with the continuous Bandit Revolver updates over the last few months.

Which, let me ask y'all; how did you feel about seeing the pages spread out over the month as opposed to getting them within a week? Do you prefer the most spread out updates, or would you prefer getting them all within a week? Let me know!

Currently, Bandit Revolver is scheduled to continue January 13th, 2023! I'm also ...

::BANDIT REVOLVER Episode 6 COMPLETE::

Hey, lovelies! I apologise for the delay on this as I'm usually on top of getting the complete editions out shortly after the episode's conclusion. The holiday season is often less than kind, plus I had additional editing to do on this episode in particular.

The complete version is available for download, including the draft for this episode's cover (which you'll see between it and the final cover, some changes were made...)!

Thanks as always for your support of Bandit Revolver....

CRIMMAS NOCT!

I don't enjoy Christmas for a myriad of reasons (and believe it or not, retail is not at the top of my list. It's not even in the top 3, lmao), but I felt like drawing a little something for it anyway!

So here we have Noct done up in proper attire, with a li'l gift, and his naughty list. Prompto is the whole list.

Also, cat ears and a tail because why not :3

If you are interested in getting a mini print, please comment below! I can't guarantee that you will get them ...

::BANDIT REVOLVER EPISODE 7 COVER DRAFT::

As promised, here's the draft for the cover for the next episode of Bandit Revolver! As you can see, things are showing promise between these two! Episode 7 will end on a new character reveal, so please look forward to it when the comic returns January 13th, 2023!

The Complete Bandit Revolver Episode 6 zip will be available on Tuesday!

::BANDIT REVOLVER 6.12::

Episode 6 concludes with an emotional gut punch. Pay attention to what "Vrompto" (He has an actual name, I promise) is saying here. I won't elaborate further on that 😉

I hope y'all have enjoyed this year's run of Bandit Revolver! I will be taking a break from the comic until January 13th, when Episode 7 begins! A preview of Episode 7's cover will drop Friday, tho!

I'll be posting a progress report Monday to let y'all know what's around the corner. Thank you for your patience ...

::BANDIT REVOLVER Episode 6.11::

So first off, I owe y'all an apology--this page was supposed to drop yesterday, but due to numerous factors (largely depression because this time of year sucks and exhaustion from my day job), I was unable to finish the page in a timely manner.

But it was only a day's delay; yayyy!!

I suppose I should explain what's going on here. Or...maybe y'all would prefer to figure it out as the story unfolds? That will take a while to get there, though...
But yes. Once again we see Noc...

BANDIT REVOLVER 6.10

Well, I hope y'all enjoyed the fluff, because it's time for angst, yayyyy

There's not too much to say about this page, other than it establishes that yes; Noctis still has an apartment. It's fairly messy, but not nearly as bad as his high school days 😆

The Bandit Revolver discord is live...sort of. It's still a work-in-progress (it's rather chaotic at the moment as I have never done this before and BOY does it show), but if you're interested in joining, hit me up at ViciousSh...

BANDIT REVOLVER Episode 6.9

Surprise; y'all are getting this page a day early! 🥳

If you were to ask me what's the moment that "seals the deal" on Noct and Prom getting together, it's panel three specifically. Yes, Prompto's acceptance is deliberately worded as though he's accepting a very specific proposal. It's all pretty much a lot of pining from here, so brace yourselves!

Page 6.10 drops on Tuesday!

BANDIT REVOLVER Episode 6.8

Realising Prompto's more than likely gonna keep going into dangerous spaces for his urbex photography, Noct does the sensible thing: offer to go with him.

Prompto may or may not have been sincere with that last question. 😤

Page 6.9 (nice?) drops next Friday--with the Moment Promptis is Basically Happening 🤭

BANDIT REVOLVER Epsiode 6.7

...I take back everything I said about action scenes being the most annoying thing to edit.

I tried something different for this page--since I knew the background was going to be the same across all thee panels, I figured rather than draw it each and every single time, I'd draw the one background separately and paste it in during editing.
It...mostly works. There's a lot I could have done better, and I'll very likely do additional edits on this page before the complete edition of ...

BANDIT REVOLVER 6.7 DELAY

Hey, lovelives; quick update about the next page of Bandit Revolver--I had promised to deliver it on Tuesday, but truth be told I need a few more days to get it done. This past weekend at work really kicked my ass (Friday we were raided by a whole-ass high school I'm not even kidding, and I was reeling from allergies Saturday), so needless to say I'm exhausted. I've also been prioritising commissions as I needed to get a few done before next Monday.

The good news is that 6.7 *will* re...

BANDIT REVOLVER Episode 6.6

Prompto makes his confession here--his being in the more dangerous ruins of Insomnia wasn't coincidence; he wanted Noct to notice him. Will that gamble pay off? Noct will give Prom his answer next Tuesday! 

BANDIT REVOLVER EPISODE 6.5

Noct drops a few details about what his deceased best friend was like. It's a few crumbs, but it's a start!
Also, you're probably wondering "wait, if he says he hated his friend's smoking habit, why is he smoking now?" You'll learn that terrible answer in due time, dear reader.

This is another one of the bits I've cherry-picked from Versus XIII--the "Prompto" of that series. There were rumours of character and story leaks, amongst which included that VersusXIII!Pr...

BANDIT REVOLVER Episode 6.4

Let's get this out of this way: just because Noct bought Prompto a coffee, that doesn't mean that this is a date. 😤 They're just sitting on a bench, drinking coffee, and getting to know each other a little be--

okay, maybe they're accidentally going on a date 🤨

The next page will drop on Wednesday! Thank you as always for reading!

BANDIT REVOLVER Episode 6.3

Poor Prompto was probably not expecting Noct to be in his stay-at-home attire...which includes adorable Carbuncle slippers.

I'll leave it up to y'all to decide if these two are going on an impromptu date....though if you asked either of them, they would deny it. 😅

The next page will drop on Thursday!

BANDIT REVOLVER Episode 6.2

Deep breaths, Noct--you can do this.

Meanwhile, Prompto is taking photos of a sweet-looking vintage car (he doesn't know it's Noct's.).

...I'm gonna pat myself on the back for drawing the Regalia again. Drawing cars is hard!

I hope you enjoy, y'all--the relationship is basically being built from this point on!

Next page drops Monday!

BANDIT REVOLVER: COMPLETE EDITION ver. 1.0

Hello, lovelies!
So as I've noticed, finding older episodes of Bandit Revolver aren't easy--in fact, it's frustratingly difficult, compounded by my very inconsistent tagging. And with new patrons having joined the fold (Hello, lovelies! 🥰), I figured it was high time I provided a master post containing the full downloads of the Prologue through Episode 5.

Another item to be added is the revised edition of the Episode 1 download--as I was going through all the files, I realised t...

BANDIT REVOLVER Episode 6.1

Episode 6 officially begins...and we see Noct actually has a place to live, with a nice big window that he sits at...and yeah, he's smoking again. 😬

But, he's about to go  ̶ ̷o̷n̷ ̷a̷ ̷d̷a̷t̷e̷ hang out with Prompto, so there's that. c:

In between Episode 5 and Episode 6, Noct had seen Luna again. I initially considered drawing that scene out, but I think y'all would have busted down my door if I delayed Noct and Prom interacting 😅

6.2 will drop on T...

BANDIT REVOLVER EPISODE 06 COVER

Here we are, nearing the start of Episode 06 of Bandit Revolver! This is the most colourful cover yet!

A fellow reader has informed me that in France, it's a popular cliche to portray two love interests on a bench...this episode will probably be very popular with French readers someday 😂

6.1 will drop on Monday! Please look forward to it!

RE: Bandit Revolver Episode 6

Okay, so here's what's going on with BR Episode 6: The cover will still drop on Saturday as scheduled, and the first page on Monday. However, the updates will be a little more spaced out--I'd say expect 1-2 a week between next week through most of October. I know this is still fairly vague, and the truth is that I honestly can't say for certain how many pages this update will consist of, as I've been rendering a few of them, but their progress has been slower than I would have liked.

A...

PROGRESS REPORT, 9/15/22

Hey, lovelies. I figure it's a good time to fill y'all in on what's going on, what's coming up, so let's get to it:

BANDIT REVOLVER: I've been a little quiet about this one, but I have been working on Episode 6. The new pages will begin to drop Saturday, September 24. I know that's rather late in the month for the updates. Truth be told, I've been battling some particularly harsh depression that has made it difficult for me to work, but I've been trying my best to push through it. The ...

Update on Hot Noct Summer Packs

Okay, so just as a heads up--I'll be mailing these out on Monday. I apologise for the delay and I won't make excuses as to why I hadn't gotten around to sending them out--just know that if you expressed interest in receiving the mini print and sticker, you will be getting them! Your patience is appreciated, and I'm already planning out the next piece. 

GUILTY GEAR STRIVE: Millia Rage

...okay, y'all can have a little break from the FFXV content 😆

The latest in my Guilty Gear Strive series of stickers is here! Millia Rage will be available as a sticker and charm, and will be available in my ko-fi shop (more about my plans for this later!)! As with previous characters, I have provided a pair of palette swaps! Axl Low is next!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NOCTIS (2022 EDITION)

...are y'all tired of my FFXV content yet? 🤣

Anyway, this year's birthday artwork for Noctis includes Prompto (who was absent from last year's piece), a chocobo plushie, and cake!

The illustration is also available as a high-resolution download, and mini prints will be available soon!

Y'all treat yourselves today, but don't eat vegetables! 😜

BANDIT REVOLVER: Episode 05 COMPLETE + Episode 06 Cover Preview

That's a long title 😅

Anyway! Episode 05 is officially a wrap, and Episode 06 is in the works! New pages will begin dropping September 15th, starting with the episode cover!

I've made a lot of progress on Bandit Revolver this year compared to previous years, and I am super grateful to y'all for bearing with me! I hope y'all are looking forward to where Noct and Prom's journey will take them!

In the meantime, be sure to help yourselves to the complete edition of Episod...

BANDIT REVOLVER EPISODE 5.17

...I bet some of y'all were ready to yell at Noct at panel 3. 🤣
Don't worry, he's making a good decision this time! Well, maybe...

Thank you for your patience as I worked to get this episode out! Episode 6 will begin in September!

But stay tuned--preview artwork for Episode 6 as well as the complete download for Episode 5 drops Sunday!

BANDIT REVOLVER EPISODE 5.16

Jesus, Prompto is really persistent. Unlike Noct though, he doesn't need a dog to insist he makes friends with him--Prompto's motives are a lot simpler. 😉 😳

The final page for Episode 5 drops Friday!
