I just want to offer a warm thank you to everyone who Liked and/or commented on the first page of Moonlight Wanderers I shared last week (whether they were questions, remarks, or constructive criticisms). I really can't tell you how grateful I am. It's just what I needed.
As thanks, have a shot of probably the most detailed background I've ever done. I finished this single panel recently and felt really proud of it. But it's also very intimidating. ...

Hi, everybody! Welcome to the first page of Moonlight Wanderers, a Pokemon Moon Nuzlocke Comic. If you're familiar with my work with Rain (which I'd imagine you are, otherwise I'm surprised you're here), you know I usually like to include a blurb with my pages. And there's a lot to say right off the bat. ^_^
The first thing you might notice is that this page is quite long. It is almost the length of four Rain pages. The plan for

After watching yesterday's Nintendo Direct, which talked a little bit about Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, I couldn't help but think how much I want to draw or write messages all over new Ultra Beast, UB Assembly. So I got to work whipping this up only to realize I had no idea what I wanted to actually say. Whoops! ^^;
Truth is, I have no idea when Moonlight Wanderers is officially starting. I'm still not sure when the right time will be to finally reve...

As much as I kinda hate drawing St. Hallvard uniforms at this point, there's something about seeing them on other characters that just delights me. And the main cast of Moonlight Wanderers are in the perfect age range for it. This actually started out with me wanting to draw out a full page of Father Quenton chewing each one of them out for one reason or another, but I guess

I'm getting there, everyone. I promise.

Maya from Moonlight Wanderers dressed like the main trainer girl from Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon because why not?
Honestly, this is like the first thing I've drawn in weeks (in any context; not just here). Since I assume everyone here follows me on more than just Patreon, you probably already know I'm going through some stuff. Still am. I'm not ready to get back to routine ...

Just a little something I doodled a couple weeks ago (and after last week, went back and attempted to shade). I didn't really have anything to show at for today (and my wrist has been acting up this week, so I wasn't able to draw anything else right now), but I hope this will suffice.
Does that mean Rain will cameo in Moonlight Wanderers? Well, this is mostly just a doodle, so I can't guarantee how, when, or where Rain could show up in the Pokemon universe. Bu...

Another assortment of Pokemon for Moonlight Wanderers today. From left to right, we have Rockruff, Phantump, and Misdreavus on the top row, with Lurantis, Fomantis, and Cloyster on the bottom row.
I want to draw special attention to Cloyster, who I kinda included here as a joke more than anything, but was actually a pretty valuable artistic experience. If you hadn't heard, as of yesterday I'm a year post-op (SRS). A couple weeks before my surgery back then, Pokemon G...

It's Thursday. So here's some Moonlight Wanderers. ^_^
Pokemon games are a tad formulaic. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, but when Sun and Moon came along and changed up the formula a bit, it was welcome. One of the weirder changes though was the identity of the rival. Like, was there one at all? Depending on how one interprets things, I've heard everything from Gladion as the rival because he acts like it, to the professor as the riva...

The timing's a little off on this one, because I kept forgetting to post it. But regardless of when it should have gone up, I wanted to share this. Recently in Rain, there was a shot of a boy-love manga called "Save the Prince".

The shot used in that scene used characters from another work of mine (...

I want to apologize profusely for not posting anything last week. I wish I had a better excuse than being in a weird head space where I wasn't really paying attention to what day of the week it was and what I needed to do. Some of you may understand that and be willing to forgive me, but I still feel it's important for me to apologize. You folks are paying for this; I should be doing better.
That said, it is Thursday, which I've arbitrarily decided is my Moonlight Wandere...

On today's page, I mentioned that there'll be one more day of this Ruby arc on Monday. But I can't decide where to go next. I mean, all the scenes are written, but the order they're presented is less important in this case. Then, I thought "I'll leave it up to Patreon!"
So whose arc would you like to start next Wednesday? ^_^

Another random assortment of Pokemon with upcoming Nuzlocke comic, Moonlight Wanderers in mind. This week, we have Meloetta, Sandygast, Bunnelby, Vaporeon, Brionne, and a female Nidoran.
If I may, I'm particularly happy with how Brionne came out. I've drawn one before back when it was first announced, and I think I've improved. Getting the hang of drawing cute, little mermaid-seals, I guess. XD

Recently, my spouse got into My Hero Academia. I'd already been following it since the start of the current season, but now that she's just getting into it, I'm watching it all again with her. It's not often I get into shounen stuff (or superhero stuff for that matter), so I'm not really sure what it is I like so much about it, but I keep coming back to it. I dunno. It's just super charming and fun.
So I decided to draw one of the characters, Mina Ashido. I g...

I guess Thursday's my Moonlight Wanderers day? :P
As you might have noticed from Rain, I don't draw a lot of non-humans. I've never felt particularly confident in my ability to draw animals, leading to none of the characters having pets (excluding Rain's rabbit, Puddle, who I included last minute because I had just gotten a rabbit myself around that time). In the case of a story like Rain, I don't think it's that important to have lots of creat...

Last week, I introduced my patrons to Moonlight Wanderers, a Pokemon Moon Nuzlocke comic I have planned to go up alongside Rain later this year. Today, I'd like to talk a bit about protagonist, Maya Shimizu... who's been around for a while, actually. For those of you who follow my DeviantArt, she's shown up a few times in individual pics even before Pokemon Moon even released.

So, as promised earlier this week, I wish to offer this first reveal for my second comic to go up alongside Rain later this year. Introducing Moonlight Wanderers, a Pokemon Moon Nuzlocke comic.
If you're not familiar with the concept of a Nuzlocke, Pokemon games are generally considered to be a bit on the easy side. So a Nuzlocke is a self-imposed challenge where any time one of your creatures faints, you are to consider them dead and you can no longer use t...

The other day, I finished Persona 5 (and LOVED IT), and decided I wanted to do some fanart for it. Or better yet, I haven't crossed Rain over with something else in a while. It'd be really cool if I could cosplay Rain and her friends as the band of heroes from the game. There are a lot of characters though, and I wasn't totally sure who should be who in every case, so I decided to keep it simple.
And as a result, we have Rain dressed like Haru alongside Puddle dressed li...

As of today, I'm opening a new rewards tier. For $3, I'll now be showcasing non-comic art (concept art, fanart, random doodles, etc.). These things will eventually be shared with everyone, but by becoming a patron of this tier, you get to see it first (sometimes days in advance, sometimes weeks!).
To celebrate, one such image will be available shortly! Today, a random doodle. And later this week, the first image previewing my upcoming second comic. ^_^

Seeing as I'm actually still very new to Patreon, this is just a little test message to get comfortable with it. If I do this right, it should only be visible to the Patrons. I will probably end up reposting this one on social media in the near future, but I wanted to just get the hang of things here first.
But speaking of Patrons before I go any further, THANK YOU SO MUCH to all you! You're the best! ^_^
