August 2023 monthly poll - Round 1

Monthly art poll for August. This poll is for deciding the character and will be running until the 15:th, and then I will make a new poll for deciding the outfit that will run until the end of August, and then I will make the actual piece at some point in September.

Like I said earlier I am gonna be doing these polls a bit differently for the time being. This poll is for deciding which alternate outfit concept for one of my DD classes I am going to make, I think this could be a pretty f...

July 2023 monthly poll result

The Houndmaster won the poll! You can expect the actual art piece at some point during July.

As I stated earlier I am gonna be doing this one a little bit differently. I'm thinking for this one I am going to draw it in the style of the actual ingame mods, as in make a concept piece for a theoretical alt skin for the class, in fact I think I might do that for the next few polls. To be very clear, this is not me making an actual mod, just making a design for a theoretical one. I ...

Brigand Pack 1 Progress Report 4

Art 97: Ookami Mio

Trying out some different techniques for lineart and shading, and I'm pretty happy with the results. I'm very much in a Hololive mood at the moment, so you can expect more of that from me.

Here is the second Progress Report for Brigand Pack 1.

I have finished the base body for each of the different attacks and animations, which I will then use as a foundation for the rest of the work. The next step will be to add details such as the face, hair and clothing.

Mod Release: Xelsword Hamlet - All in One

I have put together an all in one pack of my Town NPC mods! You install it the usual way.

I also took the opportunity to make a Fomod version of the mod for use with an external mod manager like Vortex, to make it easier to mix and match the different versions.

It has eight different versions: Human and monster, both with nude and clothed versions as well as hidden and visible eye versions. Do note that the hallucination images are the monster version regardless of which mod you pick.

Unlike the previous mods, this one also includes replacer images for the Graveyard, Glossary and Activity Log.
