Dragon and a weird robot in the mine

Also, bluesky version of the post:

"I wonder what it was looking for..."

A lot of little things with this one. Been working on making the gems a little nicer to look at, and to pick up, as well as the greater enemy death effects. Still not 100% happy with them but it's coming along!

There's also this big robot, too, but that's besides the point

Pic Poll #100

100 polls in~

First poll using the newest sketches!

Anyway, i'll be coloring the winner on Saturday the 30th.

Progress update on TWS~!

I feel weird letting a week go by without saying anything on a monday, so here's an update!

As you know, i'm lettering the entire comic (inputting / formatting all of the text, balloons and panel borders), so there's just nothing visual to show off. it's a surprisingly tedious, fiddly process.

I have a couple sessions of it left, so I'm aiming for the cover to go up on the 25th?

This is the most boring part of making a comic, but it's also just part of the job~

A cool crabbo

Also, Bluesky version of the post

"I might have been standing a little too close..." - bluesky

Got a couple of enemies' graphics finalized, but the one that took some doing was this little crab tank guy. There are only a few of them in the game but they're used in pretty fun setups, layered with other enemies. By himself he's not much of a threat though!

Buckle (sketch)

Just a fun sketch~

Hope your halloweens are fun! Go eat some candy or something!

Dragon in the lava zone

also the bluesky version of the post

Iced Lizard Games: "I didn't think it was gonna be THAT hot!

Working on the next area, got the broad level materials figured out, as well as the lava stuff. Still needs some work but i wanted to show off bouncing on the valves, it's fun! These things throw you around in different directions throughout the level.

Pic Poll Winner #99 - Siren

Someone beckons from across the sea~

-----

You know, i decided at some point that Daisy's arms just kind of bend wherever they need to. does it make a lot of sense? no, but it's fun to just have those flippers looping around.

Plus, i don't think that's really the focal point of the picture anyway~

edit : was missing a tier

Pic Poll #99 Results!

It seems the Daisy pinup narrowly beat out the Alice pic! I'm kind of surprised the toxoth smozumi hydropent pic didn't fare better against it, but i never can tell i suppose!

This will be finished later today

(don't mind that it says 98 and not 99, i manually update that and didn't save the txt file before rendering)

TWS - Thumbnails 14 - final

Alright! Got the whole book sketched out. I'm moving everything into the full-size page templates and lettering, now! Text will be a tiny bit bigger than the previous books, to help with reading on phones.

So, finished pages begin soon. Thanks for sticking around during the incredibly important, but not very flashy preproduction portion of the comic., everyone.

Dragon goes swimming

also, a bluesky version of the post as well, if you're more into that

Good Haul (Halloween 2024)

Time for a treat~

You'd think that all this candy would be of concern to someone with such prominent front teeth, but i guess she's not worried about it.

I presume it's all for her.

Happy Halloween ( a little early ), guys <3

30 Second Poll

He's gotten out of tighter spots~

-----

It's happened before and it'll happen again. Thank god he's got such long legs.

Also i figured that jenny should do SOMETHING different fashion-wise occasionally, even if it's just tying her ears up. it's cute!

So if it's not evident, i tried something new with the pic suggestions. I just kind of doodled a bunch out and figured i'd decide which needed color later.

That was a bad idea lol.

Put A Towel Down

Or 10. We're gonna need 'em~

Every once in a while i get to draw an Azuloris, and today there were in fact, 2 of them!

I kind of love this one, honestly. I would have colored it, if it wasn't going to take hours . Another good one for the next poll, i think!

Secret Snack (sketch)

Phase 2 of their kinky plan is go~

-----

So, as far as my sketches go, you may think this one's a little weird looking. When i'm stuck fiddling with bodyparts over and over when sketching, i abandon it and start blobbing down the silhouette instead. Then i kind of carve out the limbs and go over it.

So, the wrigglish in her mouth, the one poking out of her pouch (where the other came from), the subway, nimbilisk, flamoa and others in the station etc, are all there.

Always a good day when i get to draw a Nimbilisk! I l o v e snek

also that Bajole is giving it his all, but he's kind of s small part of the scene overall!

Jonah's back to the surface! Seems there's some disagreement on how they should proceed in the future, though. I wonder what he's got to say~

One more of these and it should be ready to move into the final doc, letter, and then begin finished pages.

Improved cute hat technology

Decided it would be fun (and solve the need for back-facing sprites for all the hats, during the player's melee2 animation) to have the hat pop off his head from time to time. Had to go with the purple witch hat, given the season~

In other unrelated news, i've gotten some good progress in on this year's halloween pic. It's coming out rad so far

Enjoy your weekend, everybody!

Pic Suggestions 108 (☆☆☆ & ☆☆☆☆)

Looks like the crisis was averted. Thank goodness he's got such a big stupid tail to pull on! She's certainly getting a lot more telekinesis experience with him around, for better or worse.

Near the end now

Pic Poll #99

It's poll time!

 As i said before, Pic Suggestions have been expanded a little. ☆☆☆  AND ☆☆☆☆ patrons can suggest, with ☆☆☆☆ suggests being considered for coloring, and ☆☆☆ considered for sketching.

Dragon and a big robot

I got a lot done on the animations for the stage1 boss! Seems our rabbit friend is in need of a little rescue.

Still early stuff, but i like how it's coming together~

-----

as always, the game dev isn't part of my patreon workload, but i wanna show you guys~

Breeze

The air's getting cooler...

I dunno, they went upstate a bit~ I wanted to try out some of the watercolor brushes

New seasonal phone background! I included a 50% blurred version for after the lock screen, since i didn't like the default ultrablur. Jenny gets a little hidden by the home bar but that's ok

Jonah seems to be in a bit over his head! He's also apparently learned something about himself that needs to be filed away for later

Now the dragon has cute hats~

My best new feature, hands down. Better than rewind.

You'll be able to use the gems you pick up in levels to buy some no-gameplay-impact stuff. Firstly, hats. Recolors of the player character as well, probably! It's not totally done yet, i'm gonna make it like jump off his head when he does a melee attack or gets hit, but even with the raw offsets put in it's pretty cute <3

 Also got the background of this area ready* for the trailer, finally

Witch hat best hat, prob...

Pic Poll Winner #98 - Fitting Room

"Miss? You've been in there a while, is everything okay?"

Ended up going a couple directions with the background colors, but ended up choosing something a bit more subdued so the characters stood out a bit more~

Good to see the stealth hookup marsupial living her best life.

It's marsupial time, apparently~

I'll be coloring this on friday! See you then <3

In today's update, Jonah gets swept off his feet, so to speak.

More cute game with a dragon

Hey! Extra-curricular insomniac here with a little wip on my game~

Been getting the art together so we can get a steam page up, and the first set of parallax materials is the starting mountaintop in the Puzzle Shrine valley (the building in the distance).

I also got a turnaround skid animation in, which is what this video is actually showing off ( and the basics of the playerDeath state). But it's just a cozy zone~ still wip

Accident On Set

It's a slipshod production, but they try~

-----

Typically i wouldn't veer into accidental content, but i presume Ian was in for a dip during filming soon, anyway~ Thankfully watermelons float! He could probably hang onto the walls though.

I guess he can have all the watermelon he wanted now, while he waits.
