Sorry for this entry being a bit late. First and foremost:
Saturday was a bit of a mess with direct messages as there was a fault last week, documented here on the Patreon Status site. So it wasn't clear if the keys were sent out successfully. Fortunately, some very kind peopl...

... I'm due for June, ostensibly next Saturday. Hopefully 🤞🏾
What's coming? Well, that's for Patrons to know and for you to find out, if you're inclined to join next month...
Long time, no see, eh?
Writing this after a fortnight’s self-imposed exile from here and social media (outside of my Telegram Channel), I feel recovered enough to make a public appearance again. Hi.
My most heartfelt gratitude goes out to each and every one who contacted me out of concern. You are very kind and I apologise for not responding in good time more directly. I really needed the seclusion before I said or did something I would later regret...

On this final day of April, thank you so much for supporting me. Whether you stick around, or you're bidding me goodbye for good, that's okay; I'm grateful to you.
I hoep to return in June, ready and raring to go once the inner beasts have been tamed.
Hence Jinun (🐲) and Dôren (🐯) from Sengoku Yôko* who were once human but…
I shan't spoil it but don't sleep on it, it's pretty good a...

Especially this week? My last week? I don't think it's fair for me to charge full price for a few days' content before boop, it's gone. So yeah, sorry to anyone who's just come in late today (Monday 29th) -- it'll take a few days for the refund to come through but it'll be there for you.
Sorry 🙇🏾♂️
This image was vaguely inspired by a mod I saw on YouTube. If you know, you know.

In this case, Belius Innu Cerberus from.... who cares, it's one of those projects.
Enjoy this bonus.
Hello once more. As always, thank you for supporting me throughout this month. This will be my final update as I’m not here in May, as I publicised here and here. I hope to resume things as normal in June, touch wood, but I will keep you updated and informed as need be.

Why, yes, there is such a thing as Captain Britain.
And I like the costume-- well, one of them at least anyway.
But hey, a human -- which I was asked to do more of -- and it seemed fair to produce this after Steve Rogers… ✌🏾
Enjoy.

"We all have that one moment when..." as internet lingo used to go.
The Kanji on the shirt says 妖怪 yôkai (supernatural creature) which as a tengu, Jiro is.
Enjoy, and thank you again for allowing these.
If you watched episode 3 of Tonari no Yôkai-san, you know why I drew this.

Thank you as always for your support. Last week was a quieter week but I hope the wait will have been worth it. As always, everything's in the archives.
My paranoia went off big-time so Taigo wore a shirt in the public version. Anyway, yes, you will be charged the first week of May because you're paying for this month's content. But you won't be charged come the first week of June, because I'm not doing anything in May.
Again, thank you for your support. Couldn't do this without your support.
This isn't an indicator of me suddenly wanting to draw from anything in particular right this minute, this is more a thought experiment to see what the mood is like.
I personally have no interest in engaging with gachas, but I can totally understand why they're popular games, especially in countries where console-based or PC-based gaming is out of the question for a myriad of reasons...
A throwaway line from something I'm watching (correct as of posting this 16th April 2024) inspired this. A tengu is a yôkai, a supernatural creature, often depicted as a red-faced long-nosed goblin with wings 👺, but sometimes as an anthropomorphic crow. Tonari of the Yôkai, now with the localised subtitle of 'The Yôkai Next to Me' (given the very egalitari...

Hello again and thanks as always for your support.
Contrary to Monday, last week turned into a rough one as I succumbed to complete and utter despair. The anhedonia was very much real and it was through sheer stubborness and willpower I made myself go out to swim. I also much dove into my work in a bid to at least produce something, which I did, illustrated by the infrequent updates to ...

My apologies to those expecting Crocodine and the other members of the Legion. This is one of those instances where I tangentially know of the franchise by proxy because they didn't start getting localised here until the late 2000s ...
Hello and a belated Happy Easter should you celebrate it.
Thank you for your time and patience with me. April is a gonna be a front-end loaded month because I plan to finish my other obligations from last month. Therefore...
That said, you should've recieved your archive keys and therefore see:

The keys to the tomb (archives) will be dispensed next week when the payment cycle completes. Slightly delayed because of the Easter Holiday Weekend, so banks don't operate on Good Friday and Easter Monday. Sorry.
I'll post a journal next week confirming what's been updated, so look forward to that. 🙏🏾 And again, thank you so much for your support here, I am very grateful.
Thank you so much to the 50 who participated in last month's poll. I'm not 100% sure yet whether I can commit to doing these redesigns in May as I think I need another break so I can complete my commitments. I'll let you all know well ahead of time. In the meantime, please enjoy the content coming for this month of April. 🐀
2024-04-02 11:00:54 +0000 UTC View PostThis is to let you know that I’m taking Easter Weekend off.
As you know, I have not been in the best frame-of-mind for the past few weeks.
So I’m going down to the parents’ place, in the hopes that the time away from my workplace will reset my brain for April next week.
I want to make the best use of the time left to me, given the ongoing Spring Cleaning of the Online Space (to put it euphemistically) and of course, my holiday in September.
On the line of Spring ...

Sorry for no update during the week of 18th, got rather messed me up for a while (clarified here and here) and I ended up doing commissions for a bit.

So I was browsing through my hard drive and came across a forgotten drawing.
According to the metadata, I produced this prototype version of Onijî Tômaké and the Isle Hop Water Taxi Service back on 22 September 2017. A more refined version of Onijî (complete with name) appeared the next day, and the character made it into Poking Around proper come January 2018. But he wouldn't play a bigger part until much, much later.
The more you know.
Following the Community Guidelines update last week, a meeting was held on Monday 18th March 2024. Only those who are part of the A-Club were able to attend. Think of this as small ...

Thank you so much to every single individual who reached out with words of comfort and sympathy following the news that dropped last week. You don’t know how invaluable reading those messages was; I’m deeply touched.
I thought I’d be more “based” about the revelation, yet by Friday morning, I was in...

Enjoy the game. (I haven't done any one-off images this month insofar and wanted to at least present something).
