My guard is down, I'm ripe and vulnerable to attack.

Hi there! Nothing much to share here except that I plan to keep working on Jocelyn in the coming days. Work has been keeping me incredibly busy the last few days which has kept me from posting, updating, etc, but hope to have more exciting things to share soon. Things are on track for the weekly Jocelyn update, that is coming next week.

So, some serious shit hit the fan at work today. Stuff completely out of my control dealing with upper management that might put my job in jeopardy. To top it all off, we are in the middle of the biggest project we have had in years and we will be effectively without leadership.
Anyway, this is about art! I've been incredibly busy with the above work related things but I'm hoping to get some sketching time in today to unwind. I'll share the fruits of my labor as always when ...

Old Celesteria Concept Art Painting
So, I think what happened here is I wanted to do some free painting while I was working on the story for a comic-turned-VN that I plan to release called Celesteria. So I ended up painting one of the characters. The overall look of Celesteria will be completely different from this, but I still get excited when I think back to this painting, and trying to use that inspired feeling to carry it through. Obviously the focus right now is on Jocelyn before I go on to other projects...

Things have been absurdly busy at work today so I may not make much progress, but I am planning to make more headway on the Jocelyn comic, refining the original sketches I have laid out, continuing to address continuity things, and adding dialogue as I go. I'll have a page ready to share tomorrow if everything stays on track. Take care, and I hope the remainder of your waking hours are stellar.
Oh, and I also have some concept art (that got a bit out of control and I ended up pretty muc...

Someone asked for an upgrade of this piece, so I did it!

Just a short one today! I'm continuing work on the Jocelyn comic. There is one page that is being a particular pain in the ass. Just to give an idea of my workflow on this, I typically sketch out things way in advance and work on the lines and adding details bit by bit. Well this particular page, I must have been sleeping while I was working on it because there were quite a few problems and details to be added. Yikes, thanks a lot past self. Should be on tr...

Hey friends! I'm gonna try to start doing brief daily updates to let you know what I'm working on. I realize I don't do a good job of that, and maybe people wonder or get frustrated that I'm not so active.
So, today, I'm going through some of the work on the Jocelyn comic which has been pretty extensive. It's not a huge epic, but it is a sizeable novella, and it's no small task to convert it to a comic, though it has been really enjoyable.
Much of the remaining w...

She does think she can handle this, for the record.

Hey, if there is one old pic you would like to see me re-do, what would it be?
Reply with what you think in the comments, and stuff!
Anyone who says "Re-do the whole Yuffie comic" will receive the promptest of head bonks.

A brief rant, and an update!
EDIT: I had almost instant regret publishing this rant. I thought about deleting it, but the feelings are still genuine and real, so I'll keep it in place. Also, I realize that the people this applies to likely won't read it, or they will read it and ignore it. I want to recognize that there are a lot of people who have been quietly and steadily supporting me for a long time. Please know you are extremely appreciated and this by no means applies to you. I've had ...

Hi Everybody,
A thing I've been trying to do for Growing of Virtue is give people a chance to submit some ideas for character names. So here we go! Name this character:
Heritage: Human
Class: Fighter, specializing mostly in ranged weaponry like bows
Background and Personality: She grew up on the brink of poverty, and lost someone dear to her as a young child. She has always been competitive, and will never back down from a challenge, no matter how sma...

You could say that she cannot be stopped. That she is uninterested in ceasing. That going, without any plans to do otherwise, are perpetually on the table. Signs point to never not going.

So I think a few of you have maybe played Growing of Virtue so far. You might have noticed the two branching paths that are available are really similar, if you've had a chance to try both.
I'd like to differentiate them from one another a bit more. If you have ideas for fun things you would like to see in either path, let me know and I'd love to hear your ideas. If we have a lot of them, we can do another voting event on what gets implemented!
For reference, the two paths ar...
Growing of Virtue!
Hi Everyone!
I'm excited to announce the launch of an experimental project called Growing of Virtue. It's a Visual Novel made primarily to test an AI-assisted workflow in the production process. I'd love it if you would play it and share your thoughts:

If there is interest, development on this will continue!

Hi friends!
I hope you all are doing well. I wanted to make the somewhat unfortunate announcement that I will be retiring my dedicated website hisano-x.com.
It will be active for a few more months, but will no longer be updated. My rationale is that I simply cannot meet the cost of maintaining a website, and with free solutions available, however inconvenient, discontinuing it is the most sensible solution. I'll probably just make a link tree or something because...
