AkuSai - Where is my heart

Finiiiiiished at last. Took a moment to mess around with the lighting and mood. Hi-res image attached! I'll compile steps to the shading soon too.

In a way this is a bit of a combo of original Japanese version, Final Mix and the manga of KH2 - Axel burned away in the original version, Saïx was obviously angry and distressed about Axel fading away in the Final Mix scenes, aaand well in the manga it was Saïx who effectively killed Axel in a berserk rage.

It all makes for some deli...

Comic commentary! Ch5 pages 18-27

It's been... 15 pages since the last commentary! >:0 I wanted to let the pages accumulate so there'd be more content but FIFTEEN-! Whoops. Doing up to pg 27 today.

Ok, so - 

A god prison! Is exactly what the name says - difficult to kill a god so the elves have one imprisoned so they can sacrifice the immortal being over and over and over again. What s...

AkuSai WIP

Bit of progress on this one. Working on it here and there between comics.

Decided to change Saïx into his berserk mode, since in the manga it was in that state that he effectively killed Axel. Also to contrast Axel's peaceful "sleep" aaand to change up how I've drawn them at least a little bit.

The caption for this will be his line "Where is my heart", suggesting that Axel/Lea is his heart 8)

Unknown monster designs

So Vard is supposed to see how the elves see Inara and Mischief. They need to look monstrous and evil, at least to the elves, and their "active magicks" should be visible to the elves too. For example Inara has plenty of spellwork tattoos, but not seen by the naked eye like Mischief's.

Vard's too busy with the sparkly elf to look at the monsters now.

Completed chapters' PDFs are HERE.

Sorry it took so long to get these pages out! My hand's been aching and I try to listen to warning signs like that :p

Crybaby Axel process

Another older piece, if only to give you some content x) I chose this one because it's fairly simple so you can see the changes easily and making it included some messing about.

  • 1. initial sketch, originally drawn really small (thumbnail) so I can make sure the important bits are clearly defined
  • 2. actual sketch! Changed him from looking down to glancing up
  • 3. inks! Blacked out more than in the sketch, but I stil...

AkuSai WIP - sketch

I promised sad gays way back and I finally got tired of not having proper scheduled time for it so I just went ahead and started :')

Saïx having feelings about Axel fading away before him (after stabbing him in manga canon hahaha wasn't that fun)

Parent!Squad date night

Before I jump on new art, have a hi-res version of an older one!

I few people asked for larger versions of this one, but I'm uncomfortable sharing big versions of my art publicly even without all the ridiculous reposting and everything 8') But this way it's ok!

Ch5 pages 28-29 WIP

So since I obviously missed Monday's update (there were reasons.. I forget now), I'll update tomorrow with both of this week's pages!

On page 29 btw that's what a blown-up thumbnail looks like, vs finished pencils on page 28. My thumbs tend to vary from vague stick figures to full forms and backgrounds :D

Going one page at a time is an easier hurdle, but I've been getting too precious with the art, polishing it more than needed. Hoping that doing multiple pages at a time (even on ...

Tiers updated!

Hey all! The Patreon is now revamped and the tiers have been changed around, so make sure to update your pledge as you see fit.

The $20 and $100 tiers will stay up long enough so those who requested to stay on can get one more pledge in, after that they're gone!

So here's where we left off! Mischief is stitching up Inara, Ilmaris is mad as hell, Mirien is gonna have a stroke, Tuimar checks his six while Marya is surrounded by very fancily dressed sorcerers.

Patreon updates!

Here's how this Patreon will look like by the change of the month!

A little simplified! There will still be plenty of UL content, but only pin ups will be monthly. Gone are the commission and cameo tiers though! As much as I would want to, I can't keep them up :( If you were at the $20 or $100 tier and haven't gotten all your rewards, message me!

There's a chance I'll have an "Art School" tier in the future, with more in-depth how-to's, art videos with voiceover, ...

Here's the pencils to page 27!

Before things get real fast-paced again, we're going to do a quick check up on how all our "heroes" are doing.

This whole bit is a confusing mess in my script haha! The pacing and order of everything is a liiiittle delicate, so I'm drawing a combo of two different scripts right now. Each page is a surprise, even to me.

Billing paused for April!

Hi hi! Hope everyone is doing good and had a great month of March!

You won't be billed this April 1st! I've had so much work and a messy schedule that there's zero chance for me to get you rewards :( And well since the Patreon might be changing a bit, I want to give you a chance to choose how/if you want to keep supporting me in the future. I'll show you beforehand how the rewards will change, once I settle on them myself x)

Those of you who follow me on Twitter and/or Tumblr might've seen me post about this already, but I'm of course very interested in what you, who already are my patrons, think about this.

This Patreon has been for Unknown Lands, but I might want to expand it to cover the rest of my arting (excl. work-for-hire stuff of course, NDAs and a...

BASH.

This is the moment when Vard really decides to become a guardian. Up until now he's kind of been forced into it all, but this was his decision.

You might also notice Ilmaris did not have time to become a dark elf ;D

Thumbs Ch5 pgs 16-22

Since I just spent an entire day doing thumbnails for a work thing, have some thumbnails for UL pages! Including the one for the next page.

...which will be edited because it's not working :D But if you compare some of the older ones to the finished pages, you might find quite a few changes I made.
