Now that she was much more comfortable with the current situation, Shayla became a lot more talkative. Her brief summary of events until now turned into a downright epic. More so, Shayla couldn't resist not being a little petty in a teasing way over how she took Coye's virginity. He was beyond embarrassed to sit there and let her go on and on about it, but it entertained Suzette and Byng so he figured he could take the embarrassment if it helped them continue developing their relationship at ...

There was a knock on the door, startling Coye awake. His instincts never failed to rouse him when he needed to, even now. Shayla was in the middle of touring the kitchen for the fourth time, making mental plans on what she wanted to do with the place. She dropped what she was doing in a sudden panic, rushing off to find Coye’s hat just as soon as he was getting up to put it on his head.
“Darling, it’s us. Are you decent?” Suzette called out to him.
‘Damn it,’ Shayla mu...

Hey friends, just a quick update on where I'm at with things.
I have had a distracting week, but it's ok because I was on a daily writing streak for almost a whole month lmao. Essentially I just had a couple of days where I didn't feel like work. I've been indulging in my new hobby, Gunpla and Gundam in general. Found out there's a hobby store in town and bought an assload of things the other day and I'm watching the original anime series lol. Very fun stuff. Looking forward to expandin...

Byng was trembling as she walked arms linked with Suzette down the street. Funnily enough, this got the huntress even more eyes on her than she had with handholding Coye. And why wouldn’t they stare? The two of them made for just about the most unlikely pair in all of Cransmere. A Tall, beautiful human woman both mysterious and sexy in equal measure, and a short, squad, pear shaped Goblin girl Who couldn’t stop trembling made for a curious site.
As to why she was so afraid, that had...

Everything with Dorothy the night before had left a strange feeling in Coye’s mind. He was worried that he had caused the sudden shift in her mood or if he had said something wrong that upset her, but for as much as his mind raced about his guild mistress, there was much more he had to focus on. Shayla was too excited about their new house to prove reliable when it came to advising him about Dorothy, so he had no choice but to let it go and listen to the pixie rattle on about this and that....

Coye Made a walk of shame back to the front desk, where he found Dorothy and Tammy waiting for him. Dorothy lit up with relief while the receptionist seemed as indifferent as ever.
“There you are,” Dorothy sighed. “Stomach problems?”
“Oh, no… It was just a long walk… You know how it is…”
“Right,” The guild mistress nodded and looked slightly away.
“What he means to say is that Britni and her friends got a hold of him.” Tammy informed.

The second floor of the Guild was in no better shape than the first. It consisted of a long hallway that led to rooms on both sides of the building. The first one on the left-hand side was the master bedroom where the guild master slept. The others were for important guests and Back in the day there were many live in employees who were housed here. It had been a long time since any of these were used aside from the main room,and yet today the guild master had the unfortunate task of actually ...

I expect this one will change a lot in the second draft. Makes sense since I'm getting used to writing 4 new characters all at once.
========
Britni and her entourage led Coye out behind the Guild, where no one else was currently at. There were six benches and tables for adventurers to make use of at their leisure, but they went mostly unused because the Guild was too dreary a place for outdoor activities. That was a Cransmere thing in general, though.
Ever since first layin...

And this is where the poor body types are most prevalent. The nipples were so bad that I didn't even bother trying to make him do it better. I was more or less checked out at that point.

This is the one that really, really bothers me. Her body type is nothing like its supposed to be even after trying to get him to make it closer, the face and hair are just so, so, soooo far away from what I was trying to accomplish in my original design, and the expressions are just... agh.
The gear is decent but I stopped giving a shit and that's why the colors are all drastically different from her main color scheme. I'll likely have another artist use them as a loose guide for her ge...

The outfit is mostly an improvement on my design, but his eh faces, lack of body type variety and his poor lineweight on the hair really drag this one back a ton. it bothered me how bad he was at doing the lips and makeups and giving them really detailed Gyaru-style lashes, which were present on my original pic. Also the ears are drawn real bad and the earring placement is wonky as fuck lol
The gear is good, though, and I'll keep them.

The best and most inoffensive of the ref sheets. Didn't stray too much from my original design. He had trouble rendering her hair, but that's about it. Faces vary greatly in quality, but I hate how he shaded the fur. At that point I wanted to be done with it though and didn't want to make him re-render it.

I've had these done for a few days now and I haven't shared them because frankly I am very disappointed with how they came out. I'm sorry to say that. I put too much faith in the artist I went with and the problems kept piling up and I'm really unhappy with the results. I'll still share them but I'll just say that I won't be including them in the back of volume 4. I have a different artist I'm in talks with that will likely draw promo art for them and I'll use those instead.

"Darling," Suzette said as she looked over at the door. "I wasn't expecting you back so soon. I thought tonight at the earlier! Both of you wait outside for a moment and I'll be right with you."

“I’ll ask just one more time,” Coye said. “Are you sure you’ll be OK if we do this?”
“Yeah, yeah. Why do you keep asking? It was my idea in the first place, dammit!” Byng insisted, staring distrustfully at the big brown horse they were close to renting.
The two adventurers were on the verge of heading off to do their quest, when ...

At the same time that Sam was entering the city of Dewhurst for the first time, the guild master was beginning his morning routine. The first thing, just like it was every other morning, was to wake up with a super naturally bad hangover and linger in pain for several hours until enough strength Came to him that he could hobble out of wherever he passed out last and stumble his way to the kitchen. Today, he was lucky enough to have woken up in his own bed. A rare treat, but it came with the d...

They returned a little after ten in the morning, running into minimal interferences on the way back. He politely waved goodbye to a group of adventurers who were departing from the gate on their way to make the journey to the Labyrinthe of Light a few days north of here, but they ignored him for the most part aside from a casual nod. Coye felt awkward for having even done anything. He wouldn't have bothered in the past, but he was in a good mood so he figured he might as well.
When he c...

Yes, that's right. I'm working on both Coye and RotGM in tandem. As to which one has my priorities more, it's Coye vol 4 but I am going to be trying to keep it balanced as much as I can. I'm working on Coye 4.2 right now but I'll fit in RotGM 1.2 after that probably. It's just that the outline for Coye has me way more hyped at the moment lol.

To make my titling easier, Instead of Vol 1 Ch 1 I'm just going to post these as V1.1, V1.2 etc with the number after the decimal being the chapter number.
But yeah, work has started! Even for a rough draft I feel this one is in really rough shape, but that's a problem for future me.

Just letting you guys know that currently I am working hard on the outline for Coye vol 4. It's 12k words right now, and I expect to be done within 2-3 days. Really exciting stuff, I think everyone is going to love what happens in it even though there's less adventuring and action in this volume. It's more of a slice of life one, with only two actiony parts. But everything that happens, I am hugely excited for.

Just letting you know what's coming up. I'm working on the full outline for the new RotGM vol 1. It's a huge document, currently at 15k words and I still haven't reached the point where he and Sam hook up. One I reach the getting together scene, I'm going to split the document in two so I can have my friend check it over and once he's done so and I've edited it, I'll post it here. Possibly tomorrow.
Once that's done, I'll finish the second half of the outline and repeat the process.

This one is even more full of spoilers than Sam's. Read at own risk. Zutiria is seeing a number of large changes in the reboot, but they are all in the name of tightening her character and her theme to create a more refined version of the character you already know and love.

Zutiria Syndaline
Zutiria is a thirty year old Mage who lives in a tower of Castle Lundreame, on paper working as a sort of unofficial court mage but in actuality she is more of a NEET. ...

I figured I would finally hammer out the specifics of the first Demon Lord given how vital it is to the background. Granted, the barebones of this document was already finalized in my head a long time ago, only now I explored it in much greater detail and I believe it's in a fairly finalized state.
As for what I'm working on next, it's an overview document of Sam's life until the beginning of RotGM. I want to have a much better foundation to start with. Shouldn't take long. I hope you g...

This is much less organized than my typical lore documents. There is no structure here, and it's essentially just a shotgun blast of different data meant to serve as a general overview of how (Karnallian) Demons work in my setting. Sorry for that, the next lore thing will be more structured like usual.

In the reboot, GM will have a full on skill tree for his developing powers. Initially, I thought about giving the girls skill-trees as well that he could invest in, but given how much trouble I am having setting up the GM’s skill tree, the thought of doing that for all the girls became unrealistic. Not to mention I feel like it would cheapen the story and take away from the development aspect of the series if GM can just put points into Sam getting a 10% buff when using great blades. Theref...

As stated in a previous post, I decided on merging the Guidance and Development skill trees into one. Futhermore, I have restructured a lot of the powers to be more strictly based in desire so that it is thematically appropriate now that his powers stem from Zehesiel.
