Project Vault Game Dev Log 04

And another month of progress done! Been a pretty big month for working on a lot of the various little aspects of the game. Been really focusing on some of the movement mechanics for Bod this time around while also starting to develop the first prototype demo build! Been a lot of things to clean up and learn, especially when introducing mechanics such as climbing in the game!! I'm just about done with the first build and expect to have the cleanup done next week! Gonna let a few close friends...

Mid Month Update August 24'

Bit of a small update this month for the midway point! With the Inteleon Pic finished up last weekend, I've pretty much been focusing on getting some new pics worked on! Most of the rest of the month is going to probably go towards getting the linework cleaned up for these before starting on some colors!

Other than these 2, I might start roughing out a few other things as the month goes on! With BLFC around the corner I figured it's about time I finally made a new up to date ref of Bod!...

Patreon, Apple, and subscription news

Hey so I'm sure folks are probably going to be hearing about this most of today either from other creators or Patreon itself, but some changes to patreon are going to be going through in November due to requirements from the Apple store. Long story short they require all billing on Patreon to be done as a subscription service rather than monthly billing in addition to requiring a 30% cut for usage on the Apple IOS store.

As you can probably guess this causes quite a few problems for a ...

Inteleon Day 24' Hires

And here is the hi res version of the Inteleon Day pic!

Inteleon Day 24'

Filling out that thin midsection, watching as it's ballooning size and heft slowly pins them to the floor..... Yeah I'd say thats a pretty good way to spend a day dedicated to yourself. After all there is no getting to that hose now which only means there is gonna be more and more of Pohā for Inteleon day :3c!!

And got a pic of my fav Inteleon done! Still got another week till Inteleon day, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to miss it this year X3! Very much gonna be dood...

End of Month Update July 24'

Ah I can feel the art engines revving right now! It may be the end of the month, but I will say that this has been a super inspiring month of work! Got to play around with a lot of different ideas, create a new OC, and overall just have fun with stuff during my comic break. It's a little bit too easy to get lost in the muck when your always focusing on the big project, but these little sort of breathers do wonders for getting the art juices running :3!

So at the moment I've been doing a...

Project Vault Game Dev Log 03

Heck it's end of July already! What the heck happened to the time this month!! Been having too much fun with a bunch of the little dev projects I've been playing with for the month, so I'm pretty stoked to share a lot of them with you all! Spent a good chunk of time working on cleaning up Bod's model a bit in addition to little quality of life updates with the model movement in game! Likewise got to add in another mechanic I've been needing which is the wall hug! Got a bit more of a breakdown...

Big Ol Traditional Sketch Dump

Sooo it's been a hot minute since I did any scanning of my artbooks XD. Gathered up as many as I could find and did some quick scans for you all of the most relevant or interesting things! I think there is some 58 of them or so X3!!

Scheming Sokie Hi Res

And the Hi Res of the Sokie Painting!

Scheming Sokie

Sokie, how in the world is anyone supposed to use that warp pipe when your immense self is blocking it all up! You better not be planning anything mischievous with what's in that block there....

Hooray! Got to paint up my current obsession at the moment and had an absolute blast with this goober!! Really love how this quick paint came out for Sokie!!

Wandering Puppet Speedpaint HR

And the Hi Res version of the speed paint!

Wandering Puppet Speedpaint

"Across the ancient halls of long abandoned ruins, the clattering of ceramic jaws can always be heard echoing from their depths. The silent guardians of most of the Foundations, the Wandering Puppets are the most commonly found Restless in the ruins. Slow an ponderous, their swaying walk lending credence to their name. Just be wary whenever you hear those clacking steps, as a fully awoken Puppet is something every Seeker would rather avoid..."

Been wanting to do a speed paint o...

GummiGoo Syrup Storage Hi Res

And the Hi res of the GummiGoo pic!!

GummiGoo Syrup Storage

Personally I am a fan of this method of liquid storage! But as a recipient of this sort of treatment, I will admit that it does cause some mobility issues for said liquid.... and container.... But hey, the 2 friends look like they are enjoying their absolute balloon of a boss to the fullest :3!!!!

Mid Month Update July 24'

Hey it's time for another midmonth update! Got a whole handful of things for yah all this month :3!! Been having fun with various paintings and characters with this break month. First and foremost the Gummigoo painting is starting to really come along now! Likewise I finally doodled up a character I've been thinking of for a bit! So let me introduce you all to Sokie, my Piranha plant OC :3!! They are insanely absorbent piranha plant that can't get enough water haha. Gonna have a lot of fun wi...

Lucario Day 24' Hi Res

And the hi res version of the Lucario day pic!

Lucario Day 24'

Torta, why you gotta be so photogenic!! Had a ton of fun finally doing a speed paint again with my fav Lucario! Played around with some fun colors this time around! Also was really nice to knock out a pic that I'm really proud of in only a few hours.... rather than months for once haha.

Lucario day is on the 16th, so got this done with plenty of time to spare this time :3!!!

End of Month Update June

Bit of a light update for you all at the end of the month! With the comic page getting finished up last week, I've only gotten a little bit of time to dive into some of the other stuff at the moment! With page 28 wrapped up, I'm looking to take a bit of a break for the next 2 months to work on some other stuff. Been in the mood to work on some painterly stuff for too long now and I've got a backlog of major pics that have been yelling at me to finish them haha. In addition I really have been ...

Project Vault Game Dev Log 02

Another month down with a heck of a lot of progress for the game! Got a good chunk of time working on a lot of the little things I've been needing to learn to play around with this game. First and foremost I finally got the Bod model to a point where it looks good enough for me to play around with as a first pass! In addition I put in some extra time working on some of the mechanics Bod will be using in the game. My current goal at the moment is to keep building on these basic systems so that...

Team Wipe Pg.28 Hi Res!

And the Hi res of the Team wipe page!

Team Wipe Pg28!

You know there are benefits to having a magical suit of armor. First and foremost, it makes it much harder to get sucked into the black hole of a suit that is your party member. The same can't be said for a golden bunny statue.....

We be rolling along with another comic page done! With this I am now down to the last 10 pages remaining in the comic! This one finished up much faster than the last page (for which I'm eternally grateful haha)!

Mid Month Update June 24'

Bit of a small update this time! With the Void suit ref sheet done, thats another of my major projects finally wrapped up! Still plugging away at the latest team wipe page which is starting to get so close to completion! Once that is done I'll be doodling up a quick little teaser for the comic page before moving on to future pages and the gummigoo painting!

Team Wipe pg.28: This is on the verge of completion! I have like 2 parts of the upper right panel to r...

Void Suit Full Refs

Wooo finally done with the ref sheet! Took quite a bit of time to work through all the layers of it, but it was well worth it and a ton of fun! Got to work out a lot of the little design aspects that had been sitting in the air for the better part of the year and finally settle on a design I really like for the Void suit!

One of the major aspects I wanted to capture for the Void suit is the modularity of the equipment Bod uses. Between the harnesses, armor, and trinkets all of them are ...

End of Month Update May '24

Wow, Spring is leaving in a heartbeat isn't it! Kind of amazed at how quickly these months are going by. Been having fun with a whole bunch of little projects while I work on the current team wipe page! With no major things going on next month, I should be able to knock it out pretty quickly! Likewise I've got a few things getting worked on for the game dev stuff that has been pretty fun..... in addition to a bit of an obsession with Gummigoo >.>

Team Wipe: I...

Project Vault Game Dev Log 01

So it's time that I start working on actually creating some unique posts for these! Been working a lot on the side or during down time at work to start building up and playing Unreal and Blender. For decades now I've dreamed about making games and this year I've finally decided to step into actually trying to do so! So it's time to introduce Project Vault. This is going to be the early codename for my first game I'm making :3!! I hope folks enjoy the little updates I bring about for it at the...

Mid Month Update May 24'

Bit behind on this due to the con this month! Wanted to try and get a little bit of work on some of my projects before dropping them in here! For the most part I got a start on the shading work for the next Team Wipe page, in addition to some design work on some game assets! Going to be continuing on both of these for the rest of the month before moving on to some main painting ideas I've been wanting to do for a bit :3!

Now for the updates!

Role Reversal 2/2 Hi Res

And the hi res of the Role Reversal 2nd pic!

Role Reversal 2/2!

"There you go, just a little bit of wish fulfillment for yah Bod. You are so right, all that rubbery overfilled hide does feel great doesn't it! Just nothing but a swelling water balloon that is just so delightful to squish into. Now lets see how much that stretchy hide can hold~"

WOooo finally got this sequence finished up. Been living rent free in the head for going on a year plus now. So happy I could finally draw it all up, and now I'm once again stuck in the mood to draw Inteleon a...

End of Month update April 24'

Jeez April came and left too quickly! Was a busy as heck month for me over here! Got the team wipe page done, and worked on a few other little projects in the meantime! Main thing I'm working on now is wrapping up the 2nd half of the role reversal sequence before moving on to the next team wipe page! Also I will be at FWA this next month, so if anyone is there feel free to say hey if you spot me :3!!

Bod Patch notes:

Role Reversal 2/2: This is super close to ...
