This Week's Summary:

CG Comparison - Lance Intro

So this is just to show the original Lance intro CG I did with the revamp. Originally I just did this mock up of a intro CG planning for Lance's...well...intro. But I didn't have any of Lance's BGs done yet so the one used in the old CG is actually Morgan's apartment. 

I eventually re-did Lance's outfit and later still, his hairstyle. So the first one was completely inaccurate. I also wasn't entirely sure I'd be able to use that CG because I wasn't sure how the scenes at the start ...

20/02/2021 Patreon Devlog

Hi everyone! Let's jump into this week's devlog

This Week's Summary:

• Finished Chapter 4, 5 and 6
• Started Chapter 7
• Commissioned new BGs.
• Started a Lance CG

The Ramble:

So this week, my entire focus was on writing. The only art I did was when I trolled everyone by giving Ari eye-patches for his nips.

For reasons. LoL!

Well, that's not totally true. I did start work on a Lance CG - but i...

Sprite Updates

So this week I did a little bit of sprite work, including updating some existing sprites. I decided to add a little bit of design work to one of Van's prosthetics. I had always intended them to have a design on them because I didn't want them to be the standard futuristic "robot arms" - there are some of those in the game, but I wanted Vans to look a little different. 

And pretty. I revisited her sprite art and gave her arm some glowy designs because I think she just likes pretty t...

26/12 Patreon Devlog

Hi everyone!

Time for this week's devlog and the last devlog of 2020!  I hope you're all having a lovely Christmas and/or Boxing Day. 

At this point we're all getting used to end-of-year posts that state "It's been a rough year" but...man, has it been a rough year. It sometimes has felt like every bad thing has been stored up and suddenly dumped out this year. 

Every personal struggle this year has felt magnified by the intense global situation so it's felt li...

Caissa Shower CG - Process

The process of creating the Caissa shower CG (fully CG is below as well).

So yeah, I mean, it's self explanatory really. It's just some process shots of creating the Caissa CG I did this week. Sometimes I draw a BG from scratch - but I honestly try to use existing ones and fit the characters into them if it's at all possible. It just saves time and keeps things consistent.

You can see the process from creating a 3D model to give me a general pose to work from, to sketching, doing ...

19/12 Patreon devlog

Hi everyone!

Time for this week's (somewhat boring) devlog.

It's one of those weeks where not much happened. Not that there wasn't work that was done...Just that the work is me writing and that's it (see below).

22/11 Patreon Devlog

Hi everyone!

Welcome to this week's devlog where I have very little to talk about other than being trapped in the endless cycle of death of and rebirth….I mean…...writing.

Which feels similar. Except with less rebirth and just lots of internally dying over and over.

I MEAN. IT WAS A GREAT WEEK. I LOVE WRITING.

LoL

Summary:

• Potato Jack is basically done
• One BG….just one.
• *cries*
