This animated gif doesn't show up properly on patreon app, but it shows up on browser and email I hope.
These fight scenes are most time consuming to create, but the fastest to be consumed due to the lack of dialog lol, which shorten the chapter ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌
but these don't happen that often in comparison to non-action scenes, just once in a while to display her power (^○^)
They talk more on the next chapter, which reveals more about the dynamic on their first meeting.
The dialog is still on first draft right now and need to go thru a lot of polishing still. It should be a longer read than last chapter cos its not just fwoosh and blam lol.
These panels already done in color, but I have mixed feeling about posting sneak peek, cos sometimes I feel it can be too spoiler, so I just post the early black and white before the color is in. （＾∀＾）

This is the Hi-Def version from the prolog, as requested by a patron.
The story still moving linearly toward this point in time, and I'm looking for different ways to boost my efficiency to produce faster, so we can get to this point sooner than later (since I'm also impatient to get to this point lol). Sigh, I wish I have a clone of myself sometimes (ｰ ｰ;) lol
the full Hi-Def image of this will be the first HD wallpaper for March 2018.
I'll post it sometime tomorrow (∩_∩)
It's one if the earlier design of her outfit and her hellion power.
Next chapter due to upload this friday is like 97% done as this point, I just need to run the grammar with my second beta reader tomorrow. ヽ(ﾟ∀｡)ﾉ

Art process of next chapter's preview.
She's not looking too happy, I wonder why lol
As of right now, the dialog is still in first draft, but the artwork of next chapter (due to upload on March 2nd) is 90% done (in its print format).
Still need to be converted to webtoon vertical format, fix a bunch of dialog stuff, and then go through feedback + grammar check from my two beta readers. (￣∇￣)
This is from last week's chapter. The process from latest chapter will be posted next week or so, to avoid spoilers, in case some patrons doesn't read the latest chapter immediately.
01 Rough sketch of the water, with ink and shaded character.
02 Flatting the base color.
These first two steps are done in Clip Studio Paint.
Moving on to photoshop for the backgrounds cos I'm gonna use photobashing and transform tool for the backgrou...

I have a bunch of pre-production sketches from way long before I even started drawing the first panel of the comic. I'm gonna start posting it here on patreon as a part of behind the scenes stuffs.
I learned about modelsheet from 2D animation classes, waayy back during art school.
Having character modelsheet helps to keep the character look more consistent throughout the story.
Her look kinda evolve tho, cos this was drawn a while ago ◔_◔
I'm just making her hair simply long w...
This is the process of how this panel is made, from the chapter when North was in the neighbor's home.
It's not possible for me to draw very natural human pose out of my head without spending too much time on it, so I use massive amounts of photo references on almost every panel of my comic.
I got the idea from this Japanese mangaka named Boichi. His art on Sun Ken Rock (a seinen manga I read on crunchyroll) was freakin phenomenal.
On one chapter he shared that he took photos of his a...
I recycle the princess first appearance to be the next chapter's title art, since this next one going to continue the sequence of where we left off, with the song Yellow Flicker Beat continue playing from the chorus.
I highly recommend having Spotify open for this next chapter, since it will not feel the same without the song, the lyric fits perfectly for this sequence.
I wanna get all fancy schmancy too, so starting February 16 (2018 Chinese New Year), Mission Diversion will have...

Howdy patrons of awesomeness! （＾∀＾）
Here's my first post on the drawing process from black and white ink to color. I'm making this public as a one time only sampler of what the patrons rewards look like in addition to the hi-def wallpapers.
Image 1 to 3 is done in clipstudiopaint, while the effects are all added in photoshop.
This panel is taken from next week's comic upload (2/16/2018).
I cropped it to avoid spoiler, but the full image of this will be the March 2018 hi-def ...
Please read the comic chapter uploaded to webtoon earlier tonight, before you download this to avoid spoiler.
This is the final panel before to be continued. These are the same image, just a couple different versions, one is clearer than the others.

These are all High-Def panels from last month's chapter, the shower scene at the lovely neighbor's home (^_-)
I included the one covered with steam and the one without steam.
The chapter uploading tomorrow is set in a cold climate, so he'll be all bundled up in his uniform and he won't have any reason to take it off anytime soon lol.
But rest assured, this won't be the last time this cold man taking his clothes off ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The script have a lot of fun stuff planned, but its ...

I begin adding HD wallpaper as a monthly reward, this is the clean, textless, high-res version of the after shower abs shot, for patrons only. You can download it from the attachment below. (⌒∇⌒)
Edit 1/27/2018
I added the 6 wallpapers for the public below in case you'd like to download it without going to gumroad.
I'm still figuring out how all these patreon posts work, thank you guys!
Howdy my lovely patrons! ◉‿◉
First off, I'd like to thank all 8 of you for signing up voluntarily prior to this announcement, your amazing generosity was a big boost of my morale and very very much appreciated.
This patreon page was originally created to participate in Webtoon's pledge program for Discover creators, which eligibility was raised up in 2018.
Their change of rules has led me to explore other avenues to sustainably fund the future p...
These panels goes online on this friday's upload.
I wasn't much of a tattoo fan in real life, and the original character design for North was based off those conservatively clothed Mr. Darcy type characters from British romances lol.
But then I had this idea of putting Napoleon's 'There shall be no Alps” quote on his back as a tattoo, to enhance his ambitious character.
I thought I was gonna stop there, to keep the character design clean and not messy, but then a few weeks ago I ...

This is the original print format sketch of the kiss scene from the "Breathing Underwater" prologue that I decided to delete out of the final colored version.
Romance is a big part of my comic, but I feel that if I started the comic with a kiss this early, it will attract the wrong kind of readers (who just wanna see anime-styled characters making out and not care much about the story lol) ┐(´～｀)┌
Especially since after the prologue, the story begins with a lot of the char...
