Update about stuff, including project with Crazy-Wolf.
🕑 Added 2023-08-19 11:37:46 +0000 UTCHello everybody, hope you are enjoying your summer! :)
1) First of all, the new Starfox page is almost finished and will be posted at the beginning of September as billing will resume. Here's a quick sneak-peek for those of you in the €3 tier!
Concerning the future pages, I prefer to be honest and mention two changes I'll be making.
First of all, I'll be reducing the number of panels per page to maximum 6, including close-ups. If patreon was my full time job I would be able to keep creating pages with the current amount of panels, but it is not the case and unfortunately I am struggling to gain in speed: the Starfox comic is taking up quite a lot of my time, leaving little room for personal projects, such as Kylian's Adventures...
And the faster I can finish this little Starfox comic, the sooner I can continue with the remake of the Trollangina Challenge.
Secondly, just for the sake of spending less time on each page, I'll be getting rid of Wolf's top clothing and energy stocks, as those two alone take so much time to draw. I'll incorporate it to the story, so it won't seem weird nor out of the blue!
2) I've started reworking the first pages of Kylian's Adventure and will hopefully start posting them before the end of the year. I am still not satisfied with them, in fact those first pages have changed so much over the years. I've always wanted to do some sort of ATLA-like introduction ("A long time ago, the 4 nations lived together in harmony, blablabla..."), but it always ended up sounding like an info dump disconnected from everything else.
Not mentioning the whole prologue scene needs to introduce several characters, some pieces of world-building, etc, while keeping everything entertaining.
Now don't get your expectations too high: it's just my own silly fantasy story, but I can't help but doubt and change things as I go along.
3) I'm thinking about releasing the "script" of the story I was working on with Crazy-Wolf. Would any of you be interested in that?
I'm bringing this up because I've recently realized that next March will mark the 10th year anniversary of Crazy-Wolf's passing. Time really flies...I suppose that if you follow me for my fetish content, you all know who Crazy-Wolf was and there's no need for me to introduce that artist to you.
Me and Crazy-Wolf were working on a graphic novel project. I was a huge mix of stuff that somehow ended up working together: "steampunk evil nazis" meets "superhero genre" meets "vampires and ghouls underworld", featuring a cast of furry characters that could belong to a shonen. I approached him with the script and he was interested enough to give it a go, and maybe see if it could get published.
Now, I say "script" but it's more of a summary: I've never had all of the dialog written nor character names figured out.
He only worked on some basic character's sketches, was busy with other things IRL...and then he suddenly passed away.
I've always promised myself that I would bring to life that project, in a way or another, to honor his memory. I've left that story collecting dust at the bottom of a drawer for several reasons, the main ones being that Kylian's Adventure ended up becoming a more personal story I wanted to tell, and also that the script I sent to Crazy-Wolf aged poorly: that was written when I wasn't even 30 yet, so it's plagued with a lot of corny elements, plot-holes and other annoying characters among many other things. Not mentioning it touches on sensitive topics that I'm no expert with, and that could trigger so many different people for so many different reasons.
Anyway, I'm thinking more and more about polishing that summary, working on some of images, and releasing it, one "chapter" at a time, obviously on top of the other projects I have in mind for the patreon.
But before I get involved with that work, I'd prefer to know how many here would be interested, so let me know! :)

Taking note of that, thank you! :)

I'm have a few commissions I need to finish, but I might re-open in the future. It's just a matter to find the right equilibrium between work and what I want to draw so I don't burnout. :)

I said it before, but bringing this what you had planned with him to life somehow would be awesome! Even if it's just a rough idea you 2 had back then.

Perhaps one day, should you ever open up commissions again, I could plot further punishment for Wolf >;3 and a remake of trollinga? Exciting! X3 excited to see what you do next ~
