episode 38 teasers + a few days delay notice

I opted to do a 20-panel/10-page episode because what could go wrong on a new year, then everything went wrong and my normally iffy mental state burned down to the ground. I'm trying to manage it to the best of my ability, but I have to apologize ...

art log but mostly Emet-Selch whoops

Look I HAD TO start practicing drawing Emet before his intro in the comic, but I haven't been myself since I started doing that. A disaster struck, I'm trying my best to keep it under control x'D

Fragments episode 37 early access

The next 2 updates, January 5 and 19, will take place on Patreon/Kofi/Discord only, as I want to double the number of new episodes people can see if the...

episode 37 teasers + art log

A masterpiece of a storyboard, Ardbert what are you doing here, amends for the angsty SB flashbacks (I just wanted to draw Alisaie smiling.. or grinning okay), being_with_vivi.jpg, and practice doodles of Emet whose intro in the comic is a few mon...

episode 36 teasers + new emote

A buncha vivis with varying degree of confused or silly, Titania really enjoying themselves, and a new cabboy emote. Unfortunately the cursed version has too many frames to be an actual emote, I tried heavily compressing it and discord would still...

Some doodles from around this weekend C:

Edit: added a new emote, I just wanted to draw him being edgy.

episode 35 teasers + art log

I'm so glad that I took an extra week for this episode, I could take care of some big chores, clear my head, and work on the comic stress-free. The last few pics are from tegaki, where I show up about two times a year apparently :'>

Updat...

art log

Here's something more tangible than a written thanks for your recent support C:

The big painting I made specifically after the patreon thing, and the sketchpages are a bit older, I think I've found a flavor of cat that I can draw virtually f...

I come bearing new emotes and a 1-week comic delay notice

Using the pill-sweetening tactic :'> These haurchemotes are going public tomorrow, 11.11, they're free-to-use with credit as usual. Download the zip archive with all the variants in this post's attachments.

Now, the less fun part. I wrote...

hi

I just wanted to gently remind you that you can increase your current pledge if you're able, this place needs to grow by about a half in order for me to stop freaking out every time someone leaves (people leave all the time, new people join, it's ...

episode 34 teasers

There are so many feo uls to color *chuckles* I'm in danger (because their coloring takes forever)

Last pic is Vivi's outfit for the next 4 or so episodes!

psa for free followers/members

I just noticed that Patreon added a (frankly pointless and misleading) option to join as a "free member". It used to be "follower" and didn't get in the way, now it literally makes things worse for everyone. I have no option to disable it on my en...

episode 33 teasers

I caught a cold but luckily my body managed to defeat it in 3 days, if that didn't happen I would've had to delay this episode. But all's well now, I'm back on track already, and the comic schedule's saved ;w;

Bonus: placeholder pic for corp...

episode 32 teasers

Alisaie goes through trials and tribulations (of own volition) while Vivi doesn't even notice that. Or, perhaps, he does, but thinks she's having fun or something x'D

episode 31 teasers + art log

Not much to tease about this episode since it's rather short and simple, a brief rest (for me, the author) between complex and detailed scenes that put a high demand on my art juices. Also the first episode to have either of the wolgraha completel...

episode 30 teasers + art log

A bit of speeding through the msq before settling in a multiple-episode scene. The "official" Il Mheg arc begins here, and is estimated to last for 4-5 months. Maybe longer, my brain's puny.

Ryne makes an appearance in this episode, but her ...

art log and 1-week comic delay

Next episode comes on September 8 instead of the planned 1, due to my real life bullying me. I had to fight some major guilt before making this decision, as I know that I might have to do this again sometime in October, while I wanna keep the comi...

reminder: check your pledge if you raised it for the artbook only

Before the month ends I wanted to remind you to edit your pledge if you raised it temporarily just to get the artbook (which is totally fine!), I released the artbook on August 5th, meaning that you'll be charged $10 again on September 5th. Please...

studies

Did a buncha color studies from Nimona yesterday. They're focused on low light, since I've been noticing that I struggle picking skintones in it. Someone else may just slap a blue filter over a default skin color but my standards won't allow me :'...

has anyone discovered me through ao3?

Just wanna know if the hassle that's posting my comic on ao3 is worth it. The site's strict no-promotion policy is a major pain that forced me to put ao3 on the lowest priority of my platform updates. But did it pay off at all? The poll's anonymou...
