May 2022 Update

This month was quite a roller coaster for me offline, but we pushed through, and it's time for another monthly check in!

 

May Summary


Webcomic Goals

The goal this month was to complete C7, and complete the lineart and flatting for C8 as well as some storyboarding. Unfortunately, I didn't meet my goals this month. This was how far I managed to go:


Picture 1: Chapter 7 WIP
Picture 2: Chapter 8 WIP
Picture 3: Chapter 9 Storyboard

Chapter 7: I managed to complete the shading of all the main pages (there are a couple of pages that I still need to finish, but I'm leaving that for last because I'm not entirely sure about the composition yet. However, I still need to work on the backgrounds ... which is the most painful part, as usual. Once the BG hell is over, the rest should be smooth sailing from there.


Chapter 8: I didn't get a lot of linearting done, and to be honest, most of the linearting was done in the past few days (which isn't even May anymore as you can probably tell by the date). May was a tough month for me offline.


Chapter 9: I completed the storyboard for C9 after a lot of script revisions. This was not the Abel/Frey fight that I aimed to storyboard last month (I don't quite remember why I wanted to storyboard it when it doesn't occur until chapter 10. It would have been reasonable for me to storyboard it otherwise, had it not been for the constant script revisions this month.


Illustration Goals

The goal this month was to complete the animated Wanda illustration for my patreon wallpaper, and I am proud to say that I managed to successfully complete it.

Picture 4: The Witch's Longing

To be entirely fair to myself and my lack of completion in my other goals ... this illustration took me an entire week. It wasn't so much the details or anything in particular. But moreso the fact that I wasn't satisfied with how the illustration turned out, and spent half of the week trying to improve upon it.


I am very proud to say that I think I accomplished my goals. Thanks to fellow artists online, I have learnt an astounding amount in terms of colouring, shading, lighting, and shadows. The piece is so much more ethereal than I originally intended it to be, and it brings me a lot of joy to look at this improvement.


I learnt a lot working on this piece, and that's all that matters to me. Here's to more improvements in the future!


Also, this is supposed to be animated, yes. But somehow uploading the gif here makes it look weird, so I'm only showing the static version.





Merch + Social Media Goals

No, I didn't stream 2 times this month and no, I didn't complete the brush set that I have been saying I would. The first two weeks of May, I was shading C7 on and off. The third week of May, I was working on the illustration. Then, on the final week of May, I got absolutely mauled by life itself. I don't know if I will continue getting trampled over in this coming month, but at least things are starting to look hopeful for me offline.

 

June Goals

Regarding my profession, I have an opportunity at getting a contract with my dream job this month. It's very nerve wracking, but it gives me hope for my future and a newfound motivation to pull through the daytime hours of this month. Should I get this contract, the time I am able to spend on my art may potentially decrease. So I hope that this month, I can focus on keeping up with my webcomic backlog. That's why this month, I'll just focus on webcomic and illustration goals.


Webcomic Goals

Complete C7, lineart C8 and begin linearting C9. Potentially storyboard C10 if there is time.


Illustration Goals

I don't actually have an illustration sketch lined up for me this month. I have absolutely nothing planned. But, that's a goal for myself to figure out this month!

 

No frills and games this month. I need to prepare myself so that I don't fall behind for the rest of this year! I hope next month I will come with good news. See you then! Ciao!
