Sneak Peeks: New Video Stuff!

Hiyo! It may not look like it, but I am still plugging away at channel visual update things, and lots of Patreon goodies as well. So I bring you some lookie loos at what's in the works!

NEW IDLE SCREEN!

Finally finished! Fancy! The phone screen is transparent so I can swap out logos at some point down the line, and colors can easily be adjusted if it turns out to be too bright for viewers who listen to my stuff for sleep. ^^

While I like the cell shading, I may also toy with some actual proper rendering at some point. But for now, good enough for government work! I'm lazy!

NEW END SCREENS!

...with possibly a couple more on the way! All done by me on bases purchased from Zhenzhu.

While these were in development, I also played around with an entirely different style of end screen. I hoped that I could use some of the other art I commissioned, but the vibe was just off. Ultimately I decided to keep the original cutesy chibi + clouds with a small update rather than throw the baby out with the bathwater and go in a totally new direction.

Here's a look at the discarded end screen possibility!

Velvet art: MachikoTammy

The plan was for the "outfit of the day" Polaroid to swap out to thematically match each video's content. I liked the idea, but I think branding consistently in at least one aspect -- especially with so much of the visuals changing -- is important.

NEW LOGO MAYBE?

A few months back, I commissioned a bunch of new logos prototypes. One artist who shall remain nameless ghosted me entirely after payment, but everyone else was a dream! It's time to finally show their hard work off!

While I liked them all for SO many different reasons, Frostking Design's take on the logo was an early favorite. It's the one I'm leaning toward when the channel branding is updated! (Though CallmeAlfarez is also a contender!) Ultimately, it depends on how a logo fits with the new intro art...speaking of which:

NEW INTRO ART!

...no previews for these! They're still in WIP. But a run down of what is officially paid for and in the pipeline!

• 4 original pieces to last from autumn 2025 through autumn 2026. Deadline: August.

• 9 "Your Character Here" pieces, with more (including spicy ones!) to come as I can fit them into the budget. Deadline: September.

The first batch of original intros will change seasonally as videos are released. I don't have even sketches for them yet, but here's a peek at the "vibe references" I sent to the artist for each one:

(No image credits I'm afraid, as these references from google images, mostly from anime wallpaper sites. Good luck hunting down the originals! I certainly couldn't!)

The YCH pieces, which will be coming a bit later, will either stay Patreon exclusives and/or become 2026-2027 intros. Which is insane to think about? I'm planning that far ahead? (ᵕŏᴗŏ)

The themes vary: Gothic! Monster girls! Pretty, pretty princess dresses! General cuteness! A boob or two! And more!

Welp, that's all I've got for you for now. I've got to go finish up this week's audio. Back soon with early access for ya!
