Hoy and here we go, and on time this week, impressive!

Workflow:

This week, and the end of the month, ll be dedicated to = Comms and patreon monthly. Got 3 comms on the way and 2 patreon monthly. The Comms are a sketch series in b/W one comic page and one goblin thing. If i can i would like to take a day to do the new CYOA first image too!
Started to gather monthly 57 references so ll certainly drop the first rough tomorow.
I might allow myself to do several pages comics, but keep it in a sketch style, wanna test that and got a few ideas in mind . Several like 1 to 3 pages tots, i'll see when i do it tomorow. But i'm sure you guys won't complain about it X)
Note i'll go next week for christmas holiday for 4/5 days, not sure when i come back yet but i go the Monday. I'll see if i have the time to prepare a surprise for it, if not, well i'll just try to work a lot this week, even more if i can't draw for several days in a row! =D
In the same time ll keep testing those new trciks i learned in past weeks, gotta keep leveling

Some Anime talk:

Following Arcane decided to get back on some anime serie i had on the side. Started one my brother recomanded and another i was curious about cause a few friends said good thing about it.
The anime is Mushokou tensei. I won't lie, the base promise didn't made me wanna watch it but, so far at episode 12, and i'm gladly surprised!
So for those who dunno it, a small resume.
It's an Isekai, so yes, why i wasn't that hot about it, but.. with some changes that made it quite interesting. First, none of those EZ Lazy "interface is like a video game" shit, it's more DnD, you don't have sheets, you got to spend years reading books to learn magic and throw spells, train at the sword etc etc, no "i learned this special skill" etc etc. YOu wanna learn technique, grab a sword and train.
Second, the protagonist.. truelly reincarnate for once. No "oh i came into the world as a 18 yo." The character is born a baby, dunno the language, first few episode is "i live as a toddler and 3/4 yo" and actually his previous life come bite him in the ass. Guy was an hikikomori, and spent years not going out, so he start with a strong agoraphobia and spend several episodes learning to sociabilize again. So overall, so far, good show, that often go against the grain. yes the character is better at magic, but he got a 30 yo intelligence at birth, so he got an adult patience to learn early to practice magic at early age, therefore is seen as a prodigy etc etc.
Only low point is... damn it's ... often Echii to a degree that is cringe AF. Like... Character is 30 yo in a 5 yo body and lust after his preceptor pantie lvl of Cringe. Know it. But it slowly get tamer in the second half of the season.. at least it is for a few episodes now. Another good point, animation is fluid and rather nice
But i'm also told that the second season is way less cool than the first, i guess i'll see when i get there :/
Other stuff i wanna watch is the end of the She-ra series, had stopped at Season 3, and the Dragon prince, same stopped after the season 3 end. Both were show that a friend loved deeply and i wanna learn more about it.
He also had told me to look at the Owl House, and... why not? I remember back then he had influenced me to watch Steven Universe.. was in the depht of depression, and the show actually helped.
Funny how so many of the "kids" show those days are way deeper than when i was a kid.. i mean... most of our shows where giant advertise for toys XD
But in the end.. Batman is the one that stuck with everyone, and overall was one of the deeper meaning shows. When i think of those modern kids show, even if tone is wildly different, it s the one that align the most with those. The "we can sell toys BUT also tackle serious things"
That said if any of those show please me might do a fan art or two passing by.

TFT:

I became relatively addicted to TFT recently XD.
Like, was a game i used to play a lot, i do it again, put a vid on the side, and play one or two game in a row watching it.
I kinda like auto batler, it's often deeper than it seems strategy wise, as placement can wildly change how it goes. I'm not super bad, i often end in the top4. But i would lie to say i m really good either X)
Still, enjoying it a lot. Also made me wanna draw more of those SD style. used to do a lot in the past. Wanna learn to do some with my own style, see how it goes, i'll look it up in the coming days i think. OR maybe bring a sketchbook and work on that while i would be at my mom place for christmas.
SFW, and could draw with my nephews^^ One of them is really into drawing, wanna learn stuff and all, so, giving him some advice and tips when i come by ^^ It's the same that i offered some 40 k figs, so.. let's say i'm turining him into a mini me =D
Poor kid, dunno how bad he will have it XD.
