I have scheduled all Pure Light comic posts for the next few months. There will be two updates per week for a while. Grisly Tales is well underway too. End of April/beginning of May deadline is still on.
After that I'm flying back into the remaster. If I work hard there will be no break in posts.
I've also made a scroll format editio...

As of the time of this writing, I have finished 15 pages of chapter 3. The others are still in some stage of development. I expect to be able to return to working on remastered pages in May. I will likely have enough works left to upload until then.
The first few pages of chapter 3 are my least favorite, unfortunately. Just standard cleanu...

Double update because technically you've likely already seen this page in the remaster announcement. This is where we end with chapter 2 for now. But we'll continue right on to chapter 3 in a few days. Thank you for the support so far, I really appreciate it! I hope you'll stick around for chapter 3, because that is were the visual treats really...

This and the next few pages had the most dramatic overhaul in the second half of the chapter. A full change in color palette and tone. For the better, I'd say. A few perspective fixes, improved distance perception and contrast, and you got yourself a nice new page. I'm honestly quite happy with the result here.
2022-02-01 11:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
I think it's time for another overview of local happenings. But first, thank you all again for your continued support for my comic endeavors! I'm very grateful for your interest and generosity!
I hope you've been enjoying the Pure Light remaster so far. I'm especially looking forward to showing you chapter 3! Updates ...

Definitely one of the most satisfying moments of the comic, I'd say.

Ah, and there we have Moneybags. Another classic Spyro npc. One of the most fun aspects of PL was to have this new set of characters, who all have their own stories and live in a new world, interact with the old, familiar cast. Even though most of them come with their own PL-twist. There's just something oddly satisfying about it.

Ember, oh Ember. What to make of you. I've always felt a bit conflicted over Spyro's version of Amy Rose. Ridiculous, considering she's an unimportant, forgotten npc with maybe 3 lines of dialogue. It's all thanks to the fandom that she's so popular.
Back in the day, I was a bit annoyed with the overly feminine, flowery design. But t...

I can't add much commentary here as the pages speak for themselves.
In other news, I've recently started putting all my efforts into finishing Grisly Tales part 1. Since the deadline for that was and still is June of this year. If I can follow the lenient schedule I made for it, it should be done by mid-May. I haven't made a final de...

Yeah, so back when I first drew PL pages, I had a tendency to do these 'double joke' panels where the punchline was only a small change in expression. So I didn't have to draw the second panel traditionally and would just copy paste it. It's not a very advisable way of working as it's quite boring visually It's also... not that funny, let's be h...

This is where the remaster really begins to look fresh. No more bland, washed out colors.
I think one of the aspects I liked the most about Pure Light, and what made it unique, are the crowds. Even though the different fantasy creatures didn't play an important role to the main story, they're definitely what made the world feel most ...

I apologize for the delay on this upload. I had forgotten to add gold vfx to this page and only did so today. I'll see to getting a regular schedule for the next pages.
Anyway, medusa is as fancy as ever. Though Chimero will always be my favorite of the main darker trio. RIP chimmy changa.
Though it isn't immediately obvious, increasing focus is a big part of remastering these pages. I need the reader's eye to immediately jump the most important part of each frame. I do so by zooming in more, increasing contrast and saturation where I want the viewer's eye to go, which is usually the face or in this case; fancy ol' Medusa slitheri...

Despite the VFX having aged here, I actually still quite like this particular page. The elements shown here are each distinctive and the motion feels smooth.

Since I am uploading regularly again, I would like to resume regular monetization of this account. Though this is not what you signed up for originally, I implore you to stay. I've said it before but the remaster of Pure light chapter 3 is slowly turning into a full on remake. It looks so much better. And I'd love to sha...

This page is...unfortunate. Even as a remaster there's little to salvage. I added a bit more lineart and fixed the resolution inconsistency. But this one is just not worth spending more time on. I put the saved hours into action scenes instead.

I finally colored in the characters. 8 years late but here you go.

"So that's why they call you a digger. You dig."
I use these uploads to talk about different things that came to mind while working on the remaster. One is the removal of the word "digger"
Long ago, when Pure light was fresh and new and the internet hadn't been completely ruined by US politics, 'digger' was literally just that; an in...

Burner's design took the longest to stabilize. It's only by page 77 of the comic that his design stops changing. For the faces, I have to change almost every single panel. Mainly the eyes. Because those bothered me the most. If your eyes look good, you can get away with a lot of anatomical errors.
With these pages, I really didn't touch th...

Jumping straight into the madness.
As you can see, we immediately skipped 20 pages. That is because I am still deciding on whether or not to redraw those from scratch. You see, I am also currently writing the ending of Pure Light. We have a new ending from the one years ago because that one was... bad.
Because it's no lon...

I love and miss them so.
Thank you for the feedback on my suggestion. I'll re-activate the Patreon again next month and will be uploading Pure Light-related content until that project comes to an end. After that, it's straight back to Sunmakers where I belong.
But if you stick around in the meantime... Well, I might share a little se...

hello there!
It's been another few quiet months for Sunmakers. And it doesn't seem like there will come an end to that soon. In order to not let this Patreon collect more dust, I have a suggestion.
You see, I have been working on 2 different projects. One is obviously Grisly Tales. And the other is the Pure Light remaster.

Hello!
I haven't done any updates for a few months to let you know what I've been working on. Mostly because progress has been slow. But slow doesn't mean none at all.
First and foremost; Empyreans.
Before the update, they were pretty mishmashed as a group. A lot of them didn't look like they were even the same spec...

Another month has passed and it's time for an update as to what I have been up to.
The good news is that I have finished sketching all of Sunmakers episode 1. Not including the ones that are already available, there will be 63 pages. (so 93 for the full episode) I have plans to print the comic out once the first episode ...

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to drop by to show a glimpse of my progress after 2 months of hard work. Sadly I didn't make my end of march deadline due to having been sick with covid. So there are 2 issues out of 15 left unsketched. Once I have sketched everything, I can finally start finishing the pages.
I also included some non-spo...
