6/21 stream (finished)

today's probably going to be a short one.

6/14 stream (finished)

today i didn't get enough sleep, so it's going to be a slow and probably short one. it will also feature working on the actual writing document so if you aren't a fan of big potential spoilers then i would steer clear of this one.

fresh meat, page 64

EDIT: page is rendered now.

late upload, i just didn't want to deal with it tomorrow or monday. it's satisfying to have kim finally say that being reassured by the other patients that it'll be okay makes her feel even worse. i don't have much else to say about this page.
the palette looks way bad until i add the shading, it's actually k...

fresh meat, page 63

so i finished this page's flats on like... monday, i think. i guess it slipped my mind to upload it, though. 64's being lined today, so the flats for that page might go up tomorrow, too.

anyway, for this scene... it was a lot different in the script. after reviewing the progress of the story, i didn't think the point it made originally nee...

6/7 stream (finished)

so, what's winning in the poll is development streams. i'm going to focus on catharsis's development because it benefits me. this time i'm going to try to design a few less prominent members of the supporting cast that i know i'll need.

june poll

guess who forgot to put the poll up on the first again and just realized it!!! it's me. i need to start typing them out before i type out the update posts.

june 2020

hi again folks. it's a new month, so a new update.

there are a lot of protests currently going on about police brutality and the continued attack on black life right now, and you should at the very least donate to help these causes! there are lots o...

fresh meat, page 62

a very important page, in the grand scheme of things.

it also broke the "no longer than 3 lines" rule twice. sometimes, i REALLY feel like the dialogue suffers from the amount of visual space i have to work with. although i'm still going to try sticking to a 3 line maximum... i think if it's a single sentence, it probably won't be too diff...

one last stream before the month's over.

FaD strip: spectator match

my roommate has a cat. she's really good at sneaking up silently, and it catches me off-guard. usually when she comes into my room she's full body sprinting and flinging herself onto my desk while i'm drawing. i think she might not be a fan of the play fighting.

for this one i'm hoping to remember to draw the tablet pen in my right fist w...

guess who thought it was sunday and realized it was tuesday this morning? it was me. anyway, stream today instead then.

fresh meat, page 61

EDIT: page is shaded now

here we go... i don't have a lot to say about this page but that might just be because my neck is being weird today and it's hard to focus or say anything intelligent. sorry!
"you can't prove ANYTHING"/"neither can you" really sums it up anyway. this scene has one more page unless something catastrophic happens ...

5/10 stream (FINISHED)

gonna be doing more animal crossing style outfits for this one. feel free to drop a reference to a fursona or request a specific character, although i can't promise i'll draw characters in Any Outfit!

fresh meat, page 60

EDIT: shading is now done on this page.

i was surprised by how soon this second evaluation is when i opened up the script again. anyway, flats for now again, i'll be shading these pages eventually but i'd rather push the story forward currently.

even though the page was produced months ago, 6 pages ago kim was drawing a noose in the ...

5/3 stream (FINISHED)

just picking what seems to be winning in the poll so far. this time: animal crossing style drawings. if it ends up winning the poll i might offer requests for people's fursonas in the style since it's so simple, but it would be kind of a moot point to draw humans in it since you can already play the game as one.

may stream poll

fell asleep last night! then forgot i hadn't posted the poll yet!

may 2020

hi again folks.

last month wasn't good. at the beginning of the month it felt like the two medications i started were fine, but the antidepressant ended up causing me to start yawning all the time to the point where it was just like involuntary hyperventilation, which is apparently a rare side effect. the other medication has been causing ...

animal crossing outfit doodles

i drew a few outfits of catharsis characters in the animal crossing style with clothes from the game... this style emulation is fun because it's so limited. most of the characters are recolors of the same models.
i usually try to take examples of face or body shapes and textures seen in the canon into account and try to work with that, instea...

fresh meat, page 59

EDIT: shading on this page is finished now. i ended up giving the palette about 5 extra colors just because some of the previous choices were awkward for the sake of an invisible minimalist goal (ex: the shadows in carmilla's ears).

wow. a really rough, second break from fresh meat and a rough landing. i have the next page about half sketc...

4/5 stream (finished)

today's a fashion stream, and i'll probably be easing back into it by doing a few outfits for felix, since they'll be the protagonist of catharsis.

april stream poll

april 2020

hi again folks. sorry for the slightly late update, i've been having muscle spasms in my neck still and it makes it almost impossible to sit at my desk and draw. i should probably be taking the relaxants i was prescribed more faithfully, but they make me very very tired.

usually i like to do april fools' day themes for these images, but it...

march 2020

alright, hi again guys. i just finished moving to another state again yesterday and fixing up some more errands related to that today. it was a very messy trip, but it's done-ish now... still have a few boxes left to unpack.

this image is animal crossing inspired because everybody is doing it and i'm obviously excited about the new game. i...

update for march

hi again folks. this month has been really difficult for me physically. i was kind of hoping it was something to ride out (and still kind of am hoping it'll all just disappear) but it hasn't and we've got a little over a week left of this month.
so i'm putting up advance notice that i'm probably not going to be very well for wear in terms of ...

FaD strip: expletive memory

i'm not sure why i wanted to draw this strip, but it happened anyway. i think a primary driving factor was that it was shortish and involved juno, making it appealing when i have too many longer strips about dupe and gray and not a lot of energy.

unelaborated upon was the concept of memories that transcend dissociative barriers. there are ...

february stream poll

this poll will decide what i focus on whenever i sit down and stream for the month, rather than just what i do on sundays. i'm going to try to focus on patreon posts, and stream a little bit on days when i'm feeling able and have the time, stopping when it starts to hurt too much instead.
that's the gist: just, what i should focus on publishi...

february 2020

hi folks... sorry this one is a bit late.

i've been in and out of the ER a bit at the start of the month. apparently my neck and shoulder muscles are clenching REALLY hard and just don't want to stop! it's caused this confusing and loud ringing in my ears because i have the muscles that let me wiggle them in my face and made my head feel l...

update for february

hi folks. i don't know if anybody noticed, but i didn't post an update or poll on the first of this month. i went to the ER once on the last night of january and then again on february 1st. they told me they weren't really equipped to do anything for me at a hospital and i have to see an ears, nose, & throat specialist, since the most promin...
