Crossbones & Metal Brats

Lots of formatting, when original art is taking too long, I can update the lore docs, here’s an example. there’s always something new :)

Berserk Forces: Killer Elite, Alpha

From the assembly cut, new art, and some context for the ‘lore books’ being their own stories too.

MTIO: General Update 19. 06.25

- Grinding new episodes,
- Weekly updates, will be 2 pages if it's original content.
- I'll make announcements for big changes, episodes get actual marketing runs and revision work I'll log on Sundays
(When a weekly update reaches 15 pages I'll reformat it into an episode)

Record of ONI: Enter The Iron Shepard

I got cocky with the art, there’s a page I need to add that I didn’t finish!

Killer Elite: Alpha Company Armor Systems

Had to power through some ‘to do list items’, the interplanetary Wars segment is this week too, made a lil too much original art and slowed down.

But I’ll finish it and polish this too.

New Update tonight or tomorrow

Record of ONI: One (4 Pages)

Enjoy! I thought this would be more fun than archive updates. Some of these are 10 year old drawings, some original or recognizably recent. The main story is progressing fine. I just wanted to get a flow for writing again. (Surreal but drawing is the easy part heh)

Record of ONI: Friedenist Baku’ Toad-3 (Type 3)

Higher def when I'm back home, didn't realize it was so small an image.

Progress/Delays

- grinded the new art and formatting this weekend, I'm sorry this stuff isn't as visible.
- gonna prioritize the revision and production of E6. E7 and E8, as well as the Interplanetary Wars as the weekly content.
- Pre-production/marketing is gonna get pulled this month so I can catch up.

Featured here: WIPs from the next wave of...

Killer Elite: Armor Systems

(Individual lore pages will be finalized in the proper release with finished art and corrections if required)

MTIO General Update: 1.06.25

- The writing issue was trying to tell the story in chronological order, the solution was separating each POV into episodes. Some pages need exposition and a few panels to make it a smooth read.
- For safety, I definitely gotta fix E6, at least the missing dialog.
- Berserk Forces got a collection so readers can familiarize themselves wi...

PSA: Episode VII Delay

The art is coming along fine, but the writing just isn't where I want it to be.

A week or 2 depending on if these rewrites need new art.

I'll have some content to upload in the meantime. I'd like to rest, correcting plot holes and the story is not something I can do under pressure like I can with the art.

General Update 25/05/25

I've been making some good progress , but I noticed via my work log. A lot of mistakes accumulate from rushing again. The biggest one is indecision (which is crazy), I don't want to have two unfinished episodes - so I'll have to call this on Friday.

Still I got plenty for weekly updates should a delay be required.

MTIO Archives (Production Notes): On Exoskeletons And Powered Armor

These posts I can update and expand on as I progress, to reduce clutter and expedite editing.

This isn't a replacement for the lore books, just I can provide more updates and reader facing content instead of having this stuff forgotten in my notes

MTIO General Update 18.05.25

- Archival organization underway: (consolidating threads for updates, and designing a template for new archival uploads)
- EVII is underway, entering the page crunch.
- I got contracted for a pretty lucrative art gig, so next week, I will be radio silent
- I'm still aiming for May 30th. Setting objectives has been a big help in motiv...

Divergent Evolution of Wartime ODST BDUs

MTIO: Elevator Ride

MTIO Archive: UNSC Army Ranger (Design & Panel works)

MTIO [Versus] Archive: Combatives Outfits

Sunday GP #15

I'll be retiring Sunday GP, to focus on weekly updates and future episodes.

Now I have enough progress to consolidate everything into the relevant narrative. I can inform readers with more specific and contextual commentary when I update or release new content

Notes:
- Episode Zero, was designed to place Berserk Forces in an '...

Slipspace Era 591

Next Episode May 30th

I made E6 in 2 weeks (6 pages were predrawn), E7 There are 2 predrawn pages. So I'm gonna give myself two extra weeks.

Monthly updates for the main stories.
Weekly for peripheral items :) (Sunday GP, will have titles etc like I mentioned before)

Episode VI

[Click Here to read!]
This episode isn't finished, it's readable however. (Missing dialog from an plot hole, missing page and unfinished panels)
I needed a deadline to get moving again

Next Episode, May 30th <...

MTIO PSA

Since this is the longest gap between episodes since E2 - I'll be doing a cut which combines E5 and E6.

The newer content is a bit clunky to fit as I hoped (multiple POVs on different planets in the same episode does not read well)

E6: Paradise The Inner Colonies Part I (April 30th)
- (Works to follow)
E7: Paradise The Inner...

Sunday GP #14

Grinding E6, the grand scheme after release is shortening the wait times between episodes. Without increasing my workload.

thankfully the project is getting easier, skills increase, more resources and more pre-prepared materials.

Sunday GP 13#

Will write more and show some more art later. Need to do some chores and rest.

My Time in ONI will continue on April 30th

7 Pages from E6: Paradise, The Inner Colonies Part 1

General Update: MTIO Full Metal Brat

Vacation got approved. So I'm gonna crunch E6.

Operation Silent Storm Color grading

Sunday GP #12

entire comic, both sagas can be read in assembly cut form. Some pages just need graphics or text, others full inking. Etc

while reading, I decided to stick to my current release schedule, I don’t mind collabs needing specific context or materials. The story isn’t the same if you know all the context. (I was going to move Killer Elite u...
