So we set aside Ben and Kevin's little portion of the battle for whatever the fan alien might be doing. I left 5 pages open between Danny and Vlad's moment, and Planet Buster's debut.
When we decided to use all three, we set up this board, and sat in a call f...

We're almost there! This will be the last update until after Chapter 8 is out. Then we will spend about a month talking about some cool BTS about Ch8 that we couldn't until you've already seen it, and then move on to Chapter 9!
Looks like Statter is making his way nicely into the...

This is something I don't show too often - posts from our secret group!
This is from way back in the day (about a year and a half ago), while we were still in the early stages of planning Chapter 8. The idea evolved a lot since then.

So after Chapter 8 drops, what should you expect to see us upload every few days?
Honestly, quite a lot.
There's tons of little behind-the-scenes stories, drawings, and production art I've been dying to share for nearly a year. KurotheWebsite.com will indee...

We're getting so close to the release! I thought in this update, I'd just tease you with a pretty neat panel.
If you haven't already noticed, I post updates every few days, not just once a week. So you'll probably have another three-to-fou...

I made the switch from the Traditional-to-Vector Method to a 100% Digital Method during Chapter 8's production. So Chapter 8 actually has two distinct Art Shifts - one from Chapters 7 to 8, and anothe...

Alright guys, I'm approaching another point where I can't show much - so what would you like to see in the next update? New character, concept art, or a special preview panel?

Sorry this update was delayed. I just moved into a new place and reset-up my office.

Not 5YL related, but if you're a fan of PIEGUYRULZ's weekly Podcast - in which I've been a guest on several times - we are discussing Toy Story 4 and I drew all the YouTubers who will be on as toys. Here's an early preview! - Kuro

The 5YL Timeline so far (Ch1 through Ch7) is only about three-or-four days. Originally, it was going to be much longer. There were much more character-building scenes like from Chapters 2, 5, and 7, but as this is a webcomic and not an animated program, reading...

Here's another quickie. While switching to digital, all of the backgrounds will be much more polished than before. Here, we see the Keshawn Desert, which will be the setting for the battle that's about to come. We achieve this look between a combination of texture brushes and a grain filter.
