Update #21 - Season 2 Johto (Officially) Begins! (Patreon)

Yeah, yeah, I know last week's update was similar, but this is the official OFFICIAL start!

I wanted to cover a few things that have been taking place behind the scenes: Mainly, I wanted to go through a slew of massive setbacks the past few weeks.

First, I was intending on putting up a post about the creative process last week, for those who are curious. It included several screenshots, filled with step-by-step outlines of how I create Moemons from simple 2D Sprites. After typing up for about an hour, a rain storm knocked out power (briefly) and erased EVERYTHING. So.. That will have to come later, unfortunately!

Second was with Lugia; her Shiny version became corrupted, which, although Shiny versions don't take TOO long, it was still a loss. I haven't yet updated it, but it will in the coming weeks.

Third, Mega Typhlosion took a really long time to make - Koikatsu started freaking out and MaterialEditor changes kept reverting. So, I had to come back to it later (today), but in the process I actually forgot to copy her fangs over to her other outfit slots, including molten fangs for her 2nd slot! Woops! I'll have to fix later before it goes public >_<

There were also a few other minor setbacks, but I think we BARELY managed to meet the deadlines before too late.

As it stands, I didn't even get to enjoy my break! I had this idea to rework the Legendary Trio and that took up soo much time, although the final result is lovely, I didn't get to rest!

It's not all bad though, I still feel refreshed. But, in order to NOT get burned out as fast, I'll be pushing back the Thursday Gym Leader post for Fridays, instead, for this Gen, and see how that works.

I want to try doing larger same-day posts rather than tiny posts sprinkled throughout the week. Let's see how that works out!

What's next?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

This Thursday will be Gym Leader Ava (Falkner), which fortunately, I have discovered some genderbent artwork that I'll be using to design them from. Here's a look at her:

With her will be two Flying Moemon, Hoothoot & Noctowl:

As well as another pair of super cuties, Sentret & Ferret:

I also want to do a little something on Sunday, but I'm not 100% sure how it will look just yet, so no promises on that.

In addition, I'll likely try and push out the updated Charmander family, but that will take a lot of work - I want to add a "fire" effect to their tails (FINALLY) with the new lava/fire texture I used with the Cyndaquil family with MaterialEditor. Give me some time on that, though!
