February 2022 - Monthly Review Log (Patreon)

After the success of last months summary I thought I would make it a regular thing and tell you what I've been up to during the shortest month of the year. Also it was my birthday this month so, another year older I guess ;P

Tf Art:

I've been really happy with the responses I've had to big tf projects like the Wrestling comic, as well as my sketches and smaller projects. I still find it strange that I have as many followers as possible but few people who seem to "like" or comment on my work, but I'm guessing from your continual support that you're enjoying what you're seeing. I'm thinking about how I can engage people more in this, and some of my future projects may involve community polls.

We're coming to the final Pokémon comics, which should lead to quite a fun conclusion (based on a battle I had a while back at the end of my game). I am currently looking at getting through some old projects, especially as new ones tend to crop up all the time.

Non-TF Art:

My website is fixed! Finally got the comics to behave as they should, which means I'll be posting more of them up there soon, as well as do an overhaul of some of the design elements. March is also the time that I work on Yokai-themed work, which means I can make some new merchandise and books. I'm currently looking at getting some new pin badges now that I'm almost at the end of my original kitsune ones.

Wargame models:

After the success of my archers, I decided to have a crack at some more batch painting using my living stone method while it was still fresh in my mind (and while the paint was still fresh too). There's about 30 stone spearmen as opposed to the original 10 I did and unfortunately I didn't have enough time to finish the set. I'm gonna put more time into them this week and see if I can knock them out once and for all. After that I might change things up a bit and build some new things.

Gaming:

Oh boy! Elden Ring has been the driving force this weekend and I've put a good number of hours in both solo and co-op with two different builds. I have a Samurai Mimiko and a Prisoner Lévi wandering around and I must say it's an amazing world to explore. I love the Souls games, and this has everything I like about them with a scale that blows my mind. I don't know if I can give many spoilers but I feel like this game is going to keep me going for a while.

Before I started Elden Ring I got to the credits of Pokémon Legends Arceus and well, as a game I had very low expectations with, I still can't believe how much I enjoyed playing it. In fact I still want to do more on it, there's so much to fill up with the pokedex, and it's incredibly satisfying. A lot of you probably saw the announcement about the new Pokémon generation and I have to admit I'm very intrigued. I'm curious to see what direction they will go with the story and gameplay, after a disappointing gen 8. I will say that the starter choice will be difficult since I usually have a rule about picking grass except for every third gen. Don't get me wrong, I really like the fire croc design, but the grass kitty is cute asf...

Ah well, there's plenty to play in the meantime xD
