Book 3 is done! (Patreon)
Content
What an insane week that was. There were several times I didn't think we would make it but it turns out that if you just keep working no matter how tired you get, turns out the job gets done haha.
As promised, here are a few pics that didn't make the final cut, or that we dropped halfway through development. Not sure how many of you have worked with AI art, getting it to give you what you want can take hours per picture. Still infinitely faster than doing it by hand though, and the process sure does stir the creative juices. Can't say how many times I've had a fun or cool idea that spawned from playing around with the art. If you ever try to write your own story, I highly suggest it!
My favorite of the bunch. While trying to create the newest race, I accidentally Kefka lol
Concept art for Firandel: Capital of the Remalonian Syndicate
Our current WIP for book three cover art. Jiran in his 'egg' waking up as a Remalon
Jiran in his aura-resistant suit in the tier four arena
One of the many, many attempts at creating the pillar of mana in the arena before I gave up on it
Princess Vironia giving Olive a hard time, because... culture. Yeah, we'll go with that.
Thank you for being so patient with us over the past few months. Releases have been slower for book five and I don't have a solid time frame for when that will change. Now that book 3 is done, book 4 is on the chopping block. Which means my work load won't be reducing for a few more months. Once that's over, I'll be needing a break to recharge. So, for the foreseeable future, two chapters per week is the most I can commit to without getting burned out.
I have a ton more adventures planned for Jiran and Co. so we can't be having none of that.
Cheers to a happy weekend everyone and as always, thank you for your support!
