September Update STICKERS? ANIMATION?
🕑 Added 2023-09-12 06:26:17 +0000 UTCHi! What's up guys. It's been half a month now and I'm back with a bunch of stuff!
Just to say thanks for all the support you've given to me, I've been in the process of making some merchandise on the side with a friend. I'm about the release my first batch of stickers! I'll be releasing more details in the future all Patrons interested in this :D They'll be free for you guys!
Just need some time to get prepared cause it's only me and him working on this at the moment ;ooo
The stickers look like this:
Kind of unsettling, imagine this on a laptop at school lol
I WAS BORN TO WORK RETAIL:
Really happy with the way the comic has been recieved so far! Right now on Webtoons it's on the second page of the most popular slice of life webcomics on the site! I hope by the next update I'll be able to reach 100,000 likes on there!
That's fucking nuts cause this comic is now competing with heavy hitters and comics that have been updated since 2019! This growth is unbelievable to me and I'm really thankful!!
Since the last time I posted I've added two new chapters to the comic, these are: "Darling Today I See" and "Above Victoria Peak"
Both of these chapters are part of a character arc I want to build with both Jenny and Zoey. I have 2 more chapters just in this setting alone and I'm really really curious on what people think after I finish it. This type of long extended chapters of storytelling is something I've never done before.
"Darling Today I See"
I want Jenny to be more of a little shit but still have a moral compas unlike Zoey. We see that Jenny here just to impress her work friends break into some club's rich compound. I totally have not done this when my friends were delivering food themselves. Totally never. Never. Back in a simpler dumber time in my life I guess.
"Above Victoria Peak"
Victoria Peak in Hong Kong is an interesting place. From the bottom of Victoria Peak you have SoHo and the commercial area, full of stock traders, business men, and cocaine addicts. It's the heart of Hong Kong and I'd consider where a lot of culture stems from. In the middle of the hill you have the Midlevels, a bunch of residential housing for middle class, and comfortable people. They live in tiny apartments poking out from the side of the mountain and are people who have stable clerk jobs and have been saving up their entire lives, unlike the poorer parts of Hong Kong, like the TST district and SSP.
High high up you have Victoria Peak, where the millionares and billionares in Hong Kong live. They live in their own compounds and have their own maids and servants who take private cars down to Soho and deliever food up to them.
I want Jenny to have a little taste on what she's missing out in life and reflect on what she's doing right now as a mere delivery driver. Does she have the same dreams to reach Victoria Peak? Or is she comfortable living her life as she is right now.
Two more chapters! I hope I'll have this arc finished so we can talk about it in the next post!
Koishi Project:
Steady progress, however I underestimated how complicated the final scene for part 1 I'd be working on will be. This part:
I've been moping around this scene and eventually a week later I completely rehauled it to makeit better. Originally the scene only had a linear camera going straight towards the screen. I changed it so it would circle around Koishi first before the vines around the background consumed her. I think this change is much more dynamic compared to what I had in the storyboard.
I hope I'd be able to have a complete set to showcase next update! This scene is murdering me.
Streaming:
My mic, headphones and streaming chair has been giving me issues as I've been using the same equipment for the last 4 years. I think it's time for them to retire. I'll be using the Patreon money to upgrade to a newer setup. I'll update you all on this if I get the new equipment in my next post! I hope I'd be able to stream next week!
That's it for 1/2 in September! See you all next update!! Thank you all for your support again :D
