I have been surprisingly doing well, I had high fever for 2 days. Eh... Then I have just had cold, so I could sit up for a bit. Updating a comic then ;D
I will apologies if updates for both my comics in September will be slow, I got a high fever. I am assuming it might be Corona, though to how long it took to become fever, and that I have had hallucinations and can barely sleep from muscle aches.
At least I can sit up a little, I really hate laying in a bed all day. But besides all that, I am taking care and do good.
I was over the moon in the weekend. I use Krita now, but before Krita, I had Paint Tool Sai. And for whatever reason, teen me did not save these old WeatherChaotic concepts in restorable files. They were only in Sai Files, and Sai files, there isn't many paint programs that can open a Sai file.
I tried like very complicated computer things to recover them, but I am not good with computers at all or code. Till I found out that I could just download Paint Tool Sai again and recover them. I had a 1 day trial to do that.
And there was 14! Recovered concepts from early development on WeatherChaotic. Nice job teen me, from just almost throwing away such old and early roots of your characters and story.
Funny, I am not good at organizing. The WeatherChaotic folder is some time scattered, I found an old txt file what these concepts would have looked in color.
Jon was supposed to look more like Emerald, it is cause these two are related of course. But even reading that today, glad that I made him blue instead.
Bridget was supposed to have a sunset kind of color scheme, making her orange.
And the unnamed member in the Yote Family at the moment, big bear! But I will hint her name, her original name was Luisa, so her name starts with an L. It will be revealed soon. She was supposed to be yellow and green, giving kinda Tinkerbell vibes, I don't think that was the original plan. I just saw that right now cause of her hair xD
Sorry for the long thread! I just thought I wanna share what I found.
Don't worry about me giving some pages on newer projects. I have prepared sketches for Komodeko's Under Threat. And another project called Tanya & Thor, might come out as well some point soon.
Enough people have spoken! WeatherChaotic is getting a new font. The original is hard to read for many.
I have shown examples on Instagram and the new font should be at least not a fight to read. The old pages is being edited, for new readers coming along.
Sorry if WeatherChaotic released later. I don't know if I am bad at AM or PM, or if Tapas wants me to manual release my episode. Even know I scheduled it.
I put it on a schedule for a reason Tapas, for it to automatically release on the time I put it on! -_-
Hello! I am still alive, I have just been on a general burnout, so I had to try drawing something else instead of being stuck on WeatherChaotic. I love my works and will only end them if I have been badly injured and couldn't do it anymore.
Tapas logs me out often, that is something their have implemented. So my account isn't hacked, I will say I have gotten sick of this constant log in and out, so I check up a few times.
This may also be a little bummer for somebody, if you have AI generated covers or banners. I am not interested reading your work already. I am only interested in works made by humans, and the first thing you should be doing is show that in the cover and banner. And it is not to generalize but I notice many of these AI works are novels. If you are a novel writer just make the cover and banner yourself, then I am willing to try. My attention to novels if they aren't graphic novels are already thin.
Many ways you can do that, draw it, photo bashing images you are allowed to use. Or your own hands! buy some glue and cut things out and make a cover or banner like that. That is how to get my attention, and that is the point.
If the story is also AI generated then I am not interested. It gotta be you who wrote most of it.
I also notice many of them, privately posting on my wall here that their AI novels are NSFW. And it is not the bloody kind, I am talking about sex scenes. If that is the main plot, no thanks, this also go to the human written work of that genre. Your story can have the elements, but if it is the main plot focus I am not interested.
I like to read any genre, but that kind of NSFW, and that is only kind meant<3
Good to hear you're not gone! Sorry to hear you've been having a burnout. It is good to take a break from things when those happen and work on something else. :) I'm not fond of AI art either and always prefer human made art and stories.
Thank you<3. Also glad to hear I got a comment that was not hitting me over the head on how much of a luddite I am, cause I am not. How all this AI is right now, not only in the art space, literally anywhere is worrisome.
I am working so much on WeatherChaotic. But I am also in this weekend working on my unnamed comic project. And I suddenly got the freedom again for my Danish class to write my own prologue for a graphic novel, finally.
