Ep. 39: Looking Back... The Closing Act of the Battle of the Second Night?
Dec 30, 2023
This episode adapts pages 98-99 of the previous comic version and is a large expansion from it! **There's also an update to this comment and a correction to the episode.**
The 3 month hiatus was from doing two art challenge months in a row and both took a lot more time than I intended. Since they usually have, I'm thinking about avoiding doing two art challenge months in a row again. Huevember has always been my favorite that I tried so I don't want to give that one up. Some of my pieces from it this year were experiments in Blender that took days to finish.
Although those pieces took days, I’m glad I tried out some new techniques that could help me be more efficient creating 3D backgrounds for Magical Renegades episodes that better blend in with the art style, which should also cut down on production time.
I wrote about these two art challenges on my site here:
➡️ https://synergyeclipse30.neocities.org/drawtober2023
➡️ https://synergyeclipse30.neocities.org/huevember2023
I think I went overboard with the Drawtober challenge being a complex AU though it was fun 😩 The Huevember pieces for days 5, 10, 18, 19 and 20 are my Blender experiments.
Unfortunately through much of the past few weeks I wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t get as much done as I hoped, but I didn’t give up. I’m glad I could finish this episode before the new year!
The production notes have also been posted, and there's a lot to say with this episode!

Episode 40 is also in-progress with multiple WIPs posted for it. This'll be another big episode with a lot of notes for it!
Correction: Fixed a blooper where Knockout's weapon didn't appear in one of her last panels when it should have.

Your dedication to your craft shines through, and it's fascinating to see how each artistic challenge contributes to the evolution of your work. Taking on new techniques and experimenting with Blender for 3D backgrounds is a bold move, and it's exciting to hear how it can enhance the efficiency of your process. The commitment to improvement and the willingness to adapt truly sets your work apart. Looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labor in future Magical Renegades episodes! Wishing you a Happy Holidays and New Year!

Magical Renegades ~ Anathema to Commonsense

Renegade Midnight Conductor is a recruiter for the Magical Renegades, a faction of eccentric mages who are opponents to "the Magestablishment" for using a newer, experimental style of magical weaponry that bypasses the Magestablishment's bureaucracy!
She was a time traveler who left the Academy for Time Travel before she graduated, and is now a fugitive. She believed their rules were too limiting, and time travel can be used to set things right.
She went back to 1884 to meet Susana, a human who would become a great historical figure in the events that were to follow. Susana joined the Magical Renegades as Renegade Liberty, and stopped a takeover, but the magic that they promoted fell into the hands of Renegade Midnight Conductor's rival, another rogue time traveler who used power to begin taking over space-time! With one of the four superweapons under her control, this rival would be formidable to any opposition!
The rival caused an incident that left a group of people stranded in 1887, under her rule, in a bizarre anachronistic timeline just as "The Great Power Struggle" is about to happen again! Some of the stranded people are just trying to survive while they wait for space-time to be restored, but others have their eyes on joining one of these factions and see opportunities for heroism, fame, wealth or power ahead!
Follow the tale of the Magical Renegades as they seek more recruits, and try to work together! However, raw power isn't everything. Sometimes, they must think outside of the box even if it means going against commonsense!
