Thanking your first name on tomorrow's chapter
Hey guys and girls, just letting you know that I'd like to credit all my patrons who pledged in June at the end of tomorrow's chapter on webtoon.If anyone is using a screen name, I'll credit your entire screen name, but if it seems like a real name, then I'll only credit your first name.The reason I won't credit any patron's full name is because I got very few really angry comments on older chapters on webtoon, and it seems like some of the mature themes may be controvers...
Massive thank you! o(_ _)o
Thanks to all of you awesome patrons, my assistant's fee for flatting my comic this month is fully covered by your patronage! Your support truly helps fueling the continuity of this comic! o(^▽^)oLaboring for this comic is a combo of both madness and passion.My content is not aimed for the approval of the masses, but to those very few at the edge who truly loves it. Your generous support has given me the confidence that I am on the right path. ヽ(ﾟ∀｡)ﾉI also understand that my pat...
Next update schedules
I've just got done with the family stuff, but my fried brain is still in the adjustment period to get back on my normal routine. The next update is still in the works right now.Next Update ScheduleBased on your feedback, I agree that a longer full chapter is a better reading experience. So the next update will be posted on webtoon on Friday July 6.I should reveal that there are only 6 updates left, before End of Season 1 of this comic.The full loop to the prolog is in the middle of that 6 re...
North Hi-Def wallpaper
Recently the sexy hi-def images have been all Cora, so the best I can do for now is just undoing a couple of his buttons LMAOAnyways..., this chapter shows more of North's flexibility in the way he thinks vs what Zander would've done in this situation. Zander would just fight them head on and got shot down immediately.Although... North did lose his cool at the end of this chapter lol, so we'll see how this goes on the next chapter （＾∀＾）
Animated GIF - sneak peek
It will get a little dark until we reach the light at the end of the tunnel. There won't be any comic relief until we make a full loop to the first chapter (boo!! I know...) (;^_^ASecond update this month is in four days, and I'm still undecided about whether I should do a third short update this month, or just do a full length update on the first friday in July instead.These few transitional chapters on the way to the prolog are not exactly a feel good chapter but it's crucial to th...
How to piss off a girl in the wilderness
1. Walking in while she bathes2. Tear her clothes off3. Grab her boob lolNot to mention, unknowingly delivered her bf to some psycho killer prior meeting her (￣ー￣； Their first meeting is basically a series of one disaster after another.If there's a graph of how his impression looks like to her right now, its a steep freefalling graph lol (;^_^AThis guy has to make it all up somehow, so that he will be worthy of her. o(^▽^)o
What's up in June 2018
Howdy and thank you for your patronage! （＾∀＾）There will be at least 2 comic updates this month, with a 3rd one still tentative at the time of me writing this.Here's the planned update date:First update - June 1st (it will be done tonight for sure, it just need a couple finishing touches that I can get done within half hour prior to update time)Second update - June 15th (the art is 80% done at this point, just need to get the dialog done by this date)Third update - June 30th? (it...
Animated GIF - next chapter sneak peek
If you re-read the first couple chapters, you probably can tell that we are pretty close to make a loop back toward the beginning.There's one more hurdle before we reach that and it will be an important character's arc for North before his shuttle blew up in #3: Red Alert part 2.There's also gonna be a less-combative conversations between the two MCs on the next chapter, but most of these 'getting to know each other' is plotted out for after the underwater kiss, I mean CPR lo...
Spoiler-ish Sneak Peek: North's Domination in HD lol ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
So I'm putting up a mild nsfw warning on this Friday's chapter even though I don't think it needs one, due to one panel that is a wee bit sexual (not this one, but something else that I don't wanna spoil) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)I consider my content mild and don't even need any warning, but I learned from other creator that if your content is mildly sexual with no warning, you'll get a few “Ewww cooties” crowd lashing out all nasty in the comments.The majority of webtoon...
Animated GIF sneak peek: Pervert!
He had it coming lolThis is a work in progress, I still have to add blushing red on Cora's face on the final version later.This whole catching Cora arc will wrap up on the next chapter, and well, we all know how this will end based on the prolog.Next chapter is still about 70% done for now, I want to get all the art done a couple days before next friday to give my proofreaders time to have a look at it, so I got a bit of time for minor fixes.
Staging wardrobe malfunction
This is a trope that has been done many times before, and it never gets old to me lol. When I wrote their first meeting, I just knew I had to throw this one in cos it's fun ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). It also adds a bit of humor in this dark story so it's not so depressing.The design of her dress is only pinned on the center with one clip (on purpose), so he can easily rips it off in one go LMAOI used bandai action figure for the reference. I staged it, lit it and use a fisheye lens to take the p...
Sneak Peek: Nosebleed
The title for the next chapter is “Oh, shit...”I'm being very careful not to spoil the next chapter cos the element of surprise is necessary for some scenes to work .Both my proofreaders had a positive reaction to this chapter, and they are not easy to impress, they reaction to the interlude chapter was just meh, so I'm quite excited to see how this chapter will be received this Friday （＾∀＾）
HD wallpaper May 2018 + what's up in May
Thank you for your patronage. Another Cora bathing shot wallpaper will be released tomorrow, followed by a non-spoiler sneak peek before the next chapter is up on Friday.I plan to update at least 2x this month, on the 4th and the 18th.A couple key things will happen this month in the story, and the prologue will start to make sense after you finish these two chapters.I'm well aware that this biweekly also slows down the excitement considering how little time passed inside the webtoon in each...
animated gif - falling
Step by step from sketch to finish.This was the first act of kindness that North showed toward a stranger, although you can also assume that he did it cos his job required him to take her back alive, ha.CGI rock credit to A Redgren Grumbolt. I photoshopped the heck out of it to make it fit the concept I have in my head and added the snow effects to dramatize the sense of falling.
CGI - before and after
I drew the layout of the image, then my S.O. (alias A Redgren Grumbolt) created the CGI rocks as you see in the center image up there.After that, I use median filter in photoshop to make it more cartoony looking, then I painted it over in clipstudiopaint.At the end, I put Jason Brubaker's gouache texture on top of it to quickly break up the image with painterly look. I learned this technique from his youtube channel.
HD wallpaper - Cora's baddasery
From latest chapter.My S.O, who's also an artist, suggested to add more contrast shading on this image to strengthen her badassery, but I haven't got around to it since I'm prioritizing getting the chapters out on time and not caught up on making every panels perfect.If I got time one day, I might add a more contrast shading to this image.
animated gif - Cora blasted North
Art process from sketch to finish in the book format, before I converted it to webtoon mobile vertical format.I draw everything in print format and resolution, just in case I wanna do more with it in the future. But as of now, I just focus on getting this comic done 2x per month for webtoon discover.
animated gif - fight
I wanted to post this before last chapter upload, but didn't have a chance to. I have several Japanese books for manga artists that helped drawing the fight sequences on this chapter.
HD wallpaper + sneak peek
Sorry for the lack of posting in the past week and a half. If I disappear like that, it's because I have to bust my ass so I can get the next chapter done. I believe that the biggest value everyone get is the comic itself, and the patreon rewards are just extras.Anyway, this is non spoiler sneak peak for tomorrow's chapter, which has gone thru both my beta readers, and ready to post by 11 PM EST tomorrow.
HD wallpaper April 2018 - skirt blown version
Skirt blown version as seen from the April 6th chapter.Storywise, this chapter is to show that Cora isn't just hanging out on the wilderness with no purpose, her character does have a goal to achieve, which will be crucial to the plot further down the line.This chapter is also about her motto, which is action speaks louder than words. Basically if anyone would like to get close to her as a person, they would need to proof their worth thru action :-) cos she ain't buying sweet talking bul...
Sneak peek
Ink and shade version of panel from tomorrow.This chapter is a transition to the next one that is planned on April 20th where bigger things will happen.
HD wallpaper March 2018 part 4 - North in his fancy jacket
There should be minimum of 4 Hi-Def wallpapers released monthly, and I'd like them to be a different variety, not just one character.Recently it's been Cora heavy chapter, cos she finally enters the story as the lead protagonist.This is the shot of Kasei in his work uniform that has a heating feature, which will be useful in a cold environment.Sorry girls, he's still fully clothed in the story, for now... lol ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Animated Gif - Cora from behind after bath
Hi-def version of this will be the first wallpaper for April 2018.There will be two versions, the one with the fog covering her behind and the one without.The one North saw was the one without the fog lol （＾∀＾）The fog was just so I don't have to put the mature filter on webtoon (which kills the visibility of the comic) and still not get in trouble ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌
Future Chapter Sneak Peek
He's just trying to catch her and take her back to the city, and a bunch of stuffs just keep happening ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Anyway, here's what's up with future chapters:There's going to be 2 updates in April (the 6th and the 20th)Around 90 panels is split for 2 chapters, with the first update a bit shorter (40 panels) and the second update longer (50 panels).I can't update this Friday is because I lost the entire weekend to unavoidable life chores. （◞‸◟）The turnaround ...
Animated Gif: She Ronda Rousey-ed him ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The step by step process in animated gif from sketch to finish of next's chapter preview.The sexual tension will escalate over the next few chapter thru closer interaction and physical contact lol ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Detailed Character Bios
Summarized from the information revealed from previous chapters so far, with a few additional non-spoiler info.I figured out most of their history before the first panel are drawn. Their character history makes them who they are. The way they talk and behaves are derived from this bios.More will be revealed thru the story in future chapters.We won't see Rivas and Nikola for a while, since the current story is focusing on the Cora and North.Editted on April 2, 2018. Previous version says Zand...
HD Wallpaper March 2018 part 3 - Cora Fighting Stance
Editted on April 2, 2018.Previous artwork has improper anatomy, it's all fixed now :-)
battle art process
01-05 done in clipstudiopaint06-07 done in photoshop08 after motion blur, bring back all the photoshop layers to clipstudiopaint to use the add glow/glow dodge blending modeI gotta admit that these battle scenes take twice the work but only half the fun in comparison to the bathing and shower scene LOLI guess cos battle scenes feels more technical, while with the bath and shower scene is more artistic ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
animated gif process – Kasei on next chapter
First panel of the next chapter this friday.It's the step by step progression from ink to final color.I put the still image version of this on my instagram.
Cora Ink and Shade from next chapter
My beta reader suggested the final version of this panel should be released as a wallpaper.Next chapter should be ready to go by this Friday ヽ(ﾟ∀｡)ﾉApril 2, 2018 note: the anatomy on her body is a little off here, but the color version is fixed!
