Partecipating in J-Garden, upcoming books, and other plans for 2025
🕑 Added 2024-12-30 19:00:06 +0000 UTCHello! Like last year, I wanted to make a post about my plans for upcoming projects in 2025, as well as as some info about event partecipation.
First of all, in March I'm going to be attending J-Garden 57 in Tokyo with a circle and presenting an original BL comic there. It's a Centaur x Human modern fantasy slice-of-life story. I've been slowly working on this in the background during the course of this year, consolidating characters and story, gathering refs etc. I've held back from sharing many details about it so far, but now that it has a definitive release date, I feel like I can start posting more art and informations about it! This will occupy most of my early 2025 months, so you'll definitely learn more about it starting from January.
I'm planning a new Kaeya-centric Luckae zine (R18) for May/June. Some might already know the theme for this one π in any case, I've already started working on it and I'm trying to keep it as laid-back as possible (possibly a mix of comic and sketches, around 20-30 pages) to make sure I finish it on time.
Genshin collection of sketches (R18) - I would like to make this if I get into a specific event. Depending on how much time I'd have to work on it, it could be either a small yuri-only or a big kaeya/luckae collection with most of my sketches made in the past years.
I have a couple "dormant" project that I would like to pick back up, such as the Luckae doujinshi I spoke about it in this post (currently on hiatus because it turned out much longer than 24 pages, and I decided to make the Teyvat Guide instead this year). I actually still want to finish this one, but if I do, it's definitely going to be in the later half of 2025, if nothing else comes up. The applies to the Fire Emblem R18 sketchbook as well.
I was also invited to work on two different Luckae projects by other artists, but it might take some time before I can show anything from those (still, quite excited!). About conventions, I have a couple more events confirmed for 2025, but I'll be making a separate post about it.
I have to say this past year was quite productive, I'm really content to have published two books, and I've also drawn quite a lot of illustrations.
Once again I have my patrons to thank for helping me accomplish so much. Without the support I receive here I wouldn't be able to dedicate myself to things like fancomics and original works. It truly means the world to me, and I can never express it enough, but even a little has helped me greatly these years. Thank you so much for being interested in my work.
I wish you all a wonderful 2025 π
