Hello friends ~ I'm back from vacation, feeling rested, refreshed, recharged and ready to get back to work! ^o^
As expected, I didn't make much progress on any personal projects, which means this month I'm going to have to work all the more harder! I'm planning on focusing all my creative energy into Monster Boyfriend, so hopefully I'll be able to make some good progress.
In regards to the NSFW deindexing situation here on itch.io, I honestly don't have much to say other than to reassure that thankfully the issue hasn't had much impact on myself or any of my projects personally. However, I sympathize those who are going through or have had a difficult time. Especially my fellow devs. I've always loved itch.io for being so accessible to indie creators (and I still do!). But it's because I love itch.io so much is why the thought of not being able to share our beloved projects on here is a frightening thought. I know that can really mess with your mental state of mind, not to mention your motivation levels. But I hope those who enjoy sharing their works will continue to do so as I enjoy seeing the projects of others as well as sharing my own. ♥
As for me, I plan on continuing through with all my plans and personal goals on here as intended. I'm a pretty strong willed individual, so regardless of what happens here on itch.io in both the near and distant future, I'll find a way to make things work. Nothing's going to stop me from creating what I love, you can count on that! >:3
Though the results of Art Fight are still being calculated, I have to say this is the closest I've ever seen! Usually I have a pretty good guess as to which team is going to win, but this year I don't have a clue. It was 50/50 last I checked, so I guess we'll have to wait for the official announcement. Regardless, I did enjoy myself as always, so I count that in itself as a win. I managed to do a total of 11 attacks and received 8 defenses. However I'll only be sharing the art I received of characters from projects that have been previously announced here on itch.io. Feel free to check out my artfight characters and their attacks if you want a sneak peak of characters from potential future projects though. ;)
"Sage and Sage Meet" by DunceCap0
First up is Sage from Monster Boyfriend~ Apparently we both have MCs named "Sage", so they decided to draw them together. It's funny how similar the two of them are. Even their expressions are spot on. xD I also drew the Sages together in my revenge, if you're curious feel free to check that out. ;P
"Wisteria's - Attack!" by StarsEcho
Next is this lovely portrait of Wisteria from Dragon Roommates. I just adore the colors and the lighting in this one. Very pretty and unique. ♥
"Wayward" by ChimericallyLost
This amazing portrayal of Wayward is so cool! I really admire their dragon art. Wayward is a love interest from my courtly romance otome Pure in Heart.
"I'll join you soon love" by PoisonTree
This super cute couple pic is so sweet! ♥ Really helping my motivation levels to get back to work on this one. And I can't wait for Oct, so I can finally share the demo with everyone officially as well. Get ready for a roller coaster of emotions ~
Unfortunately I didn't have time to revenge this one due to my vacation, but they'll be at the top of my list next year. ;)
That's all I have to share for now ~ But if Oct can't come soon enough, you can check out my Patreon and join my Dragon Tier ($10) where you'll not only receive monthly exclusive fanart and X Reader stories, but you can also download the demo for Monster Boyfriend as you follow all my progress while I work on Chapter Two. I'm hoping to get it done in time for an early access release before Halloween 2025. Wish me luck! :3
Regardless of whether you can become a paid member or not, I thank you for continuing to follow me on my creative journey as I keep working to improve and master my crafts. ♥ Let's have a good (and hopefully productive) month!
