Hello everyone...

My special someone... i know i wouldnt talk about my real life problems but..

This is too big to ignore. He's currently hospitalized... getting a blood transfusion. It's hard

to focus. now i'm... too worried about what may happen next. I.. I wish i had more answers for him.

I only hope he'll okay. I don't know about posting more art, Im not in the right mental space.

I feel I'm in a more comfortable position to post more art. (Fan art included)

More NSFW art may be only on Newgrounds and Pixiv. Anything else, I'll post up what i can.

My special... someone is still having it rough. But I won't bring it up too much anymore. What happens in real life, should stay in real life- unless it's something really bad.

My game deving has been slow (Mainly due to the art) but there will be more to come later. I'm going to figure out how "events" work out. After that, I'll have a decent template to work with.

Alright.... A late update. I'm sorry, but I don't have any art to share from my game other than this sprite sheet.

It's likely I wont get any art out for sometime, unless I feel like posting more pixel art like this. Animating this with the armor actually isnt easy. But once it gets in motion, I cant help but feel... happy with the results.

.....Um... look. I just found out that someone close to me has stage 3 cancer. This means that my work will slow down a lot and... I'm constantly worried about him. I ask that you understand that I'm going through something difficult right now. I'll put out while I can, I still want to work on this game... But i also need to make sure that he's alright. Chemo hurts... and but i want to be there for him if things get too difficult.

I apologize for this sudden news, but i will pump out whst i can.

I hate to be blunt. but I recently got diagnosed with Pneumonia. At least only with the early stages of it. Unfortunately it has affected my art and other real life related activities. I'm sure it'll go away within a week or so.

But I wish I didn't catch it in the first place. I've been told to stop working on the artwork for my game- at least for a little bit so the least I can do is show off the art piece I was able to finish. I'm going back to animation for the characters and enemies.

Thank you for staying with me. And I hope to see your support in the future.

Not a whole of news. Other than there should be more artwork expected from me for a bit. Exactly how long? I don't know. I'm bad at timing. But it's generally for my game

Here's one of the art works of the month

Here's one of the art works of the month

I've been extremely busy.

I've been mostly working on our game. Making sure the animations of the sprites are aligned just right...

Developing some characters... Working on the story.... Thinking about the NSFW stuff (Which is actually the hard part for me)

The game involves a character who used to be my requesters OC. It's supposed to be about her saving the queen of a kingdom who's also a long time friend. So far... it's been... still in development. We're still bouncing ideas around, but I want it to be like Deus Ex. I talked about it a lot with my partner. At this point, he's probably tired of hearing it. The theme of the game we're aiming for is supposed to be like Witcher.

My aim is also to make the game immersive, and make sure that actions have consequences. However.. With both of our limited programing skills... I'm not sure how that would look. It would require both of us to do intense research on how script something like that.

For now, I've been focusing on the animation and art. I've been put in charge as lead and only artist for our game.

The sprite animations are actually 8 frames. Since our game is in Overhead view, I've had to make 8 drawings for 4 directions. I've also had to put another 8 for running and 1 more for the idle animations. It was originally supposed to be 3 frames per direction, but I wasn't satisfied with that. It's also not the easiest thing to do since I'm working with pixels and not drawings.

So... 1 frame for idle animations... 8 frames just for walking... another 8 for running

that's a total of 17 frames per direction.

17 frames x 4 Directions

I'm doing about 68 frames per character. .. Which is also 68 drawings.

I could've used default assets, But I insisted to my partner that It would be better to create our own. I believe NPC/Enemies will have slightly fewer frames, but it shouldnt be to noticeable. But why would I make so many frames you ask? well, it's because the artstyle for the pixel sprites are based on Castlevania, Symphony of the night. Alucard has an insane amount of frames, especially just for walking. I wanted to use it for myself. And it has drawn my interest to the characters more.

And as for the art itself... I was thinking of making it like a comic book. The characters will converse with each other.. then a panel will show up. It will show a brief but different perspective of what each situation is like.

This is quite an update... but I think I've spent enough time talking. I have some art to create. I'll try to keep you posted next month. And... Happy Thanks giving. If there was something I was thankful for... I'd say i'm thankful for.. Finally living my dream. All of it at once actually. When I was a kid, I was actually interested in sprite animations.... then it changed to game development... then it changed to art. And now... I find myself living all 3. Quite an interesting situation I got myself into.

And until then.. I'll see you in the December update. Remember to love your family. And most importantly... No one is truely alone in this world.

I Have huge news to share!

First off... about my art.

I'm afraid to say that... there's going to be a considerable slowdown

why? Well- I'm a game dev now! That's right- I'm in charge of the art direction of how the game goes. What kind of game is it? Well... i don't think its something I should be publicly sharing. It's super bare bones and we're still in it's developing stages. But the game I'm working on is NSFW. I'm not going to sugar coat it. I was considering going against it at first- but then I thought "Every artist technically has drawn NSFW art. It's unavoidable when your model is naked in your art class." My requester has taken a huge liking to my art and wants me to do a lot of art for his.... our.. our game! Now....

What this also means is that all of my art and animation from now on will expect a considerable slow down.

As for my grandia animation... it's likely I'll have to drop the animation part. I'll need to focus on still images, post it, get it out of my head... then think about my next project.

What does this mean for my Patreon and Sub. Star? ....nothing. It's just a slow down of art.

I look forward to this month. Because this is... another huge change in my life schedule.

https://www.subscribestar.com/synergicvertex - SFW

https://www.patreon.com/SynergicVertex - NSFW

While they're both now active... These pages will purely be kept separate.

Both pages will get at least 1 new artwork a month. It'll be a good alternative when I feel like I need a break from animation.

And with that... I look forward to seeing your support!

I'm happy to say that... While I'm happy my Patreon is up, My subscribe star page finally got approved for more SFW content.

NOW...while I try figure out what to say in my tiers/descriptions and everything... I'm afraid it might take me a bit to finally get everything rolling.

My Patreon will be for NSFW content (Which means it'll be restricted to Newgrounds/PIXIV...Possibly a separate twitter too.) My Patreon will contain all lewd related content. Including fan art for games.

While Subscribe Star....will contain my more SFW content that I am more interested in. Of course... Animating does get stressful. especially when I'm still a new player in the game, I think I'll post something new.... at least once a month. And if I "Git really Gud" that time frame may shorten. My aim on Subscribe star is to create my own show. Possibly involving Mecha and the 30MM series. I'm actually quite excited. As soon as I finish up with practicing with Tahoma2D with my side animations... I'll look into my Mecha Series. It'll involve conspiracy, explosions, clashing ideals of what unity looks like, and and.... Basically- I want to make something like the Deus Ex games plot.

I can't start mecha stuff now... I'll have to look into reducing the detail of the Mecha first. It could possibly just make it harder for me to animate.

But anyway.... as soon as I am able to work out the kinks.... We'll see what happens. It may be a better idea if I just go under a different name on my Patreon...
