Hello everyone! It's been a long time since my last journal entry... So you know this is big news. Well... It is. As of this moment, my two big projects, Splatoon2: Inkopolis Heroes and Splatoon2: Octo Expansion are officially complete.

All of my old followers from my old/deleted account already knows and seen at least one completed story (That means don't spoil them to the newcomers!) 



So to all my newcomers who are wondering what the heck I'm talking about... Well. Inkopolis Heroes and Octo Expansion were two big drawing projects I've been doing since 2017 (Inkopolis Heroes) and 2018 (Octo Expansion) using Art Academy: Home Studio. That's almost 4-5 years ago. And now, they're both finalized as of now. So... What's the big deal? Well, I'll tell you exactly what it means.



After doing some long, deep thinking and consideration, I decided I'll upload these stories to Deviantart.



Now, I still don't have the proper trademarks and such, so no. This does NOT mean I'll start uploading digital drawings from now on. I will just be uploading both stories as well as teaser art that goes with them. Gmod and SFM works are still prevalent. So I'll be doing the following in the meantime:



  1. I will be applying a custom watermark to each page. I'm sure you guys can see the watermark already applied to the cover pages in the thumbnail images above. This is probably the most convenient method to prevent my drawings being stolen in the meantime.

  2. I will plan out the upload schedule for both stories. Since both stories are finish, I should have not much to worry in terms of uploading on time (unless if an emergency occurs). At the moment, what I plan is 3 pages of each story per week, since they're pretty lengthy.

  3. I need to make sure my gallery's in order. I've gotten a core in the past, so I wanna make sure my folders are taken care of first.

  4. Splatoon2: Cool Colors is the main priority. In a previous status update, I mentioned that story is on hold due to a power outage. Well, while my power's back on, I do not have an internet connection still. So once I get my connection back, I will upload all the missed pages at once. The storm was unexpected and it just so happened to interfere with my schedule; things can happen. So again, you'll get all pages at once as a thank you for being very patient.



Ultimately, i decided to upload the stories on here because 1. There's no point letting them collect dust in my stash now that they're both finished and 2. Like I posted in a status update, i need to continue uploading stories for my Splatoon storyline in preparation for Splatoon 3 (though I might not touch a big project like Splatoon 3: Splatsville Heroes for a while, haha). So once I get my internet back, expect the rest of Cool Colors, followed by scheduled uploads of Inkopolis Heroes and Octo Expansion at the beginning of the week at some point.



Thank you for your support and taking the time to read this announcement. I'll be seeing you all later! :)

Progress Report: Slow Down

Sep 11, 2024
Hope everyone's been doing alright. I have a couple of things I wanted to talk about so everyone can be informed. Break Time I'm sure most of you know at this point that I finished a pretty large project, which is the Enhanced 2.0 models for Garry's Mod. And with something that huge, it took a bit out of me. Though at the same time, I'm also waiting on the Grand Fest data to be added so I can port the idols over to Source (at the very least). So the plan is when I finish working on those models, I can take a good scheduled break. There'll probably be some mini projects I could do here and there, but I definitely won't be doing large projects like gear porting until I feel ready to tackle them. Not to mention I'm currently working on two real-life drawing projects that has a deadline, so that's why I've been inactive and hadn't uploaded in a while. Resuming Stories Ever since working on ports and the Enhanced 2.0 models, I've been neglecting making my last two Splatoon 2 stories. I

Progress Report Part 4: Old and New Agendas

Jan 11, 2024
Hello, everyone! For starters, I've now finished updating all of my addons as of today! So now what happens? Well, there's two things I wanted to explain. Old Agenda: Stories Some of you may still remember in the previous entry a few months ago that I was working on 2 collab stories, The Wereling and Blood Moon. This is supposed to be the final entries for the Splatoon 2 Timeline before I supposedly move on to the Splatoon 3 storyline. At the moment, I'm slowly working on the panels as we speak. Though I'm not sure when they'll be done, it'll definitely be before 2024 ends. I do hope I can get one of them done before the summertime. New Agenda: Porting I've been learning a ton during the second half of last year when it comes to porting models to SFM (though I still think there's more I can learn from.) There were a few reasons I wanted to do it all of a sudden, but I'd say it worked out well. Now that my recent Fuzzy Octoling gear was a success, I wanted to challenge myself

Progress Report Part 3: The Next Steps

Jul 8, 2023
Hello, everyone! I can happily announce that The Final is now complete! The last page was submitted not too long ago (Expect a Behind the Scenes soon...). So what will happen now? Well, if you guys remember, I still have two collab stories left. These stories are: Splatoon 2: The Wereling Splatoon 2: The Blood Moon Taking the titles in consideration, I'm sure some may have an idea what they're going to be about. Do note that The Wereling and Blood Moon are part of my Splatoon Timeline, meaning they take place before a few stories I've already finished (Octo Expansion, Waves of Tide, and The Final). So for example, if you see Jackie with his old personality/no eye scar in the stories, that's the reasoning. One of them is already developed ready for paneling while the other one isn't. Once these two stories are completed, that means all main stories in the Splatoon 2 era are completed. I may take a break before working on any Splatoon 3 stories, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to

Progress Report Part 2: Character Bios

Jan 17, 2023
Hello, everyone! I just wanted to give you another update on something I've been wanting to change for a while, and it's my Splatoon character bios. I figured since it's the new year, I might as well make some changes. As most of my old watchers know, my characters were made using one of the Splatoon icon maker websites (The Ika version, I'm sure). It does the job but it has its limitations, mainly the limited clothing, expressions, and originality. So, I decided I'm going to completely revamp them, and notify everyone when a character has been finished via deviation update. The bios will be written in accordance to the Splatoon 3 era, meaning after all of my Splatoon 1 and 2 stories. Characters that are planned to be in Splatoon 3 stories may have little to no information in their descriptions to avoid spoilers. Considering I made 3 bio variations (Team, Main, and Side Bios), I've come up with a solution for all three in terms of what they will showcase: Team Bios The team bios
