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:
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.
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.
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.
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! :)
