I'm basically finished with the pilot/issue 0 of Heavenly Kyuubi. It has been two years or three since planning and development for the setting started earlier than that.

But it's coming out on the 8th of March on it's dedicated Tumblr page and Newgrounds (though with Newgrounds it will be split in parts since one submission can only have ten pics at the same time).

I will also have to do make an ad for it since I still feel unsure about people reading journals. ^^;

If you're reading this, that means that I feel like accepting commissions and art trades again with the latter being more selective and would be done more likely with close friends.

Which is funny all things considered that there are some friends I haven't talked to that often but I still consider them my close friends. But then again, I'm the kind of person who believes in friendship being forged and shaped with time rather than having random people come up and ask me if I can be their friend.

As for what I will do next after releasing the Heavenly Kyuubi pilot I do plan on taking up game design again after many years and finally make a game, this one starring my treasure hunting kangaroo Roxy.

It only has some concept sketches and the working title of "Treasure Hunter" but this is a project that can be expected to take a while to finish since the first month will be dedicated to work on Roxy's sprites, controls and collission (which includes some simple enemies).

I have also been wondering how I can make streaming better like I have been wondering if I should be doing it at different times than I usually do it or if I just need to get better at advertising myself.

I just hope that I'm able to entertain all of you who choose to stick around.

You're also free to tell me if there's anything you like to see more of me, whether it be a certain theme or character (which I admit also depends on my mood).

Yup, I'm soon done with the comic that I started on two years ago. Though considering the ideas for the setting started earlier it might be more fair to say it took three years to make, and I'm sure you all are aware that I wasn't able to finish it earlier due to drama that forced me to return the computer I borrowed until I got a new one.

But yes, I only got a few more pages and a new cover which should be more exciting or fun.

When it's finished it will be posted in full later on it's own Tumblr blog and Newgrounds but I will make an announcement on other sites like I said previously where you can give your feedback on it.

When that comic is done I also see what to do next. There's still The Mysterious Prophet but I do want to see if I will be able to work on a game too.

But I will say that sometime in spring I will be taking a vacation, which I hope will go well.

Hopefully you're looking forward to what I will do next, see ya!

I got done with a commission and an art trade this week and I knew that once both are finished that I would not accept any more for the rest of the month as I will try and focus more on my comic projects, both The Mysterious Prophet and the Heavenly Kyuubi pilot that I hope to finish early this year.

As a special note for the Heavenly Kyuubi comic, I will go back to previous pages and try to refine them, which includes shading them.

As for where I will upload that one, unlike The Mysterious Prophet I will only be posting it in full on Tumblr and Newgrounds. I was originally only gonna post it on a dedicated blog I made on Tumblr but as I saw that you can post a full comic here on Newgrounds using the description I decided that two places wouldn't be bad.

I will still post an announcement on other sites when the comic is up (and the announcement will also be used for people who don't have Newgrounds of Tumblr to give me feedback).

I hope you all will do your best this month.

Welcome to another journal that could have had a better title.

Christmas is upon us and after that New Years Eve and I will say that this month has been good, aside from the fact that I got sick on the last days of November and early December, but I have gotten to work on a comic that I can update weekly in The Mysterious Prophet, which I hope you're all reading, feel free to leave a comment as I have worked a lot on getting it forth.

Right now I will have to focus on commissions that I got to work on even if I'm not sure that I will finish them all before Christmas.

I hope you're all doing well and if anyone feels like they want to gift me something, I got a Throne: https://throne.com/alexis_strype

Or if you got me among your Steam friends, then I got a wishlist there as well, or draw me something.

Maybe gift me a small amount of money with Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/cyborglucario

Whatever the case, it's up to you if you want to gift me or not for Christmas in whatever way is practical for you.

Let us also hope that next year will be better for everyone in the world!

Hello everyone. I would like to say that it has been fun trying to do monthly drawings which hasn't always been successful, especially these last few days when shift from November to December temperatures affected me a lot, making me sick for a day.
I did manage to work some more on the cover for my Pokémon comic "The Mysterious Prophet" despite still recovering from the cold.

Last weekend I went to my first furmeet in my city which was a good time in which I got to interact with new people while watching furry related movies.

As for what to expect next month? I will probably be focusing a lot on The Mysterious Prophet and also two Christmas group pics (maybe more if it's a commission).
If you want to give me a gift then you can look at either my Throne Wishlist or donate a few bucks on my Ko-fi. Your choice if you feel like or can do it of course.

And as soon as I have finished The Mysterious Prophet then I will FINALLY get back to the pilot comic of Heavenly Kyuubi, my sci-fi setting with that superhero family featuring Inari, Kiroo, Dawol and their siblings. I hope you're all looking forward to it.

I would like to also make a comic version of Journey of the Gnoll Queen since that way I'm sure people will be reading the story, but I may not have the time for it depending on what's happening.

This has been this update journal, I hope you will all be doing well and that your Christmas/Hannukkah/whatever holiday you're celebrating will be good.

As the title said and I know that I could have made it at the start of this month but there was nothing much to report, and I'm still not sure if I got enough to report aside from trying to do daily drawings and streaming three times per week.

Look... I do appreciate whatever support I get but in recent years it feels like people care less about what I'm doing despite trying new concepts or slightly improving my art style. I just know that there are some who are interested in seeing my comics, I mean unlike my attempt at writing stories I will at least know that people actually read the comics since no comments on the stories I wrote makes me think that people just looked at the accompanying images and moved on. (Trust me, I wish I had the time to read novels and such)

If you choose to still support me that's good, just feeling uncertain about myself at times. You're free to join my Discord server if you want, just note that the link only lasts for 30 days and there's a good chance I won't link to my server the next months.

I'm still open for commissions if anyone is interested.

I hope you will have a fun and safe Halloween today, as for me I'm sure if will be good, I hope despite not being invited to any parties (but then again, I don't touch alcohol). I wonder if there will be any trick or treaters coming to me this year, it would be fun with them around.

And in the next month I will return to streaming after having taken a break from it yesterday (those who have seen me stream Castlevania: Circle of the Moon will understand), among the games I will stream is Dust: An Elysian Tale, it's been a long while since I played it and it will be nice to play it again after all this time.
Another game I will be playing on Fridays will be Divinity: Original Sin 2. I know that Baldur's Gate 3 is the popular RPG to play now but both games are made by the same developer, Larian Studios. That just means if I like the former then I will most certainly like the latter.

And despite trying to draw daily (emphasis on daily) my commissions are still open. And as an alternative to paying me through Paypal is to buy me gifts on my Throne wishlist. You know, if anyone remember that I did a donation WG drive with Tom Nook, well, any money from donations or commissions or the value of the gifts will go to that drive, I could always make sure I can save my money since I sure don't want to run out of money after those three years I have been living poorly.
But I have to emphasize that I'm not forcing anyone, it's just if you want to have a drawing in return (or just want to be generous).
Here's the wishlist: https://throne.com/alexis_strype

Feel free to tell me how you feel and until next time, see ya!

Hello there everybody.

First off I just want to say that I'm hoping to keep my streaming schedule consistent and that anyone who do get to watch them will have a fun or chill time, and as you might expect from my re-debut stream with Aria of Sorrow, I will be playing the other Advance Castlevania games after I'm finished with it. Considering that Aria of Sorrow is one of my favourite games I don't think the others will be as good, though I do remember Harmony of Dissonance to be good at least but it will be interesting trying out Circle of the Moon for what I believe will be my first time.

It's fitting that I would be playing some of the Castlevania games in October but since I will also be playing other games on streams I can't truly call it Castlevania month. ^^;

Oh and I need a new capture card, which I have on my Throne wishlist as a crowdfunding project since I don't expect anyone to pay full price for it for me. https://throne.com/alexis_strype/item/ed575ec8-6d2c-4625-9615-934d3ec4a94c

Of course since I'm always open for commissions you may get a drawing from me if you donate a certain amount, if you want that is (the same goes for everything else on my Throne wishlist if you want something in return and not feel like a simp spending money on an e-girl).

And since someone asked me in my re-debut stream and I answered them then I will say it now. Aside from comics I will actually try to do some game development, which does include not just remembering from what I learned from game design in college but also some further studies when necessary.

It may depend on the day if I focus more on the game or any of my comics or if I will do some other things and that's including days when I'm streaming (which means you might see some game development or comic making on stream).

I don't know what else to say, other than I hope that October won't be bad for you all and that Halloween will be fun with lots of spooks and candies.

Now that I have a really good computer and two monitors I'm now in the process of preparing for my stream re-debut on Twitch, which might happen next week, I still need to pin a proper date for it but I can say that it will start at around 20:00 (8pm) CEST or your equivalent timezone.

I haven't even decided on what game will get the honour to be played during the stream. Might be Minecraft or Sengoku Basara (I just hope that the capture card I got still works, but I do have a new capture card on my Throne wishlist in case it doesn't work: https://throne.com/alexis_strype) or random games.

I will make an announcement about the time when posting my weekly stream schedule.

Now to makes sure that it will be possible to stream on the days I have in mind and that there's no other obligations I need to do during those days.

I might also be able to do art streams once I get a drawing tablet for the computer since as it turns out, you can't use a Samsung Galaxy Tab to draw stuff on the computer.

I hope you all are having a good time and while I can't force you due to your own obligations and such it would still be nice if you could be watching my streams. :3

Well, a miracle happened and I got a surprisingly big help when it came to getting enough of a push to get more economically stable

For everyone who has supported me these past months, I really mean it when I say thank you from the depths of my heart and I hope that I can continue making you all happy with the things I do!

Trust me, that things would turn around for me were unexpected (thrown me out of the loop even) and I'm aware that trying to explain those things without going into too much detail can sound wrong, even if I said that the donation goal was to help me save for a computer and not that I would be able to buy it as soon as the goal has been reached.

I do worry despite having been open about that, there may have still been rooms for uncertainties and I do want to apologize for that, but your help has still helped me these last months, years even before I did any donation drives.

I even spoke to friends about it and as long as I'm clear we will all be fine. I may change the donation goal though to be for something else like getting me something else I could need for art and development or more of a generous fun thing to go for to see how far I will get with Tom Nook.

It's still voluntary and there's no forcing you. I always want what's best for you and that you things will be good or get better depending on how you have it.

Love you all from the gnoll queen and the cybernetic Lucario superhero (and the rest of my sonas, and my irl self ofc)! 💙
