It's a new year and I should tell you all about what I hope to accomplish this year, and that includes posting my comics more regularly and to actually at least get a playable alpha or two of my game, Treasure Hunter done. I have no idea how long it will take for this game to be made since so far, I only know that I would have to hire someone to make the music for the game since I'm not specialized in composing music.
As for other things, last month I made a poll for which characters of mine were your favourite, something I hope that I can make into a yearly thing, and better organized too.
Either way, here are the results!
At number 1 we got Alexis with 13 votes, which to be honest wasn't much of a surprise that one of my sonas would be ranked that high.
On second place with 8 votes is shared with both Cyborg-Lucario and Kiroo. The former being my first sona and I'm happy that people still like him, and Kiroo was made to be a robo-sona but at times it feels like he evolved to be his own character.
I also think that the comics starring them as main characters might have also helped with them being that popular.
With 7 votes we got the pre- GODDESS of Heavenly Kyuubi, Inari on third place. Whether it's because of the comics or other drawings with her, it seems like her personality is clear enough and also she's a beautiful robot fox.
With 6 votes we got Roxane, Dawol and Kim Kashikoi. I'm glad that these gals were popular. Roxane and Inari were actually in a close competition, but the Cinderace gf lost to Inari.
With 5 votes we got Marlene, Glaive and Freja. I did feel like people would like Glaive due to their starring role in the comic "The Mysterious Prophet", but I'm surprised to see Marlene be as popular. It could likely be because she's a robot Primarina and that I have been able to show of her personality before the comic, which means I certainly did a good job.
With Freja I'm not surprised, even though I haven't gotten to draw her a lot (the lawsuit that happened at the time didn't help), she's another sona of mine and a Lovander.
With 4 votes we got Mandy, Michelle, Jedol, Tabitha and Check. More pretty gals and one faaaaabulous dolphin android femboy. It's good that people like my hellsona, Michelle, the fact I designed her to look like a Houndoom combines two of the fandoms that I like.
With 3 votes we got Sharpe, River, Alessa, Yokozuma, Shockom, Drimo, Marine-02, Krashi, Heart Sweet, Daisy and Dylan (shared entry), and Lexai. Sharpe and Lexai are both sonas and it's funny seeing them in the same spot, but also expected that would happen that some sonas would end up sharing that.
Characters like Krashi, Heart and the hyena couple of Daisy and Dylan are characters I could have drawn more of but I'm glad that people love them.
Alessa was also surprised she would rank that high since I have only made one drawing of her. (People love Miltank I guess)
With 2 votes we got Gus, Shade, Roland, Fabio, Doylzer, Raphael, Craw, Radoise, Thunder-01, Lander-03, Artemis, Freya, Uzume, Orliandra, Takara Ran, Elli Airfree, Roy Jackalland and Ana.
These would be the characters that I feel could have been more popular, but at the same time some I'm surprised were popular enough to just get two votes despite not having done a lot with them yet.
Roy seems to be my least popular sona but it's still good to see people like him. No idea if my decision to overhaul his backstory to be a cyborg changed how people see him.
Oh yeah, Freya with "y" is the robot cat, not my pal-sona who's Freja with "j", just making sure that there's no confusion.
With 1 vote we got Sayuri, Battler, Kit/King Lemuria and Michi, Oshun, Epona, Hurch Soulshatter, Dorf, Grey, Alcaryn, V, Maria Doberman, Shimmer, Saphira, Roxy, Amaterasu and Tial and Lolo.
These I think is the majority my my characters, and when I made this poll I forgot to include Roxy, Amaterasu and the pop siblings Tial and Lolo (and there's still some that I forgot to include in hindsight).
If I remembered to include Roxy and Amaterasu when I first made the poll, they most likely would have gotten more votes.
And lastly we got the characters with 0 votes in which we got Luigi, Dr. Jens Madsen, Veel Thaal, Mauler, Hel, Glasha and Ravana.
I feel like a cute Farigiraf guy like Luigi could have gotten more popular if I did at least one coloured drawing of him.
I wasn't expecting Dr. Jens to be popular and I will be introducing more reoccuring villains that I have no idea if they will overshadow him.
With Veel I could also have drawn more of and shown off his character. I don't think people have any problem with him being a twink dragon however.
I'm a bit disappointed that none of the orcs got any votes since I really loved drawing these piggies.
Oh well, maybe they will get votes in the next popularity vote by the end of this year.
Hopefully like I said earlier, I might be able to have it be more organized.
This journal may have been a long read but I hope it wasn't too much.
I will keep on streaming and work on whatever commissions I get, which I hope will go well.
I also hope that you will all be doing well this year, and until next time, see ya!
