Updates+August-October Roadmap

Hello! These following couple of months are going to be very busy... so I wanted to write about what's been/will be going on!

For starters, let's get the quick and more immediate things out of the way: merch production is already on going! As of today I have already received all the stickers, while plushies, shirts and charms are still in production, ideally by the end of the month they should be ready? But since the plushies are international they may make their way to me until September, let's hope for the best!

Since stickers are here, have some previews!

Sticker sheets!

Reprints of the zodiac Kreas, while all the stickers are roughly 10cm each, these ones probably look the biggest out of the entire bunch lol... mogi for comparison

Shipping is expected to start within the next 2 weeks. People who will get their orders fulfilled first are those who only bought stickers and some Pokemon charms, since I have a few leftovers of the previous batches, I may be able to squeeze some out while I wait for the rest to arrive.

Commissions are somewhat open, for the time being I'm only taking R18 requests when it comes to full illustrations. Shikishi boards and charms aren't available anymore, the only other option would be icons, you are still free to ask for those.

Now to more interesting stuff!

If you've been keeping up you have probably noticed that I've been working on things with Yumi often! Collab drawings, merch, doodles here and there, streams and so on. We are working on a couple of things together! We're slowly putting a little zine together with our characters, if you check the server you may have seen some Cherry Devil doodles, that's what they're for!

Things would be moving faster than we'd wanted but Yumi's current living situation makes things hard to keep up with. If you would like to help out please consider supporting her Patreon too, we'd both greatly appreciate it! https://www.patreon.com/Gothetticus

Taifau Cafe comic is finally back on track! I've been working on it, I've changed the workflow and started drawing it on paper instead of digitally. I really can't stand Clip Studio it's bafflingly bad!!!! But anyways it's taking a bit of time to adjust, I've tested out printing the sketch and inking over it but I don't quite like not being able to erase the sketches lol... but that aside inking it is both very smooth and quicker than before! I feel less picky about it compared to digital.

First and last preview you will see of it, I just wanted to show it is actually being worked on....

This time around I won't wait until the whole chapter is complete to post, I will be sharing pages as soon as they're done on the Discord server. The first 6 pages will be posted at once though! Since it's kind of a mini follow up of last chapter before starting new with the plot of the next one.

October is on the title because I got into Confuror again! I will be tabling with Chips once more, and all of this meaaaannnssss even more merch to design and get ready in time!!!!

I've learned from last year and I don't want to crunch to hell and back during the last month (I will slave myself for 2.5 months instead!!!!!), so I'm already sketching and planning things in advance. A new version of Krea Holic is in the works! I want to include all the stuff that was originally planned but got scrapped due to time constraints: sketches, more exclusive drawings (aiming for 10! Wish me luck....) and a lot more commentary/information about her, this year marks her 10th birthday after all! So I want to go all out with it.

A neat feature of the original was the guest art, I'm not completely sure if that's returning, I want this to be a very me project, so either guests are getting cut, I'll individually ask specific people if they want/can or just limit the numbers even more. Who knows! Just to be a bit more private than last time, I made a form you can put your stuff up, but please don't take it personal if either you're not selected or if nothing comes out of it.

As much as I would like to finish the second chapter of Taifau Cafe soon, Krea Holic will be taking priority for the time being, due to it requiring more edition and time (full color pics and all that) I don't want to end in the same spot of last year of having to really trim it down to meet deadlines.

Taifau Cafe is fully sketched out! I just need to ink it, so hopefully it won't be too long for it to be done once Krea Holic starts wrapping up.

Besides that, more of the same, more stickers and charms! I will dip my toes into a couple of standees since I also wanted to do some last year but didn't have time. Perhaps I will be making con exclusive prints, I also had an idea for a Bibi diner themed shirt... we'll just have to wait and see! The following months' suggestion threads will probably be related to all these things one way or another....

And finally there's other secret stuff that's being worked in the background! Not much I should say here lol

That's it for the update, thanks for your constant support!
