Artbook Layout

Lingering artbook character layout. I leave the artbook to my background artist, so far progress is slow but steady at least

Mermaid on the coast

Next week, coloring! I have a 3 jobs now so I can't draw as often but I will at least try to finish something each week especially since the hards stuff (lining and coding is done) Just need to finish colloring cgs and dump all the cg into the game and see how it all goes~

I both regret and don't regret my choices

MERMAAIIIIIIDSSSSS! I decided to keep the mermaid the same pose for 2 CGs, for my sanity lolol. 2 more Mermaids Cg to Line! AAARGH

This mermaid will haunt me

I actually only have only 3 more cg to draw for the demo but they r all mermaids llolol so I've been stalling them, but I will try to finish them before the 24th. Coloring for this work is particularly difficult since there's a lot of details

My Demo release plan is somewhere around end of May or June, probab...

Short Story Xander

Xander's POV

I look like my father, and I hate it. Ryker looks like your ex lover, which I love but you hate. I detest everything about you, and in return I hate everything about you that I see in me.

From my eyes, to my hair, to my lips. And whenever I look at someone else that resembles you, I want to bash their...

WIP WIP WIP

I've colored some cgs yesterday and wanted to show them but decided to wait since I do want to keep some things a mystery until the demo release. But these other cgs were fun too, especially the ass one because of its 3d model was really weird to make. I use design doll to make 3d poses of my art and then draw over them, it's...

Angel's sister

I made a couple of side story comics as a Kickstarter reward. Most of them are happy, showing life after Lingering. I like the idea that Angel and Doll love together and Doll getting Angel's shit straight. Angel was a complex character to me, filled with guilt and indifference towards life as time progressed. She wasn't alway...

Unused Demo Sprites

So I made a variety of sprites for Mark of A Beloved and I was hoping I can put them all in the demo, but turns out I can't. But I got pissed that I couldn't especially because I put so much effort in the nun, but my editor said the demo script is good as is and will be too long if I expand. So I decided to put them all here....

Lingering DLC questions

So, as you know I'm still focused on Mark of a Beloved atm, because Silent Morti my Lingering partner is still focused on finishing school and I don't really think Lingering is Lingering without her input and backgrounds.

 But I'm still dabbling with Lingering here and there and most of the sprites from Mark of A B...

Muscles

Sneak peek of Fox muscles from Lingering side comic. Let's say things get steamy when Lock and Fox take showers after their little spar

CG sample

I still wanna keep Lingering's CG style but I made it with frames and a lot of movement within the frames. I might change it in the future though

coding stuff

my files be looking reaal weird if you see the contents. but here is how I code sprites. I had some issues that made me quite lacking in motivation for some works, but I am going to give this a shot stlll, and continue working on Lingering's artbook

Nuns

A lot of unnecessary time went into this ball and chain detail. Anyway though, chosen few vampire Bloodletters/nuns are allowed to mess around with this thing. filled with unicorn blood, the scent can drive any vampire crazy. Used to control Vilebloods, deformed vampires who has lost their humanity. Mindless powerful creature...

Unused Uniforms

Unused uniforms for Mark of A Beloved. Wanted it to be magical or witch themed in earlier concepts, but decide to do a more vampire theme after seeing too much similarity with Hogwarts/Harry Potter.

To be honest I'm still in the fence if I can pull Mark of A Beloved off, but I do hope to at least get a demo out, since I...

Vamp King

Various scrapped hair for the vampire King, we eventually settled on the wavy hair look as the short hair made him look too much of a side character and the long one reminds me of interview with a vampire which is not what I am going for!

Happy New Year!

Happy new year, sorry for the not so regular post as of late. I have some marriage issues I had to handle so I couldn't get my head straight. As an apology here are some concept works I made for Mark of A Beloved that may be use in game or elsewhere, and a character for Lingering, the OG Alice, which I made waaay to realistic...

Scrapped GUI and Character design

Unused GUI for Lingering and Lovesick's leader early concept, this was changed and scrapped due to one, I struggled with Renpy new GUI update andthus why didn't really get creative with the GUI. I plan to repair that in Mark of A Beloved though. Also this GUI is adapted from potatou's Royally Horrible GUI which is free to dow...

Sneak Peek

Sneak peek of my Lingering comic that I will only show fully to my Kickstarter backers as a reward

but yeah, here is Angel's sister who looks exactly like her, besides a mole and the leg bit.

I wanted to bring closure for Angel in the additional comics, her relationship with Doll is going smoothly and they are now...

Bloodletters (Mark of A Beloved)

Bloodletters are members of the Vampire Church whose role is more similar to the military than a nun/religious cult. However they do usually consist of Vestags (Vampires that can see the future) thus some might worship them as seers. They wear mask to not be tempted by the smell of blood. As they do tend to see themselves as ...

Lingering rant(?)

I really wanted to make a DLC for lingering, tbh I'm not sure it will happen, but because of that, I decided to at least write the DLC idea here so it wouldn't go all to waste. These are kind of considered spoiler-y so read at your on risk.

Basically I wanted a more detailed explanation on the Spiders for one.

Whe...

Mermaids and Witches Pictures (Mark of A Beloved)

Mermaids and witches in the mark of a beloved world is a bit different than usual mermaids and witches.

I wanted witches to have consequences for their magic. An eye for an eye so to speak. They have the power to manipulate elements, time, and reality itself however it comes with the price of their own life span. That's...

Start menu

I almost panicked since I thought I lost this damn main Menu. So here is a image of it. there some minor animations in game, but I will show that later.

Also I want to make a DLC for lingering pre Xander death days. Focusing more on Spiders n their POV. Discussing more on cancel culture, cyber bullying and maybe even ta...

Lingering Relationships

Some info about Lingering relationships that were established prior to the game, such as Angel and Fox being exes and why Fox and Goldie are so close. Also a bit of Xander and MH relationship.

Goldie and Fox have a sibling like relationship with Fox being the needy 'little brother' despite his age and build. Goldie seem...

Lingering Artbook Sneak Peek

Artbook Progress, waiting on Silent Morti's artwork, here's a sneak peek

Mark of A Beloved GUI

Mark of A beloved quick menu anim test. Apologies for shitty quality, haven't installed OBS or any screen recorders. I should really get to that lol

Lingering Artbook sneak peek and Ravenstags

Pretty hectic couple of weeks so I posted late. here's a Lingering artbook sneak peek to make up for it and also a Ravenstag sneak peek.

Ravenstags are inspired by the stags in the tv show Hannibal. They are born killers, obsessed with death. They can see the Grim Reapers of this world and the strings of fate...
