#The Jackal Project

[jackalproject]

You know what time it is.

Howdy! Welcome back to the monthly update posts! This month brings something special; an offer to you to join our team!

When I first started this project, I hoped I would be able to pull it off alone, but it becomes clearer and clearer to me each day that I cannot do it alone. So, I’m going to open up applications to be apart of the project!

Currently, I am looking for a colorist, a lineartist, and possibly a cowriter! Here is a link to the google form that you can send in your submissions to, where you’ll be asked for your portfolio/link to your works and your socials. Thank you to everyone who applies! If you are accepted, I’ll reach out in a week, on the 8th of September. Once we’ve worked everything out, I will send you an invite to the discord, and we can get started!

Of course, obligatory warning. This is a large project, and I don’t want anyone to get caught off guard by it. Team members will be given the full rundown of the plot, and are able to back out if they believe it is too much or need a break! I am very flexible, and we will make things work. I look forward to working with you all <3

Now to the real update:

PART ONE: Final script done, first issue in progress

PART TWO: Script in progress

PART THREE: Final concept in progress

Expected Releases: None this month…?

Oh look! A funny Finn expression from the storyboard! Just for you.

Thank you to everyone who’s been patient with me, I really appreciate it. See you all soon!

(another link to the form, in case you missed it. You can also send in your portfolio and submissions on discord. Mine is Nikojpeg!)

Niko out!

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an ask.

I think their parents would have a heart attack if they had another kid take the “war hero with a thirst for adventure but also severe untreated depression” route Gadget went in life.

Hi all, it's been a long while since I've updated several of my online accounts, with the exception of Bluesky and my participation in Artfight 2024. Here's something to jumpstart the blog until I have the means to play catch up!

Some new banner art for DEITIES that I've wanted to complete for a long while -- from the project’s inception when I drew this early sketch. Featuring the divine trio from the main storyline in their animal forms: Set, Horus, and Anubis. Alongside the banner art, I created makeshift references of their animal forms using the descriptions from their respective profiles.

I was planning on waiting until I finish the whole thing, but these illustrations kinda came out too nice to not post so soon ✨ especially the 2nd one. I really like how all the blues came out

infinite's mask gave me so much trouble that I actually just went and traced it from a screencap

i like to think about Logan preferring to be called, well, Logan instead of James kind of like a chosen name

What would happen if once all strong forms of magic returned to equestria... something went... wrong. What if... it brought with itself evils even beyond the threat Opaline could've ever imposed. A disease that hundreds of years ago was already mysterious and forgotten. Reawakened by all forms of magic bursting with power at the same time.

Good afternoon everyone! It is time once again for another update post. Are you excited? I hope so. Sorry for dropping it so late, I forgot to download my files and. Yeah. So there’s not much here, other than the once’s I needed. Oopsie.

I’d like to open this post by introducing my new collaborator, @bat-luun He has been helping me a TON with the backgrounds, and is a complete life saver, as well as an extremely talented artist. I’m so happy to have him, both as a friend and as an artist. He has done the Bonus Content banner for the post, when it goes up tomorrow. Go show him some love!!

On a somewhat related note, we now have a twitter account for the project! I personally have not used twitter in heaven knows how long, so I’m realering the ropes haha. The @ is jcklproject, in case you want to give it a follow there.

Before I get into the juicy details, I’d like to thank you all for your patience with me, and request that you hang on just a liiiitle longer. I am participating in the Sonic Big Bang, which I have just entered crunch time in. The project is SIGNIFICANTLY longer than I anticipated, and I have until the 25th to get it done. I am working hard on it, and if it comes to it, I may have to put this project on a little bit of a hold to finish it. Only until the 25th, though, and I will still be working on it! Keep an eye open on my main account for the project in June, when all of the works go up. I’m very excited, and while its not jackal related, I think it will be a ton of fun ;)

Anyway, lets get on to the good stuff.

TEST COMICS: Scripts complete, Issues in progress

PART ONE: Script complete, final concept art in progress

PART TWO: Scripts begun

PART THREE: Storyboard in progress

SCHEDULED RELEASES: Test Comic Issue Two, late May.

This coming test comic is a little beefier than the previous one, rounding out at about 7 pages total, and with a whole two pages worth of scripting! I once again remind you all that progress will go much quicker in the summer, as I will have my own computer at that point, more free time, and my portion of the Big Bang will be over with! Thanks for your patience <3

(Also, this issue ain’t SHIT compared to what’s coming down the line. Weeps.)

Here, have a frame! And a link to a silly post I made that you may have missed!

Sorry for the brief update, again, so heres a bit of a cut concept! In part two, Finn was supposed to break into Gadget’s house later in the story to request assistance with… something :). And this is how that was supposed to play out.

Your honor they’re really funny. But it was cut in favor of something arguably even funnier, and you’ll all know it when you see it, as it takes place right after the introductory issues lol

Niko out <3

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an ask.
