Beautiful art by @ladye-zelda, @smilesrobotlover, @nancyheart11, @marenwithanm, @webhead3345, and @kikker-oma - I told y’all I save all the art you draw for the blorbos ❤️❤️❤️

I’m so, so glad you guys love him as much as I do ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[possiblyfunny]

Hey, look guys, more art-

HOPE.

I’ve been wanting to draw him like this ever since I first saw him smile, but my will to draw eluded me until now! This started off as a doodle, so, please excuse the messiness. I drew this to de-stress.

“Fire” Red belongs to @creatively-cosmic. They have a blog called @themissingnumbers, which is really good! Go check it out if you want to see more.

My take on an urban druid, with a focus on turning into swarms of critters! You can find it on Homebrewery here.

I love the visual of turning into a flock of crows, alright? It's very cool. I've also included some beefed-up swarm statblocks because most of the existing ones are, like, CR 1/4 only. I mean, you probably won't be attacking with these forms, but they're a bit hardier.

Anyway, let me know if you give this subclass a try!

[sunflowerpin]

Your OL2 MC is really cool! I'd be interested in hearing more about them if you wanted to share?

~Sincerely a fellow clumsy skater Qiu romancing ol2 mc haver 🪴

Hello fellow clumsy skater Qiu romancing ol2 mc haver!!

Thank you for thinking they’re cool!!

I wrote some stuff about Sun on the tags so I’ll write them here are as well under the read more!

When I was designing them I wanted them to look like those 2000s shoujo male love interest but also make them look cuter and softer with a brighter colour scheme and I think it definitely showed haha

They’re also half chinese though I don’t think they speak mandarin fluently at all and they’re transmasc (and non-binary in the future)!

And some miscellaneous funfact about them that I find fun:

- they believe in ghosts and aliens and absolutely loves saying that everything is at the fault of aliens (jokingly ofc)

- they look like they grimace when they smile but that’s just how they smile

- their hairpin from step 2 onwards is a gift from Qiu while the step 1’s hair clip was from their mother

- the definition of introverted and has a resting bitch face

- really likes sports despite their poor hand to eye coordination

- actually also did ballet too but being in crowds is literally the worst so they dropped out

- their hair grows out super fast and they actually feel a bit bad cutting their hair bc the colour is so pretty

And here’s a step 3 Sun sketch I did as thanks for listening to my rambles hehe

GB Patch Games: 2024 Intentions

[Adorable guest art by @dreamtydraw]

Welcome to 2024, everybody 🥳️

This is the year of Our Life: Now & Forever (and 2025 will be too, but let's not get ahead of ourselves that much). After a good five odd years of making Our Life: Beginnings & Always content, it's amazing to look ahead and see only the progress that will be done on this new game. Qiu and Tamarack are the center of the GB Patch Games universe now. But even though I'm not creating any new OL1 scenes, there may still be some exciting developments for the existing stuff. Cove hasn't been forgotten.

💚❤️️💙

If you want to know about what will be accomplished specifically in January, you can read that HERE. Now here's the entire year's goals-

Honestly, 2024 is gonna be the most basic year in a very long time, haha. There's not gonna be major launches of new DLCs, or a full game going live, or any bonus Moments. It's simply making progress on OL: N&F. That's pretty normal for game development. It's just not something we've had to go through since 2019. But we're hunkering down for the long haul on this one.

Specifically, Step 1 will be fully completed in 2024 and I'll make as much headway into Step 2 as possible. There will be two updates to the public demo, one probably in May and another sometime in Fall/Third Quarter 2024. Those will focus on Step 1 scenes still. I can't guarantee we'll be able to rework the Step 2 part of the demo with new content this year. As it is, the content was made to be a demo preview. A lot is gonna change for the complete version.

And that's about it for our main game. I appreciate all of you who decide to follow along with the process.

Beyond that, the Our Life: Beginnings & Always digital artbook is going to become available through Steam and Itch.io in early 2024! Maybe not January, but ideally no later than February.

Finger's crossed, we will also launch Our Life: Beginnings & Always for Mac on Steam and make it available for Androids through the Google Playstore. I can't state it with confidence, since there's constantly been roadblocks/issues with those, aha.

My final little note for this coming year is that, potentially, there could be more information coming out about the game that's going into production after OL2, "Project W".

▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾ ▴ ▾▴ ▾ ▴

And that's what you can look forward to. Every year I'm amazed I can continue to do this as my fulltime job. I'm always wondering when that will end, but I'd be lying if I said I could see that point. The support GB Patch Games has gotten, and still gets each day, is more than enough to for it to continue for the rest of OL2's development.

I'm pretty confident in assuming that when that game does launch it's going to be successful enough for Project W to go into full production. It's a truly wonderful thing. Thank you so much for being here. We'll do our best with the time and attention you've given us.

Happy New Year 🥰️

some leonardo sillies because he's the blorbo ever

[Image ID: Four digital sketches focusing on Leo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 cartoon. The line art is wobbly and imprecise, and only the masks and sword wrappings are colored.

1: Leo is facing the right with his head turned towards the camera. His mouth is open and his brows are furrowed, making him look flabbergasted and offended. There is a thought bubble beside him, reading "U did NOT just fucking say that." He has a bowl of rice and chopsticks in his hands.

2: Two more bust portraits of Leo in various degrees of distress. The first drawing is of him hunched over with his hands over his mouth, looking almost like he's going to be sick with worry. The second drawing shows him gasping in surprise, a little dramatically, with one hand raised to his face.

3: Divided into two sections. The first section is labelled "What it looks like he's doing:". It shows a few drawings of Leo practicing with his katanas and one drawing of him meditating. The second section is labelled "What he's actually doing:". It shows a few drawings of Leo happily playing with his katanas. One drawing has flowers and sparkles coming out of his head at he stares at them, with text beside him reading "haha yaaaay omg swords". Another drawing shows him reading The Art of War with the autism creature face. Another drawing shows him sitting cross-legged and holding up one sword, staring at it with a serious expression and saying, "What does it taste like..."

4: Labelled "Bonus". Leo is sitting and leaning forward to lick one of his katanas with a determined expression. He has a speech bubble saying "...". The next drawing shows him in the same position, but he's sat back a little with a blank expression. There is a large thought bubble next to him with two sequential drawings inside. The first drawing shows him and Don as turtle tots. Don is scrounging around on the floor with a hand to his mouth. Leo looks on, asking "Hey Donny what are you eating". The second drawing is a close up of Don, who stares back at Leo with a wide-eyed, brain-empty expression. He has a speech bubble simply saying "penny". From off screen, Leo replies, "Cool can I have some". End ID.]

You know we want a directors commentary 👀

this update is the culmination of me going "haha wouldn't it be fun to have a big party with the whole island for gran grans birthday!" and then realizing oh shit. now i have to draw that. reap what u sow lolol

if ur wondering where loft and wolf got their outfits, the answer is Tetra's crew! i have half a mind to make a bonus comic about this but we'll see if i have the time lol. Slate already had that outfit in his sheikah slate, I based it off some of the hateno dresses from the botw concept art! Gran Gran's outfit is similarly based off some of the Lurelin designs.

favorite little joke of the update is gran gran making sure aryll and wake are EATING GOOD!

I like the idea of a circle folk dance popping up across Hylian cultures, because of the whole *gestures to the endless cycle of death and rebirth* thing. I imagine Wolf at least is probably familiar with the steps of this kind of dance

that was also the most difficult panel to draw 0/10 will never attempt again lolol

this one is maybe self explanatory but the dinner table on the left is the dinner Wolf had with Rusl, Uli, and Colin in DOG DAYS pt. 1

I designed these festival outfits a while back with no intention to use them in the actual comic but then I realized this was the perfect opportunity. originally I planned for everyone's outfits to use their respective Loftwing's color palette, but it didn't really work with the overall palette of the update lol so I changed them to be more cohesive

I will refrain from saying much about the last page :-) however, I will say that she's at Skyview Spring, which you might remember from prologue. skelda what are u up to!!

and that's about all I've got! honestly not much to say for an update so big HAHA

[turtleofdamascus]

Finally finished this fanart of Sherlock and Co that I've been working on the past few weeks! From this moment in The Blue Carbuncle episode.

My Sherlock is inspired by Dev Patel but he ended up looking a bit like Sergei Polonin. I see John as someone who looks a bit like John Finnemore bc his voice reminds me of that. Also looked a lot at @noodles-and-tea art which I love.

This podcast is giving me life Sherlock and John are so cute in it. I'm most impressed by the complex characterization of John and the portrayal of canon autistic Sherlock. I love how they're friendship and how soft it is. It actually seems like they get along a bit haha. Listen to Sherlock and Co podcast on Spotify! I highly recommend.

Bonus:

Okay so I think the box was unfortunately blocking John's feet so he looked really short. Made some alterations.

[sysig]

alright, gonna officially request this, off anon and everything. X3

Quote "Heya, I was just thinking, imagine todd seeing scriabin on the the couch and laying next to him or something. while Scri just goes *windows error noise*, because he has no clue how to handle affection of any sort really. I just think it would be a v cute doodle" unquote XD

Thanks!

Donnie and April dressed as Hades and Persephone (from the musical Hadestown)!

One of the Discord servers I'm in was holding a cosplay contest (results are not yet in, as of the time I'm writing this) and this was my entry! I had a lot of possible ideas for the prompt, but ultimately, this is the one I felt I had to go with - I just find it interesting how many fundamental similarities there are between the two dynamics, as well some key design elements. Plus, I'll take just about any excuse to draw a dapper Donnie. So that was a bonus, lol.

I had a lot of fun working on this, although I barely made it in before the deadline, haha! It was nice to stretch my rendering skills a bit since I've been doing mostly sketches and loose concept art lately.

Some interesting things I realized during the process:

April's design is basically a modern, sporty version of Hadestown's Persephone - same basic color scheme, similar style, and she even has a black choker!

Donnie's little rectangle-shaped purple spots translate perfectly to Hades' brick wall arm tattoo. This ended up being probably my favorite detail of the entire piece.

April ROCKS those ankle-cut boots.

I hate drawing shoes and should never have picked a walking pose, but we live and learn.

[amiti-art]

Phoebe - titaness of bright intellect and the Delphic Oracle

I took the "bright" quite literally haha

This is an early concept, in the final design I will likely add some more details to her clothes. The glowing hair is definitely staying tho

And here's little bonus with Phoebe teaching little Apollo the art of prophecy after she gifted him the Delphic Oracle

I'm not sure how well know this fact is but Apollo is actually named after Phoebe (Phoebus Apollo)

[Your Attention on Me, Please!] - Fan Comic Pt. 4

LIST: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 |Original Fanfic by Dulcesiabits

Note: WOOO I'm back with the next update. I just wanna say thank you for all the love and support for this fan comic. It means a lot! This chapter took way longer since I really wanted to show Nagi and MC's progression in their relationship. There are some slight changes I've made that weren't in the original fanfic but I think it helps to interpret the storyline visually. Liya has assisted me with the change of wording (girl ILY so much) just to help with the flow of the manga but everything still follows the original fanfic!

BONUS: since it's October >:3 (yes Nagi is a werewolf from that recent official art and I decided his girl will be Red Riding Hood)

Note: Thank you for reading till the end <3 I also wanna say thank you for liking Nagi's MC/Heroine/YN/whateveryoucallher design! I designed her to contrast Nagi. I enjoy the opposite attracts trope!

Liya and I have talked about the other Blue Lock boys and shoujofying them as well HAHA Each of them would have their own MC with a different design...so maybe look forward to that (If I finish out this fan comic abjfkafafkal)
