Update 17 Preview: Couple new sunshine versions

A little peek at the upcoming update. With Morocco being, well, Morocco during the middle of summer there'll be plenty of sun. And none of these guys have seen the midday-deck yet, and so all of them needed their sunshine lighting for Update 17.I should give more characters hats. Makes it so much easier to do the lighting. Since it's just a paintover layer that gets plopped on top of the sprite I have to be pretty careful to not touch areas that might move. So I generally stay away from mouths where i can, ears as well. But if you just ...

Back from NFC

Hey everyone, figured i'd leave a quick post before it's update day.Came back from NFC recently and by now I'm through the worst the concrud threw at me, I think.Hope that if any of you went to it that you had a good time as well. :DActually had a pretty fun meeting with some peeps from the Dawn Chorus team as well as from Minotaur Hotel. So it was fun to actually get to talk to people who try to do the same weird thing and somehow make it work.Outside of that it was mostly the usual meeting of friends and trying to survive the conv...

Conway's Second Birthday! (+special offer)

Hey everyone! It's the 8th of February, and exactly 2 years ago the first built of Conway made it to itch.And boy what a ride it's been so far. :D Plenty highs, plenty lows as well of course. But it never stops being amazing to know that you all enjoy what i'm doing. Hearing some talk about the characters, some thoughts on how things might continue with them, what people enjoy about them, etc.As a little celebration bonus we're currently having a sale on the yearly patreon memberships, at 20% off!Meaning you get like two and hal...

Some more added expressions

Hey hey, little preview for Update 17. Had some time to go through my notes again and fill in some expressions that were still needed. So here they are!

Morocco Character Focus Poll

Heyo Navigators!With our start into Morocco not being too far off now we gotta see which characters we should focus on first. Of course a situation where we go through all of them regardless eventually. But might as well let you decide who we should be paying attention to first.You have multiple choice available, so pick as many as you like, and the poll just runs until I have to finalize things. No exact date for that at this point though.

Early Bird - Sam & Julian Bioluminescence

And we got the alternative Bioluminescence scene done. With every character being included for the evening scene I felt it was a good idea to get some variety in the pictures. Of course replacing the figures in the other one works fine enough, but i think just switching it up makes it a little more interesting.So Sam and Julian have gotten their own version. And of course we also managed to get in some Maritime Menagerie appearances by Blackerst and Fanglicious.I hope you like it and thank you very much for your support :)

A new patreon shop (with some stuff you get for free as a paid supporter)

Hey, seems like Patreon has finally made the shop available for everyone/me, so I went ahead and filled it out with some of my offering that is already available on Gumroad and itch. Might as well, doesn't exactly hurt to have it be present here, too.If you are a paid supporter then you also will get free access to some/all of them. All of that stuff is technically already available with the subs. Just some of it has been buried pretty deep in the past. So if nothing else, the shop makes it a bit easier to access it all and know it's th...

10 Year Anniversary 4k Artpack

Earlier this year I had the 10th anniversary of posting my work online. I had grander plans for it all that never materialized but as a little thank you, here is a 4k version of one piece of Artwork from each year. (Exception being the earliest two. They simply weren't painted that large lmao so those you just get in whatever size they were painted.) Further included are a handful of sketches that show the early stages of some of the paintings. I hope you'll enjoy them all and thank you very much for 10 pretty amazing years!

Nomax's Photoshop & Procreate Brushes + Tutorial Video

Easily the question I get asked most often is about what Brushes I use. So to squash that I figured that I'd do a little package of my Brushes alongside a Video tutorial where I briefly go over them and show what they're all used for. So, welcome and I hope these will be helpful to you! These are packed into an .abr file, meaning Photoshop is their origin program, a pretty recent photoshop CC version, so the older Photoshop CS versions will run into trouble. But many other art programs like Procreate are able to load them as well. If i...

Quick announcement for the WIP Update

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well?I've got 3 things to talk about today! Let's start with the headline then, and our #1.Wanted to give a quick note about the WIP Update. Namely that we'll end up skipping it this month.Reason being that there just isn't really anything in it yet. The WIP updates are usually just whatever writing I myself have ready for it, or whatever didn't make it into the last update that I was able to finish in the meantime. And with us planning to start the Morocco section next update this month I...

WIP of Sam & Julian Bioluminescence

Figured I'd chuck a WIP up here since this month is a lot of planning for me, so there's not as much visibly exciting. So, we'll fill the time with a work-in-progress shot of this painting.i didn't want for all the Bioluminescence pictures to be the exact same with just the characters switched out, so Sam & Julian get a completely different artwork.Also of course two Maritime Menagerie characters in here again! :D

Last preview before the public release of update 16. We got some neat new art in there, so how about a little peek of how it looks in-game? Not too shabby, eh?

Perce Nude Sprite - Landsman Pack

Early Bird - Below Zero

Commission done for Aryte. Haven't yet got the final approval for it, so might have some slight changes between this and the public version if something is requested. Aryte gave me artistic liberty for the commission and since it was right around the time of our first snow of the winter i felt like some winter themes picture would be nice. Saw some paintings that made you absolutely feel the cold they were depicting and I wanted to give it a whirl as well.Snow has always been a subject i quite liked, and I feel it usually ends up with some ...

Early Bird - Nomax Life Drawing

Hey everyone, first image for the next Update, since we'll finally get around to fulfilling the life drawing promise that could have been given early on day 2.This is actually an older piece of art that I made a few years ago, but it fit my needs for this promise pretty much spot on. So why not give it a second life in the game?And yeh, next update will again be preeetty art heavy by the looks of it. That, along with how short february will be, especially with Nordic Fuzzcon sapping some time as well means I might not actually get a whole l...

Update 16 Preview #1

Hey hey, with Update 16 all ready and done, we've got out first little preview for you. Namely the Menu to pick some of the new scenes to go for. :DSince it'll be the end of day 12 I wanted to make sure to include all the main characters again and give them their moment.

Conway end of the year talk

Hey everyone, I hope you're having a pleasant holiday season.Now that the year is coming to an end I figured it'd be a good moment to talk about 2024 and how it all went for the Conway project and, by extension, myself as well.First of all, another whole fecking year of Conway?! I'd say that's pretty amazing already, isn't it? I'm not sure if i really saw making Visual Novels as my future even as early as a month or two before I started Conway, but here we are.We're just about to finish day 12,which honestly has take...

Bioluminescence V2 - Rajeeyah & Wolf

Since we'll have more scenes with the Bioluminescence theme we'll have a few different versions of it. Can't quite make a full new picture for every single one of them of course, that'd be a bit too much work allocated to that, we can have some variations. Like this one for example. :)

Arthur Service & Bioluminescence - 10$ tier

Hey everyone and happy holiday season to you all.Sorry that we didn't have one of these last month, but i simply didn't really have much since i was pretty much exclusively busy with writing, which well, just doesn't really show well in these sets :DIn here we got the PSD files for the Arthur Service and the Bioluminescence picture.And of course as always we also have the 25% off prints coupon: KSIC1IHUsable over here: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/nomax/And of course for you navigators we always have the scene suggestion box open:...

Arthur Service & Bioluminescence - 5$ tier

Hey everyone and happy holiday season to you all.Sorry that we didn't have one of these last month, but i simply didn't really have much since i was pretty much exclusively busy with writing, which well, just doesn't really show well in these sets :DIn here we got step by steps and sketches and all that good stuff for the recent Bioluminescence and Arthur Service pictures.And of course as always we also have the 15% off prints coupon: RS4NTLQUsable over here: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/nomax/I hope you enjoy it and thank you ver...

Perce BJ & Eagle Feeding - 2$ tier

Hey everyone and happy holiday season to you all.Sorry that we didn't have one of these last month, but i simply didn't really have much since i was pretty much exclusively busy with writing, which well, just doesn't really show well in these sets :DIn here we go the highres and wallpaper version of these two pictures. Funnily enough i actually think the eagle feeding phone wallpaper works weirdly well. Usually the widescreen pictures rarely do, but there is just something about the framing this time. And of course as always we also...

Early Bird - Arthur Bioluminescence Artwork

Phew, that one was fighting me all the way. But I think we can call it done here. I don't think it's my best work, and i couldn't quite eek out the potential i think this scene has, but sometimes you just have to accept that for some paintings.But yes, this'll be the artwork to go along with the scene that was still WIP in the last update.We also have three Maritime Menagerie Supporters taking part in this picture, with their characters Prince (rightmost), Spike (Bottom) and Jesse (TopLeft).Thank you all for the continued suppor...
