Tarnished needs a different job (15)
AFTER LIKE 20 HOURS we figured out how to leave longer messages. (it says so right in the UI but we never read the fine print.... we assumed it needed to be unlocked.........)We made sure to take advantage of this as practically as possiblealso to note, no one liked this message. U__U even though the field was very lovely 🌼

WAHHHHH this took two days but we managed it!!! This was the first boss I was actually able to get into the guts of the fight because the imps were too fragile to last the whole time! In the final run they managed to survive until the end, it felt nice, we all made it..... thanks buddies.........Please note that ... I hadn't figured out how to dual-wield the claws yet ... also I still haven't figured out how to use a shield in any meaningful way so I just didn't use it at all ...........

we started working on Godrick, the ?first mandatory? boss in the game?this fight is like, really hard for my build and personal skill-level, but also we got a "secret" animation that involves getting eaten by a dragon head so I call it an overall winit should be noted that the playstation says we have completed 0% of the game

As someone who has NEVER EVER EVER gravitated towards fist weapons in any game in my LIFE, for some reason I've gotten really attached to the claws???? (it's because they're really fast, also they do a lot of damage with the same stacking status effect The Imps do, bleed)anyway the problem is that a fist weapon also entails being on top of an enemy and dying a lot, like all the time, nonstop, because I'm bad at dodging and don't ever remember to use the shield 🛡✌️REGARDING OTHER NEWS: last week I handed off a big pile...

I had this boss spoiled for me but if I hadn't I probably would've screamed when we first came across her (her??? I'm making this assumption 100% based on the loot drop you get, there's very little sexual dimorphism in this game, you get gender cues from text descriptions)anyway, very scary, A+++, don't want to fight againAlso: (SPOILER) that loot drop was the summon for Lhutel the Headless, who is supposed to be one of the better summons in the game!!! We haven't been able to use her yet (Percy's stats aren't hi...

I will never get over how much I love the imps' "wet feet on concrete" noise. That's it, that's the only noise they make.I hope it's cool I keep drawing and sharing these little comics, it's always been difficult for me to force myself to draw "loose and fast" and I feel like little idiot diary comics like this has been a nice way to relax my brain while I'm eating lunch.

Took a break from Stormveil Castle and headed down to the Weeping Peninsula, which I think is technically supposed to be done first??We keep on dying at the very end of boss battles, but the imps keep pulling through, big thank you to the imps. A friend mentioned we should give a shot at summoning other players to assist which sounds sCARY and HARROWING, I don't want strangers to see the way I play this game.........
Tarnished needs a different job (aside)
I keep meaning to do a little drawing of Leeds wearing Blaidd's armor!!! Since I finally posted the Blaidd drawing today on my twitter I figured I should finally do thatBasically.... I wanted to give Leeds a buster sword........ 🙈💦

OH RIGHT I'M STILL DOING THESE DAILY!!!!I've basically stopped doing Wordle in the mornings and have taken that time to do these comics instead hahaha ... this one took me about twice as long as I usually "allow" myself, but this was so funny I wanted to document it??We keep on poking at Stormveil Castle (Elden Ring's first proper dungeon) and then running off to explore and coming back, and leaving again. Anyway, there was a scary black knight in a completely unlit room and Percy killed him by throwing fireballs at him whil...

I realize I've been posting a lot of little 20-minute Elden Ring journal comics but please be rest assured I'm ALSO working on the next chapter of Barbarous lolForward movement has been a bit slow because I've been ping ponging between two video games, a television show, and assorted production for two books for publishers, on top of everything in the run-up to Pixels of You being released. ANYWAY!!!!! I've been working hard!!!! And a lot!!!!!!!!!But we're excitedly working on Barbarous! It looks really cool so far, I think ...

After like 20+ hours of fucking around all over the world map we finally went off to the first game plot boss and were like, "oh wow a cutscene"To be entirely honest, DESPITE being technically over-leveled Percy spent the last 10 or so seconds of this fight dead while the imps finished everything?? We had to respawn and run back to the boss area to grab all our stuff lol

WE MET BLAIDD!!!!!!! Thank-you to the several people who told me to play Elden Ring because there was a handsome wolf man, I have now met the handsome wolf man, he's very handsome.We had the assumption that he'd have a more bestial voice or there'd be some sort of reverb added in post but no he just has a chill handsome voice. I'm sure these people knew what they were doing.Blaidd fits very firmly into Percy's Venn Diagram of Attraction because her types are "tall" and "capable."somehow I've been doing th...

We looted an Imp Helm (wolf-style, apparently there's 3 or 4 different kinds) from a catacomb, some very raggedy looking armor, and a big pole-arm with a bloody saw at the end, and now finally Percy has gone Full GoblinI continue to be Not Great at this game*, but it feels very cool to swing around a long stick with a saw at the end?? Mostly our experience with Elden Ring has been "sightseeing vacation around an evil landscape." Because you can access a fast mount whenever you want, it makes "running around and looking at stuff&...

Percy's horrible adventures continue.Last night I finally misjudged a jump for the first time and fell into a ravine.... sorry Torrent....I'm slowly getting better at this game but NOT QUICKLY lol ... I spent a good chunk of my "2 hours of off-time before bed" getting absolutely destroyed by tiny gargoyles that stabbed me to death U___U

Day 2 of trying Elden Ring. I am still bad at this game, but the badness is fun. I realized I didn't know how to run(???) and suddenly exploration became 10x more funPercy The Confessor has died 500000000 times in the span of 3 hours
Tarnished needs a different job
We started up Elden Ring last night (meaning I, Yuko, am playing it. like, cartoonishly badly - while Ananth reads walkthroughs and points out stuff to me)you guys did you know souls games are hardI just came off earthbound on the switch why does this controller have so many buttons I haven't played a playstation game since final fantasy 10 help helpanyway Percy is our Confessor, she got eaten by a trash mob of bats last night and then it was time to go to bed. Wish us luck, we will need itwhy does everyone keep calling us maidenless it'...

I tried to draw Percy as quickly as possible!!! I recently picked up an oversized flannel and am now obsessed with it eheheSPRING IS FINALLY ARRIVING IN NEW YORK!!!! I can't wait to be able to see friends outside again, it's been a real lonely winter. Hope you're all doing well!
BARBAROUS Chapter 7 dev update!
Hey, it's that guy! Man, Percy sure does know a lot of tall people.Work on CH7 is coming along! Hoping to have thumbs wrapped up pretty soon. Can't wait to share it with you!
North (and North)
I've been poking at this drawing of North (both the guy and the dragon) for about a week and I finally finished him today instead of playing Videogames haha...North is one of the protagonists of a story called Walking Gods that I've been thinking about for like, 15+ years haha... you might recognize him from back when I was active on Tumblr (or livejournal 😬💦). I used to draw him a lot on my college notes, tho even now I think about those characters a lot!! Constantly!!I drew this completely without reference and realized I got a ...
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
I drew a little thing for Valentine's Day for tomorrow but wanted to show you all first!!! This is the outfit Percy will be wearing in the next chapter so it felt right to draw her wearing it now ehehe 💕Hope you all have a great weekend! 💖💘💝
secret webcomic fanart (spirit bathhouse)
I've been really enjoying this twitter-only 18+ comic called Spirit Bathhouse and have been meaning for months and months to draw something for the author, if only as a "hello I also like monsters" handshake. Zaggie is the most Leeds-adjacent character so I really wanted to draw him! 🐲✨HEADS UP, Spirit Bathhouse is an adult comic so please only click that above link if you're above the age of 18!!! Also if you're a minor supporting this Patreon, wow how did you get a credit card, good hustle?????(additional heads up: th...
Sticker design: Chiaki!
Chiaki is one of my favorite characters to draw, why did she only stick around for one chapter*!!!! Short skirt/long jacket is such a fun combo, especially with the oversized varsity jacket-as-cape.*or did she 👀The little square in the corner of the first screenshot is a 1/8 inch measurement I made for our sticker templates, to make art is within the safe area of the kiss cuts upon manufacturing. (kiss cuts are the fine cuts around a sticker sheet that go through the sticker paper but not the backing)I've been having fun designing this s...
BARBAROUS Chapter 7 dev update!
These will be going up in the run up to Chapter 7! We're hard at work on Chapter 7, and the first thing that happens after scripting is creating references for the various characters in major scenes. This chapter has quite a lot!
