Thank you so much!
The response to 100 epitaphs has been abolutely amazing so far. I'm extremely grateful for all the kind words I've received, and I genuinely wish I could respond to each and every message.But most importantly, I want to extend special thanks to you, my patrons! Your support was a huge reason I was able to finish the video this November. You allowed me to focus on finalising the episode instead of having to resort to commission work, and your encouragement throughout the whole process was incredibly motivating.Thank you from the bottom o...
Progress update 30.11.2023
Lots of updates this past couple of days, huhI'm once again very grateful for all the support and understanding I've received under my last post. You're really too kind to me, and it actually motivated me a lot.If you haven't seen my little social media update, I should be able to post the video today after all. There's been a lot of compromises over the course of my "stitching the video back together" process, but I've also used the chance to rework a couple of shots I really hated in the original version. Hopef...
Progress update 27.11.2023
I'm really thankful for all of your kind words on my last post. I was certain I'd be able to do it, I was moving at a good pace.Today the project file got corrupted and all attempts to restore it from backups or otherwise have failed. I will try and frankenstein together the edited parts of the video from old test exports and edit other parts all over again. I will still try to make it by the end of the month but at this point I don't know how realistic that is - my plan did not account for having to redo completed segments.It happe...
Progress update 26.11.2023
less than 4 days left. drawing the video like my life depends on it. i'm sorry i cannot post any comic pages today - i'll make up with more pages on consequent sundays and will finish the two articles + fan content roundup as soon as the video is complete. if you wish to withdraw your support because of this, i understand.i don't think i've ever been on this insane of a grind in terms of PV making. i'd for sure like to talk about this production in december behind the scenes hahaeither way, i am really grateful for your pati...
Ask Tsar a question!

Not quite the final mix, but here's a little preview of the song. Why does Patreon add this weird click at the start... This is the last teaser I post - there have been too many as is.I only got 10 days left to finish everything grrrahhhI'll only be focusing on the new PAFL episode to make sure I make it before the end of the month, so some of the patreon benefits may come a little late - I apologise if that will be the case. Thank you for being patient with me!
Who do we interview this month?
Let's do a background character round! The poll ends on the 25th🏃
Execution. Page 46-49
and so begins the kitchen arc***This is a PAFL prequel comic based on a short story I wrote some time ago. It's my first time doing a comic that's this long and based on something with dialogues this wordy, so the art is pretty rough at the start and the pacing is very slow. Though, maybe some of you are into that.The comic updates with 2-4 pages every Sunday. The full release will be free to read, this is just early access for anyone interested🌞
Vote on this month's loredump!
Let's maybe knock out one of the topics that took second place in previous votes + add one new option. The poll will end in 5 days!

It's funny how I've kinda given up on making the lyrics readable in certain shots, god (and Youtube captions) help youI wanted to get an article about inspirations for PAFL out last week, but was too focused on the video and didn't have the time. I don't have much to say aside from the fact that I'm working as much as I can to finish it this month hahahI've more or less finalised the second and first chorus, but I still have things to iron out and fill out in the verses + do the whole last stretch of the song. Still, I&#...

On that grind💪💪💪I want to finish the video this month so bad, even though most of my first week here disappeared because of some BS. It's okay, though. I'm so in the zone. I do wonder if I'll have the time to fix some of the wonky ass earlier parts... If not, I guess you'll see my progress as the PV goes on hahahEither way I'm getting lots of enjoyment out of it. Convergence and Comfort Zone had 13 animation folders each, and this one already has 30 with the last bridge and sequence still left to go. Will we make it...
Execution. Pages 39-42
are we some kinda... suicide squad?I'm not too happy with how cramped the layout turned out on this batch - the last page was especially difficult to reformat to a smaller size. You can tell I struggled to fit everything in hahaI hope most of the following pages will be easier to adjust. Maybe I'll tweak something for the full release, too.***This is a PAFL prequel comic based on a short story I wrote some time ago.

FAN CONTENT ROUNDUP
October 2023Back at it agin with another roundup!There's been so much amazing stuff this month... It's been a very busy one for me and seeing all of the incredible art cheered me up a lot! So I'm very grateful for that.In any case, let's get to it.While definitely not something from this month, I've recently got a lot of questions about this website. People seem to assume that it was made by me, when it's actually a fan project by Monstertsunami!It's not finished, but is nevertheless very charming and deserves a visi...
How does the stalker business work?
Loredump. October 2023A web of alliances, insiders, clients, and territorial disputes - this is what forms the stalker business, a domain that’s as illegal as it is profitable.Today, we’ll delve into the basic origins and inner workings of this peculiar profession. Let’s find out how these glorified marauders operate!How did the stalker business develop?The stalker business emerged almost as soon as the Zone itself was born. But, much like every structure based around the Zone itself, it became more refined - and more corrupt - as years w...

Sorry for only 2 pages this week - I'm on a big time crunch.***This is a PAFL prequel comic based on a short story I wrote some time ago.

Progress update 23.10.2023
I think I've managed to squeeze in some good progress last week despite having little actual time to work on the video! 4 animated shots and 3 static shots/assets seems alright. Sadly, I will be away from home for most of the coming week, so I'll have to focus on preparing the scheduled Patreon content while I can.Shame that I missed the mark so hard with my initial aiming for September, but November seems easily achievable. This is probably the most I've enjoyed making a PAFL video so far.
Execution. Pages 34-36
You'll notice that starting with this batch there's a slight style shift. We're entering the actual oldest part of the comic where I was still figuring things out. If things look off from time to time, you know why.I've made corrections to a lot of the panels and have reformatted the pages as best as I could to fit the standard page format - they used to be much longer. I think it will be more noticeable later on as the pages become a lot more dense with panels.I'm sorry for the inconsistency. But I'm not sorry enough to...

What shall I ramble about in November?
Progress update 16.10.2023
I'm finally able to properly work on the video again, I'm so glad! I can't enter the hyperfocus mode that allows me to finish videos in the span of a week quite yet because of how cramped this month is, but I finally feel like I am getting back on track.Janky little animations, oh how I missed you

How I approach character design
Behind the Scenes 10.2023I wanna preface this by stating the obvious: I'm not a professional concept artist and take everything I say here with a grain of salt.I've made a good number of designs I'm proud of and a lot of designs I'm not quite satisfied with.So this isn't a guide, but a collection of notes about my personal process, what I've found works for me and what doesn't.Here's what doesn't.ShapesThey say good character design is all about shape language but I say that's a crock of shit. Well, not e...

HD version of the October 2023 illustration🤲
Stencil
I wanted to try my hand at a more flat&sketchy poster style, and it was surprisingly challenging - I think this one took me the longest out of all other monthly illustrations.I'm not super satisfied with the result, but it was fun to work on regardless!
