Execution. Pages 28-30
How to sound extremely shady in one easy stepThis was actually the first scene I drew for the comic. It has been completely revamped at least thrice, and all that remains of its first version is the first four panels of this batch and the last panel on page 32. And even those have been redrawn a couple times...TL note:The "You're going somewhere? With HIM?" phrase was "Ты что, собрался куда-то? Вот с этим?" in Russian, which can be interpreted as both "You're going somewhere? With that guy?...
Progress update 03.10.2023
Have a scrapped asset from the new Sanya vid as compensation for missing the last week's update.September was insane and October is looking even crazier! So much to do, so much to do.I haven't been able to work on the video at all in the past 2 weeks. That's ridiculous, right? It's kind of why I felt like doing an update that just went "yeah ive been grinding comms thats it" would look terrible hahaI'm gonna try to focus hard specifically on the video this month and cut down on commission work as much as I can. The g...
FAN CONTENT ROUNDUP
September 2023Time for another fan content roundup!Well, technically, overtime since it’s already October…First of all, some cool things that came out before September, but I only discovered in September: these two remixes.This one is just so beautiful and haunting, it gives the song a completely different feeling and I love it… Please listen to it if you haven’t yet.And this 8-bit cover was recommended to me recently and it’s so cute and fun! The art is absolutely wonderful, too. There’s something about that city, though…As far a...

The PAFL That Never Was: Part 2. Story
Behind the Scenes 09.2023Well then, it’s time to talk about how the original story for PAFL was meant to play out.It was meant to be a comic or a novel, which allowed for a much different style of storytelling. Though, I’m namely talking about the one trick I used at the beginning of the narrative – you’ll know what I mean soon enough.Keep in mind that the summary will be quite vague (especially in later parts), as it was never adapted to any serious extent outside of little comic snippets, illustrations, and written segments. I’ll al...

FAST character interview vote!
Two polls in one day? It's more likely than you think!I'm so professional, this vote has totally slipped my mind - who are we gonna interrogate next week, people?This will be a quick 3-day poll so that we have the time to gather questions before the end of the month🏃
Vote on the next loredump!
What should I dedicate an unreasonably large slab of text to next month?
What’s up with the City?
Loredump. September 2023What do we really know about the City the characters inhabit? Aside from it being located right next to the Zone, not much. And to be fair, the song series format doesn’t leave a lot of room for exploration.But it’s an interesting place in its own right. Today we’ll learn a little bit about its history, life, and how being right next to the strangest area of the planet has affected the lives of its 400,000 inhabitants. Let’s dive right in.View of the City’s edge in winter. Unexciting.Where is the City located?T...
October illustration vote!

Progress Update 18.09.2023
I've been feeling really inspired for the past week. Despite having written The World Is Smiling On Me months ago, I produced it in the span of two days - and (this is the crazy part) was really happy with the result! I'm almost never pleased with my own works, and this one came out exactly how I wanted it to.I've never written songs without assuming a character before. In that sense, I do not write from the heart. So it felt special. On Saturday evening I came home from a trip and wrote another song like that, then spent the whole ...

The visionless leading the blind - HD
HD version of the September 2023 illustration! For some reason CSP refused to export the PNGs in full size, but 100% quality 100% size JPEGs should work just as well

September 2023 monthly illustration featuring best girlThis was so interesting to work on and I'm actually really happy with how it came out! Also the pic went kinda hard with the binarization layer on so I'm attaching it as an altThis is one def going to the print store in a month or so...

Snap this is going into my cringe compilationI've finally managed to make progress on the final part of the song last week, yippie. Didn't work on the video much, but got some good work done on the comic and the Patreon content - I'll drop either the loredump or the Olya illustration sometime this week! Maybe I'll be able to work on the video more diligently once I'm done with that and art commissions.Also, I feel like I've been showing too much of the video's visuals for now, so this will probably be the last previe...

Progress update 05.09.2023
This is gonna be a short oneHad a pretty bad incident last week, so I had little to no time to work on the video - just did commission work to cover some of the expenses and prepared more comic pages for upcoming updates. The idea of finishing the video this month seems a little unrealistic now, but maybe I'll still manage - it's just the start of September, after all!Blehh it's all so tiresome have a pooped Sanya

His ass is NOT paying child support😂😂You can tell I had trouble adapting this batch of pages with how dense they are lmao.

Q&A: Dr Temnova
Character interview. August 2023Welcome to our first character interview! This month's subject is Dr Tatiana Temnova, here by popular demand.We will be asking doc some of the highest-ranking questions from you, in no particular order. Let's begin!Not Quite Enough asks: "We all know you're quite the devoted researcher, doctor, but I have to ask what led to your work in the facility? Why research mutants specifically?"Oliver Jones asks: "I'm a young scientist myself and would love to know, what exactly did you study be...
FAN CONTENT ROUNDUP
August 2023This is the first post in the monthly fan content roundup series where I highlight some of the cool stuff you guys do – and lord, you do a LOT! While I try to promote as much fan content as I can on my social media, I think doing a little roundup at the end of the month is a nice way to share the goodies with those that might have missed them.Sadly, I can’t include every single piece of fanart here, so I will limit myself to a very arbitrary list of works that have stuck in my mind the most. If your art wasn’t mentioned here, p...

Progress update 28.08.2023
Still working through the second verse! It ended up having more animations (albeit low framerate ones) than I expected, much like the rest of the video. Running out of available scene slots in aviutl is becoming a real concern of mine lolI'm working on the comic in parallel, polishing up the existing pages and drawing the ones that were missing / needed to be redone. I really hate screentoning... Wish I could just do lineart and have an assistant do the tones like a true and honest mangakaAlso got Anri recently (all thanks to tart)! I'v...

Note on Patreon content discussion
I've gotten a couple questions on whether patrons can discuss Patreon-only content outside of Patreon. The answer is yes, absolutely!However, please do not post any screenshots or relay large chunks of text, and obviously please do not repost the content itself. And when it comes to things like the comic, please try to keep things spoiler-free.That's about it!
