MONTHLY NEWS # 1 - Jun 2023 - Monthly News, season 2 by Akelun

Hello everyone!

As promised here: https://www.weasyl.com/journal/172951/news-projects-for-this-month-and-for-the-next , I'm posting right now my first weekly news journal... well not weekly any more. I remembered in fact that previously, when I was already doing this, it wasn't "weekly" news, but monthly. And I thought it would be better this way. Weekly journals would have been too much to make, and in addition, it made more sense to post monthly updates in order to recap on my monthly goals that I'm trying to set for myself.

So, the point of those "monthly news" will be to resume evrything I've done during my month. In order to motivate me, and to show to all my Patreon's subscribers that I'm still active. And this resume will start right now.

COMMISSIONS:

I started to work on it. The 3 commissions still on my queue, for Dragonniar, The XenoRaptor and Ruugar4 will be my next monthly goal for this coming month: July. But until now I didn't find the motivation yet, and since June started as the month when my depression seemed to finally have stopped, I wanted to keep that month to give my mind some rest and peace, by working only on personal stuff. But yes, June is almost done, and with it, I will send the sketches for all the commissions on my queue very soon.

SCRIPT:

Since the start of 2023, the script of my comic project (which currently oscillate between a too much ambitious comic project and a french big novels serie project (that I may translate in English one day?)) is probably the thing I worked the most on. As you remember, if you did read my previous post in link above, I probably was depressed between the months of January and the start of this month, June. However, working on my script felt kinda relaxing, and so, this is the part of the project I managed to work the most on.

And a lot of things had changed in fact. Initially, this project had my herm dragon, Keluna, in it. But Keluna never was the main character. This project was always mainly centered around humans, and one woman in particular, named Kawa. And to make it short, I wasn't pleased by that fact any more. So I decided to transform the main character of my project as 2 main characters: Kawa and Keluna. Sometimes, we will have 2 or 3 chapters that follows Kawa's adventures, then 2 or 3 chapters that follows Keluna's adventures, and so on.

So, in a word, my script now follows 2 different stories with 2 different adventures that will, sometimes, crossed together.

It was a bit of a headache because this changed a lot of things and I had to edit several scenes or even add and delete some others.

Oh! And on a last note, my dragon "Keluna" will be renamed "Selun" very soon.

COMICS:

For this month, I edited and posted the latest sketch page of my comics project, and posted the new and next page. It was really pleasant to work on it again, and I intend to post some others again very soon.

As for the "final" pages, posted at least one new page is part of the new goals for the next month, July.

3D:

Finishing two 3D animable characters, including the final 3D version of my herm dragon Keluna / Selun, and start a SFW animation with the other 3D character were the goals for this month. Technically, the month is not done yet, so I still have time, and... I think I can still do it. I met some technical difficulties with the UV unwrapping (needed to start texturing) with my dragon. It slowed me down, but maybe not enough to block me.

LIFE UPDATE:

Nothing has really changed, except that my depression phase seems to be really done. Since the start of June, I really started to feel better. Although, I'm still often tired and under a lot of stress. I'm still searching for a new job.

# NEXT GOALS for JULY:

  • Finishing June's goals if I didn't manage to do it

  • Sending the 3 sketches for the commissions on my queue, and finishing at least 1 or 2 of them

  • Making and posting the next final page of my comic project
