It’s finally time! Episode 2 of Wakeup Call is ready for release. I plan to go public with it right after I finish my cover art for it. I think I greatly improved my technique since the first episode. It still has an overall “amateurish” look to it, especially regarding the lineart. However, I think the expressions are more solid this time around, and I was able to streamline the designs considerably. I hope you enjoy it.

I finally “completed” Monster Train and Mario Odyssey. Covenant 20 with all faction combinations, and 999 moons, including the final level on Darker Side. Technically, I haven’t 100%’d either of them. There are still a few moons I haven’t collected, and I can always go up to Covenant 21+. However, with Covenant 25 almost being an entirely separate game compared to the earlier covenants and a lack of desire to 100% Mario Odyssey for now, I think I’ll move on to some other games. I need to get more information for my tabletop game project. Maybe I’ll find something new to play with the Summer Steam sale upon us.

I’ve got most of my new Cosmic alien designs ready for upload. I’m looking forward to adding them to my Cosmic section. I’m thinking once I get to 100 aliens, I’ll want to start breaking it up into multiple pages. It’s hard to scroll through on mobile given the huge number of aliens, so breaking it up like that will make it easier on people’s thumbs. Ideally, I’d still like to index the aliens so people can search for the ones they’re looking for. I still need to see how that works. It should be a good learning experience.

As for the coming month, my current plan is to work on episode 3 of Wakeup Call in September. I’m planning an October release for it. If I can get it out earlier, I definitely will do so. However, I’ve actually got a second comic in the works that I’m planning to start in August, and I still need to work on the script for episode 3 before I can develop it. Luckily there isn’t too much demand for Wakeup Call at the moment, so it shouldn’t cause any major uproar.

That’s all for me this week. Make the most!
