Monthly Rewards | April. 2023 | Vol.23 Walpurgisnacht
Added 2025-02-01 02:25:41 +0000 UTCLight the bonfire and your spiritual eyes,
For the witches rise under Walpurgis skies!
But the shadows bring no fear tonight,
With Bayonetta, Raven, and Ranni in sight!
Say, it takes more time than I thought...I tested some new skills during the making in the end, do you feel the rendering got more details? โบ๏ธ
And so, we have only one volume left, which features Tsunade, Orihime and Litchi Faye Ling! After the last volume, I'm planning to finish some of my piled-up comic ideas first, which will take at least half of a year I think, maybe at that time I can reveal the process here regularly! There are some other projects I wish to start if possible, even this monthly sheet format have a chance to continue...so many things to do, so less time!
But now, I hope you enjoy this magic volume, and I'll see you next time!

2025-02-05 13:39:47 +0000 UTCIt was a piece done by that "Zarvex" individual, actually! Should be up on their own Patreon, or wherever else they're sharing paid exclusives... A survey!! Goodness me, do I ever have wishes and requests in spades. It's hard to nail down any one specific thing, even! I'm a huge fan of the "slot machine eyes" and "text in eyes" visuals, along with cartoony heartbeats out of the chest, steam from the ears, cartoony KO nonsense, the XL heart eyes (the big balloony variety - like in that Totally Spies comic you did a while back)... I could go on and on and on, believe me. A survey, or some sort of place where I and others could put in suggestions and requests, seems like a delightful idea indeed...! Though of course, I certainly wouldn't want to overwhelm you... Regardless of what happens, I'll be sure to be here for our big finale of this "not-quite monthly" series of yours! ๐

2025-02-02 08:26:47 +0000 UTCI never saw you guys like Terra's weathering gag so much, it was just a perfect timing! I have to adapt her adult costume tho, even we know the titans version of her is the best known ๐

2025-02-02 03:04:25 +0000 UTCThank you for yet another, yearning review! You said there's another Ranni's wildtake, I presume it's the official spin-off manga one, right? If it's not I'm curious...๐ Bayon and Raven are such popular girls that people longing for their wildtake, and trust me, I got some crazy ideas in my stock for a while, but not until I horn my skill through these monthly (now seasonal...) practices like your review expending, the skill to draw distortion getting better than ever, which I may finally get to apply to those contents next on! Maybe I should do a survey lately, do you have any wishes?

2025-02-02 03:00:06 +0000 UTCWell, Jubilee has a small one there ๐ And if you count Sellen's head turning into a heart before Rennala's chest...

2025-02-01 09:27:44 +0000 UTCLove your comments man, they help me understand what makes wildtake art like this so good. Im kind of new to it. This kind of stuff is really amazing! I for one dont think you have to be more brief, the more details the better!

2025-02-01 08:40:00 +0000 UTCOh my gosh, i love all of these so much, but i especially love what you did with bayonetta and raven the most. Seeing such serious and sultry babes get all wacky and insane, i love it. Their eyes bulging out and getting squished. And i love the creativity with terra getting all rocky in that one pic. Nice attention to detail!

2025-02-01 08:29:44 +0000 UTCvery cool It's a pity there's no heartbeat out of chest

2025-02-01 06:53:20 +0000 UTCOhhhh, goodness, goodness, goodness. ๐ Just when I'm feeling like you're about to turn up, here you are - more unbelievably stunning, toony artistry on display!! This group is just fantastic, by the way - a trio of very serious characters being subjected to all kinds of nonserious nonsense. ๐ I've said it before, but that contrast and harmony you achieve between those two contrasts is just incredible and adorable! Admittedly, I'm not super familiar with any of these characters (beyond their appearances in countless fan-projects...), but I can just tell by looking at these how much adorable detail you've squeezed into each, reflecting their franchises in all sorts of clever ways... Firstly is our Umbral Witch herself - I've been looking forward to seeing this bespectacled, domineering beauty subjected to cartoon silliness ever since you announced it was incoming. Just something about her in particular makes her feel ripe for these sorts of things! (Perhaps because she apparently gets flattened in-game, so I'm told...) Seeing her run that unfortunate victim all the way through in that first image... complete with her grabbing their twisting, wildtaking eyes and wrapping them around her wrists for grip, is just amazing. I'm *absurdly* impressed with that second piece, however - showcasing multiple angles of the same scene! That's just incredible in it's own right - I can't imagine how long it took to get all that right. And the contents of the scene itself: running a character through to the point where their toony bulge on the other side can penetrate yet *another* character... So comically different in size, yet their eyes ballooning to matching proportions... (And that heart subtly springing out from that middle character's chest is just adorable. ๐ And I'm a HUGE fan of that final piece - a classic, toony smooch resulting from a flattening! (And honestly? I *love* it when a character's eyes smash through their glasses like that!) You put all kinds of amazing detail in their bodies peeling off each other, yet still grabbing on in other places... Ribbon-thin limbs holding onto each other, distorted eyes popping free of their adhesive bond one-by-one... Lips refusing to let go of each other as Bayo tries to pull her (still flattened! So good on that detail!) form away from her companion... You're superbly talented in depicting this distorted anatomy in such amazing detail. There's so much *texture* to all this cartoony nonsense, it's amazing. ๐ And then we have Raven, practically a brick wall. Seeing that icy exterior melt in the face of toony, sensual nonsense (and comical beatdowns) is just adorable. That startled onlooker in the first image, experiencing both a wildtake and the cartoon "shocked-petrification" gag is really cleverly done - wildtaking eyes having a more rough and chiseled appearance as she crumbles, frozen in shock... And in the second, using the eyes as a grappling point on the body is a trope of your own I never get sick of. As I mentioned with your skills on texture, it really does feel like they're elastic and soft in all kinds of nonsensical, yet *tactile* ways... That coming to a wonderful fruition in that 3rd piece, Ravens being grappled, pummeled and pounded in cartoony fashion. Eyes bursting forth from the body when squeezed, or ballooning from comically intense pleasure... But that one in the upper-left is my favorite. Being whipped around by her own distended peepers, while trying to grab onto them herself as she's flung around - jaw dropping, tongue flapping, all while her back bends in impossible ways as she's flung about. Along with texture detail, you really nail *motion* down as well, all these images depicting their movement in wonderful clarity! (Which, I suppose is only natural, wildtakes often being very "in-motion" reactions...!) That mix of cartoony & realistic details, textures, and shading... along with the mix of otherwise serious, mature-looking characters being subjected to such cartoony shenanigans... Those combinations of such disant concepts I honestly think make your work truly iconic (and precious)! Now, curiously: if I had a nickel for every time I've seen a set of pictures depicting Ranni wildtaking, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it is strange I've seen it twice. ๐ Much like the other artist I saw, her ghostly, second face (or is it her companion? I'm not too familiar with her actual character...) has loads of potential for some unique, cartoony expressions. You did a *really* good job detailing this ghostly half of her, by the way - the "chalky" brushes and shading really add so much detail, while making her still appear clearly transparent and ethereal. Both faces combining into a "three-eyed" wildtake is wonderful (I'm surprised you didn't decide to have the eyes wrapping or coiling around each other, as I've seen in so many of your other pieces!), and that final image is just packed with an adorable smorgasboard of all manner of toony shenanigans! That one character's tongue unravelling is exceptionally well done, if you ask me - you depicting the "mid-frame" shot of it unfurling from her mouth like a carpet being unrolled in such good detail. ๐ Really feels like it'll somehow continue to spiral and unroll until it slams onto the floor below... [*sigh*] And there I go again. I always appreciate you never finding these too long - and besides, it's really the only time I can show your work my appreciation. The time it takes for these, combined with the *stunning* level of detail presented in each of these works, really shows how much effort and patience you give to your projects. It's truly, honestly, super-admirable. ๐ Looking forward to our final volume - and whatever goodness that will entail~! And I'm now even more curious for what you have planned afterwards... Comics, you say, eh...? Hopefully by then, I can be significantly more brief in my praise and responses. ๐ Excited to see what toony goodness you depict in such marvelous detail next!
WhoDoo
2025-02-01 06:21:55 +0000 UTCHehe, that's a must-do, not many characters have two faces!
Acrylictoon
2025-02-01 04:25:25 +0000 UTCYeah was not expecting that to show up but you sure made a very unique Graven Mage thereโฆ! XD Also happy to see the second Ranni face wildtake too!
TouhouTrash
2025-02-01 04:21:27 +0000 UTCIt definitely is inspiring, I never thought the Graven Mages is the last puzzle I need ๐

2025-02-01 03:56:18 +0000 UTCI love your content, just a bummer when there's a dry spell

2025-02-01 03:43:29 +0000 UTCHonestly the lore and mythology of it is its own level of enjoyment so I hope you were able to enjoy it from afar! Honestly you could have fooled me you nailed a lot of important details of the story with these ideas! Regardless, thank you so much for your hard work itโs always worth the wait!
TouhouTrash
2025-02-01 03:36:40 +0000 UTCThank you I now expect myself to take less time on the last volume ๐ช
Acrylictoon
2025-02-01 03:29:36 +0000 UTCThanks Touhou! Elden Ring is such a massive piece, I didn't get a chance to play the game, so it took me years to learn enough to pick out these ideas ever since I decided to draw Ranni in 2023. But it's worthy to dig into this masterpiece of mythology!
Acrylictoon
2025-02-01 03:26:46 +0000 UTCAMAZING WORK!! Just got into Elden Ring over the last several months and am VERY happy with how the whole Ranni section went~ Glad to see Rennala and Sellen included! Sellen is one my favourite girls in it so wasnโt expecting to see her wildtake at all! Good call on her mask reaction there. And creative use of Melinaโs eye for her wildtake! The other two I love as well! Not familiar with Bayonetta as much but you always find a way to make characters I know little about look amazing in your style wildtake or not! I know Raven/Teen Titans more than Bayonetta so the Terra inclusion and the multiple sides of Raven there are so above and beyond!! Thanks for doing these wonderful sets and I hope you can get a bit of rest after all the work you put into it!
