Hello there, I have been following your comics since the original BUP series and I want to say how much I love the art in this new comic! You have improved a lot and I’m eager to see more of it when the time comes! :D

Oh gosh, thank you very much. Happy to hear you're enjoying the look of the new version of the comic. Thank you. This makes me excited to work more on the new pages.

Marian with a bit updated look.

Not sure if this was asked yet, but is it only chapter 1 thats going to be revamped or is it also the rest of the comic till chapter 9? :o

Hiya! The whole story is revamped! Wait till you see chapter 2. Original was like... 6 pages lol. It's gonna be way better now.

[bottledupcomic]

Hope you enjoyed whopping 7 new BUP pages. We're all the way to page 17 now. Upload pace has been great!

The next set of pages are something I've been looking forward a lot, and one reason I wanted to redo chapter 1. It's a fully new scene with RGB. Hope you're looking forward to it.

It will be 5 pages in total.

Bottled Up | Chapter 1 : Alive Again | Pages 11-17

A this one just barely slips away. Better go report back to the shopkeeper. So he can continue his totally legal business. :)

A little question that I've found myself curious about I noticed a new design for elemental magic now involves a black substance along them. Is there any lore to that? Or is it spoilers? My first thought was that it may be the nectar stored in their bottle turning into the element? Either way I love the design! And the new artstyle! And I'm overall so excited for Bottle Up to come back!

Hiya! A good eye indeed. There will be more about the nectar itself but this is not really a spoiler, yeah it's the nectar turning into elemental magic. We're dealing with a comic but imagine this animated: the magic first comes out as sparkling liquid like form and then turns into the elemental form.

It's my way of trying an unique look for magic. Nectar itself is like honey, sometime sin running form, sometimes crystallized. The look I'm going for: melted stained glass, haha.

And thank you! It's good to be back and doing good pace with new pages!

Bup comic pages 11-17 are done. The pages will be up... Hell, they'll be up tomorrow. Enjoy

After All... Why not? Why shouldn't I draw Daisy?

[bottledupcomic]

I played Mouse PI for Hire. And there is a mayor with the name Stilton, could he be related to Arnick? Now that I think about it there were a lot of characters who had the same last names as yours

How cheesy of them to use the same names.

Glad people have been enjoying BUP. Fun fact, I've uploaded pages so far in faster pace than "once-a-week-schedule". So huzzah!

So when's the next update? Next batch of pages will be whopping 7 pages and has a couple detailed background panels so it might take a bit. But I'll do my best!

Bottled Up | Chapter 1 : Alive Again | Pages 7-10

Isabelle reveals having some massive sandy hands she uses to catch criminals. Too bad this one is a fast slippery one.

The style I chose for this comic gets to shine on these pages. Edit: forgot to also mention. I changed the terminology from "artifact" to "amulet". Page 1 has been edited to reflect this change.

Next 4 pages of Bottled Up chapter 1 will be up tomorrow /0/

Alrighty, the first update of Bottled Up has gone up and I'm glad people have enjoyed it so far. I'm now gonna talk a bit about what are the plans with working on this comic and updates. So the plan is that from now on, I always fully sketch the chapter, before I start finishing pages. This allows me to better see the overall flow of the story and see if there are any edits needed. This does mean, however, that there can be long pauses between chapters. But once the chapter is sketched, finishing the pages should be faster. I'll also keep people up to date how progress is going.

Then how about updates when a chapter is going? There is no specific update schedule. But, when there is an update, you get multiple pages. And my goal is to try to do at least one update a month with 4 pages. Which is the same pace as once a week update, but you could get more. After each update, I'll let people know how many pages next update will be, which can give an idea how long the wait is.

So! How many pages can you expect next update? I'm planning 4 pages. So (hopefully) the wait won't be too long!

Thank you again all for the kind words. It's been great to see people's positive reactions. It's good to be back.

Congrats on the first new chapter!!!! So worth the hype already, and visually a beauty, as with all your work!

I have a question though. What is the reason behind the Wind Nectar’s color change? Is it because purple would stand out better in a black and white visual setting? Is it just for funzies? Or is there some super secret lore behind it that you can’t reveal for now?

Thank you! Glad to hear it was worth the wait and you like the style.

The wind nectar was always a pinkish/purplish hue. Guess I'm emphasizing the purple more now in the comic. Shows better against the blacks yeah.

The colours of the nectar orange, blue, green and purple are in a way to reference to the old splatoon team colours, haha.

[bottledupcomic]

I'm! So excited for the return! Love the use of color so far, very excited to see more.

Thank you! The colour gets to shine even more when we get to more nectar/magic heavy pages.
