A little taste of what's cooking :)

#I Saw a Demon in Utaya #doujinshi #mithrun #process #the page count increased on account of i added some stuff #and also the monster fights are taking more space than i originally planned for #my original script was just like 'he fights the monsters'#and then i had to actually figure out the monster fights #and this is my first time doing a proper fight scene i think so i am having A Time #anyway look forward to that #oh also i gave him a sword #because of reasons #you'll see :)

since I Saw a Demon is in the lead, here's some rough cover concepts

#dungeon meshi #kabru #mithrun #i saw a demon in utaya #doujinshi #process

Having this dilemma where I've written two more doujinshi scripts in addition to the one I'm already working on and now I'm trying to decide if I just wanna pivot and work on the shorter one so I can have something done, or keep the momentum going and continue working on the longer one.

Gonna put it to a vote since I'm indecisive, so here's some info about them -the longer one (Recultivate): Mithrun asks Kabru to make him that awful dungeon soup again, and their relationship develops as they share meals together. This is what all the concept work I got way too into is for. Generally pretty indulgent. My roughs for this have it at about 60 pages. -the shorter one (I Saw a Demon in Utaya): Kabru and Mithrun face a nightmare together. Less romance in this one, more my fixation on the Utaya incident being something that impacted both of their lives, Kabru because he was there, and Mithrun because he wasn't. Haven't paced this one out yet, but I expect it'll be more around 15 pages or so.

what are we feelin?

Keep working on the longer one (Recultivate)

Finish the shorter one first (I Saw a Demon in Utaya)

Voting ended onJan 9

#kabumisu #yes there is one more i am still noodling around with the script for that one so saving it for last #but if anyone is curious in that one Fleki talks Mithrun into eating a poisonous mushroom and Kabru has to go rescue him #which sounds silly but it's mostly angst and hurt/comfort #lots of side character interactions in that one too which will be fun it just has to cook some more #Anyway I'd like to be able to finish all of them at least eventually #don't really have a good sense of how long anything will take me these days though so this is how we find out #feel free to ask me more about any of these i'm kinda just sitting alone in the dark with all of it now haha
