hi everyone, i'm really sorry i wasnt able to update nsotf in june 😔 to put it simply my offline work unexpectedly got really busy + im still recovering from some health things that knocked me on my ass a while ago

i appreciate everyone's patience more than i can express; i really wanted to get this chapter out for june and i feel not great about missing it. i think it'll be worth the wait but i'm sorry that it's taken so long

[nextsoundofthefuture]

it was said that the next update would probably be in june back in april, what's happening now? is everything okay?

i am still really hoping chapter 20 can be posted in june but it may not be until the 24th... i'll let you know in advance and draw something else if i can't make it 🚶‍♀️ really sorry for the wait!!!! thank you for your patience!!!!!

regarding the ask on unofficial merch, is it fine if i were to theoretically buy or make something custom just for myself, not to sell?

sure, as long as it isn't for sale that's fine. thank you!

Good day! Apologies for not putting the OOC ask in the sidebar (I tried but could not find it). But! I would like to ask if its okay to make NSTOF merchandise (like prints or stickers or keychains) to sell at a local event in my area (I’m someone who likes to be sure that this sort of thing is allowed before I do it haha.) ..I’m aware its okay for Vimalion designs but im not sure if its okay for your webcomic. …Thank you for your time, truly!

thank you for asking! i'd actually prefer it if people didn't make nsotf merchandise, as i'm pretty strict in never wanting to make money off of this series, so i'd prefer to avoid the optics of having Any fan-made merchandise out there. but i'm fine with people selling merchandise of their own OCs, just not selling merchandise of the comic characters. thank you for understanding!

i read next!!! sound of the future for miku day and it was so cool i had to make my own rin-len set heehee... design notes under the cut :3

valencia is named after a kind of orange and orinoco is named after a type of banana (and see this is funny because those are rin and len's fruits respectively but since theyre both trans i swapped their signature items for cool names (also vaLENcia and oRINoco !!))

their serial number is 3K10, as in "su-K-to" -> "skate"

i think maybe their producer is american but moved to japan, or is guiding their brand from overseas to introduce skating & shit to japan idk lol

might rework their designs but so far i am happy with this!! i also couldnt be bothered to grab the character sheet assets from the website but they are there so ill probably grab them some other time....
