The first part of Metal and Magic’s update is here! Albeit a little late. But it’s here, and that’s all that matters.
I’m still planning on getting another part out in Feb, but whether I stick to the friday plan, I’ll have to see.
Progress on the first part of the ruins is going well, though I will be pushing the release to Sunday, rather than today. While I do have something ready to share, I’d much rather have everything finalized and looking as good as possible. Once again, sorry for the short delay.
Wow! A new year. Amazing. May it bring forward a lot better things than the last. Well, anyway, let’s talk MnM, right under the cut.
QnA
So, didn’t really get too many Questions, but I can still answer the ones I got here.
“Are you from spain?”
I’ve gotten this question a bit ever since confirming that Valor is from there. The short answer is no, I’m not. I just thought that Spain would be a nice place for Valor to be from, considering the headcanons on where Mt. Ebott is in the real world, as well as the history Spain has with Football. I’m sorry if anyone got excited about me potentially being from Spain.
“I've noticed a recurring musical motif in your Waterfall tracks on Soundcloud, is that for a specific character or just a story theme in general? (Sorry if this is a spoiler)”
Nice ear! Yes, there is an original motif in the Waterfall tracks that reference an unrevealed song. However, it’s not a song about a character, rather, it’s for a place that I’d rather not reveal yet. One of the songs already uploaded for Waterfall is for an unrevealed character, however.
”What is that thing in the background?”
This was in reference to this post. You would have met whatever that is in the very next part. And speaking of the comic-
”Not want to bother you, but dude, the comic will continue someday?”
“when is the next part going to come out”
”etc.”
The story of Metal and Magic will continue! Relatively soon, even. But maybe not in the way you’re expecting.
Progress?
In terms of story planning, that’s pretty much done for the rest of this area, and I have a good idea of key scenes moving forward. Assets for the next part have been in progress, and I’m good on songs for quite a while. So, you may then ask, why hasn’t the comic updated? Well, that’s because I have a bigger thing to announce, which may or may not excite people:
Metal and Magic is being (semi) rebooted!
In terms of actual content, most of it will remain the same. At least, in terms of the most recent parts. However, the Ruins will recieve a complete overhaul, and hopefully make them much more interesting for new viewers. Sprites will overall be nicer, some slight edits to the script in later parts will occur as well. But the biggest change will be in terms of the medium that it’ll be in. Instead...
It’ll be in video format! (the above gif is just a test of the engine)
Thanks to a few good friends of mine, I’ll be able to tell the story of Metal and Magic through episodic videos on YouTube, similar to a let’s play, just without the person commentating over it, and the fact that this isn’t a real game. The videos will be a lot longer than the parts shown off in the comic (the Ruins will likely be two episodes instead of the Comic’s four parts)
Now, I plan on releasing the episodes monthy, with each one being uploaded on the last friday of the month. With this schedule in place, I’d expect the videos to be caught up to the comic before summer. (At least, here’s to hoping.)
So, that’s about it for this! I hope this makes up for the less than stellar wait. I’ll be sure to post small updates between big releases to tide people over. Just be sure to follow my Youtube, as that’s where the content will be uploaded.
Thanks for sticking around!

Howdy all, it’s PineWSun! To all followers of Metal and Magic: Good news! The hiatus will be ending (somewhat) soon! In fact, I have some big ideas I would like to share with you all about it. But, I plan on releasing those as well as an announcement on January 1st, 2021. So, we’ve got a little time before then.
I’d like to do a little QnA as a part of the announcement, so if you have any questions, I’d love to answer them! Just send in any question my way before the 1st, and I’ll be sure to answer them. Now, I will not answer any questions that are spoilers, and in-character questions won’t be included. This’ll just be questions to me, PineWSun. There are already a few questions in the inbox that I’ve been waiting to respond to, so I’ll be sure to include those as well.
Lastly, I’m sorry that it’s taken so long to actually talk here. I’m very ambitious, as well as super critical of myself. I kinda felt like if I didn’t have something major to show, people would be disappointed. But, I’ve dispelled that fear (at least a little bit) for now. Ideally the fun QnA as well as the plan for the new year will be nice, as well as my announcement. But, overall, I’m just glad that so many of you have sticked around regardless of a lack of content. Thank you.
Happy Holidays, everyone! Send those questions in, and I’ll talk to you again in 2021!

It has been a year since the previous ChristmAUs, and this year, it comes bigger than ever before! Featuring a staggering 224 characters (not counting most snowmen), this has been one of the biggest collaborative projects I’ve ever done!
However, I of course didn’t do this picture alone, so let us move into giving people their credits.
(Adding it as an addendum, do not repost the picture by itself.)
Now, the credits are arranged in “submissioner / AU” instead of the usual merely crediting the artist or AU. Here we go!

Merry Christmas! (also do the robots celebrate christmas?)
Thank you! Merry (Late) Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you!
And while none of the robots may celebrate a traditional Christmas, it is customary to spend a lot of money on gifts for Gyftmas. So, in a way, they do!
(Oh and non character asks are still open through the Hiatus)

just a small tip but really long images like this should be spliced up into multiple ones
the one you submitted was hit by the tumblr compression and was near impossible to tell who was who, so i had to splice it up myself in order to actually tell what the artwork is
anyway
i appreciate the artwork and the enthusiasm you have
While this was originally submitted to the Rupturedtale blog, it does contain some neat MnM fan content, so I’ll be doing a little reboot of it here. Nice work, fella!
You may be wondering why am I posting this now that the UT anniversary is almost over. In reality, I only now have finished this picture, however, now that the sun is finally setting, and the craze over UT switch has calmed a bit, and before going over to list every AU in here… I wanted to take a moment to talk about what this picture represents to me.
It’s been 3 years ever since UT launched now, and when I look back, I still wonder what circumstances led me to join it’s fandom. It’s somewhat blurry, honestly, I remember meeting some artists in deviant art, and they made me join a Discord server. And from there, I have gone through many servers, all of them filled with people, with their own little stories to each.
I have seen stories unfold, I have shared stories, and I have seen stories start, and I made friendships with those people, some of which have become my closest friends ever. Most of them share something in common, however; They all had or have a AU of their own, and each of them reflected the person who created them in one way or another.
And I put these AUs in AU Crossfire because of what they mean to me, a friendship, a proof that roles don’t dictate a AU, and even more. At the end of the day, I just love every bit of the stories. And to the people behind them, I try to show my gratitude towards them for entertaining or teaching me how to become a better artist but most importantly, a person.
I maybe rambling a bit, but the point is: Thank you all for being such good people, and I hope we can continue to create more stories, together.
