Schedules and stories

Hey y’all! It’s been a good 4 days since the last post, and I thought it would be good to leave an update on how things are going!

I’ve set a goal to provide updates for Summer Thaw’s development once a week! The update schedule will be every Saturday! However, school is looming around the corner again, and life may get in the way of things (like studies, homework, and extra-curricular obligations…).

Nothing is stopping me from trying though!

By the way, on the writing side of things, chapter 1 of the story is undergoing final revisions! By the time it’s done, all that’s left to do is finalize the concept art/illustrations, and then we’re good to go!

Speaking of art…

Character reveal!

Time to meet the protagonist! He’ll be your friend from thick and thin, and will always try to help you out in any way he can 😀

Meet Jacob Lastimodo, a 20 year old small (5’4) wolf. With an aloof and gentle personality, Jacob is laid-back and casual when it comes to problems. Due to his baby face and small stature, others may underestimate him. He values his friends greatly, and would do anything to help them. Aside from his loyalty, another defining factor of Jacob is his eye for art. In fact, he has even taken drawing as a hobby for himself!

If you’ve been following my art for a while now, you’d remember his little guy in some art I’ve posted!

As a bonus, here’s a turnaround shot of Jacob and his colors. Take it as a reference sheet!

Anyway, any thoughts and comments (and suggestions?). Please let me know!

Till the next update!

First of all, welcome to the blog! Its small and simple so far, but I hope you’ll stick around for the ride.

This is a first peek at one of the settings in the world of Summer Thaw. Its a small room, built for one student and his student needs. His window provides a wonderful view of the cliff, and the sun provides beautiful natural light for his humble abode.

Though, perhaps it may add to his disadvantage as it could make his bed uncomfortably hot 😦

Next one up is at the edge of a cliff. It provides a closer view of the wonderful scenery. Its an empty lot basically, but everyone has its own use for it! We really need more green spaces in real life though. Honestly, pretty happy about how the colors here turned out.

Lastly, is a simple school building. Its a small grade school established by the town university, and it even has volunteer students from that university helping out! Out of all the three sets of color passes, this is the one that really came out wonderful. The atmosphere especially in the lower left color pass knocked my socks off after taking a step back.

By the way, these are also one of the first color passes I’ve done! I’ll get things better slowly by slowly now, but so far, its so good.

Here’s to Summer Thaw, and all the stories in its pages!
