Update #2 (Current projects, backlog, and comics.)
a year ago
Hello all! I’ve got various quick updates here.
Backlog To Post:
I’ve recently remembered I have a bit of a backlog of old work to post. I’m looking at 9 images here currently, most are smaller works or sketches though. At this point some of it is old enough that I’ve considered not posting it, but that feels wrong so I’m going to post it anyway. Some of it was made back in 2022 and before. Thought I’d give a heads up on that because it’s going to mess with my gallery timeline and that bothers me haha. I’ll be sure to say when it was made in each post.
Just a note that last year I moved around stuff in my gallery, moved some stuff to scraps (but I’m about to move some stuff back), and marked some stuff as mature. Basically, anything remotely "suggestive” I’ve been marking as mature here since that’s really the only way to have stuff hidden from guests. Going forward this is how I’m going to be doing things. (And side note, just because I mark it as mature doesn’t mean that I personally think it is suggestive. It only means that I think some people might perceive it that way.
Social Media Sites:
I have mentioned it before, but I’ve been cutting down the social media profiles I use. Active sites are in my bio of my FA page. I’m no longer going to post on insta and have started a Cara account. I have begrudgingly resumed posting on Twitter too. You can find me on: FA, titusw.net, IB, Cara, Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Patreon. The sites I’m most active on is FurAffinity and Bluesky.
Current Focus - New Ref Sheets:
When I was planning the concept art to do for the main comic, I realized I should probably do all the character concepts before the Prologue comic so I can finalize their designs. I made a new ref sheet template and have about 16 OCs worth of ref sheets to make. A few of them (mostly the main cast) will have multiple clothing variants. These ref sheets are for my use when working on the main comic, but I will be posting all the ref sheets unlike most of the other concept art. All their info on the sheet templates is filled out now I just have to finalize their designs and draw the characters (line art and flat colors). It’s looking like it will be at least weeks or months until I finish them all, so I wanted to give a heads up on what I’m working on haha. Once the ref sheets are done, I will resume work on the prologue comic and probably smaller side sketches like the one I posted a couple weeks ago.
Comic Updates and Process:
The Taria: Prologue script is done, and the page layouts have begun. (Wow, having a fully finished script makes such a massive difference in making the page layouts haha.) I’ve also finalized the workflow and drawing process for the comic so the appearance will vary as little as I can control. I will be going back and “remastering” the pages I have already done so the style is the same across all the Prologue comic (the lettering has already been re-made.) Mostly doing this in case I decide to print it with the main comic later. The Prologue will come in around 35 pages long. (Warning ahead of time, it’s pretty exposition-heavy :P )
As I work on the Prologue I will be finishing up the script on the main comic. When the Prologue is complete, I will evaluate how I enjoyed working on it. Think of the Prologue as a trial run. If I hated making it, I will likely not continue onto making the main comic if I can’t salvage it somehow. If I decide to move forward, I will begin posting the Prologue pages weekly as I finish the concept art for the main comic, then the main comic’s art after that. There would be a gap between when all the Prologue pages are posted and the main comic’s pages begin, as I have lots of things to do between them.
Miscellaneous Projects:
Side note. Along with the concept art I also have quite a few of other assets to make along with the main comic. Banners, profile pictures, logos, etc. I will also be making a new website for the webcomic. (The places the comic will be posted are likely few. My site TariaComic.com, FurAffinity, Webtoons, and Tapas are the currently planned sites.) All this side stuff will take time, but I’m saving it for after the Prologue comic is completed… just in case I decide I hate making comics after the Prologue :P I don’t intend to do many standalone illustrations when I’m working on the comics. Likely going to be doing random side sketches which will occasionally get colored.
That is all for now! Thanks for reading!
