Hey chupamigos,

On the chupa website we're running a poll to help Tex decide what to do at the end of this chapter. You can go straight to the strawpoll here and cast a vote!

'eyyyy I animated some chupathingys again.

How's everyone doin'? We're half-way through 2020, guys.

Hi chupamigos!

From this chapter of the r[E]volution comic through the finale, I'm looking for background extras. These characters will hang out in the background (meaning they won't have any dialogue), but if you'd like to pitch in a character to appear on one of the pages*, please let me know!

Submit your OC to my inbox on FurAffinity or e-mail (raemyshu@gmail.com). Info should include:
- species/race (chupas or bats ONLY)
- affiliation (army, freelancer, omegite, civilian, rebel)
- any physical description or reference art
- one character only

Thanks to everyone for reading the comic and participating!

-shu



*and possibly get mauled by werewolves

I'm happy to report that the comic has reached the end of chapter 10! I'm really excited for chapter 11 and the plot ahead, since it's really going to start ramping up (I hope everyone likes Freelancers.)

 lady_vossler has re-joined the comic team as a colorist, which is more good news! LV has helped me out plenty with the comic and chupa community in the past, and they're one of my favorite chupapologists to work with.

In-between chapters 10 and 11, Doc is answering a few questions! You can submit questions on the website or on the chupatime Discord server.

Thanks again to everyone for following the comic and showing your support!

Hi chupamigos~
December 2018 makes eight whole years of chupathingys. That's pretty amazing!
For 2019 I'm more committed than ever to completing r[E]volution's story, so I'd like you guys to help me decide how to go about it.

HERE'S THE POLL
I'll break down the options:

1. Continue producing the comic as-is
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," they say. All I would have to do is double-down on comic work and do nothing else (that means no more "Ask Docs" or gifs, etc.)

2. Continue the comic in a reduced style
Comics...! But faster, and messier. Imagine the style for "Ask Doc" but with a little more polish. Rather like this, actually:
The obvious benefit is that THIS IS THE FASTEST OPTION, by far. If you don't mind this sketchy thumbnail-style, this is a pick for you.

3. Go back to producing the video game
For those unfamiliar, we have a chupa RPG (created in RMMV) on the website. It's just been updated to version 0.5 thanks to the tremendous work of  aurovee and you can download the new demo here:

CHUPA GAME DOWNLOAD
(Windows version - Mac version available upon request)

So, there's lot of fun things to be said about a game project. The possibilities are practically endless. The DRAWBACK is that not everybody has the time, technology or inclination to play a video game, so that reduces the audience for this. It's possible to record and upload gameplay videos (chapter-by-chapter, even) to make up for that, but that would be that.

4. Make a game, but in a reduced format (visual novel)
If you've ever played (or watched) a visual novel, you know what this is about. It would still be a game project, just without the map exploration. Progress would be driven by dialogue and character portraits in front of nice backgrounds. Being a game, this still leaves a lot of room for branching paths and player choices, so it could be really fun, and take much less time to produce than the above option. Also, like the above option, it's possible to record and upload gameplay videos.

5. Make a video series (animatic style)
This one's the wildcard:

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

So far, the time it takes to produce a scene like this is roughly the same as it does a regular comic update. Time spent being equal, this option does have bonus backwards-compatibility by taking the raw frames and cutting them into comics, as well. It also opens the door to some outside help with sound design, if anyone's interested in that...? I always welcome new chupapologists, heh.

I'm equally invested in all these ideas--they EACH sound fun, and have their own unique drawbacks and challenges. Really, at the end of the day/month/year, my goal is to share r[E]volution's story. I'm not particular on the art medium, which is why I leave it to y'all to decide. WHATEVER IS CHOSEN, the other options will be archived and never returned to again.
(And for the 1% looking for more Phoenix Chronicles, you're going to want to vote for the FASTER options, because I won't be going back to TPC until chupa stuff is off my plate.)

And finally, let me say... For those of y'all still here, thank you. You guys amaze me all the time. I've always appreciated your support, feedback and community.
Cheers to a chupariffic 2019~

Hi guys~
Been a while since I journal'd. Figured it would be a nice to clear the old one off my front page.

I'm very happy to reach the end of chapter 9 in the comic! It had a few scenes that I was looking forward to drawing off the script (especially that last page, RIP Grif.) It also means I can try new things, going into chapter 10. We'll see how that goes.

By the way, if you haven't visited the chupa website before, it's got some neat stuff. Doc answers people's questions, there's a collection of fanart, and even a breed quiz, all thanks to my chupamigos and chupapologists.

I don't like doing commissions, per se, but I am considering doing commission streams, where I take $10 a pop to draw one-hour live commishes. If anybody's interested in watching or chipping in to something like that, let me know and I'll figure out a good time~

I normally dislike drawing commissions because it's time taken away from comics and project-work... but! I'm going to RTX in a couple of weeks, and I'm already too broke to pay rent, so you gotta do what you gotta do.

However, to make things interesting this time, I'm going to try something new, and offer animations!

- clean lines and colors (no shading)

Hiya guys~
If you're on Discord, we got a server for all my chupa-pals. Y'all can hang with us anytime!

Hi guys, I finally finished that chupa animation I was working on!

Now I can get back to work on some comics, phew.
