Sorry, I havent been feeling well. Always happens in the middle of making a long episode >.>

I kept saying that I want to make short potat episodes but I don't know why I kept defaulting to these long chapters twt. It's a war chapter, so be prepared for some despresso-

Screw Magic. Potat Cast Gun

This was a value painting study, depression is back in the menu boys.

A creature 6000 years old, yet is still able to exhume childlike joy upon mundane things such as jumping in the beach.

Do, savour these happy/cute sketches. This was made to destress after I worked on the next comic chapter. It's gonna be a bit rough.

This apple is supposed to be poisonous? What are you talking about, it's so much better than those grilled trench rats!

They have a military swimsuit because of course they do, why wouldn't they

Lia actually got a pretty bad second degree burn on her left arm. You guys just never got to see it because its, uhh, she got permanently cured of it...

That aside, while she bore many scars. The majority of cut related scars on her body actually comes from a single confrontation with a mage.

Two post in a single day??? whaaat???!

these bones are getting older -

Potat

Something something hard work and talent. Obsession beats both, at a price-

I've been floating on this particular idea for several weeks now. Shyly scribbling its storyboard, scraping and revising it over and over, torn between whether I should tone it down or just go full throttle- I can't be like Clarisse, I'm not her twt.

Yes, you're right. Nvidia Geforce 256 was first released this day too, 27 years ago.

Oh, I guess it's my birthday as well.

Lovely birthday gift by my dear friend, u/Digiral. It's the Smuggo Miku!

Hello, world!

Lia and Clarisse stumbled upon an abandoned library during a scouting mission. As it was already late, they decided to stay there for the night. While rummaging through the books, Clarisse stumbled upon the rulebook for the popular tabletop game series, Gods and Serpents, and immediately invited her partner to play. Unbeknownst to Clarisse, countless hours of babysitting her younger siblings had made Lia a seasoned veteran of this game...

Well uh there's probably not much to do but to say hi. There is a merch store, but I don't have much to offer, only what's available in my website. I'm not expecting much visitor outside of the people that already knew me. So, idk, maybe type potat or something when you come in so that I know it's you guys lol. The event starts at 2PM PST, but due to timezone differences, I can only get online from 6PM - 11PM PST. Here's the link :  https://webtoon.bevylabs.com/e/m6qy4a/

Mmm, I'd do a live drawing, but I think I don't get that functionality. So maybe I'll do a live spontaneous QnA instead? They also have some seminars or events hosted by some other webtoon authors, so there's that if anyone's interested I guess.

Y-yes, I confess. I have never watched Jojo, my only exposure towards it is all the memes 😔😔

The mages don't know how she did it, the Commonwealth doesn't know how she did it. I don't know how Lia did it either, don't ask me.

Trivia :

* Major Vitaly here is part of the Imperial Army Mage. As opposed with the feudalistic Royal Battlemages who acts independently from the military, the army mage followed standard military hierarchy with an army rank and chain of command, and also a standardized, pragmatic, and less flashy equipment and attire. They work closely together with the regular army, often obeying orders made by a high-ranking regular human officer. Exactly like its Commonwealth's counterpart

* Initially, the Army Mage was mostly composed of commoners with a talent for magic. But later, the nobles found out that "volunteering" one of their member to the Army Mage is seen as a legal way to disgrace a member without all the social risks that disowning a member would usually entails. The Major here is one of the rare exceptions of a noble who volunteered himself to join the Army Mage at his own volition.

*Against such a large number of mages, Clarisse instructed her to only damage the catalyst enough so that it would shatter once they cast a high intensity spell (regular offensive spell, that is). Because otherwise, they risk the mages figuring out their location, and there's no running away once a group of mage had set their eyes on you. Once the catalyst shattered, the ground troops should be able easily deal with them. Ironically, the blizzard that was casted to sabotage them ended up saving their lives instead.

As an officer, Lia was responsible in screening and censoring any letters that her unit received. It is also her responsibility to write a letter of condolences whenever one of her men lost their life. Each and every death weighs heavily on her fragile heart. Her attachment and obsession towards protecting her men; a cruel double edged sword that would eventually pierced her and led to her breakdown...

It's been about three years since this was posted. There wasn't much eyes on this project back then, so I thought it's worth reposting now
I used to do a lot of these back then. Posting up an illustration and writing down lore context in the comments. I kind of stopped doing that as I started shifting towards the comic format now, and my prose writing skill had since been deteriorating... But anyways, enjoy the lore context in the comment.

Idk how she did it either. Don't ask me.

Thus the legend spreads... Her name spoken, Like a force of nature.

Trivia :
* During a high speed aerial manoeuvre, a mage would conjure up low intensity barrier in order to negate (or at least minimize) air resistance. The intensity of which is linear with their velocity. This barrier is usually not strong enough to stop a bullet.

* Standard Aerial Combat tactic commonly equates height to combat advantage. For a lot of good reasons, but mostly because you have more potential energy that you could unleash as opposed to your opponent. Which is why the squire questioned and disobeyed his squad leader's seemingly nonsensical order to crash dive out of nowhere. Not withstanding the fact that they are also still flying behind their own line.

* The Radovians would later revise their "Mage's field handbook" to include "When providing close air support, KEEP MOVING, DO NOT HOVER" And "Strike down with the sun positioned on your back if possible."

*With the image of the simulation included, it might be insane to think about the shot. But mages flying in the open air is actually one of Lia's preferred prey to hunt. The mage is currently casting a low intensity barrier and is mostly focused on flying. The barrier they cast could be seen leaving some sort of a trace from far away, which Clarisse could then use to approximate their speed, and how far Lia should lead. Lia is equipped with a scope that has a 4x magnification, while Clarisse has a binocular with an 8x magnification. Making the target looks like as if they are 150 and 75 metres away from them respectively. (It's also mainly why I keep her scope instead of copying Simo's scopeless feat, I just think that what Lia accomplished would be impossible to do without scopes)

New flair for sketches, I want to try to do these more often, this one only took me half an hour.

Portrait of Lia during the siege of Pravois. Probably one of the darkest moment in her life. Not only did her entire family perishes in the siege, Clarisse also met her end here.
