short update

I have scheduled all Pure Light comic posts for the next few months. There will be two updates per week for a while. Grisly Tales is well underway too. End of April/beginning of May deadline is still on.After that I'm flying back into the remaster. If I work hard there will be no break in posts....

Pure Light chapter 03 - 01

As of the time of this writing, I have finished 15 pages of chapter 3. The others are still in some stage of development. I expect to be able to return to working on remastered pages in May. I will likely have enough works left to upload until then.The first few pages of chapter 3 are my least favor...

Pure Light chapter 02 - 39

Definitely looks like serious business now.

Pure Light chapter 02 - 40

Double update because technically you've likely already seen this page in the remaster announcement. This is where we end with chapter 2 for now. But we'll continue right on to chapter 3 in a few days. Thank you for the support so far, I really appreciate it! I hope you'll stick around f...

Pure Light chapter 02 - 38

This and the next few pages had the most dramatic overhaul in the second half of the chapter. A full change in color palette and tone. For the better, I'd say. A few perspective fixes, improved distance perception and contrast, and you got yourself a nice new page. I'm honestly quite happy w...

End of January update and plans for the coming months

Hello everyone!I think it's time for another overview of local happenings. But first, thank you all again for your continued support for my comic endeavors! I'm very grateful for your interest and generosity!I hope you've been enjoying the Pure Light remaster so far. I'm especially l...

Pure Light chapter 02 - 37

Definitely one of the most satisfying moments of the comic, I'd say.

Pure Light chapter 02 - 36

Ah, and there we have Moneybags. Another classic Spyro npc. One of the most fun aspects of PL was to have this new set of characters, who all have their own stories and live in a new world, interact with the old, familiar cast. Even though most of them come with their own PL-twist. There's just ...

Pure Light chapter 02 - 35

Ember, oh Ember. What to make of you. I've always felt a bit conflicted over Spyro's version of Amy Rose. Ridiculous, considering she's an unimportant, forgotten npc with maybe 3 lines of dialogue. It's all thanks to the fandom that she's so popular.Back in the day, I was a bit a...

Pure Light chapter 02 - 34

I can't add much commentary here as the pages speak for themselves.In other news, I've recently started putting all my efforts into finishing Grisly Tales part 1. Since the deadline for that was and still is June of this year. If I can follow the lenient schedule I made for it, it should be ...

Pure Light chapter 02 - 33

Yeah, so back when I first drew PL pages, I had a tendency to do these 'double joke' panels where the punchline was only a small change in expression. So I didn't have to draw the second panel traditionally and would just copy paste it. It's not a very advisable way of working as it&...

Pure Light chapter 02 - 32

Black silhouettes are so much better.

Pure Light chapter 02 - 31

This is where the remaster really begins to look fresh. No more bland, washed out colors.I think one of the aspects I liked the most about Pure Light, and what made it unique, are the crowds. Even though the different fantasy creatures didn't play an important role to the main story, they're...

Pure Light chapter 02 - 30

I apologize for the delay on this upload. I had forgotten to add gold vfx to this page and only did so today. I'll see to getting a regular schedule for the next pages.Anyway, medusa is as fancy as ever. Though Chimero will always be my favorite of the main darker trio. RIP chimmy changa.

Pure Light chapter 02 - 29

Though it isn't immediately obvious, increasing focus is a big part of remastering these pages. I need the reader's eye to immediately jump the most important part of each frame. I do so by zooming in more, increasing contrast and saturation where I want the viewer's eye to go, which is ...

Pure Light chapter 02 - 28

Despite the VFX having aged here, I actually still quite like this particular page. The elements shown here are each distinctive and the motion feels smooth.

End of month billing will continue again

Hello!Since I am uploading regularly again, I would like to resume regular monetization of this account. Though this is not what you signed up for originally, I implore you to stay. I've said it before but the remaster of Pure light chapter 3 is slowly turning into a full on remake. It looks so ...

Pure Light chapter 02 - 27

This page is...unfortunate. Even as a remaster there's little to salvage. I added a bit more lineart and fixed the resolution inconsistency. But this one is just not worth spending more time on. I put the saved hours into action scenes instead.

Pure Light chapter 02 - 26

I finally colored in the characters. 8 years late but here you go.

Pure Light chapter 02 - 25

"So that's why they call you a digger. You dig."I use these uploads to talk about different things that came to mind while working on the remaster. One is the removal of the word "digger"Long ago, when Pure light was fresh and new and the internet hadn't been completely ruine...

Pure Light chapter 02 - 24

Double update, since page 23 is not very exciting.

Pure Light chapter 02 - 23

Pure Light chapter 02 - 22

Burner's design took the longest to stabilize. It's only by page 77 of the comic that his design stops changing. For the faces, I have to change almost every single panel. Mainly the eyes. Because those bothered me the most. If your eyes look good, you can get away with a lot of anatomical e...

Pure Light chapter 02 - 21

Jumping straight into the madness.As you can see, we immediately skipped 20 pages. That is because I am still deciding on whether or not to redraw those from scratch. You see, I am also currently writing the ending of Pure Light. We have a new ending from the one years ago because that one was... ba...

Be still, my heart

I love and miss them so.Thank you for the feedback on my suggestion. I'll re-activate the Patreon again next month and will be uploading Pure Light-related content until that project comes to an end. After that, it's straight back to Sunmakers where I belong.But if you stick around in the me...

A suggestion

hello there!It's been another few quiet months for Sunmakers. And it doesn't seem like there will come an end to that soon. In order to not let this Patreon collect more dust, I have a suggestion.You see, I have been working on 2 different projects. One is obviously Grisly Tales. And the oth...

September news update

Hello!I haven't done any updates for a few months to let you know what I've been working on. Mostly because progress has been slow. But slow doesn't mean none at all.First and foremost; Empyreans.Before the update, they were pretty mishmashed as a group. A lot of them didn't look lik...

Good news and bad news

Hello there!Another month has passed and it's time for an update as to what I have been up to.The good news is that I have finished sketching all of Sunmakers episode 1. Not including the ones that are already available, there will be 63 pages. (so 93 for the full episode) I have plans to print ...

monthly update

Hello everyone!I just wanted to drop by to show a glimpse of my progress after 2 months of hard work. Sadly I didn't make my end of march deadline due to having been sick with covid. So there are 2 issues out of 15 left unsketched. Once I have sketched everything, I can finally start finishing t...
