Saturday Update!
🕑 Added 2023-09-16 17:33:41 +0000 UTCHello again people! I hope you're doing well!
Last week was a bit exhausting, I worked on Sunday when I shouldn't have and social media was pretty rough [ a lot of people had negative opinions about my strade sprite color experiment and it got to me because I was tired ^^; ]
BUT I still think I got a fair bit of work done. Actually, I think it may be time for another illustrative progress graphic, because I think these placeholders are going to take longer than I originally expected.
I'm not terribly worried about them taking longer though- the reason they are is because I'm drawing them a lot more solidly than my placeholders in previous games. These can actually act pretty much as base sketches for final sprites [ although I will likely make adjustments ].
I think this approach is working out really well! It's giving me a chance to really practice drawing him before I even start the final art. I think it will have a positive effect on the final product :D
Here's some examples of some placeholders I made last week :)
Also, I've made some minor changes to the standing sprite base design after considering the feedback I got. Nothing too major, but just fixing up his silhouette pretty much!
Thicker arms and legs to fit his physique better, and loosening up the hair in the back. Giving him less of a pear shape and more of the brick shape I intended haha!
Anyway, that's about all I have for now- next week will be more of the same, just creating more placeholder sketches and filling out the game :)
OH I FORGOT ONE THING!
I got my new strade patches in the mail!
I'm quite happy with the quality!
I hope to have them in the shop by Monday, but it might be a little later. I'm waiting for my packaging for them to arrive. They will definitely be available to buy for 15CAD/~11.10USD sometime next week!
And I want to thank you guys for supporting me and helping me get through tough times and sticking up for me when I got a wave of negativity about the strade sprite design- so I'm making a 30% off code for these patches just for Patreon members!
For the first month they're available, you can use the code:

To get 30% off on the strade patches. Please don't share this code outside Patreon- it's just for you guys! <3
Thank you guys so much for your support. It really does mean so much to me. I won't let you down!

I’m really happy with the character updates! I feel like strade is more canonically accurate now? If in his updated story it’s included that he still enjoys drinking sometimes then a little beer gut (and thiccness 👀) would make more sense. I am loving skrunkly strade!
