New webcomic update! You can read it here: https://www.pv02comic.com/
ALSO! My new storefront is live! It's a little underpopulated at the moment, but I'll have more products coming soon.

For now, if you're still interested in getting my stickers, you can find them on my Redbubble. Though eventually I'll be able to sell em through Crowdmade as well!

I'm gonna do an update video for YT soon, and I have another tablet coming to review which'll be going in that. I've got a lot of scattered projects in progress at the moment so largely I'm trying to find my stride again.

So, my next animation project is PV02 related, which you can check out the webcomic here: https://www.pv02comic.com/
I've recently thumbnailed the next 11 updates, which lead up to the animation itself. On a 2 week release schedule, this means I have about 22 weeks til the animation will need to be ready, which is plenty of time for me. Realizing how much time I have has been a huge relief on my stress; before I was thinking I had like, 2 months to get everything done.
SO! I'm excited. I have some big plans for the comic and story. I plan on an approach that makes it accessible to new readers too. When the first animation released, despite a disclaimer that it was part of the webcomic, there were still people responding as if it were a standalone thing. Hopefully I can prevent that this time.

Thank you for the reception Hiro the Dense 2's gotten! I'm honored for the feedback and love.
Just a fun bit of history:
The first one was largely based off of a post I found screenshotted from one of the chans. I had altered a lot of it myself, but a few of the gags and jokes were still adapted from there. Fun fact: the original actually had the 'Demon Lord' a sassy teenaged girl. Other parts of it included the protagonist just being reluctant / dodging the question, rather than being too dense to figure out what's going on. But I couldn't take credit for the gag of "DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT I AM!?" "Uh... Angry?" "YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I'M ANGRY!"
However, the second one is otherwise totally my writing. All the gags + how to integrate them were my own design, so hearing that a lot of people thought the second one was even funnier than the first is a huge compliment to me. I was also able to learn a few new tricks: the vine animations for instance? Those are totally tweened, and I'm super proud of them.
The only thing I wish was that I could've extended the animation somehow to get 1 extra minute. Hitting the 10 minute mark would've seriously helped its standing on youtube, but I don't like padding my content unnecessarily.
I've been debating whether or not to make a third one. I do want to and I do have ideas, it's just they'd be bigger than what I've made so far. I also have other things I need to make sure I get done. It'll all depend on how this one fairs. (For the record I do have a script in its first draft, but it's like 14 pages long at the moment. Twice the length of the second.)
Originally I had planned to release Hiro 2 to Newgrounds the day I streamed a live viewing, but the streaming side of Youtube was down and broken that day. That entire thing was a mess, so instead I opted to just release it the same day as Youtube. I didn't want to delay it further, so that honestly was the best thing I could do.
Anyway, I'm finally off my vacation, so my webcomic should be back underway in a bit, and more art and the like should be coming soon. I have a lot of Patreon rewards to get caught up on.

HIRO THE DENSE 2 IS COMPLETED!
Newgrounds will be getting a day-early premier, after a livestream + viewing on Youtube! Then Friday the youtube version will go public. The stream will be up at https://youtu.be/LTqJ5-LOTZs
Be sure to give me a follow on Twitter to guarantee you see the announcement when I go live. https://twitter.com/Zedrinbot
Also, PV02 has its final update of this chapter come Sunday! You can read the comic here: https://www.pv02comic.com/
After this there'll be a brief break from the comic, especially since at the moment I have someone visiting me. Art and stuff until then is gonna be a bit sparse!

New comic update!
Meanwhile: Audio for Hiro the Dense 2 is stitched together, ready for lipsynching! There's only a little more to do before release!
Once that's done, then I hand it off to Strelok for the audio processing and SFX while I handle the VFX post processing and things like the credits. Hoping to have it ready by the end of this month!

Totally forgot to post about this. New comic update! https://www.pv02comic.com/
Meanwhile, Hiro 2's core animation is done. Need to do backgrounds, audio compiling, and lipsynching, and then some spit and polish and it'll be good to go!!
Also, if you're not yet, you should give me a follow on Twitter. https://twitter.com/Zedrinbot Find out when I'm streaming and stuff.

It's the 2 week mark, so there's a new comic update! https://www.pv02comic.com/
Meanwhile Hiro the Dense 2 is on its way! Most of the base animation's one and (after like 6 months of animating and working on it) I finally have the lines finalized for the intro, so now I have my VAs recording for it!
I'm very happy with the script. As usual I stream on Saturdays to Youtube if you want to see work in progress: https://www.youtube.com/zombiezephyr
This has been a big milestone week for me as well. Hit the 10k and 20k follower milestones on my sfw and nsfw twitters respectively.
I feel like I also ought to start a new big NSFW project but I don't want to force any ideas. I've already got a lot on my plate however.

In other news, I got a new tablet! I received it for review purposes, and I'm liking it a lot, enough that I actually replaced my Intuos 4 XL. It's a Gaomon PD 1560. I'll have a video going up on Youtube for it, probably by the end of this week.
Everything else is pretty much the same as last time: still working on Hiro 2, being careful to not bring back my RSI, etc.
