You've been patiently waiting, and God knows how much your patience has been "tested" during this long period. A year, can you believe it?! Personally I can't, I don't know where this last year has gone. Maybe having a baby made it a bit busier ^^
But the wait is over now!
As for previous chapter, and in order not to make you wait another 6 months to get the complete "volume", it has been decided to split the chapter into 2 parts:
Part 1 218 pages
Part 2 a lot of pages
Just keep in mind that this has been written as a whole chapter, and was supposed to be released as a complete set, not meant to be split.
If some of you want to wait until the full chapter is released, spoil alert!!! Don't read further!
Nah I'm just kidding! I know nobody would ever wait another single minute ;P
As the title of this 9th chapter suggest it, this time we'll learn a lot about the genesis of this saga and how it all started, before coming back to the all out war raging between Hell and Heaven!
In the middle of the chapter, you may (or may not ^^) notice a big jump in terms of quality.
Indeed, and for those who don't know, I broke my piggie to finally got my hand on a brand new machine, which now allows me to use state of the art 3D engine and push the render quality a bit higher for the pleasure of your "eyes" only :P
Do not forget...this comic is free (for the moment)...but above all, contains content which is only suitable for adults 18+ !!! All 3D models in this comic are 18+ years old intended.
Hoping you guys will like this 9th instalment.
Give us some constructive feedback, share your mind, share the love and above all...Enjoy peeps!
First?
ReplyDeleteAnd great cover. Very hyped. Many thanks.

ReplyDeleteAs a fan from China, I got to say, excellent worI...in the perspective of make us wait...haha. Anyway, u know it's 2:30 am in China and there's only one reason could keep me up~ well done, and thx.
ReplyDeleteWhere are you located Shinra-kun?
ReplyDeletefar far away ^^
DeleteHe is always at my doorstep when he needs reviews, but when I'm waiting for new pages, he is nowhere to be found.
DeleteYou can really tell he has much traveling experience!
...Or he is a ninja, lurking in the shadows, always closer to you than you think but making sure you never notice him.
82%?! Weeeee! It's happening. Oh man. It's happening!
ReplyDeleteShinra: you makin' me nervous. You're gonna kill her aren't you? Oh man... Or maybe she will be taken over or posessed by the spider-lady? I kinda was thinking the later would happen.
We will see if I guess right.
Alright peeps here we go, upload is finished!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll like it.
It's passed 6am here. I'm off to bed for a well deserved sleep Zzzzz.
See you in a few hours for the debrief :P
Lots of fun. You know... the art work was really amazing, awesome improvements, absolutely cannot wait to see the other characters. Thanks a lot for the hard work. Very excited for what comes next.
ReplyDeleteWow look who arachnea turned out to be!, Love the dark elf look going for Leto. Cant wait to see her in part 2, the new engine looks so awesome.
ReplyDeleteShinra, that was hell of a good job & totaly worth waiting for. I'm sooooooooooo overhyped for part 2, hopefully it will not take that long as this part :D ! Keep up with this glorious work, and may the gods bless you and all your work. ;)
ReplyDeleteFinally!!! Many many many thanks for your work ;)
ReplyDeleteWell done Shinra! That was quite a twist with Arachnea! Now it's all starting to come together.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you put the first part today, Shinra. And all the pages that i am seeing now are awessssssommmmeeeeee and perfect, thanks very much to you and Mpgrey.
ReplyDeleteShinra, thank you for all your hard work, your comics are top notch.
ReplyDeleteHello Shinra,
ReplyDeleteLong time no seen. I'm going to be short with my review.
Pros: Much better graphics, character development of supporting protagonist and main antagonist and a main story that is more consistent than TFS 8 chapter, which was a beast especially when it came in three parts. Very nice "intro" for the I suppose even larger second part of chapter 9. Excellent and I mean it, superb corruption and especially transformation of Leto. Nice job.
Cons: This will be maybe nitpicking for some fans out there. It would be good to see maybe Arachne side of background story. What we have is one side of the origin story. Nobody saw Leto's mysterious travels in 1000 years. Ok I get that maybe nobody did, but how exactly didn't the Almighty see his disciple go "rogue". And the last: so Morningstar doesn't love Arachne and she hates him. It would be interesting if you could deeper in describing their obviously dynamic and complex relationship.
P.S.: Congrats on becoming a father.
Also nice job mpgrey and HoC on helping and correcting errors in Shinra's work(grammar is top notch after the "uops" chapter 7). And mpgrey continue on with status updates. They prevent people from becoming f5 button smashers XD.
Chapter 9.5/10. Excellent first part.
See you guys.
Current status:
DeleteKicking back and relaxing, enjoying the good life.
Relieved that the chaos, pressure and hurry have passed for a while.
Quick question mpgrey, is Leto's hair always upright?
DeleteThat's not a question I can answer because you now know exactly the same about Leto as I do.
DeleteI personally hope that her hair will start obeying gravity again, but that's just a personal taste.
Same here! I hope it goes down xD
DeleteThanks Legion for your review, I really appreciate it. To answer your question, the "dynamic" between Arachnea and the Devil will be visited in more details ad they're getting closer and closer to each other.
Delete@liebert: Leto's hair will most likely go down as soon as the burst of dark energy coursing through her veins after her transformation has settle down ;)
Nice!
DeleteWow, this was pro, a lot of good work put together. The story was very well developed, a bit slow, but all good. The graphics are significant better, I haven't seen this quality in any other 3D comic out there. I mean not even the MCcomix (which you gotta pay) are nearly close to this quality. Awesome work Shinra! Keep up the good work! Lastly, but not least, the grammar and syntax was spotless. A great wave of applause for the editors! Good work everyone! :) Now, don't take breaks! Keep up the good work on the next parts and give us updates! :)
ReplyDeleteWell Shinra is not called the king of corruption for no reason
DeleteThanks guys.
DeleteI'm still a bit disappointed as e-hentai is downgrading the quality so much when you upload on their website. That's why I'm still hesitating to adopt the full HD resolution as I've used for HC2. I'm already rendering all pics in full HD but downsize them when I lay them out as pages...
ALL HAIL THE KING OF CORRUPTION
ReplyDeleteAwesome job Shinra!
ReplyDeleteIt's so satisfying to see the Devil take action after so long! That sex scene between him and Leto is amazing!
Her lust for him and despair trying not to fall for him was so very well represented, it makes it,that much better when she becomes his at the end.
Thanks a lot for this comic!
My pleasure.
DeleteIt follows a very simple corruption pattern and seems very basic, but I've actually put a lot of thoughts in that corruption scene, so I'm really glad so many of you guys like it :D
Great work and well worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the action in Part 2 later this year/next year. :)
The renders look so good. Can't wait to see how everyone else looks like. When part 2 comes out, it will probably already be the 5th year I'm here, how time flies
ReplyDeleteCan't believe myself I've been doing this for more than 3 years now ^^
DeleteSure does, been here when i first saw your stuff in 2012, can't believe i've been checking back almost everyday for more than a few years too
DeleteI think I'll try to wait until it's all done. Doubt I'll be able to though.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, did you incorporate any of the ideas I gave you long ago when I gave you my e-mail address saying I had some suggestions? I'm wariodude128@hotmail.com and I replied to your message as soon as I got it. If so, awesome! If not, oh well better luck next time.
Hi Peter,
DeleteDon't torture yourself like this, please enjoy the first part ;)
As I was explaining you back then, most of the story had already been written quite a while ago, and as we're getting closer and closer to the end, it leaves me with very little room for change. So to be honest with you, no I haven't used our ideas.
I like to surprise all of you, so I always try to think out of the box to make the story not too predictable ;)
This first part should answer a few of your theories
So don't hesitate to jump on it :P
can't talk, reading, story too good to resist.......
ReplyDeleteThe part I don't like at all is the fact corrupted Leto and Leto doesn't look the same - like you used a different face and so on.
ReplyDeleteyeah
DeleteI can't agree, in my opinion Shinra portrayed her transition from an angel into demon very well. I loved this TF one of my favourite in the entire series. Leto's new haircut looks funny though. Kinda like Frankenstein's bride XD I think she would look better with shorter but ruffled hair now that she is a demoness.
DeleteI love the transformation of Leto. It was my favorite part of the comic. Great job Shinra! Thank you to mpgrey and Hell of a Critic for aiding Shinra. It is an excellent work.
Delete... I am not talking about the transformation.
DeleteI am talking about the fact Leto has a different face after the corruption. She looks like a completely different character.
What i found funny was there were parts her hair was supposed to be down but it was up and vice versa, her corrupted form uses some super strong gel.
DeleteI agree she looks completely different thats because the amount of details put into her corruption was a great deal. We have the ears the eyes even the face marks. But mostly because her hair is upwards that makes it so different. With the new engine lilith hair looks superb, all the details of leto were brought out but i thought her transformation would be related to snakes. Her armor also looks like a modified version of sagas which looks pretty cool.
DeleteHmmm I really have mixed feelings about your comments on Leto looking totally different here >_<
DeleteThe things is that I haven't changed a single polygon of her face for her transformation... this is the exact same 3d model to the polygon. Same goes for the texture. Usually I used a different skin texture before and after transformation, but in this specific case I liked the tint of her original skin and decided to keep it for her TF. All I is removed her fairy make-up and manually painted a more demonic like feature.
This bothers me a little because I've created all the models for TFS a loooong time ago which means that they use aN older technology that doesn't look that good anymore, is a lot less versatile and powerful. It often really annoys me because I would like to use newer generation model which I could do so much more with but I always refrain myself from doing so, because I don't want you to believe that I'm completely changing the character looks and feels and that at the end, they don't look the same at all. I've always been using the same models from the beginning. But now if you're telling me that you think I'm changing the models while I'm not, nothings is preventing me to completely rework them like I did for Smasha in the last update >_<
Its probably just the hair Shinra, but if you need to rework her then so be it. Its we will all still appreciate it : )
DeleteThere is a gray area between keeping everything the same or completely rebuilding the models (Smasha example). Can't you try to remake the models using the newer Victoria or Genesis models (whichever you're using) while building them the same or as similar as possible as you've done before?
DeleteJust look at how much the character models have changed in all of G9's Shadow Ranger and Gaia Ranger chapters. No one made a fuss about that either.
And besides, your quest of keeping everything the same didn't stop you from using newer software anyway. I'm sure everyone agrees that TFS9 looks "a little" prettier than TFS1! If you never updated anything, you'd still be using graphics that look ancient by today's standards.
It's such a shame not to make use of the opportunity to make the characters look as pretty and sharp as possible.
Why not give it a try and post some "before" and "after" comparison pics here and ask for our opinion?
As long as you focus on keeping them as much the same as we know them, I'm sure you can refresh the character models in a way that satisfies everyone.
And if we somehow massively disagree with the result, then at least you know for sure. (Or you could ignore all our whining and still go with the newer models. ^_~)
It's actually what I'm doing already more or less...
DeleteI'm using the old model I've created a long time ago, but I'm using some script to transfer all the morphs, body and face, to a newer generation of character. But it has some downfalls, as they are still perceive by the software as old generation figure and you have to play and tweak a lof of stuff to make it work with new generation models. It would definitely be much more easier for me, and much more prettier for the readers, to ditch the old models and rebuild them from scratch.
The dilemma is that they would look quite different face-wise. But As you say, nobody seems to complain ^^
Honestly, I would.
DeleteIf changing their look even a little bit can make your characters look so different, then I want even less that you completely change their faces!
The one who started this chain here - Shinra, I think it is because of the elven ears and the fact you removed the fairy makeup as you named it; I'd like if you at least put it back. : )
DeleteI always thought that Mr. Devil was an asshole (as in annoying prick not a badass) And this chapter revealed that on top of being asshole he's also a whiny, spoiled only child. Also he was duped by Mr. Snake pretty easily which means that he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I really hope that the corrupted guardians will backstab this asshole. Evil winning in the end but without the Devil would be the best ending for me ><
ReplyDeletedevil or no devil, I would be disappointed if evil didn't win in the end. that's what makes his comics and g9's comics so good. most other comics has good winning in the end and the heroines being saved. that's boring!
DeleteCan't wait to read this later.
ReplyDeleteYou should put up a second torrent on e-hentai that has the entire series from part 1 to part 9.5 so it's easier for new readers to catch up.
It's not a bad idea, it's going to be a big 3-4 Gb file, who's the kind soul up to post the torrent?
DeleteSeems like a good Samaritan took care of this for us *_*
DeleteThe 9.5 chapters are now available altogether on ehentai, and in a single torrent. The file is "only" 5.6 Gb... :P
Cool, I was here just few days ago but didn't guess that a new part would be up so soon. ...Mainly because I completely forgot that you would publish these in smaller parts.
ReplyDeleteKinda sorry that my favourite characters weren't in the spot light but by concentrating mainly Leto and the Devil you were able to tell their stories rather than just showing bits of the several plotlines currently unfinished in the story. Great work, I look forwards to seeing the rest!
Don't worry, next part will be all about the scenes we left in the previous chapter ;)
DeleteFantastic work!
ReplyDeleteYeeeah, it was worth it waiting so long! Thanks for you work, it's perfect. Models are great (as at 3d side, as at their beauty) and story are exiting, and reads on one breath.
ReplyDeleteAnd one main difference, that makes this comics series best of all i've ever seen - story isn't predictable, as there are in many other high-level comics. Thanks again, will waiting 2nd part now))
Thanks. A good story is the thing that I really like in corruption comics, so it's always nice to hear that people appreciate to read the story as much as I like to write it ^^
DeleteStill enjoying the ninth chapter like the first. You did a great job with the models (Antechrist superstar !). But, please, don't let all the Guardians fall that easily - let the good guys kick some ass !
ReplyDeleteThe new Archangel would be coming soon, probably the next chapter that involves the oracle.
DeleteDon't worry the good guys are still there and will be kicking some ass in next part and in the last chapter.
DeleteIt surprised me that Arachnea is Eve. Would you consider a human form for Arachnea?
ReplyDeleteThat is a possibility... ^^
DeleteLegit one of the best corruption comics I've ever read. Congrats Shinra!
ReplyDeleteI like that the whole chapter (or part 1 of it) was very focused. One of my issues with Fallen Star has always been that there were too many characters and plots going on at once but I think you've gotten better with that over time.
It really feels like we're just about at the end though. I assume it won't end with part 2 as there's still plenty of story left. But I feel like chapter 10 would be a good place. You don't want it to go on TOO long.
I just wonder who the big final corruption would be, assuming it ends with the bad guys winning (as it should). I don't have a clear look at who the main hero is anymore.
The Oracle and Zeliel maybe?
DeleteAnd there are still Hyperion and his girlfriend Rhea.
The saga should indeed end with the 10th Chapter.
DeleteI only go for a eleventh one if I can't pack everything in one single last chapter ^^
Talking about corruption, it would be nice to see Rhea vs Mariah's double toys :)
ReplyDeleteShinra the Chapter 10 is the last chapter?
ReplyDeleteIf everything goes as planned... Yes, the 10th chapter will be final one.
DeleteYou said in some moment of the past (i think i remember) that all the Chapters of the saga "Fallen Star" could be 12 chapters, not the 10 that you said upside, Shinra.
DeleteNo, there are two more chapters, I think, for this saga. In total, 12 chapters and finish after the chapter 12.
ReplyDeleteShinra, i have a question about the characters of second line, in this case with Peter the brother of Carla. What happened with him in the next chapter after his appear and corruption in the Chapter IX?
ReplyDeleteI think i misunderstood the Chapters, i am talking of Chapter VIII.
DeleteIf you look carefully at the page 493 from chapter 8, you'll that Carla's mother AND Peter are part of the army that follows Starlight to Heaven.
DeleteSo there's high chance that we see him appear somehow in chapter 9 part 2 ^^
Shinra, thanks for the explanation, i didn´t remember that image.
DeleteWhen will you resume work?
ReplyDeletewhen will you resume your work? TFS PART 2 FIRST PLEASE BEFORE H.C. :))))
ReplyDeleteShinra are you releasing HC before Part 2?
ReplyDeleteAlright...There's already a few people wondering what I'm up to next, so I guess a small update on my activities would be great ^^
ReplyDeleteFirst, I would like to thank all of you for the more than warm welcome you gave to the first part of chapter 9. This last year has been quite tough for me, trying to juggle with a very demanding job, a very demanding new family, and of course a very demanding hobby ;) I've been quite often out of motivation and especially after the quite mitigated success of Chapter 8. But after seeing how good the reception was for the first part of chapter 9, I can tell I'm back in business now, on fire ^^ Again I would like to thank MPGrey, HoC, and all of the others who supported when I was down, and who kept pushing me to give my best!
As to what I'm up to right now, if it was easy for me to switch to my new 3D engine for the first part, it was only because it was focused on a single big scene with only a few characters and one environment to rework, which means that I could do it along with working on the scene itself.
Now that we're back to the great battle in Heaven, with dozens of "stakeholders" and multiple places where the action takes part, I have a huge prep work before being able to start rendering. I'm also back to the drawing board working on the storyboard. So while I'm retexturing and remodelling all my characters and environment, reworking the lighting, and finalising the storyboard for TFS9:2, I've started rendering for HC3.
Even if the first scene is quite slow to render due to a lot of light and shadow effect (around 1h of rendering/pic >_<) I'm actually making good progress, as you may have see on the progress bar above ^^
As soon as TFS is good to go, I'll switch back or try to finish HC3 while starting on Part 2. We'll see what is feasible.
So while
Was the story not completed for 9.5, or are you editing the storyboard again?
DeletePlease give a sneak preview of retextured mariah in the next preview :P, we need more badass demonic characters like her. Do you have any characters planned that would transform into something like her? I understand not everyone is quite fond of corrupting characters into an actual demons and prefer the outfit change + eyeliner combo but other than Tethys do you have something like this planned for anyone else?
Last question, there would be corruption in HC3 this time right :P, as much as i would like Part2, i would recommend you to focus and release HC3 first so you will have more time to Prep and also fully focus on Part 2 and make it great.
Thanks a lot for all that you do Shinra. And thanks to HoC and Mpgrey for helping in delivering the best chapter of Fallen Star yet! It was only a half but I really liked it.
DeleteI don't get it. what do you mean by "mitigated succes of chapter 8" This chapter was awesome! I don't remember peaople being disappointed about it.
DeletePerhaps it was not as successful as the other chapters, many people were quite disappointed with Tethys not getting revealed and not alot of corruption.
DeleteThanks so much Shinra for all that you do. And thanks to HoC and Mpgrey too. It was the best chapter of Fallen Star yet and it was only the first part.
DeleteI loved the corruption of Leto and I hope we see Eve patch things up with the Devil.
What's funny is that if God had let the Gabriel have her he would never have turned.
I like the irony.
Glad to hear you have your motivation back! Fallen Star is great. Very exciting. You're doing amazing work. Please just finish Fallen Star. I enjoy Harriett Cooper. Looks good. Interesting story. But Fallen Star is where it is at. Just go all in on part 2 and 3 please! So looking forward to reading it!
DeleteShinra needs more time preparing for the models before he proceeds creating part 2. So in the meantime he needs a change of fresh air. Whats there to lose you get HC earlier and part 2 slightly later but a unrushed part 2. Part 2 is really important with all the big corruptions and we want Shinra to be focused and ready to do it really well.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI want to see everybody corrupted and evil winning, but some part of me can't help but hope for the good guys victory. Are there any chances that you would be willing to create small alternate non-cannon ending where good guys manage to seize a victory with a last-ditch effort? Even 10 pages would be fine... Pretty please?
ReplyDeleteShinra, be possible to have two endings, one for the good guys wins and other where win the bad guys?
ReplyDeletetime part 2?
ReplyDeleteEnd of the year
Deleteshinra when do you star the new chapter of legion ?
ReplyDeleteis legion the next big series like fallen star and you will work on that front after chpater tem of falen star
I'd love to work on Legion, but unfortunately, the script for chapter 2 is still on-going.
DeleteAs soon as this is finished, I'll be able to start working on it at some point.
That's is over? Ten days without news... :(
ReplyDeleteHuh huh I'm still here, lurking in the shadows muahahah.
ReplyDeleteI've been working a lot on finishing TFS9:2 storyboard and retexturing/modelling the character, but I still need a bit of time, and then I'll finally be able to fully delve into it.
On the other hand, I've made some good progress on HC3 I have around 30 full HD pages ready and we're already nearing the 25% update ^^
Gotta say I'm really happy with the quality.
That's good to hear, after the good response from part 1, you have been on fire, i guess the motivation really did help. You should start your patreon soon so we can throw our money at you so that you would be more even more motivated :D
DeleteThere is a donation button in the sidebar on the right if you want to support Shinra financially. ;)
DeleteAlready did, but nothing beats logging on and seeing the number there you know. Feels better than an email telling you that someone donated :P
DeleteI'm glad this news. I can not ask for more. Is you work hard at this, and I thank you for this
DeleteHello Shinra and mpgrey!
ReplyDeletefinally I can write my feedback hehe
the story is very connected, now things start make sense (for me, so maybe I'm late) but congrats for it! really apreciated the grids and lights.. some artists let all to dark.. but you guys don't.. thats nice!
for now, Leto has the best "past history" for me, but there's still some chapters to go so let's see
very nice job on references for the story plot, this comic is already a Classic! As you're doing, don't hesitate in full check and re-write any panel, because after it's online it's difficult to keep a "official version", so be strong and don't fall for lurkers :P
just a minor error, on panel 27 there's a lost white square probably for text, but with no use..
and last but not least the best sequel of the chapter is from panel 155 to 160.. god.. I mean gad.. I mean.. this was fantastic, right timing, Leto empowered with attitude, nice facial expressions and some good frameworks. superb!
image quality at a high level now!
can't wait for the 2˚part.. (yes I can :P)
About that white square on page 026 (not 027), ummm...what's it doing there indeed.
DeleteI am completely confused about this. I'd swear it wasn't there in earlier versions, but I've already discarded all the copies of the pages that have remained unchanged so I can't check.
Ah well, typical case of me getting annoyed for missing a detail that's pretty much completely irrelevant, so you can be sure that the multiple full checks will continue in every comic.
Next goal: zero mistakes! :P
that's nice, keep the fun!
DeleteOh my gosh my mind has been blown when i first read the comic. I loved the backstory of the devil and how he started. interesting use of snakes in the corruption of Leto. I cant wait until part 2 or even the next adventure of harriet cooper. Continue the good work Shinra, you have got yourself a loyal fan here!
ReplyDeleteThank you MajorChainPain.
DeleteI hope you'll like what is coming ;)
Any chance for TFS remodel sneak peaks in the 25% HC update
Delete: D?
You're doing great work on everything. I know motivation really matters so stay motivated. You're doing a great job. While I really want to see more Fallen Star more than anything else, I guess I'd rather you be working on what you feel you need to be working on so that all your ideas are fresh and you aren't forcing anything.
DeleteIf you do some remodeling-- I definitely want a sneak-peak of the new Miss T model... and probably starlight and Mariah. But hopefully even before the next big updates we can see a few teasers or something.
Good luck. You should be very proud of what you're doing.
New comic is looking great Shinra! Impressed how quickly you've got the new render engine under control. It's perfect like this, totally the right choice to switch during the process.
ReplyDeleteSo I have a question. Who is doing what with TFS?
ReplyDeleteThis chapter may be the best so far and you thank both Mpgrey and HoC at the beginning, but only Mpgrey is officialy taking credit and commenting on the blog.
Did HoC leave in the middle? Are you guys in bad terms or something?
I really loved the chapter btw.
Shinra does the art, mp checks the english, HoC probably also does editing or contributes to the plot
DeleteFor this chapter, HoC has assisted designing a certain scene that will be in part 2. Shinra had a general idea of how to tackle this scene and asked HoC to come up with ideas to fill in some blanks.
Delete...Or that is how I've been told.
I repair the text (grammar and fluency), and Shinra does all the rest.
Yep, that's the way we roll ^^
DeleteNo, we are not in bad terms with HoC at all.
I know he can get really busy at some time, like I'm myself some other time. So we might see him disappear for a while. Or he's just shy and is lurking in the dark corner of the blog :P
HoC is also the proud owner of the website Hall Of Corruption that can be found in the links on the top left corner, and which gather a lot of material and stories around the corruption theme.
On top of that, Mpgrey and HoC comforts me if I'm on the right track, or on the contrary, try to warn me if something seems wrong to them. Having extra pairs of eyes to judge the quality of the story, arts and dialogues before it gets released is a must.
Whoah, that sounds like a tightly bound business!
DeleteI checked HoC's blog. It's a lot of fun but he hasn't changed it for a while.
You and your team do a great job Shinra. I can't wait for the second part of the chapter!
Thanks for the concern but I'm good. As Shinra guessed, I've just been a bit busy lately.
DeleteI just updated my blog with a small comic.
Enjoy!
Hey shinra, if tethys is already a demon and if she drinks the "cure" would she switch sides now? And also would she get another form after drinking the cure?
ReplyDeleteThis will, a way or another, somehow be part of... Part 2 ^^
DeletePart 2 is confirmed the gold mine. How far are you from completing the assets required for Part2?. Would you jump to HC and then back or continue to finish Part 2 when the resources are completed?
DeleteI'm actually not far from finishing all the prep for part2.
DeleteOnce finished, I will most likely work on both HC3 and TFS9:2 till HC3 is being released.
As the previous HC chapters, it is much smaller than a TFS installment and I would probably be half way through by the time I start working on TFS9:2 so I guess it would be a shame to wait to release it after TFS while I can get it out in a couple of months
SeemsGood, is it possible we see the 25% update this week?
DeleteJust 4 more % till an update, the suspense is starting to kill me : ( Shinra we need you!!!
ReplyDeleteI've encounter a few problem with the latest scene I was working on, and which was making my computer crash everytime I was trying to render any picture from that scene. Could not figure out what it was and have been forced to update my software to the latest release...
DeleteBut I'm back on track now
Its all good, at least we know you are around, appreciate the work!
DeleteHi there Shinra.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading TFS back from Ch 1 and i have some questions.
1) Who is this?http://g.e-hentai.org/s/aa765ae128/752099-299 (the girl Kimy.)
2) So.. Leto, Hyperion and Rhea are the 1st Generation. Zeliel, Saga and Nora are the 2nd Generation. Thethys, Rama and the red hair guy are from the 3rd Generation (if i'm not wrong, because while Leto was "visiting the Devil, she said that Lumiel was watching over Nora, because she wasn't fully awakened.)Lumiel and the Great Oracle are Archaengels right?(While Lumiel was fighting the Great Oracle she said "You and I are the closest Angels to God)..so here's the question.Who was the first Archaengel?Lumiel (her job was to guide the new guardians) or the Oracle?Because there's 1 Archaengel every 1500 years, (there's Lumiel helping Leto, Rhea and Zeliel fighting the Devil in the 1st Holy War).If the Oracle was created by God to "observe" and then He started the guardian thing..it makes sense.
3) How is it going with H.C?still waiting for the 25% update :D
1) Thats kimys soul, she has a part to play in the next chapter.
Delete2) Probably the devil himself before everything went to hell.
3) Well shinra has to answer this himself
1st generation: Hyperion, Rhea, Leto
Delete2nd generation: Hanuman, Ran, Tethys
3rd generation: Zeliel, Saga, Starlight (Nora)
Sorry.. (there's Lumiel helping Leto, Rhea and Hyperion (not Zeliel) fighting the Devil in the 1st Holy War)
ReplyDeleteBy any chance are you bringing carlas old outfit back? Or do you have something similar planned? It was a very sexy demon form outfit.
ReplyDeleteShinra, in the upcoming 25% update will you include Gellina or Bella succubus form? If not, will we get some TFS treats? Some update models and textures perhaps? It does not affect the story but further allows us to appreciate the advancement in your models :)
ReplyDeleteShinra, I had a question sort of unrelated to the comics directly but I didn't know where else to ask it. What sort of set up hardware and software wise would I need to do a comic like yours and what was the rough cost? Also, could I use Warcraft characters and not get any money for it without getting a cease and desist from Blizzard if I did?
ReplyDeleteIf you use any character under copyright of blizzard in any way that they would think that their corporative imagen would be damaged, i have the certain feeling that blizzard will not hesitate in send you a "clase and desist" no máster if you get a profit or not
ReplyDeleteHey shinra i read that 4 guardians will fall this chapter. Is tethys part of the 4 or has she already fallen? If so we've seen Leto, so the other 2/3 possibilities would probably be zell as he goes to moyira and ran when she meets evil tethys am i right? If tethys is not counted in the 4 then maybe hyperion by the newly corrupted Leto. :>
ReplyDeleteI am sure someone has asked this before, but, i was wondering if shinra-kun's demons are also part vampires? the reason i ask is because sometimes to turn a human the demoness bites the victim in the neck to transmit the demon energy in them. Is this true or am i thinking too much into it?
ReplyDeleteYou're overthinking it; that it's happened a couple of times is just something that is capable of happening within the world Shinra has created.
DeleteIf he wanted vampires then he'd bring in vampires, lol.
Pretty much just one of the many forms of corruption he has for the comic.
DeleteThanks for the reply, I am sure if he wanted a vampire comic he would of made it. It was just a thought. Still I can not wait for the second part to debut.
DeleteNeither can all of us, but be mentally prepared, it will most likely come next year. Shinra is a busy man
DeleteHey Shinra. Could we get some progress on the progress bar?
ReplyDeleteApparently he is always busy just before an update
DeleteThe man's got a family and a job that come before the hobby (as they should), he'll get to it in time though.
DeleteExactly. I too am eager to see progress but it isn't like this is his sole occupation. Family and job come before this comic.
DeleteI am not saying he should put this before his real life, but it kinda sucks real life gets in the way just before updates all the time you know what im tryna say?
DeleteMurphy's Law takes many forms.
DeleteOnly in the ideal world will everyone continue to have vast amounts of available time.
DeleteEveryone gets older and moves on in life. Of course that is annoying for all the fans. Of course everyone longs back to the days when it seemed natural to see progress every day.
But that's simply not realistic anymore, nor will it (very probably) ever be realistic again.
Real life will keep getting in the way more and more frequently as time goes on.
What a pity, the good are always busy and the bad just keep uploading their garbage onto the net and even ask people to pay for it.
DeleteThat is very true but also part of the explanation. If you're selling your work, it stops being 100% hobby and it'll automatically get more priority. After all, it's then in your best interest to get a consistent flow of production in order to maintain interest from fans and get this fanbase to grow.
DeleteFor mere hobbyists like us, there is a different order of priority.
If your work is your priority but its lackluster compared to someone who does it for a hobby, i am not sure whats really going on.
DeleteThen it just shows how little time and attention has been put into it and how that particular artist thinks there is easy money to be made despite lazy production.
DeleteThe site hasn't been closed down so i guess people are actually paying, but no idea why no one has tried following Shinras concept. Good quality good story and not just a shit fest of mass produced chapters and characters.
DeleteI suppose not everyone can make great stories, no matter how much they would like to write them. And not everyone feels the need to write something revolutionary as long as the masses are happy with the same stuff over and over.
DeleteSo you can also turn this around and be glad that some artists (Shinra in this case) are different because they have more storytelling skills and more commitment than others.
You can only stand out as special if the majority of the others are mundane.
Thats the case if all of their works are really crappy, some had potential then they just decided to end it with a corrupted character without any action.
DeleteWoah Woah, that 34%! Looking forward to the update soon. Hopefully it has some juicy Demons/Corrupted forms in it, and maybe some sneak peaks of retextures of TFS.
ReplyDeleteSorry if it's in the comments, when is the 2nd part getting released? I just found your comics on g.e.hentai (and the site itself) and LOVE them. Can't wait for the 2nd half of this one!
ReplyDeleteI can't really give you a release date but stay tuned on the blog, I will post update from time to time.
