As promised, it was not conceivable to leave 2017 and start 2018 without an update on your, should I dare say, favorite comic ^^
As you might have seen, we've nearly reach the 90% mark. It represents 430 pages for the total chapter and around 210 just for this part 2. I reckon the overall chapter 9 will be over 500 pages, so you would have understood that part 2 will be a bit bigger than part 1. Yeaaaaah!
Because it's new year and because it's also the time for good resolutions hum hum...
I promise that the last remaining chapter of the saga, chapter 10, will be released on a completely different and more regular basis.
Enjoy the update and see you in a couple of months for the release.
Looking forward to it, Shinra! Have a safe and happy new year :)
ReplyDeleteHappyNewYear, Shinra!
ReplyDeleteThe last picture is a good surprise for me!I am really looking forward to releasing this chapter.
I hope that you will be active this year.Thanks!
Thanks for the update, Shinra! Enjoy your NYE! Two months is still a ways away, but it’s bound to be worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Shinra.
ReplyDeleteHappy NEW YEAR :)
I have a question about the second part.Is The Oracle involved in any scene?
Nope, her turn will come in the final chapter...
DeleteHappy New Year! Is it too early to ask for an ETA?
ReplyDeleteEnd of January . I think >_<
DeletePay attention on the false profile! Fake.
DeleteHappy new year Shinra and MPgrey. Thank you for this update. Good luck, for the continuation of your works, the last image is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year´s Eve 2018, Shinra-kun. And don´t forget that you are enjoying with these chapters because it´s your unique daughter.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Thank you for all your hard work on your comics. I really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year dude! Good luck and health to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to all
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Shinra, it's great to see more previews, and it looks chapter's 9 full release is closer every day.
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome - the quality of the pics are fantastic. They've come along way from your first three chapters. How many more scenes are left to create? id the script done with the storyboard or until after you've done all the rendering?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Including the one I'm working on right now, a big one, 2 medium size ones, and 1 short one.
DeleteScript has been done for a very long time now, storyboard is pretty much finished too. Only remains rendering and edition ^^
a couple months!? :(
ReplyDeleteA couple month to finish off 10%!?!? cmoooooon maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnn
ReplyDeleteLooking great Shinra, Happy New Year and I look forward to the release when it's ready! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics mate, looking tremendously good. So you're about to do around 100 pages more? Good god that would be awesome. Hope that you'll be able to finish it soon. :)
ReplyDeleteYes I think so. Hence the couple of months to finish off only 10% ^^
DeleteWAAAT!! A hundred page MOAARR make it 200 page more or maybe 1000 the more the better right?
DeleteThankyouuu for the updates.. I'm big fan of you and your comics.. It's always worth to wait these pics...
ReplyDeleteCannot wait to see it full... XD
I just hope we won't get a good ending.
ReplyDeleteMe too. After all this, one of the evil factions has to win. Based on Shinra's past works though, I don't think we have anything to worry about
DeleteI for one am hoping for a win for Satan and his harem. And I hope he takes control of the other evil factions.
DeleteI originally hoped for an outright win for the Demons (of course the monsters weren't a faction at the beginning), but, now that the monsters have Ms.T and Saga (who are so hot), I second the hope for the Demons to dominate everyone. It can be Satan or Starlight who ultimately wins, I don't care (as long as an evil being wins :) )
Delete
ReplyDeleteHappy new year dude! Good luck and health to all
!
Happy new year Shinra!
ReplyDeleteit is great to see the improvements on the pictures quality,stories etc. through out the series and you have put much efforts in producing these to us.
Can't wait to see the next chapter
can i get little seed on the first comic
ReplyDeleteAny updates?
ReplyDelete91% maybe?
Can you release a 2nd part out of 3?
ReplyDeleteI second this suggestion! Though it's unlikely to happen.
Delete95% yeahhh!
ReplyDeleteOh no!just dreaming
What is annoying about this process is that he needs "a couple months" he clearly can get it done fairly quickly if he focused on it. Its such a tease.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise why not produce 1% a week as of January 1st? thats a couple months, brings you to 98%, 1% for final checking, 1% for upload, and done.
This is not a full time job mate. Its a pass-time that he's kind enough to share with the rest of us. And experience has shown that progress is never enough. People still demand more progress faster.
DeleteYou seem completely blind to the part that he still has over 100 pages to complete.
DeleteYeah, it's 10% until it's released, but it's also a lot of work and if you think you could do it faster then you are welcome to make your own comic and show everybody how it's done.
Otherwise, sit there and wait patiently.
Yeah, mate. It's free. Let Shinra release when he is able and be thankful it is still free.
Deletequick maths : a couple months is quite fast for 10% ...
DeleteHey Shinra, this is kind of random, but here goes. At the end of chapter 7, we see Arachnea spit out a spider which later approached Leto in the shower. Had Leto not killed that spider, what would have happened? Would it have crawled inside her or bitten her? Will we see this possibly happen to another character?
ReplyDeleteWE already have the crawl inside thing with Saga, so no it would have bitten her I guess.
DeleteNo I won't repeat the same schema here in Fallen Star, but why not in another story ;)
Good
ReplyDeleteHi Shinara, I have a question, do you plan to work on 10 of the fallen stars or what other comics do in the summer?
ReplyDeleteThat, my friend, is a good question ^^
DeleteI guess I'm not yet sure. I suppose I listen to the voice of the community ;)
Shinra your only fault is that that comic is too much good.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, please, publish the first part (if you arrived at 90% , i think that you could publish, i don't know, the 50%?).
Best
Berluskaz
PS: i don't know if your big problem is the money or the time (but time is money), but i suggest to pass on patreon
anyway, Shinra, yo are the boss, and you decide how and when to publish your masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a journey friend, and here we are, the last ride. Rest in peace shinra, Nothing is more painful in life as the separation of a jewel. God rest his soul. My most sincere condolences.
ReplyDeleteWhen someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace shinra-kun , Words fall short of expressing my sorrow. My condolences. T___T

Deletekill urself
DeleteRest In Peace Shinra.
ReplyDeleteOMG, what happened :'((? I'm so sorry shinraaa , nooo ..........
ReplyDeletewhat happen?! shinra? take care
ReplyDeletei think is a joke. c'mon guys
ReplyDeleteI hope it is a joke, a poor one at that, but if not then that is truly sad. Sad that this community has lost a truly talented artist and storyteller and sad for his family to have lost him.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened?Can someone please provide some details?
ReplyDeleteThe G9 and MP comments don't look like real ones but idk
ReplyDeleteI just checked the profile pages and IT'S FAKE.
DeleteApparently some retard mdfcker doesn't have anything better to do than posting shit.He just took the profile pictures, made 2 accounts and that's it.
Don't worry, we will see very soon mgrey, the real one..here on Shinra's Blog.
I apologise for the bad words,but i don't see the point in his behaviour.
Looks like you are right, those two comments profiles seem to be fake, hopefully this is just one bad tasteless joke.
DeleteReal MP here. This is indeed a new all-time low. I can imagine some troll simply making an anonymous comment and then filling in my name, as has happened a few times before. Going so far as to make "official" fake profiles, including avatar pictures, is both sad and scary. And to top all of that, it's these ridiculous posts again about someone dying!
DeleteI know this is the internet and decency in communication is far from guaranteed, but I can only hope this joker learns to grow up as soon as possible.
To clarify for those even having a speck of doubt: Shinra is fine, just busy. The last scenes of the chapter simply take up a lot of time, and he hasn't got much time to spend on comics.
Good to know MP. I think we all are relieved to know Shinra is OK and that all this was some stupid joke.
DeleteWhat a horrible thing to do. This is beyond trolling. This is not a "joke." To pretend to be g9 and mpgrey and pretend a real person died because they don't want to wait for a high-quality FREE piece of art? That's awful for shinra, mp, g9, and the community that generally waits patiently. Shinra, you take as much time as you need.
DeleteWho said anything about waiting ? Stop assuming it's kinda annoying tbh .__.
DeleteThanks MpGrey for clarifying the situation.

ReplyDeleteHello Shinara. I'm wondering what is the main cause of the fall of the stars, the darkness that they allowed to penetrate into their mind and heart as a virus and change them, and if they remove all this darkness they themselves will want to return to evil after being purified? Wash this is the real fall and corruption.

DeleteHi Shinra, MPgrey,i hope that you are well. Where you are on the advance of the works, I hope that this beginning of year is convenient to the inspiration. Your last images are really magnificent, it is the quality work. Good luck for the suite, thank you again, the good continuation.
ReplyDelete94%!!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work Shinra!
Hello Shinra,
ReplyDeleteA mutual friend (Beth) introduced me to your amazing art work.
I'll be following your future work with great anticipation. Beth told me all about you, so after reading many of the replies/comments, all I can say is, take the time you need with your family and work. Those of us that appreciate what it's like to juggle life, and a hobby understand what you're going through. Take all the time you need...we'll be here when time allows you to release your work on your time.
L&R Liz
Hi Liz, thanks for your kind words.
DeleteHope you'll enjoy what's coming as much as my previous work.
Glad to have you onboard ;)
Hi Shinra!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put in for such an involved (and free!) project. I really appreciate it and hope you know most of your fanbase is fine with you taking all the time you need.
Second, I just have a minor question regarding a side character- is there any chance we'll see the cute police officer from chapter 8 again? (The one Sgt. Mendez and, later, Sgt. Reese was corrupting from pages 381 to 388) I thought she was one of your best character designs thus far and I'd love to see her back in either this chapter or the last if there is an opportunity for it, ideally as a corrupted demon or, even better, in the process of transforming into one.
If it doesn't fit your story to have the police return, I understand but I thought I'd throw the request out just in case there was an opportunity.
Thank you for your support, it's much appreciated.
DeleteIf the police officer comes back, it will probably be in the last chapter.
Thanks for replying! Yeah, I figured it was too late to work her into this chapter. Just thought I'd let you know she has a fan in case you need an officer for story stuff in the final chapter.
Delete94% -> AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! Yusssss m8.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for all the sample's have been dropped this last year, I think it would be absolutely epic to get to 100%, then upload a chapter with 3 images in it. Just to see this forum explode. Epic
ReplyDeleteWould have been a nice one for a release on the first of April, but hopefully it won't take that long.
DeleteNaw mpgrey, instead release it in Feb, then on April 1st release a new (fake) preview: mlp fallen star edition or something dumb like that.
DeleteShines said couple months. Couple = 2. End of February. Do itttttt.
ReplyDeleteShinra could we get a scene count update? How many big/med/small scenes are left. Cant contain my excitement for march to come :)
ReplyDelete1 medium and 1 small ^^
Delete94% listed and no actual update is so misleading.
ReplyDeleteEnd of February sounds within reason. 4% for final pages, 1% final check and 1% for upload.
I'll be traveling from beginning to end of March, so I'll do whatever I can to release before going.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it can be finished by the end of Feb, if not is it back to the trusty travel laptop and hotel wifi like old times?
Deletempgrey, have you received any of the new work for editing?
ReplyDeleteNot a single page since early october despite plenty of reminders.
DeleteYeah the boss answered. It is true that it would be magnificent a liberation of the chapter before the beginning of March. Concerning the next working project, I vote without hesitating for HC4, I look forward to seeing corrupt Minea. Thank you for everything.
ReplyDeleteYeah I second HC4 being next Project as well, love that series.
DeleteHere's hoping she gets corrupted. Shinra has a way of foreshadowing and then not delivering.
DeleteRest assured Andrew, Minea definitely gets corrupted in the next HC chapter ;)
DeleteI also choose HC4.
ReplyDeleteMay I know is there any update for the Queen comic??
ReplyDeleteWithout divulging much more than needed, what kind of crazy job do you have that requires you to travel constantly?
ReplyDeleteAnd if so, how much damn money are you making, and 3... can I have your job?
The good news is Shinra has done the long scene and a medium length one. I guess not all 4% is equal
ReplyDeleteYep you get the right impression, 4% to go but still lots to do ^^
DeleteHi Shinra-kun, oh, already 94 percent, great. Continue at the same pace. I know that you are very busy, but do not deny the request to create the next comic about superheroes, or rather about an wonder woman. Oh, I really liked this comic book in my teenage years. I would like to see this in your performance. Here's an interesting interpretation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X9V9Tfl34w ps.Hc4 also want to :)
ReplyDeleteWhat about a mini mini update for today?
ReplyDelete5 random pictures (of TFS9 P2 of course) to calm us down :)
Maybe..a picture of Mariah?Rhea,Lumiel..
Hi Shinra, thanks for your work, i've read all your comics on this blog, and i love your stories thanks for your work ;) i have a question, can i know how you create the pictures please?
ReplyDeleteWith lots and lots of love :D
DeleteI also happen to use a combination of a few different software such as Octane, Daz, Blender, ZBrush, Photoshop,...
Well, hi Shinra. I'm a really really old fan of your comics, but just now i decided to say(write) something here. First place, what i most love in your comics, mainly TFS, besides the corruption, wich is amazing, is the fact that the good guys are not winning. We always see and hear stories about the good side being the winner, but until now at least, your story have been different. I know that, probably, at some point, the angels need turn the game, win the war( or not, maybe :) ) but anyway, is incredible see so many corruptions and so many wins of the bad guys in a story.
ReplyDeleteAnd, to finish, i would like to let here my honest opinion: Miss T is the most important character. Since beginning she has been envolved in the events, she being corrupted was essential for the story happens, and that corruption was perfect: slow, calm, affecting both body and mind. I hope see more of she corrupting another characters because I confess, she is my favorite here.
Well, keep the fantastic work, I'm crazy to see this new chapter.
Sorry if something is wrong, english is my second language since 2015, so my grammar is not perfect yet(probably never will be)
DeleteThanks Bruno.
DeleteLet's hope it keeps going in that direction ;)
Hey Shinra
ReplyDeleteDo you have another social media account like G9 has its Pixiv and deviantart?
(I just want to know)
No I don't...
DeleteUnfortunately, it's already hard for me to get this one here up to date >_<
Hi Shinara! I, as a fan of your work, a huge request make your next story about the league of justice please, please, please. Is it possible that I alone have the desire to see the depraved, and perverted Wonder Woman and the super-girl? I'm yelling! Maybe you will have even more new fans, who knows? Nevertheless, I advise you to do what you yourself like. Wish you all the best!
ReplyDeleteHey buddy, give a look in league of justice of black pharao. Its incredible. Since we already have the league with black pharao i dont like the idea about shinra using it too. He doesn't need it because he created from 0 an amazing world of characters and places to explore with his story. If you wanna see the league corrupted, black pharao is the man.
DeletePlease, next HC4!
ReplyDeleteWould also vote for HC4 next!
ReplyDeleteI do think, regardless of what comic gets a follow up next, it'd be a good idea to explore a new release model. I know you can only make what you have time to make regardless of how often you release, but releasing a few scenes a month in bite sized fashion might be better than getting a huge dump once every year or so. (Granted, the huge drop does feel reallllllly good when it happens)
What about chapter 2 of legion?
ReplyDeleteHopefully will get to see this chapter of The Fallen Star finished by the end of the month, whatever Shinra decides to do next it's fine by me. I'm really looking forward to see Minea corrupted on HC4 and Legion was about to get fun with chapter 2.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the dude above. It is better to make 50-70 pages for a chapter of some kind of comics, but to see more often something really worthwhile. And yet I think that if a person does not like what he does then nothing worthwhile we will not see.
ReplyDeleteDear Bruno Martin, I wanted to see not only the corruption of the Wonder Woman but also her protector of the goddess Herra. In general, all the goddesses of Greek mythology. Do not you wonder how would they depict their Shinara before corruption and after? And as for the works of the Black Pharaoh, then I think they are not bad, but I prefer 3d comic books the more they can be animated on them. I hope to see something like this in Shinara in the future.
ReplyDeleteWho is Bruno Martin?
DeleteWho is Shinara
Now we're talking about. A comic with corruption envolving Greek mythology sounds great to me. I agree, I would like to see that.
DeleteCorrupting Greek Gods sounds like an awesome idea. If Hera is the first one, the rest will fall like dominoes.
DeleteMp would you mind giving us an update when you receive pages ^^? Hopefully we don't have to wait until April. Thank you and Shinra for your hard work :)
ReplyDeleteI have been given new pages yesterday. It's going to be a hell of a job to get everything done before march. The situation is far from ideal, but we'll see how it works out.
DeleteSo... Do this mean you have all the remaining pages of Chapter 9?
DeleteMP you can secretly send us the pictures, we won't tell Shinra :))
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteGive your best mpgrey. We know that you'll do all that you can to finish as soon as possible without losing quality.
DeleteThanks, Bruno. The added problem this time is that there is an actual time limit because Shinra is away from home during the entire month of march, and we all know that nobody is willing to wait a whole additional month just because the editor guy wasn't able to fully complete polishing up all the details.
Delete132 pages were covered in october, but Shinra hasn't yet gotten to working on the fixes. I have now gotten 130 additional pages, but that's still not the end of it yet.
The problem is, and this may come as a surprise to some, I have a life too and can't work on this on each of the remaining february days.
It's all going to be...problematic at best. Pressure is also counterproductive because inspired text fixing and rewriting requires a clear head. Sometimes it's easy, and sometimes I need an hour to get a single picture right.
But again, we'll see how it works out.
What are all of your specific responsibilities? I know you guys may not want to trust the job to another random person, but as a writer with plenty of free time thanks to recently leaving a job, I could take part of the load if needed. I can send a private message/reply again with my actual contact information if you and/or Shinra is interested.
DeleteIf not, I totally understand. Just here to help meet the tough deadline if needed.
Alright Let's clarify things before the discussion get out of hands...
DeleteOne, there's still plenty for me to render, so don't go thinking putting pressure on MpGrey will speed things up, he can only work on what he has and two, I'm sorry for using this poor wording which has now put MPgrey in a delicate situation of feeling like he has to do aaaaallll the remaining work before I go. When I said I'd try to get everything ready by March, I only meant rendering wise. I can obviously only render when I'm home on my big rig and not while I'm travelling. But it doesn't mean I can't work on finishing the edition while I'm gone.
It will get done when it gets done, I for one (and I believe most are in agreement with me on this) am willing to wait for quality work for as long as it takes to get done.
DeleteIf we get it in April, great; if we get it in May, great; if we get it in June, great.
Take as long as you need to make the comic up to your standards Shinra; people might get pissy that it's taking longer than they want, but that's their problem, not yours.
Keep up the good work that you're doing, and I look forward to the release when it's finished! :)
Thanks for your support and understanding guys, it means a lot for me and MpGrey.
DeleteDasar wibu kontol
DeleteTo be honest, the thought that the chapter would be released in february sounded too utopian. Like some others mentioned that they were expecting it in april, same thought here. I was even concerned that you guys would stress yourself to fulfill this. Anon above me is completly right don't rush, and just try to create what you can until you have to leave.
DeleteI have to say that I really enjoy the facial expressions Shinra gives the people while they get corrupted. I don't know how difficult it is to do that, but it is something important in comics like these, simple words are not enough, you have to see it in their eyes as well.
ReplyDeletePeople, tell me where to find the 3d comic on the game Witcher 3, with corruption?
ReplyDeleteWon't the corrections that need to be made after mpgrey makes his edits need to be rendered? In the past, I remember entire scenes having to be reworked. I'm figuring that we all should be realistic and resign ourselves to the fact that ch 9 will not be published until April at the earliest.
ReplyDeleteThe overwhelming majority of everything that I address is text-based. That's just a simple matter of changing words to other words and is something that Shinra could even do on his laptop while away from home.
DeleteI do usually ask for some changed pictures or additional pictures, though, when a scene doesn't flow well or could be made more interesting. That is no different for this chapter. There is a scene where events happen that aren't believable and logical. It should be able to be easily fixed with some additional pictures, but Shinra still needs to make them. He will obviously prioritize this problem and leave the text for when all the rendering at least has been done.
It's nowhere near as problematic as the scene from TFS8 you probably refer to that had to be redone from scratch.
This also gives a reason why pictures aren't posted as, and when, they are created, (as was hinted at earlier). If corrections to a scene need to be made at a late stage in the creation of the whole, then it is better to relase it all when it is truly finalsed.
ReplyDeleteAny status update?
ReplyDeleteMcGrey?
Shinra?
Not promising anything, but it's going pretty well. Just 30 pages left of all the pages that I currently have. I have no idea how many pages still need to be made, though.
DeleteSounds like the fixes required aren't major and just some touch ups.
DeleteI would say roughly between 20-30 pages left to be made and a couple of pics to be re-rendered and we should be done with the rendering process ^^
DeleteI really seriously hope the good guys don't win this story. I think I speak for nearly everyone when I say we want to see every last good character fall into sweet sweet corruption.
ReplyDeleteAre we talking weeks or months left to go then? 20 to 30 pages does not sound like much left to go but that progress bar ain't moving either!!!
ReplyDeleteWeeks...
DeleteThere you go! ;)
lol
DeleteI hate to ask but, just to clarify my ignorance, does that mean there is no chance for publishing in march because you are traveling next week Shinra ?
Delete4 percent left :O
ReplyDeleteShinra you're a legend among legends
If I am able to get you some more GPU(s) would that be helpful for you to complete these a bit faster?
ReplyDelete96% !!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the work you put in Shinra, looking forward to seeing it when it's finished!
That extra 2% looks glorious
ReplyDeleteIt L I V E S
ReplyDeletei hope when it hits 100% everyone who has ever bothered mp9 grey and Shinrakun dies in a accident that day and as they float up to the sky they are looking down in shock in what just happened that would be funny
ReplyDeleteHoping for people to die is never funny.
DeleteYOU SONOVA BITCH WAT DID YOU SAY TO OUR ALLMIGHTY SHINRAAAAA!! Oh and mpgrey toooo.
DeleteHey, we could have serious comments on this blog!!!
DeleteGuys... Could we please stop this whole dying debate...
DeleteThis is not what this blog is meant for.
Thanks
At last comment, no that wouldn't be funny. Not funny at all.
ReplyDeleteHi MPgrey, what do you think of the end of the chapter, what is your impression? Well on I do not ask you to tell the story, but just to know your opinion. And thank you again, for what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteI haven't even given Shinra my opinion yet, so I'll keep it vague on purpose.
DeleteThe structure of the chapter is calmer than TFS8. There are not as many different scenes, and we generally stay with a scene until it has concluded.
As this is the penultimate chapter of a huge story, there isn't room to tackle things as slowly as before. There is clearly some wrapping up going on, but I feel that Shinra has found a good balance of not doing this too forcefully.
In other words, the story is clearly moving towards the end, but even though you understand that the speed needs to increase (which it does), it is still taking care of its characters and events carefully.
...And just when you think that, one scene has an unexpected turnaround that leaves it wide open as to what is going to happen in chapter 10. It certainly caught me by surprise!
So yeah, I'm actually very impressed by the storyboarding of this chapter. There is nothing more difficult than making a huge story (that has literally gone on for years) reach a satisfying conclusion with an equally satisfying pace.
(I can only hope that I can find a similar balance for Gaia 6...)
I obviously can't conclude anything about chapter 10, but chapter 9 is a job well done.
Thank you for your answer, I hope that you move forward well on the finalization of the chapter, the good continuation.
DeleteHi Shinra,
ReplyDeleteBeen a massive fan of the story and have followed since i found it many many years ago.
Question for you... When you released Chapter 8 it was released in 3 seperate releases as opposed to the entire thing at once. I know you have released part 1 already but will there be a part 2 or part 3 or will it simply be part 2 to be released all at once.
Love the work once again :)
I am not Shinra but it seems like, and even recall that he sayed part 9 will be a 2 part chapter.
DeleteAll the remaining pages of chapter 9 will be released as one package.
DeleteShinra, this might be completely off-base, but if you can't finish rendering before you head out on your trip, would it be possible to use a remote desktop software program to control your desktop from your laptop?
ReplyDeleteAre we looking at a mid March release? Maybe sooner? Let's not stumble at the finish line!
ReplyDeleteLet's be patient and let him release it when it's ready. Quit being demanding. The last thing we want is to make shinra feel like this is a chore. He is after all creating art and doing so without turning a profit. Take the time you need shinra.
ReplyDeleteHe's already said he is away for all of March, and would be away from his main computer. Thus, mid March would be unlikely, I think.
ReplyDeleteRIP Harriet Cooper...
ReplyDeleteShinra,
ReplyDeletehave a nice trip even though its work based.
I think we deserve a final update before his trip, just for the purpose of expectations.
ReplyDeleteI agree, if he can't get it finished before his trip, a final tease would be much appreciated.
DeleteLet's rev up those donations boys.
ReplyDeleteI guess the real question right now is whether Shinra can finish all the renders before leaving on the trip. If so, then a March release is possible. If not, then we are looking at April at the earliest.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in getting it done before your trip Shinra! Looking forward to the new release. Hope it is sooner rather than later but in any case, good luck and have a good trip! It has been really neat watching this series grow. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Shinra and MPGrey, I would like to know if we are going to have a pleasant surprise this weekend? Do you have time to publish anything before your departure? If is not the case we shall take we ours bad in patience, thank you and good luck to both.
ReplyDeleteI'm leaving on the 8th, so still have a little bit of time to work on renders. Working my ass off, but no promise it will be finished in 7 days. I'll give you an update before taking off.
ReplyDeleteplease... finished to 7 days... i am ultra hungry... :(
DeleteTo be honest - if you managed to release it by 8th of March, it would have been miracle and frickin' awesome. But - and it is a big but (pun intended) - if no, then that is perfectly fine. Take your time and don't give in to those bastar*s that are pretending to be you, or mpgrey, or those f*ckers that said that you're dead. You're doing a tremendous job for free, in your spare time. For that, you deserve a praise and our gratitude. Thanks for your job and may Satan guide you ( xD xD .)
DeleteWould be nice to see the next comic from you soon but I'm satisfied just knowing that it will eventually come out. I've enjoyed your comics a lot over the years.
DeleteNo Rush Shinra, work with you quality deserves all the time needed. We've been waiting for this one for some time, and I think I talk for many of your followers when I say we can wait a little bit more.
DeleteUpdate as a new post with pictures or status update?
DeleteStatus update?Anyone
ReplyDeleteI've just attained "superhero" status. Thanks for asking.
DeleteOh, the comic? For now the goal remains for Shinra to complete all the rendering before he leaves home. These last pages then obviously still need to be sent to me. I'm done with all other pages, though.
Working in the final text corrections will be done while Shinra is away.
For now, you should all keep your fingers crossed that Shinra will be able to complete all those pictures in the next two days. That's gonna be tight.
If the pictures manage to be rendered within the next two days might we see a release or do we still wait for shinra to come back?
DeleteThanks for all the hardwork
If the pictures can be completed before Shinra leaves, all other remaining parts of the job can be done without him needing his supercomputer at home.
DeleteBut let's not get too ahead of ourselves. We're super close to the finish line, but rendering time is also seriously running out. No matter what happens and how long everyone has already been waiting, we're not going to rush the last parts of this chapter just to get it online earlier.
WoW...well thanks a lot mpgrey.
ReplyDeleteps: before releasing the first part Shinra told us something about a scene with Mariah's double toys as a fan service.Can you confirm that?
Just about every single character gets in on the action. Mariah is no exception, but she decided that one toy was plenty.
DeleteAww. Guess no double futa action. Or hope its part of the remaining pictures.

DeleteSo you wanna say that even Rhea gets some hot scene in this second chapter?
DeleteI started my sentence with "Just about". ;)
DeleteAny idea HOW many pictures are left to render? That would temper our expectations for sure.
ReplyDeleteHi Shinra and Mpgrey, thank you for the last information on the advance of the depiction. Courage stand firm, it doesn't matter if the chapter did not go out this week, we can again wait a little, the patience is a virtue especially in art. It's been years now that I am a fan of this blog and what you are doing. Many thanks to you two and to the people who support you.
ReplyDeleteDo update us regardless if the images can be rendered or not. Nonetheless you have our support!
ReplyDeleteRe:the other comments asking for another pic preview if the comic isn't complete able this month
ReplyDeleteI don't think we should get any more previews at this point. Save the scenes we haven't seen anything from as a surprise for the final product. If anything, I'd rather get the portion of the comic that is complete right now as the main comic, and just have the final scene added as an "epilogue" later so there's no time crunch to get the last scene just to meet this deadline. If the last pics being rendered are climatic moments or don't make sense as an epilogue, though, then just hold off till April or whatever. Just my 2 cents.
Hi Shinra, whats the current progress of the scenes? How many scenes are left to be done?
ReplyDeleteHi Shinra, no rush in this release! You guys take your time, we can wait!
ReplyDeletethanks!
