Dreams games

Finally working on my Grandia style fighting game in dreams for PS4. check back later for updates, but for now just enjoy this introduction video.

Lets go again!

 

Well just finished Missouricon, My first convention if 7 years! Had a really good time. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say Hi and buy some stuffs. Caricatures where a big hit this time as it always is.  Well I hope to do a few more soon. Maybe not every month but maybe once a season? For sure I'm not going to be traveling outside St. Louis anymore. That in itself was fun however I'm really happy with the job I have now and don't want to spend too much time on the convention thing.

Till next time. Enjoy~pyons

Missouricon this weekend!

 Well Missouri con Is coming up this weekend. I've been busy drawing and getting things ready. here are just a few of what I'll be selling at my booth. I don't want to post too much of what I'm selling because I want the people who buy it to be the only ones with the image. I really want to sell the "no other copies" thing this time. So I wont have any prints, even the t-shirts are all different.

Anyways if you find yourself in STL this Saturday and have some time to spare, drop by the Holiday Inn downtown and check out my booth.

See YA ~pyons

First con in how long....?

 

 

Hey gang Signed up for Missouri con coming this February. Can't remember how long it's been since I worked a convention but I'm pretty excited. I've been collecting frames to do some painting in. Look forward to some images of what I'm working on soon. Trying to do one off painted artwork so I don't really want to post everything, but I will show some of what I'm working on in the meantime.

I also don't plan on painting controllers at home anymore, so I went and closed both my Etsy and the Twitter I was using. But you can still find any of the cool designs I created at work on the website.

Anyway, hope to see you all in St. Louis next month. enjoy ~pyons

Good news for Book fans!

 We'll all I have great news, first of all I was surprised to see my subs pop up on the manga site I frequent for random manga. Honestly, I didn't expect anyone to want to do anything bedsides read these and move on.  I really only made them so I could read them then posted them here for safe keeping. But if anyone enjoyed them, I'm glad. 

But that's not even the good news, actually it looks like someone else has started translating this manga themselves. Finally, I can go back to reading manga without doing any work. 

So anyway, thanks for sticking with me even though I had random releases. A special thanks to anyone who managed to find my PayPal and send me money. I had thought about putting a donate link on the site but then I was worried I would have to work harder. But to the people who sent anyways much thanks. So, I hope everyone finds a new place to read their Bookworm manga. I've been busy with work and other unrelated art ventures and had not found the time to translate since.

I will try and remember to compress all my files into a master zip and post it later.

Anyway Thanks ~pyons

In the name of the Moon

This is the first design I did that made it onto the website. We really only had the Naruto character at the time, and I really wanted more anime inspired designs on the site.  It was first made for conventions but after doing so well it was later added to the website. I have even done the other scouts from time to time. But Sailor moon is the only scout on the site so far.

If you're interested in sailor moon controllers or just want to check it out visit the controllerchaos.com website.

the Joker

 

I'm sure you've all seen our Joker GameCube controller. It's one of our more popular designs. Back when they were making new Smash themed designs to update the old smash 4s, the graphic artist we had at the time came out with this super ambitious completely impossible to paint design. I wish I had the pdf to show you how ridiculous it was. So, I went ahead and used some of the assets he had on hand and created this one. 

I'm verry happy with the results and it remains one of our top sellers even with the top layer in Smash U switching to Byleth.

Enjoy~pyons

more Mermaid stuff

 

Well, I know I just recently posted about this one. I just thought while I was making fake ads for the controllers, I've done for controller chaos I might as well do this one too. I also really like this "The Little Mermaid" promo poster for the new Disney movie. 

Anyway, that's all for now Enjoy pyons~

Spider Gwen controller

 

Since I'm talking about controllers I designed at work. Here is a Spider Gwen controller I worked on back when the movie "Into the Spiderverse" came out. I really wanted to do Miles but my manager at the time wanted to do that one himself. So, I decided I wanted to do Spider Gwen also. I have always been a fan of her character design. I actually think most of the spiderman designs are some of the best costumes and alternate costumes of any superhero.

Anyway, at first, I wanted to put the eyes where the spider is but my manager decided it would look better with the spider. It turned out pretty good too if you ask me. The design is not one of our best sellers, but it does sell rather regularly so I'm happy about that. So, if you're looking for a spider hero themed controller, head on over to controllerchaos.com we have a lot of different variations but please give the Spider Gwen design some consideration.

Controllers for chaos

  

So, you're probably confused as to why I'm posting Ahegao pics instead of Bookworm Chapters.  Well, these are actually for a controller I did for work about a year or so ago.  You see one of our more popular designs is the Ahegao design created by one of our team members. He actually did a good job of compiling the images to make sure we didn't have any overlap with any other Ahegao designs.  However, the person who made the render for the website used a preexisting collage he found of the internet to make the renders.  Now we obviously used the original image to hydro dip on our controllers however someone who owned the image that was used for our website renders asked us to take it down. 

Well after that our boss was afraid, we could lose one of our biggest sellers. So, they asked me to make a completely new design but with all new drawings not just a collage of images found on the internet. The images above are just some of the art that I drew for the project. In all I drew about 60 different images to make the collage. I did just draw the faces however to save time and paper. 

However, by the time I was done the whole thing had sorted itself out. Once they realized we didn't use the same image on the controller that was on the website everything was fine. The did however keep my collage and put it up on the website. It is the Waifu edition, and they have it for all controllers. The original is still up and is the featured design so it may be hard to find mine. I am still glad to see it up there and people do buy it sometimes.

If you're interested in checking it out, you can find it on the site controllerchaos.com just type Waifu in the search bar or you can select the limited-edition tab from the controller you are looking for and scroll down the page till you see it.

Spring Anime 2022

 

Time for another anime list. These are the spring 2022 anime I watched till the end this season. Won't include any old stuff I watched for the first time on streaming and just stick to the new goodies. First is of course Spy X Family. Probably in line to be one of the best anime this year. The cast of characters where great and the balance of home and school life was well paced. I would have like it to be a 26 ep show so we can get more of Anyas school stuff. However, I am still pleased with how it all went down. If you're a fan of slice of life anime with action elements, I'd say it's a good bet you will like this one too.

Next is Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san, this one is purely slice of life and I love it. I think it might be a manga as well and I may have to look for it. But the story follows the title character and her clutz of a boyfriend. She pretty much spends most of each episode protecting him from whatever danger his incredibly bad luck sends his way. Mostly played to lighthearted I found every episode light and fun. Some of the side characters were also interesting to watch and made the whole series great. I recommend this if you like slice of life where the main couple isn't stressing over whether they should get together or not because they are already together when the story begins.

Another great show was Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu. I was skeptical at first when watching the trailer for this anime. I was sure the MC being armored up the whole time would mean excessive CGI. I was pleased however when the anime started that they kept it pretty tame and mostly just the action scenes had any noticeable CGI work. The show follows a man that was isekaid to another world as the avatar for whatever video game he was playing. Similar to Ains in Overlord he is a skeleton character, however this guy is just your average OP adventurer. He fairly quickly runs into a bust elf chick whom he then helps on whatever quest she is doing for the rest of the series. While I may have liked a more layed back story where the MC just does different quests all day, this was actually good itself in its own way. It's another Isekai but if you're not sick of them yet I recommend this one.

It's time to talk about Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari Season 2, just like the first season this was really good. It started with a pretty cool giant monster battle. That ended with the MC isekaing himself. I don't know how to talk about it without giving too much away. But if you liked the first season you are sure to like this as well.

So, I thought I would get to all of them at once this time, but it looks like I'm ready to finish this post for now. If you have the time, I recommend anyone who has liked any of the shows I have previously recommended watch these. I am sure we have simal tastes by now and you will enjoy these. I will try and finish the list with my next post, but no promises. I do also still have the next bookworm chapter to translate.

Anyways Enjoy~pyons

Vtuber custom controllers

 

Been working on some new controller designs lately. Mostly V-tuber themed I have Projeky Melody, Gawr Gura, and Pekora. I have a few more I want to work on so i'll try and have pictures next week.

Added the Projekt Melody to my ETSY. I can only do about 5 controllers a week so I may rotate them starting now. If you're interested, please check out my link below.

Cardcaptor Deck profile

I decided to make a deck profile video with the clow cards I created. It's a short video showcasing the various cards used in my deck and what some of the clow cards effects are. Please have a look and let me know what you think. 

You can view the cards HERE if you want to check them out and see what more of the clow cards are.

Chapter 8

 

Thats it! I've finally completed the skipped chapters. As you saw yesterday, I was sidetracked with my clow cards. But here it is. I don't really have much to report. It's a good episode and I hope you all enjoy it as much as me.

Custom Clow cards!

 

Remember those Cardcaptor Sakura Weiss cards I was making a few weeks ago? Well, when I was happy with how the cards looked, I went ahead and had some printed. I sent the files to Boardsgamemaker.com and they did a great job with the printing. Cards feel very close to Weiss standard, size is right, and the weight of the stock feels almost perfect. I'm going to sleeve them and try playing a few games with them when I get a chance.

Mermaid update

 Well, I was thinking of updating the next chapter of Bookworm today. However, typesetting 38 pages is taking longer than id like. So I will just put these pics of the mermaid controller I took today. As you can see it looks way better on the shell. I tried to take a pic of the rainbow-colored scales reflecting in the light. Not sure if it came out ok. 

Anyways enjoy~pyon

Mermaids and controllers

 

Well, they finally put my Mermaid controller up on the website. I am kind of conflicted about these renders though. I painted the controller from scratch when I was designing it so I wasn't sure how it would look on paper. I kind of feel like these miss the mark a bit. My main issue is that they were having trouble expressing the rainbow scales I put in the front of the shell. You actually can't see them at all here which sucks because I think it makes the whole controller.  I'm also curios as to why, they decided to make the PS5 trim white instead if continuing the image. I'll have to take some pictures when i get a chance so you can get a good look at them.

Well at least the back still looks really good. Anyway, if anyone is interested in picking themselves up a cool mermaid controller you can find it on the company website for Controller Chaos. I think they went ahead and made a design for every console. At least give it a look if you get the chance.

Season3 - Act2 end

 They Finished the last episode of Season 3 in Ascendence of a Bookworm today. This marks the end of Act 2. I'm so excited and can't wait for them to announce the next chapters. It's basically what I'm translating now but it would be great to see it animated.

Anyways about this season there was some great stuff in here. The traveling for spring prayers and the big fight against the devouring mob. We also got to meet Sylvester for the first time. Not as much Freida as I would have liked but can't win 'em all, I guess.

The last battle against the Head priest was also very good. I'm glad to see Main putting all her reading of scriptures to good use in learning her blessings.

I will probably re-watch the series again later this year. I just love this world so much. I'm also still working on that Weib Schwarz set so I need to recap and get some reference.

Well, if you haven't watched it yet I hope you all get a chance soon.

Enjoy~pyons.

Chapter 07

 It's here chapter 7, I'm almost done catching up to the chapters I couldn't find before. The next will be the last chapter 8 and it's a doozie, like 37 pages or so I think. I could check but not right now. I also notice a lot more people finding my translations lately. I do hope you all are enjoying them; you will have to pardon any mistakes as I am doing this myself with google translate. I of course read over all the translations to make sure the sound ok and in plain English, however some things just make no since so I just guess that stuff.

Anyway, that's enough non-sense from me. enjoy the chapter pyons.
