I wanted to test out different lightings with this one so it may look a lil wonky

+ additional sketches to test out different expressions (hair floof hehe)

Lore! As I mentioned, I’ve been working on this comic during my lunch breaks for a few days now! There are lots of lore snippets I jot down for worldbuilding, and usually, I don’t share them but I thought you might like to see a bit more while I work on the game.

There are still more snippets that I’m not sure if I’ll turn into comics (because it’s a lot of work), whether to just leave the written bits, or maybe make a simpler comic to illustrate them. These include:

The outfit change Pierrot mentions

What goes through Pierrot’s mind the first time he meets MC

Some details about the Ticket Taker’s appearance

Explanation about Pierrot’s symbol

Explanation about the colors of the Fifth and Pierrot

A little comic this time! Since it’s only two pages, I managed to put it together in my free time the next short stories I’ll leave for the Patreons to vote on!

A while ago, I came across a beautiful piece of art on Tumblr, and it reminded me that you don’t really know what’s going on inside Pierrot’s head, haha. So I wanted to show just a glimpse of it this time, from the perspective of the very first day. Nothing too big, but I hope you enjoy it! Let’s just say their past isn’t exactly pleasant as you can probably imagine.

And here’s the artwork that inspired this little idea by @ytkydg

What is with this fandom and stealing creators' hard work? I see animations and art reposted on YouTube, TikTok, Tumblr, DEVIANT ART AND PINTEREST.

This is just disgusting behaviour. I've never seen a fandom worse at giving credit to people's work.

Why is it that people's animations, that they spend hours on, get reposted by some rando, and said rando earns MORE than the original person? Why is it that we all just... allow that?

Like, this fandom is so tightly knitted, ok? I can recognise just about everyone from the Tumblr space and have seen people come and go. We're so tightly knitted that it'd be so easy to come together and actually hold these thieves accountable.

I'm tired of seeing people stealing shit, y'know? Reposting it without any credit.

These poor artists, 2D, 3D, whatever, get their shit stolen because this stupid fandom just condones rubbish.

Rubbish like the MCSM AI slop. I watched this fandom LAUGH at AI slop that was posted onto TikTok and then regurgitated onto other platforms (Like Discord) ten times over. I thought that this fandom was about creativity, celebrating how we can all come together to make something cool.

But oh boy, we just HAVE to sacrifice our environment, jobs, hobbies and morals for our humour and entertainment. I hope you know that all of that MCSM AI slop was trained on my shit, by the way. Thanks for that.

We just HAVE to let these thieves run rampant doing whatever they want, reposting people's work they spent hours on, because ohhh it's a funny meme related to my favourite characters!! Who cares if this reposter stole it! Let's disregard the original person's hard work because I'm laughing!

Don't even get me started on how people copy other people's original works in this fandom.

This is just terrible.

Again, sorry for the rant, but I'm bloody pissed at this, and I'm tired of seeing it, and clearly no one else cares enough to speak up about it.

I'm lenient when it comes to people reposting my stuff, but it irritates me whenever I see someone else's work get reposted without their consent and knowledge.
