Dark Horse/Crystal Lotus Chronicles
Videos pertaining to the Dark Horse web comic, which is part of The Crystal Lotus Chronicles. Topics of discussion in these videos primarily revolve around Dark Horse, characters, related projects, world building, etc...
Dark Horse is a post-apocalyptic fantasy set in the Pacific Northwest.
Demons, faeries, and humans clash following the fall of modern civilization at the hands of a genetically engineered pandemic at the turn of the 21st century. Dark Horse follows the story of two teens, and the allies they meet as they're dragged into a battle for the future of human and faerie kind.
Join them as they navigate their new found powers in the
post-apocalyptic wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. Dark Horse is part one of The Crystal Lotus Chronicles.
*While a part of the Magical Girl (Magical Person) Genre, Dark Horse tackles adult subjects and themes. It is rated mature.
It's time to work on another character desi-oh wait, I feel like I've been here before. Oops!
Sokay, I didn't like how I'd previously designed Rhina's outfit/hair for the Aradia Beat '90s zine, so here we go! Gonna redesign it and babble about the influences.
*Dark Horse, and by extension this video, is targeting an adult audience! Dark Horse has violence, language, nudity, and sexual situations*

Yeee-up, it's the Q & A. I answer a couple Dark Horse questions, and I have a few questions about different art supplies and technique. Ink session this time is of the cover for Act 10: Awakenings.

June is Pride Month, and I try my best to do at least one video to celebrate annually. While I've discussed Rhina, Niki, & Xue Feng (the later two have yet to be introduced into the comic), I haven't talked much on Kanna. In this video, I'll explain why.

It's been a little while since the final page of Battle Royal has posted, so I decided it was time to go into some details about my intentions, my struggles, and my attempts to portray a visual I previously feel I failed at in the original incarnation of Dark Horse.
As I've said on this channel before, I think it's good to have a fair, but also critical eye on one's own work. So when I look back on older pages, I'm fair to myself, but also critical as a means to help improve.

**Whoa! Big correction! I called a character on the cover "Kate Blast," but it was actually Ashley from Alter Girl!

Okay, now onto the regular description.

Comic Fury Zine, a free comics anthology, is currently in the works for summer 2022, and I decided I'd go ahead and create my own one-shot for Dark Horse. In this video, I work on the cover art for my submission. I discuss my influences, process, and intent with this short story. During the video, I sketch, collage, and ink the cover art.

"Song of Mirrors" and "Your Suggestions" by Unicorn Heads
Apologies:
*I like iMovie, but it has some really annoying quirks! I had updated the credits card, but if you click out of it or don't click out of it (there's something I don't know what, or I'd stop doing it), it will not save your changes D: I'm sorry there's no credits in the video proper :( Ultimately, this was my fault for being in a hurry and not paying attention to details. I apologize. FYI: Credits are always listed here in the description! *
Got lots of questions about Shimiko, from my comic Dark Horse. So let's answer some of them! There's also a few updates on the completion of the revamp of Act 9 and events.
*Dark Horse, and by extension this video, is targeting an adult audience! Dark Horse has violence, language, nudity, and sexual situations*

Hey! Some of you may remember back in 2019, when I first colored this page for Dark Horse. I've finally reached this image in the revamp, and I thought it'd be fun to do a compare and contrast. One thing that I find valuable is something I've learned from my art courses: it's GOOD to look at your own art critically, and evaluate what you did well, and what you can improve. So this retrospective is just talking about the good and the bad of the old image, and demonstrating some ways I *feel* I improved upon the page.
And of course this is all subjective, and my opinion may change three more years down the road, but hey! We have to meet ourselves where we are, be critical, but also supportive of ourselves :)
If you can't take your own critiques, then you're not going to handle the real world very well XD XD Although, it's true we are also generally speaking our own worst critics XD

I'm sorry this is late again. With no option to schedule videos, and everything being so busy right now, these are probably going to be a little late as rule of thumb. I'm sorry for that! I anyone knows how to schedule in advance, please let me know!

Let's answer some burning questions! Or just warming questions.
Okay just questions. Enjoy this month's Q & A!

"Drifting at 432 Hz," "Early Avril," and "Vital Whales" by Unicorn Heads
Greetings groovie people! After much deliberation regarding what my first video here on BitChute should be, I decided I'd go ahead and upload the introduction to my free NSFW web comic, Dark Horse (you're gonna hear that a lot in my videos. It will be an annoying trope, I'm sure).
Enjoy this little advertisement for Dark Horse! The music for this was wonderfully gifted to me by the fantastic Thomas Nelson. Great musician, and contribution to the Aradia Magic Girl Collective! Thank you T. Nelson for the music! It is gorgeous!
You can support him at:
https://unredactedproductions.com
https://unredacted.bandcamp.com/
The poem is read by my amazing partner, Brad Arnett. He is the most supportive, beautiful soul I know, and I love him dearly. Thank you, Babe, for reading this for me!
