Yup, I'm soon done with the comic that I started on two years ago. Though considering the ideas for the setting started earlier it might be more fair to say it took three years to make, and I'm sure you all are aware that I wasn't able to finish it earlier due to drama that forced me to return the computer I borrowed until I got a new one.

But yes, I only got a few more pages and a new cover which should be more exciting or fun.

When it's finished it will be posted in full later on it's own Tumblr blog and Newgrounds but I will make an announcement on other sites like I said previously where you can give your feedback on it.

When that comic is done I also see what to do next. There's still The Mysterious Prophet but I do want to see if I will be able to work on a game too.
But I will say that sometime in spring I will be taking a vacation, which I hope will go well.
Hopefully you're looking forward to what I will do next, see ya!

I got done with a commission and an art trade this week and I knew that once both are finished that I would not accept any more for the rest of the month as I will try and focus more on my comic projects, both The Mysterious Prophet and the Heavenly Kyuubi pilot that I hope to finish early this year.

As a special note for the Heavenly Kyuubi comic, I will go back to previous pages and try to refine them, which includes shading them.
As for where I will upload that one, unlike The Mysterious Prophet I will only be posting it in full on Tumblr and Newgrounds. I was originally only gonna post it on a dedicated blog I made on Tumblr but as I saw that you can post a full comic on Newgrounds using the description I decided that two places wouldn't be bad.
I will still post an announcement on other sites when the comic is up (and the announcement will also be used for people who don't have Newgrounds of Tumblr to give me feedback).

I hope you all will do your best this month.

Welcome to another journal that could have had a better title.

Christmas is upon us and after that New Years Eve and I will say that this month has been good, aside from the fact that I got sick on the last days of November and early December, but I have gotten to work on a comic that I can update weekly in The Mysterious Prophet, which I hope you're all reading, feel free to leave a comment as I have worked a lot on getting it forth.

Right now I will have to focus on commissions that I got to work on even if I'm not sure that I will finish them all before Christmas.

I hope you're all doing well and if anyone feels like they want to gift me something, I got a Throne: https://throne.com/alexis_strype
Or if you got me among your Steam friends, then I got a wishlist there as well, or draw me something.
Maybe gift me a small amount of money with Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/cyborglucario
Whatever the case, it's up to you if you want to gift me or not for Christmas in whatever way is practical for you.

Let us also hope that next year will be better for everyone in the world!

Hello everyone. I would like to say that it has been fun trying to do monthly drawings which hasn't always been successful, especially these last few days when shift from November to December temperatures affected me a lot, making me sick for a day.
I did manage to work some more on the cover for my Pokémon comic "The Mysterious Prophet" despite still recovering from the cold.

Last weekend I went to my first furmeet in my city which was a good time in which I got to interact with new people while watching furry related movies.

As for what to expect next month? I will probably be focusing a lot on The Mysterious Prophet and also two Christmas group pics (maybe more if it's a commission).
If you want to give me a gift then you can look at either my Throne Wishlist or donate a few bucks on my Ko-fi. Your choice if you feel like or can do it of course.
https://throne.com/alexis_strype
https://ko-fi.com/cyborglucario

And as soon as I have finished The Mysterious Prophet then I will FINALLY get back to the pilot comic of Heavenly Kyuubi, my sci-fi setting with that superhero family featuring Inari, Kiroo, Dawol and their siblings. I hope you're all looking forward to it.

I would like to also make a comic version of Journey of the Gnoll Queen since that way I'm sure people will be reading the story, but I may not have the time for it depending on what's happening.

This has been this update journal, I hope you will all be doing well and that your Christmas/Hannukkah/whatever holiday you're celebrating will be good.

As the title said and I know that I could have made it at the start of this month but there was nothing much to report, and I'm still not sure if I got enough to report aside from trying to do daily drawings and streaming three times per week.

Look... I do appreciate whatever support I get but in recent years it feels like people care less about what I'm doing despite trying new concepts or slightly improving my art style. I just know that there are some who are interested in seeing my comics, I mean unlike my attempt at writing stories I will at least know that people actually read the comics since no comments on the stories I wrote makes me think that people just looked at the accompanying images and moved on. (Trust me, I wish I had the time to read novels and such)

If you choose to still support me that's good, just feeling uncertain about myself at times. You're free to join my Discord server if you want, just note that the link only lasts for 30 days and there's a good chance I won't link to my server the next months.

I'm still open for commissions if anyone is interested.

I hope you will have a fun and safe Halloween today, as for me I'm sure if will be good, I hope despite not being invited to any parties (but then again, I don't touch alcohol). I wonder if there will be any trick or treaters coming to me this year, it would be fun with them around.

And in the next month I will return to streaming after having taken a break from it yesterday (those who have seen me stream Castlevania: Circle of the Moon will understand), among the games I will stream is Dust: An Elysian Tale, it's been a long while since I played it and it will be nice to play it again after all this time.
Another game I will be playing on Fridays will be Divinity: Original Sin 2. I know that Baldur's Gate 3 is the popular RPG to play now but both games are made by the same developer, Larian Studios. That just means if I like the former then I will most certainly like the latter.

And despite trying to draw daily (emphasis on daily) my commissions are still open. And as an alternative to paying me through Paypal is to buy me gifts on my Throne wishlist. You know, if anyone remember that I did a donation WG drive with Tom Nook, well, any money from donations or commissions or the value of the gifts will go to that drive, I could always make sure I can save my money since I sure don't want to run out of money after those three years I have been living poorly.
But I have to emphasize that I'm not forcing anyone, it's just if you want to have a drawing in return (or just want to be generous).
Here's the wishlist: https://throne.com/alexis_strype

Feel free to tell me how you feel and until next time, see ya!

Hello there everybody.

First off I just want to say that I'm hoping to keep my streaming schedule consistent and that anyone who do get to watch them will have a fun or chill time, and as you might expect from my re-debut stream with Aria of Sorrow, I will be playing the other Advance Castlevania games after I'm finished with it. Considering that Aria of Sorrow is one of my favourite games I don't think the others will be as good, though I do remember Harmony of Dissonance to be good at least but it will be interesting trying out Circle of the Moon for what I believe will be my first time.
It's fitting that I would be playing some of the Castlevania games in October but since I will also be playing other games on streams I can't truly call it Castlevania month. ^^;

Oh and I need a new capture card, which I have on my Throne wishlist as a crowdfunding project since I don't expect anyone to pay full price for it for me. https://throne.com/alexis_strype/it.....5-934d3ec4a94c
Of course since I'm always open for commissions you may get a drawing from me if you donate a certain amount, if you want that is (the same goes for everything else on my Throne wishlist if you want something in return and not feel like a simp spending money on an e-girl).

And since someone asked me in my re-debut stream and I answered them then I will say it now. Aside from comics I will actually try to do some game development, which does include not just remembering from what I learned from game design in college but also some further studies when necessary.
It may depend on the day if I focus more on the game or any of my comics or if I will do some other things and that's including days when I'm streaming (which means you might see some game development or comic making on stream).

I don't know what else to say, other than I hope that October won't be bad for you all and that Halloween will be fun with lots of spooks and candies.

Now that I have a really good computer and two monitors I'm now in the process of preparing for my stream re-debut on Twitch, which might happen next week, I still need to pin a proper date for it but I can say that it will start at around 20:00 (8pm) CEST or your equivalent timezone.



I haven't even decided on what game will get the honour to be played during the stream. Might be Minecraft or Sengoku Basara (I just hope that the capture card I got still works, but I do have a new capture card on my Throne wishlist in case it doesn't work: https://throne.com/alexis_strype) or random games.

I will make an announcement about the time when posting my weekly stream schedule.

Now to makes sure that it will be possible to stream on the days I have in mind and that there's no other obligations I need to do during those days.



I might also be able to do art streams once I get a drawing tablet for the computer since as it turns out, you can't use a Samsung Galaxy Tab to draw stuff on the computer.



I hope you all are having a good time and while I can't force you due to your own obligations and such it would still be nice if you could be watching my streams. :3

Well, a miracle happened and I got a surprisingly big help when it came to getting enough of a push to get more economically stable

For everyone who has supported me these past months, I really mean it when I say thank you from the depths of my heart and I hope that I can continue making you all happy with the things I do!
Trust me, that things would turn around for me were unexpected (thrown me out of the loop even) and I'm aware that trying to explain those things without going into too much detail can sound wrong, even if I said that the donation goal was to help me save for a computer and not that I would be able to buy it as soon as the goal has been reached.
I do worry despite having been open about that, there may have still been rooms for uncertainties and I do want to apologize for that, but your help has still helped me these last months, years even before I did any donation drives.

I even spoke to friends about it and as long as I'm clear we will all be fine. I may change the donation goal though to be for something else like getting me something else I could need for art and development or more of a generous fun thing to go for to see how far I will get with Tom Nook.
It's still voluntary and there's no forcing you. I always want what's best for you and that you things will be good or get better depending on how you have it.

Love you all from the gnoll queen and the cybernetic Lucario superhero (and the rest of my sonas, and my irl self ofc)! 💙

It's something Inwould have said yesterday as I was posting the comic with Roxy but I did finish the script for a single episode comic which I will be drawing as soon as I have gotten feedback on the script.
And I would have done it a long while ago but I needed a placeholder until I'm able to work on the Heavenly Kyuubi pilot comic again, and I may get to do other comics I have thought of, but as anyone who tried to make a comic knows, they take time and effort and while I can't force you to fund it, you're still free to to support me on Patreon if you like the comics I made and want to see more of them.

The single episode comic I talked about features Cyborg-Lucario and some of my other Pokémon characters named "The MysteriousProphet". Originally I was gonna make an origin comic, which will still happen eventually.

The two higher rank memberships are able to have one of their characters make a cameo in any of my comics (as well as a discount on commissions). I know that I have permission to have my friends characters cameo not only in drawings but other drawings as well, but if they do choose to become a Patreon supporter.
My Patreon can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/CyborgLucario

Here's a list of comics I'm either currently working on or planning to work on:
Heavenly Kyuubi pilot comic: On hold until I get a new computer
The Mysterious Prophet: Script is finished
Cyborg-Lucario Origins: Script is in the work and may end up being four episodes long
Journey of the Gnoll Queen: Reworking the story I have written and posted so far for a comic. I can't say how long this comic series will be
Magical Guardian Magus Doe: On hold until further notice
Roxy comics: Gag based comics showing off the characters of a possible Wario-like game I would like to make
Galvantula-man: A possible four episode comic about a Pokémon version of Spider-man
Pokémon Wars Transformers: Another possible comic about the fight between Maximals and Predacons on the world of Pokémon but I don't know how long that will be
Ultraman Bifrost: A possible short comic of an Ultraman series but set in Sweden

The latter three while being fun ideas may not be something that gets the most priority unless I ferl like doing something fun.

What do you think about it? Any comic in particular that interests you?

To say that I got a lot of comic projects would be an understatement, not only do I need to finish the Heavenly Kyuubi pilot comic once I get a computer (since the finished pages are on external hard drives I can't access without one), I'm also working on the scripts for two different comics for Cyborg-Lucario, one detailing his origins and another that takes place more in the present.
Not to mention Magus Doe which has it's fourth issue currently on hold.

And now I'm thinking about redoing Journey of the Gnoll Queen as a comic. I don't want to call that story a failure and it has more to do with insecurity/paranoia but the reason I'm slow with updating it has not only to do with writers block but it also has to do with me not knowing what people like about them or if they even read what I have written and just looks at the drawings and faves them.
That would also let me make some improvements on the storytelling as I actually can show what Alexis and others are going through.

Also, I I did work a little on the script for a Galvantula-man comic, but despite all the ideas I have sketched for it I think it would be best to make it a one-shot, but it could happen that I would need to do this comic in four chapters if the story requires it.
And I also feel tempted to do some kind of Ultraman comic since Ultraman is cool and the currently running series Blazar is peak so far.

In either case, I hope that whatever comic I will make can be enjoyed by you all. And I hope it will not get too stressful for me.

It's August and well, as someone who tries to save money despite bills I haven't had the chance to see any movies at the cinema these past months and even if I'm able to get a new computer I would probably be saving money for a vacation.

You can still take part in the current donation drive if you wish to help me in my goals of getting the new computer. Not only do I need that to finish the Heavenly Kyuubi pilot comic I started on last year but also for possibly other work stuff and to play some games, especially games that friends have gifted me on Steam.

Speaking of jobs, yes I do try to look for jobs but so far I haven't been able to find any that works for me yet, and sadly for someone with autism, what jobs I can get is limited and even if I didn't have that or some disease it would still be hard since they expect experience that I may not have enough of.

I have also had the thought of either changing the €1 tier on my Patreon to €2 or keep the €1 but have it be more of a tip jar while the rewards tied to it will be moved to the new €2 tier.
I'm aware it might scare away people more than it already does, but the economy is rough...
Whether you agree or not I still hope you may get to support me: patreon.com/CyborgLucario

Here's a direct link to my Ko-fi if you want to donate or commission me: https://ko-fi.com/cyborglucario

And yes, I notice that I don't write journals that often. Does that make me boring?

Hello everyone, I have now an eBay where I will be selling my old Pokémon cards starting with the original base set from 1999. Other sets will be up soon (either the Jungle or Fossil set).

https://www.ebay.com/itm/166234542184

I may be having a donation drive (you know the deal) but I'm also participating in Art Fight.
I hope to be making some good art.
Do follow me if you feel like it: https://artfight.net/~Cyborg-Lucario

It's July now and where to start?
I may have some drawings to finish but I do want to continue writing even though it can be hard to get the motivation to do that.
I know that people seems to like my story Journey of the Gnoll Queen, but I haven't really gotten any comments on the parts that have been posted which makes me uncertain what about these parts it is that people likes or if they just looked at the art and faved without reading the story.
I know that I'm not always commenting, but I do want to get better at that.
For those who had read my stories so far, what about them do you like?
It would honestly help motivating me.

On to other things... there's no beating around the bush, despite Redbubble and Teepublic recently getting unfriendlier to smaller artists but I should try to at least get more merch up on those stores. Anything will be helpful since I haven't found a job that works for me yet.

Speaking of which, the donation drive will still be going since I really need to get to get a computer to finish the pilot comic for Heavenly Kyuubi. The finished pages are stored in one of my external hard drives and it would be difficult accessing them without a computer. X_X

I also want to return to streaming and making a big "relaunch" as the gnoll queen Alexis. C-L and other sonas/characters will still be used in some way during streams, I just hope that it's something you would like to watch, but I understand if timezones gets in the way
I will be streaming games and also do art since Twitch seem to have lighted up regarding what you can do on stream, but we'll have to see.

I just hope that I can find the motivation to do what I really want to do, your help is appreciated.

First off, I really want to thank everyone who has commissioned me so far and has helped me with bills, but I still have few bills left that happens to be the most expensive and are due in two days.

While I would ask for more commission (you're free to ask me for one), I also would be really thankful if you were to donate through my Ko-fi as part of my donation drive. For the next parts, Isabelle will appear to help Tom Nook out, but I will only draw those when each of the milestones are met.
Direct link to my Ko-fi where you may donate as much as you want: https://ko-fi.com/cyborglucario

And I would also like to remind you all that the highest donor of each part will receive a bonus pic, which will be ten of them that will either be done during or after the donation drive is finished.

In other news, because of the latest epieode of Helluva Boss I feel even more tempted to try my hands at making a hellhound as my hellsona. Not to worry, I will still be drawing more of my Zelda OCs including my Zonai sona Lexai.
I will also try my best to find the time to write more of Journey of the Gnoll Queen and hope that it will be finished this year.
And I did start writing the script for a comic in May about Cyborg-Lucario and his supporting cast, which I also need to finish.
Oh boy, I sure will be busy, which means that I most probably won't have any time to RP (which I don't even do with just anyone), but I really hope people won't see me as anti-social because I don't like when people call me that and guilt tripping me doesn't make me want to spend more time with them.
I know it may sound harsh, but letting people do that to me may have been one of the things that caused me to become nervous these past few years.
Sorry for that sour note at the end, but if you have anything to say about it, feel free to comment, that way I know that you have read it.

I really hope by the goodness of your hearts that you will be able to help me out, thank you!

I need to make a reminder that I got a donation drive and that I know that my watchers would like to support me if they could afford it (especially if the goal is to help me get a new computer).

Hello everyone
It seemed like everything would turn out fine, but sadly bills came along, a lot of them, and that was around the same time I decided to do a new donation drive, which you can find in my gallery.
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52332924/
I would be thankful for the help, but commissions also works out well (and if you want, become a Patreon supporter)

If anyone wonders if I will do any special art for this month, then I sorry, I have no idea what to do this month. And also, despite being bi, I don't like walking around with it lile a label, because being bi is simply what I am.
However, I do have plans on remaking old drawings of mine, and I mean really old like my first few years on da and fa where I had a mix of hand drawn art and ms paint pics.
Talk about a strong comparison from back then to now.

If nothing else, I hope you're having a good time, and I also hope that there will be a time where I don't have to worry about bills while saving for a computer.

I plan on doing a donation drive next month to help saving up for a computer, but until then I need to do commissions to pay for the bills I got (and it's a lot), which you can do through Ko-fi (you may still donate if you want).

Spreading the word would be appreciated. 👍
https://ko-fi.com/cyborglucario

Hello everyone!

It's past the middle of May and I'm happy to have a my insurance but I still would be thankful if people commissioned me since as you may know, being an artist is technically my job (I think there is a certain threshold for how much you need to earn to have people consider it a job).

I do still have a Patreon and if you haven't seen it, some perks you can get like with the highest tier giving you either a line art drawing with no extra cost or 50% on any other drawing.
Like you would save €10 on a fully coloured with two characters in it.

I have had the thought of making a new donation drive through Ko-fi but I'm not sure if I should be using one of my own characters or one from a franchise that I like, and also, I'm not sure I got the charisma to get people interested in donating for the goal to get a new computer, but do you have any suggestions?

And work can get slow as I still haven’t finished the script for a one-shot comic featuring my Pokémon characters and part of that is due to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Man, this game is really great even though I have only gotten to finish one of the dungeons but that's because of the side quests and everything you can find by exploring (makes me wish that Game Freak could have gotten help from a studio like Monolith Soft when it came to open worlds), not to mention finding the titular tears.
And it might be an early game spoiler but Rauru is hot!
I hope anyone who's playing it is also having a good time.

Now we're coming to something many have been talking about, the rules of the site about minors in drawings and how they're portrayed.
Like I'm happy they clarified that short stacks and cute adults are still allowed, as long as they're still designed as adults and doesn't lookmlike children.
That should hopefully get the pedophiles to leave the site.
I do however understand why people would be concerned about Pokémon and Digimon being subject to investigation and reason for banning, which well... in my honest opinion as long as we go by character it shouldn't be hard to make a Pokémon or Digimon look and act adult, though fully evolved are still the best. XD
But honestly, considering that Dragoneer's fursona is a Digimon species he himself made, it would be weird to ban any Digimon art, which means that it's poor wording on their part.

I'm not going to leave fa as I know it's all subject to change but if something were to happen to my gallery you can find me in these places:

Until next time, see ya!

After three years of work practice (which shouldn't have taken that long if it wasn't for the pandemic) I finally got my insurance approved by the Swedish Social Insurance company, now I don't have to worry about the ones at the commune giving me less money because of commission money or simple transfer between friends and family.

Admittedly, even though I'm happy to have a proper income I can't exactly take pride in how it's difficult for me to get a job since (I may not have said it before) I have a hard time focusing a lot of times, gets distracted and I'm not the best planner.

But hey, I'm happy that it got approved before my birthday, which is (as of the writing of this journal) in five days.
I don't ask for much, and IT'S JUST A SUGGESTION but if you want you can check my Throne wishlist for things you could gift me:
https://throne.com/alexis_strype/wishlist

Or you may draw for me if you got the time. Which is just simply another suggestion because birthdays and Christmas is the only times I will ask for art because those times are special and I wish to commission others if I want art, which I hope that I can do soon, but also while saving for a computer.

But honestly, do whatever you feel like. Just saying happy birthday is good enough.
And I do want to make it clear for the third time that it's just a suggestion since I don't want to put people through the same things I have been going through, even if those were in private.
I honestly wish that I could say no easier no matter whatever excuse those asking me for free art may have.

Even though I got my insurance approved, I still need to get money to make sure I can pay for my bills, and I would say its quite urgent: https://ko-fi.com/cyborglucario
You can either commission me or just donate on my Ko-fi.

If you have read all the way through, how are you doing? I hope you're doing well.

How do you do? I'm doing fine, despite the fact that I still got bills to pay and as you may have seen in my gallery I got a new price list and if you’re able to commission me, then I would be very thankful if you sent me a note (if you got me on Discord, feel free to contact me over there).

I'm also planning on making a shorter comic featuring Cyborg-Lucario and friends, and I'm close to finishing one of the new characters that will appear in it, however, they and any other of the characters who will first appear in that comic will probably only be posted for everyone outside of Patreon to see once the first few pages are done but in the meanwhile, please support me on Patreon if you really care for my art (also because I still haven’t managed to get a job (and it would be good to have more people who could vote on Patreon polls)): https://www.patreon.com/CyborgLucario

I do hope to watch the Super Mario Bros. movie, but it's a bit hard to be watching movies at the cinema, not only because of the bills I need to pay but as you’re probably aware no matter where you live that tickets are getting more expensive, I’m just glad the cinema in my city haven’t implemented the stupid ban of taking your own snacks and drinks with you.

I may be doing most of my status updates on Twitter, but it's good to be making sure I can tell people here how I'm doing and if you did read this journal, please leave a comment and I hope nothing bad is gonna happen (or worse than it already is).

An unexpected bill came. I really do not need those!

Some commissions may help.
https://ko-fi.com/cyborglucario/commissions

Or if you rather want to support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CyborgLucario

And in other news, I'm slowly reworking my Discord server and compiling my projects to make it easier for others to follow.
