Vidard Corner News: June

Finally able to come back here, after one month of blog inactivity. There's a long explanation about skipping last month's news so I'll leave the link at the end of this post. More importantly, I'm back on track with new beginning too.

This month's news are mostly artworks I've done since the last post.

Themed Art Series: Puppeteers

With new method of how I want my gacha art project to go from this theme onward, I implement a new ranking system (from lowest to highest: ★C, ★B, ★A, ★S, ★SS). Unlike typical gacha game or any lootbox system in any game, I attempted to minimize the randomness of rank selection (it's pretty easy after I decide on it myself).

To put it simply:

• ★C - One-time free art for repeating supporter
• ★B - Private art raffles
• ★A - Private art raffles with soft pity
• ★S - Theme commission; private art raffles with hard pity
• ★SS - Custom theme commission

Also would like to say thank you very much on anyone participate this series! It was a great start for the next theme and new direction too!

Note: I'll explain more about my gacha project system on separate post later. 

Themed Art Series: Wandering Devil

 

 

This time, I have a set rule on rank selection to my OCs and the participants. Even still, I think I need to take note on important improvement to make my direction better next time on next series.

These are current characters (my OCs and participants) that I've drawn, but the series is yet to finish. Stay tune on next post!

Latest Artworks (Commissions)

Custom ★SS rank ft. Mavvy

Custom ★SS rank ft. Kyrint

With start of the project, I've received these commissions for highest ranks and I'm enjoying it a lot! It's like the feeling of able to pull very rare cards in the game.With that, these are current ★SS cards that I have right now.

Latest Artworks (Personal Works)

Summer ★S rank ft. Guil

Arabia Day ★S rank ft. Kokurou

Earth Day ft. Hakurou

Labour Day ft. Soda

On previous post, I thought I wanted to start up seasonal series, which is my OCs in festival or season held globally or locally (be it Christmas, New Year, Easter Egg, etc.)

But due to time constraint and in need to focus more on my project, I want to put that aside. I don't know when I'll come back with this idea again.

Art Fight '26

This year I'll be in team Tragedy!

For this year's Art Fight, I'm going to focus on my two precious children (my main OCs Hakurou and Kokurou). Some of my OCs might be deleted due to irrelevancy on how I'll use them right now (probably they'll back once I'm ready).

Beside my two OCs, there's other OCs that I still choose to keep first in case I'm able to update their quick references before the Art Fight begin.

As for the attack, I'm going to focus on quick chibi style only. It's not for portfolio showcase so I can mess up my workflow as I want to. I don't know about revenge but I'll think about it later.

Commission Slots Update

As for the time I'm writing this post, my slots are now in full capacity and I'm currently working on those commissions. I won't be rushing a lot this time since I want to improve my skill while finishing the commissions.

Current rate as for this month is USD65 / MYR200. With juggling the current slots right now, the rate gonna increase rapidly if I hit my commission threshold fast (both target slots and capacity).

Afterthoughts

Somehow I enjoy drawing back after leaving my part-time job, and I made a promise to not let go of the opportunity again. I thought I'm going to miss out what I've done on last month due to lack of update here.

Also, I have a clear direction on my project too, which makes me more pumped to finish them however I can. This is the first time once in a while that I want to make it real so bad. On personal side, my financial situation is going positive and I'm still recovering my mental health, after months of enduring the job that emotionally eating me alive (I don't hate the job itself but I have reason for leaving).

To end the post, I'm going to leave this link to the other post, regarding the reason why I didn't update anything last month. Hope you will give it another read if you don't mind me venting about it. Hat's off!
