It’s been 3 weeks since the last blog post already! Which is crazy because it doesn’t feel like it at all, hahaha! This year is running away without me, I guess! I do have a few things to talk about this time, though! =)
DGiacomo
First of all, DGiacomo! =) I’ve managed to make solid progress towards finishing the assets for the “DGiacomo BATTLE TO THE DEATH 3” (aka DGiacomo Third Tournament), which will be held over the course of November this year! I only have 2 more pictures to draw for the polls and they’re all set up ready to go come November 1st.
This year I will be hosting the voting polls over on Tumblr (as usual), but also on Strawpoll for those of you who read DGiacomo on here or on Comic Fury! When voting in November, please be sure to pick one site to vote on and only vote there as the numbers will be combined to find a result. =)
Once I’ve fully prepared for this event so we can all have fun with it over the course of November, I’ll be trying to get back to making new chapters of the comic itself! Whether I will be able to make enough to be able to start reliably posting again before Christmas, we’ll see… but that’s my goal… maybe to come off hiatus once the voting polls are done!
I’ll also be updating you all here on the event and the polls you can vote on etc. so subscribe to the RSS if you don’t want to miss them! I’ll also be posting about each poll over on Bluesky for those who prefer keeping updated that way/don’t know how to use RSS.
Originals – Bike Helmet Hero
Since the last post here, I’ve managed to work out a way to display character bios effectively on the “Cast” pages of the original story hubs! I think they work pretty nicely, both on desktop and on mobile, thank goodness! You can see the currently revealed characters for Bike Helmet Hero over on the cast page for this project by clicking here!
It’s currently home to Bike Helmet Hero’s characters, but also the characters from Bike Helmet Hero: Legends and Bike Helmet Hero: Origins… once I get around to actually drawing these comics, I’ll likely split them out into their own hubs. =) For those confused/intrigued;
- Bike Helmet Hero is the main story, set in 2013, following Chester Docherty, aka Bike Helmet Hero, plus the other heroes of the 3rd Generation (of heroes).
- Bike Helmet Hero: Legends is a prequel, following the stories of the 2nd Generation (of heroes) through roughly the 1990s and the 2000s.
- Bike Helmet Hero: Origins is an even further back prequel, following the stories of the 1st Generation (of heroes), mostly set through the 1970s and 1980s.
All 3 are important to each other and the 2 prequels do prop up the main story! Though they will be made AFTER the main story. ¦) Nevertheless, I love the characters and their stories a lot!
Also related to Bike Helmet Hero, I drew a couple of album cover redraws with the 2nd Generation heroes, based on Madness!
I’ve also added a few more pieces of art of Bike Helmet Hero that people have drawn for me to the extras page! =) Please do check them out!!
Originals – re:Peat
As I mentioned in the last post, I did actually make this project a logo! =) Success! (Now I just need one for Living Legend and Tiberius…) I’m hoping you all find it beautifully 90s. XD
I’ve also given re:Peat the same treatment as Bike Helmet Hero and populated it’s cast page with currently revealed characters! =) You can check that out, here!
Logo and cast page aside, Kenzie Webb drew me a beautiful piece of art of Davey which I SUPER appreciate! X) Thank-you SO MUCH, again, Kenzie!! I love, love, LOVE it!! You can see this art (as well as great art of Peat by others!) over on the extras page in the re:Peat story hub!
The Massive Bokumono 30th Anniversary Collab 2026
This project is still going strong, as I assume it will be into the new year, hahaha! X) We now have OVER 100 ARTISTS taking part in the collab! That’s more than took part in the original collab back in 2011/2012! Nice work, all! =D There’s also been around 282 characters drawn so far! Which is nearing the half way mark of the original set of characters I provided to draw!
There’s still plenty of characters available to draw, so if you’re an artist and would like to take part, please drop me a comment, as usual, on this thread on Bluesky! Be sure your DMs are open so that I can send you an invite to the project’s Collab Hub on Discord!
I’ve also managed to identify a handful more characters that I can reasonably add to the list once we’ve crossed off more of the secondary cast members! Technically, there are hundreds of named characters without “faces” from games like Island of Happiness/Sunshine Island, Trio of Towns… though it’s debatable whether it’s worth including them… there are some beta/unreleased Sprites from Minna de Bokumono with nice designs I’m going to add as unlockable bonuses though. =) And of course… the eventual unlocking of the alternate versions of all the characters who got redesigns in remakes! So it’s absolutely worth reaching out if you’d like to take part!
Since last time, I’ve drawn a few more characters for this, too! 3 in fact! You can see all of the art I’ve done for this, as always, over on my Art Gallery page!
Other
- Aside from that, I’m aware I still haven’t held the 2000 followers raffle yet over on my Bluesky! I still intend on doing that, perhaps after the DGiacomo Tournament wraps up as I have some Christmas related obligations I need to draw. =) I want prizes to be the best they can be, not crammed among other things, hahaha! Maybe it’ll be a 2500 followers raffle eventually. ¦D
And I think that’s everything! =) I haven’t managed to make any new plush, or rather, finish any since the last post, so no new fluffy things to look at for now… I’ve been making the most of no headaches and minimal dizziness by drawing, hahaha! I’ll keep you all posted on the tournament next month and the status of DGiacomo’s hiatus. Hope you’ve all been well! Until next time~
