World Design for Sunnie and Lunah’s Continent Winchest. One of the largest and lushest regions on Teragon. Unfinished of course hence the acronym WIP (Work In Progress). Will update again soon.

Over 3 weeks and I’ve only gotten this far with the Open World Conceptual Art. Kinda upset I haven’t made more progress but it certainly has detail for a landscape painting.

I’ll never do one of these again because its way too time consuming, the very reason I don’t do landscape paintings in the first place but this was very necessary. I pretty much had to.

[NEWS] Story Finalized

I told you guys that I would be making: - Sunnie and Lunah: Battle for Teragon (Full Length Animation/Comics)

- Sunnie and Lunah: Origins (Colored Comics)

I finished writing Origins before Teragon so I had a decent foundation. However BFT has just been finished and the story is 100% written and complete. The idea now is just to start breaking things down scene by scene so we can prepare for these: - Test Animations

- Quality Assurance Testing

- Advertisement and Promotional Content

With the Animation’s Intro and Outro. I don’t want to make an anime that looks bad so yeah. Now after I finish that we will move on to Sketching and developing the scenes and developing the 3D backgrounds necessary to give the animation some depth. During this we also will be pushing the animation further.

Development for Battle for Teragon starts this Summer. Please be patient and wait for more information to arise. You’ll be more than happy to see we have more planned for this Animation rather than just that. I’ll be launching the Q&A much later.

This is copyrighted. Legal action will be taken against thieves stealing assets.

Guess I should show off the Final Logo. Hope you guys like it. :)

And yeah don’t worry I have this anime under copyright. So its all good.

[sunnieandlunah-blog]

Its time. Meet Sunnie and Lunah in their art style. Looking forward to drawing these two individuals over 8000 times. Let’s get this freaking started!

[Weekly] Sunnie & Lunah: Origins

I am writing Origins before I do my final rewrite of Battle for Teragon. Long Reason short is because the previous version had very little self-understanding and a weird foundation to sit on. Writing a Prelude would allow me to expand the universe and give you guys insight to what went on before Zadus took in the girls. 

Right now I’m near finishing up Origins few more chapters left. But I have also drawn some characters so I can have more illustrations ready for Origins. Since Origins is obviously much much larger and will expand the character roster immensely its important that I draw the characters ahead of time when I have free time you will see them in the future.

As for my Art career my painting for this month is still in progress since I’ve uploaded the Line Art but I will use this week to do more Line Arts and Character Paintings for Sunnie and Lunah. Here’s a list of the things that are still in need of being finished: - Sunnie and Lunah: Origins Written Document

- Battle for Teragon’s Re-Writing (Eighth)

- Illustrations of Battle for Teragon Characters

- Character specific weapons

- 3D Modeling of the world of Sunnie and Lunah.

- Posing and Voice Acting Visual Media

- Preparations for Posing and Animation

- Posing scene by scene

- Animation of poses

- Video Editing to make everything look nice.

- Hire Voice Actors

- Finalize Battle for Teragon and flash it all over conventions

- Origins panel by panel preparation for comics

- Origins drawing pose by pose

- Origins Painting

- Origins Comic Release Schedule and Promotion

[Weekly] New Year, Schedules for Design.

Alright guys its been a little bit but I want to go ahead and be honest with you guys about where my work and updates have been. Sunnie and Lunah has been avoided because I wanted to get at least one artwork done but the thing is that I’m about to get that artwork done.

SUNNIE AND LUNAH BATTLE FOR TERAGON

Sunnie and Lunah Battle for Teragon is still in progress but I’m currently working on Sunnie and Lunah Origins which is a must to cement the story. I chose to do it this was so that I could add more context to the animation. 

THE ANIMAL KINGDOM

The Animal Kingdom is my new comic I’ll be working on while I’m doing animation. This comic is about anthros and and touches on racism and segregation as well as other things. The world is already defined since this comic will play as the prelude to some other content. This content will have some adult comedy as well as an interesting story.

MONTHLY PAINTINGS

I have some Scheduled Art coming but I figure I’ll do one a month until I finish Sunnie and Lunah’s animation entirely. Let me tell you....get use to it.

[sunnieandlunah-blog]

[Weekly] Planned Content

Hey guys I know its been a bit since I’ve updated the plan for Sunnie and Lunah Battle for Teragon but its imperative that you all understand that I have tons of work to do and also a need to balance out my scheduled content. I’m finishing up Puddin from Xenoverse 2 TFS series so patience.

In the meantime a list of things I have planned and that I need to get done:

20+ Character Sheets

20+ Weapons

Story Finalization in Writing

Once these things are done I’ll be working on the website. Getting back to the character sheets on Friday. Reason is because I need to focus on getting Puddin done, had to push myself today because I know that she needs that extra time. So next few days I’ll finish her up hopefully get some decent attention on my artist’s page. With that said looking forward definitely to having Sunnie and Lunah ready to go conceptually next year.

Have a great day can’t wait to update you guys at a later time with more information.

[Update] Taking a step back as a Writer, Animator and Artist

Hey guys another update for you this time this one will be something special, something I’m sure a lot of you will be excited and also frustrated to hear lol. So Let’s begin...

ANIMATION’S TESTING/CONTENT RELEASE

My Animation “Sunnie and Lunah: Battle for Teragon” very often referred to as S&L and BFT or the whole thing really, this animation is a very carefully planned out animation. I didn’t want to release the art style for the animation until the images I had ready were up to their fullest potential. This content creation is not easy, even for illustrations, which are referred to as the intended quality of content I had to make sure that stayed true and maintained its essence in what it meant. I was always scared or held back the release of any of the content’s actual quality. I want to say, its on its way but I won’t rush it. This entire process is supposed to be me creating awesome content that I consider high quality which is high standards for an artist, especially one who wants to set up a different art style inspired from his own.

WRITER’S WORLD

Being a writer is amazing, I’ve been doing this since I was around 13-14. Making comics, game concepts, games (crappy builds but you know) and overall just making stories.

I want to say definitely there’s a lot that ties into making a spectacular story, it has to be one with tension, immersion, and overall just an amazing world that the story is set in, these two need to be tied together.

So I’ve decided I’ve already built up the lore behind Sunnie and Lunah, but to make sure the story flows the way I want it, I need to start from the beginning, tie in a lot of easter eggs, secrets and stuff like that. So keep an eye out.

But it was about me making sure the story was captivating and built up that connection you want to see from start to finish. So I’ve taken the initiative to focus mainly on Sunnie and Lunah’s entire background from start to finish rather than at a sudden point and hope everything else fits together. I’m taking my time watching the characters, what they say making sure it fits their character and making sure that they develop also depending on age.

So rest assured from the work that’s being poured in right this second I’m focusing on all elements making sure I do what is needed to make this Modern Fantasy World work.

REMAINING THOUGHTS

I know a lot of people are patiently awaiting information about the girls and their journey but I need to make sure the quality comes first, this isn’t about money (Although greatly appreciated, especially as an artist) its important I do what I feel I need to do.

Sunnie and Lunah’s story and animation snippets will be revealed soon enough and for the people who want to support the comics or whatever crazy things we come up with we have a Patreon supporting also our other artists that work with us as well.

Finally I want to state, I could kickstart this movie. But...I dunno if I would want to, sure you could say well two different support pages just means that people can choose the way they want to support, but often it looks more like people begging for money. So if we do end up doing that, we need to be upfront about the project and let people know what’s truly in store for the content.

Thanks for listening, we will have more frequent and bigger updates soon.

[Weekly] Revision of the Revision x9 - Animation/Writers Work

Hey guys welcome back to another weekly update for Sunnie and Lunah this one will be quick and to the point.

STORY REVISION 

The final story revision will be in work Tuesday. Hopefully you guys are excited, there’s multiple things I’ll be juggling that day such as “The Flash” and “GTAV Online Bikers DLC” so lol I’ll make time.

Regardless its important for me to look into flaws, plot holes and other problems and I want to say I’ve been doing this for the past 13 months over a years time. Its incredibly important to me and this final revision will fix the smaller issues because the bigger ones have been managed over time.

I want to say definitely this Story will cover basic character backgrounds, it won’t be fleshed out for every and all characters that’s not what this movie is for. The movie is made to tell the story of Sunnie and Lunah and Sunnie and Lunah Origins will introduce you guys into the Important Side Characters and their background storylines. Speaking of the Comic Book.

SUNNIE AND LUNAH: ORIGINS

Sunnie and Lunah Origins is our Comic Book line, its meant to open up tons of potential Story interests behind the major characters and secrets behind story plots and relationships. 

Origins is meant to open up some amazing potential and also cover things we couldn’t cover in the main animations, with that said supporting our Patreon will allow you to see both ahead of time. Speaking of the Patreon that’s our next segment.

SUNNIE AND LUNAH: WEBSITE

The Website it planned to be huge, a place to find all Sunnie and Lunah content, grab your updates, have conversation, see illustrations and other art and also learn more about the world and plans for the future.

The site is meant to be more than just a one time visited site, because we wanted it to be important to “A LOT” of people we decided to debut our comics here, art here as well as our other content. The site really is meant to be a one stop place for everything related to the series.

Keep in mind that the website will also be designed by me, I’ve been designing websites for about...7 years. So it should do more than get the job done. I’ve also done “extra” work and made a complete custom font for S&L as well as some icons.

PATREON

The Patreon needs bonuses, small touches and fair use across all of our supporters. We’ve decided that the Patreon users can see the content links early, meaning they will get early access to specific content. Such as the full-length movie a few days early as well as the comic a day early.

We also have a ton of content including some badges to give supporters each time a piece of content is released. Support our Patreon for more of the stuff you love bonuses, exclusives and early access. Its all there:

(To our Patreons we already have....THANKS. Can’t thank you enough for the amazing support.)

[Weekly] Days Past

Hey guys welcome to the Sunnie and Lunah weekly update, we have some changes we would like to inform you guys about along with some upcoming publishing information stay tuned.

First up is the information about the missing information, strange how that works but Sunnie and Lunah is still in a very passionate development process however our main artist and creator and project manager and currently at the moment me....yeah. I’ve been starting back up my official artwork posts which means within the week I split the days between Sunnie and Lunah and my full artworks. 

What this basically means is that I have to manage two categories of content along with everything else we have planned. As you know the website is up and coming and is going to be published soon with the rest of the much wanted content. However because I am managing my other art as well I’m consistently practicing and building up things that will further my art career.

The past few days missed I understand were...light on content and information however just be aware everything is still running smoothly.

[sunnieandlunah-blog]

[Weekly] Website Build

We’ve been working hard at creating the necessary tools and art necessary for the website, we want to present you guys with a dark theme that also has a lot of shiny/metal accents.

For a professional view we also would like to make it dynamic and feel very in-tone with the universe of Sunnie and Lunah. To do this we need to make sure that the website’s key controls and functions also show that passion.

__________________________

We have built a Signature for our Sunnie and Lunah supporters and our Animation supporters as usual. Things like Animations, Comics and Collaborative content will be pushed by us and we want to see this content succeed.

Here’s the signature. Hope you guys enjoy the content we are going to show in the very very near future. ;)

[Weekly] Changes in Animation Quality and Concerns...

Hey there guys welcome to the Week-In-Update. I’m here to inform you guys of what’s been going on with the Sunnie and Lunah animation and reveal our plans officially for what’s going on.So let’s get down to it...

The Sunnie and Lunah Series has been officially copyrighted, this means not only can we monetize this content but we have all rights towards the content and that no one can abuse the contents purpose.

We wanted to make sure Sunnie and Lunah were safe to release and we needed to make sure that the many many people of the internet would not abuse “OUR” creation for their own selfish purposes, however even still we realize a lot of people won’t intend to do it on purpose or will still try so this was definitely a goal before any of it got serious.

_________________________________________________

Next up is a common issue, and that would be not only in animation quality but the overall animation build. We made some direct changes towards the content at hand, we decided to not only focus on smoother animations (hand-drawn) but also focus on quality in the sense characters look good and respectable and finally that the gigantic world got the much deserved quality.

This lead up to add a more in-depth effects system focusing on clashing, and other effects that would bring us a step closer to making this the Animation that not only looked good but felt good. We took an approach like this was a VG it needed to be smooth and transition nicely, the effects play a huge part in that and so many on-screen effects not only from actions but from just adding details from lighting, shadows, and other things would bring about a great change in the animation’s build.

________________________________________________

Now we’ve had some concerns over the work, but planning defeats confusion. We decided to take the necessary steps to engross our viewers with 3 words: Development, Purpose and Passion. We are reiterating that we are currently finalizing the story after its eighth-time being rewritten. The story was such an important part of this animation it played even a bigger role than the combat dare I say. So it was time to give the characters Purpose, this allowed people to see the character’s individual essences and understand who they are and what they represent. To understand your own essence, content and audience as a creator is key, it prevents you from making missteps in content’s development and change and separates the fans from the complainers.

It was very very important that all this comes together with Passion making such dramatic choices had to not only resonate in us as if we were in the characters shoes but make them relatable, that factor made it easier for us to realize what we wanted was not above what we needed. That passion had to carry over into every aspect which brought about the change in not only story, characters, the world but small things like effects and the purpose behind each and every decision.

Sunnie and Lunah is all about evolving as better people, changing, and putting aside our selfish wants to realise a universe that had inspiration from the greatest thing a human can accomplish and that’s understanding. Even so with this world in tact it all needed to feel connected. There’s no way for us to make these characters and this world fit together from their lack of expression. We needed reasons for actions, we needed actions with weight and a interesting flow of plot with the necessary passion it needs to drive the story where it wanted to go. It was about putting aside the failures each character made, the ability to realise your purpose on this earth, and finding that power and courage to do and speak what’s right.

I feel that’s the best way to explain what Sunnie and Lunah is and I can’t wait to show you guys some amazing stuff about the universe when the animation releases free of charge for people to experience.

[Weekly] Time to Update the Blog

Hey guys its been quite a while since we’ve updated the blog but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped just mean we’ve worked twice as hard. So its time to reveal all of our hard work including a lot of the art, planning and storytelling that will lead into this movie.

First Off We’ve been challenging ourselves to rewrite our content this includes the story which had a great foundation but weak execution. We’ve also taken the time to redesign characters which we will go into later, the amount of work has increased tremendously to the point where we’ve started finalizing all of our work so its going “Extremely” well.

Secondly It was time to take the iniative and push Sunnie and Lunah’s development time up. Because we’ve been working so hard at what we do, we needed the animation to be fleshed out meaning the concepts could no longer be concepts the time was now and we had to make the best out of it.

Finally We readied ourselves for the journey and as Lead Designer and the guy that’s taking all the steps needed to make sure this pulls through. I had some work on my hands, Making sure the Universe had more meaning we needed something grounded but not too far out there that it wasn’t understandable. We wanted something relatable and characters with the right development, putting ourselves in their shoes and vise versa we took the huge leaps to make sure quality was the number one priority.

So friends we can end off saying it is going well. And we can’t wait to see you at the stages where we debut the content for S&L. 

You guys are awesome.
