Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 63

One of the artists I was on the waiting list for has been forced to cancel my commission.
It’s a little upsetting, but I completely understand their position.
I have been on the list for over half a year now, and their list isn’t getting any smaller between their free time, official work and commissions.
It’s sad because I was looking forward to it, but also, the concept I had set aside for them to work on has now been freed up for someone else to work on without me having to wait and hope.

So there’s a silver lining at least.

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 62

I thought things were going well but it turns out I’m rather struggling to adapt to working.
My mindset of trying to avoid problems and getting in peoples way is causing me to get experience slowly.
And due to my lack of experience and trying to avoid getting in the way, they’re perceiving me as slacking off.
I can see why it would appear that way, because I am trying to hide away from everyone else, but the reasoning is backwards.

I’m not hiding to slack off, I’m slacking off because I can’t find things to do without getting in the way.
And the one task they did deliberately assign me I apparently took too long doing, and I’m still not entirely sure how I could have done it faster.

I have six months of placement time guaranteed but I definitely think I will be going back to job hunting after this, and as it stands my anxiety for working has only increased.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 593

For some reason recently Rimworld has been trending.
Rimworld is a game I’d probably enjoy in concept but not have much fun playing.
The problem I have games with infinite freedom like that is I quickly find infinite ways to screw up.
That, or I end up skipping parts and then get bored because they’re more about the journey than the destination.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 592

The final art commission for my birthday is set in stone now.
Now it’s just a case of waiting for artists to send proof sketches and send payments.
Or just send payments for the ones I’ve worked with before.

I’m really looking forward to all the ones I’ve got planned for May.
And a couple of artists have expressed interest in ideas I have lined up for next month too, excited to see how they go when the time comes.
Anyway, here is Chapter 101 of Volume 5!

Fun fact: I used to use 101 as the generic number of choice on the end of usernames when they were taken.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 591

So today I learned that The Last Summoner has got animated.
I read the comic a bit some years ago I think, but I ended up forgetting about it and it seems the updates stopped not long after anyway.
I’m not sure how far I read, I think I remember them planning to siege a mansion or something?
Anyway, really excited to see more stuff getting animated from China! I hope their industry can take off.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 590

I just found out I have the day off work tomorrow, well today from your perspective.
Well it’s not quite a day off work, but I can work from home.
And since all I have to do is really easily completed it will save me so much time.
I basically only need to do similar to what I do here.

Anyway, make sure to check out Automata Maid! The new novel project here that I am in charge of rambling on.
I mean posting.

Automata Maid Chapter 3

So one of the artists I commissioned finally uploaded a piece I commissioned from them a while ago.
It’s probably my favourite piece I’ve had done so far.
You should definitely take a look.

Uh let me leave a link here.
Oh right some of you guys will be new here, hello again, I’m Robinxen again.
My hobby is commissioning art of the heroine of my unwritten novel.
Will it ever get written? Probably not.

Automata Maid Chapter 2

Hello everyone.
Well I’ll save you most the greetings, this is chapter 2 after all.
I’m Robinxen, those familiar with this site may know me, I’ve been in charge of a few projects here and around here.
A couple have ended, a couple still ongoing.
This is my third currently active one for now.

I actually have no idea what this one is yet. So we’ll be experiencing it together.
I’ll be your pre-chapter rambler like this, and your in-chapter commenter as I give live commentary while working.

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 61

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 589

Well, in other news it seems that I am now in charge of Automata Maid.
Looks like they will be two chapters a week, just after Re:START.
That bumps up my weekly posts to eight…
Hmmm I best start seriously thinking of some things to ramble about.

What is Automata Maid about?
I have no idea!
I should probably read the first chapter that is already out.
Actually you all should too, let’s go on this journey together.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 588

Continuing the topic of birthday things from my previous post…
Or was that another post.
You know honestly I lose track of what goes where these days.

I got two updates from artists today!
One of them has just started the sketch process, but they’re going to be doing a lot of redesign sketches for the commission they’re working on. Since they’re trying to collate all my existing art into a single purpose reference sheet for the character, going to be time consuming.
And another just took payment and has started work on the project, I don’t have the first draft sketch yet since they just started, but I am excited to see what they come up with in the next few days. They hope to finish before my birthday too, so let’s see how things go.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 587

The next time I ramble it will be May.
I can already bet that the first ramble I will make is about how my birthday is in May.
Or maybe it will be about the upcoming Stellaris DLC?
Hmmm I can’t actually tell now.

Maybe one of the artists will have contacted me next week about the work they are starting on too…
I might end up rambling on that.
Place your bets below!

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 586

So this week I will get my first payment from my job.
I have no idea why I feel this is newsworthy.
I guess I’m really stuck for ideas for my pre-chapter rambles these days.

I could talk about all the manga I am reading perhaps?
Well whatever, I think this enough for this one.

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 59

I added up the estimated commission cost and uh…
They got a bit insane for this month.

Japanese artist commission – Estimated cost 320
Cake scene – Estimated cost 300
Reference sheet – Estimated cost 225
Birthday banquet – Estimated cost 200
Submarine – Estimated cost 175
FFXIV dancer costume – Estimated cost 90
Total estimated cost for comms in May: 1310

Not cheap.
Well it’s my birthday so it’s probably fine… hopefully.
