I appreciate that the First Precinct is bound by red tape and procedure, and can't just cowboy it's way out of trouble.

...although a demon in the 80's doing Miami Vice antics might be fun too.

Cheers mates, I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. The life of a law-abiding detective is a hard but rewarding one. Enjoy some proto-BANs.

Many many moons ago I lurked tgchan and tried a few quests, it was a long time ago and I was pretty bad at it then though. I guess the secret to improvement was just doing nothing quest-related for the better part of a decade

Gotta say, I quite like this quest so far. I thought from the thumbnail it was gonna be a modstaff shitpost quest but this is just interesting well-written cop drama.

Keep up the good work, I'm engaged with this strange mystery.

I get the feeling STEVE isn't as much of an asshole as he lets on, either.

A bit of a heads-up, from here until mid-August I'll be in the process of moving out of my current apartment and into a new one a few states away. I think updates will stay pretty consistent throughout, but there might be a bit of a gap in August when things get especially hectic.

My reference to 'tubes' is intended to mean LAWs, MAWS, ATGMs recoilless rifles etc. I don't know exactly what's available, and the details don't matter, but this is the kind of mission we want it for.

Looks like summer's more or less over for me already, damn!! I was hoping to be a little more frequent with my posts, but I'm still happy with our forward progress. Even while shit's hitting the fan I should be able to keep up an update per week schedule again, and once winter rolls around maybe I can get a little more productive.

>>135975
I follow, haha. Each of BAN's squads grabbed a couple launchers in last week's post, I guess you could compare them to M72s.

Things are getting crazy again! This coming week will be particularly absurd for me. Ideally I'll have my life relatively sorted again by next Sunday, but if I end up missing that update I'll try to get an extra one or two in the following week.

Ban survived an angel trying to kill him only for the goverment to send a banana and a tomato to try and finish the job.

This adventure really is full of surprises.

Happy Turkey Day, gents! I wrote today's update in between some very intense cooking sessions. Next up, the annual food coma/binge eating regret party.

Today also marks the end of this interlude thread!! We'll be back into the investigation proper either this weekend or whenever the universe decides to stop railing me next.

>>136495
I can't unsee that now that you've pointed it out, haha. Sometimes I don't realize what kind of goofy shillouettes I've given some of the demon characters until you guys open my eyes, like BAN's secret existence as a capybara.

A day late but still Merry Christmas, happy holidays, etc. etc.!! I hope everyone got something nice, either from other people or for themselves, haha. I've been really sending it with traveling this holiday season, but I should be back in the city and on some semblance of a normal schedule by the time we get into the new year.

I remember back in the day there being that legend of the 'curse' for quest authors... I've spent the past couple weeks getting bitchslapped by COVID and my job back to back. Hopefully that's the full extent of my curse haha, that was a pretty miserable ordeal.

For your patience, regarde some Danes that I found in an old sketchbook during my quarantine/recovery period.

VERY long story short, I was in no way done with my curse, ahaha. One car crash and a *lot* of work IRL later, I think I'm finally safe to get back into our usual groove. My city's decided that today's when we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, so I guess I'm celebrating my return to this site with more whiskey!

Also, a bit of an interest poll--one of my main jobs IRL is as a musician, and recently I've started gigging on keyboards in addition to my main instrument. The new side hustle made me start thinking about putting together some kind of OST for BAN BAN, haha. If I recorded a few Phoenix Wright-esque tracks in my free time would that be something you lot would want to listen to?

I only got into reading quests on this site pretty recently, but BAN BAN is probably my favourite overall. I had a feeling when I was reading through that it had a very French style and character, so I can't help but find it a bit funny looking at this to confirm you are indeed very fucking French. Love your work, can't wait for the next update

The past month or so has been a shitshow, ahaha. But now I'm the proud owner of *3* pieces of paper with my name on them, so I guess it's all worth it! Now that I'm done with school for the rest of my life, let's see if my luck improves at all.

Much love for you lot being eternally patient as life continues to get weird, haha. I've written a couple songs for this little OST idea, but I'm in the middle of a huge move across the country, so recording them has had to wait a bit longer. I've jinxed myself a few times already but I'm going to knock on wood, update as I'm able and hopefully get back into some sort of stride in August or September.

Greetings from my new place!! Very exciting, but also incredibly stressful, ahaha. Job searching is not something that I missed...

In other news, I'm testing out what BAN BAN would look like in MS Paint-tier color--I'm not a great digital painter but it could save me some real paint, and maybe give you lot a bit more to look at. Let me know if you like it more or less than our usual greyscale business.
>>
No. 137669 ID: 398700

if you can find a good watercolor type brush and go for a slightly more painterly look with how you color it might work without any extra effort really, but the flat colors don't help it much and it might take some of that comic bookish charm your art's currently rocking

that said, skin color does help the white color "stick out" more and makes 'em look a bit more obviously alien

Hmmm, I have the same thought about it. In between existential dread/job searching I'm experimenting with different tools in Krita, what do you think of this? This brush pack feels a little better in my hand than the default one, I'll get some more practice in with it and post some (marginally) better examples later when I get a chance.

Dumping a few things from my sketchbook that I scanned and tried these new brushes on, let me know what you lads think. I think the texture fits a lot better than the flat tones, I might mess around with this for a bit if you lot are interested.

this one here has pretty much the perfect mix I think. Very simple colors, but enough texture and intentional flaws to them to maintain that hand-drawn feeling that makes your art work so well. I especially like how the coloring doesn't quite reach the lines in places, both as a highlight for the shading and as a way to make the art look more deliberately roughshod.

Very in-line with the themes of the quest, given Ban's department is kinda meant to be struggling and a bit imperfect.

There is something so adorably wholesome about Dane trying to apply for a kindergarden.

As an aside, does the mayor dye her hair, or does it grow purple? I..... don't know all the ruless of BAN BAN world.

I'm still a couple days away from being able to properly update again, but in the interim I do want to throw some of these little tracks that I've been making at you lot!!! On this link are several tracks that I made for different moments in the first thread and the interlude. I'll add to both of these lists whenever my free time results in more tracks. They're very rough but I'm having fun making them, haha. I plan to re-record/mix them all once I have a larger number of them put out.

<< Kept you waiting, huh? >>

Several months of IRL living/suffering later, I'm gainfully employed, (relatively) stable, alive and (relatively) well!! I won't jinx myself but I'm going to very tentatively start updating again, and hopefully finally return to the rhythm of posting once or twice a weekend that I was chasing like, a year and a half ago.

In other news, my gf gifted me a tablet that I actually feel comfortable drawing on, so I might experiment with working fully with digital for updates, moving forward. Very alien and exciting territory for me haha, up until now I've drawn everything with a pen and scanned it to add color. Ideally things won't look that different--this tablet actually feels good to draw with, unlike my old one.
