Is there a name for the art style you use? Made me think 'french' while I was reading through the quest proper, so I guess I was right on that front.

I don't think there's a name for it. I do pine after a lot of French cartoonists, so if there's some tangible French-ness in it to you then I'm flattered.

BAN no what are you doing in that video game, get out of there or Dane's gonna kill you

WIP obviously but I'm probably not gonna texture this for a bit lol

Also, for some reason it wouldn't let me upload the gif or link an imgur upload of it, so I had to link it and just take a screenshot, boo

I reccomend fullviewing this because for some reason the thumbnail cuts blank a quarter of the way into the turn lmao

he's fully poseable though, when I have some time to refine the texture I'll upload the blockbench file for you to play with

Sorry about the tardy update mates, I was finishing up the rest of my work before the big holiday break. I've got a lot less on my plate now, so I'll try to increase my output! For the holidays I'll post with (slightly) more frequency, and return to weekend updates in late January/February.

Speaking of, BAN BAN's not that far from turning a year old, haha. I feel like I should thank everyone who's been sticking with it so far, it's always fun to see familiar "faces" among the post IDs.

This quest has been a pleasant surprise, and has been way better and more exciting than I thought it was going to be.

I made the first post, but you kept me making more.

Going forward, I think I'm going to take a weekend off, then start running something short for fun--either a shitpost or an actual interlude for BAN BAN, I'm not sure which yet. Once that concludes, we'll be into the actual second thread. Thanks again for playing so far!!!

The concept of casualties include injured - it’s not necessarily that they’re dead, it’s that they’re out of the fight.

BAN's been one of the better protagonists in recent memory, and I'm excited to see what else he's got in him!

>>135668
for real, his spacey personality makes a really good balancing measure against overly-complex plotting from suggestors, and I'm liking the hints that picking combat options too often wouldn't be a good idea with his PTSD.

Huh, so is this thread implying Dane was trans, or is this a different Dane?

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.

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.

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

>>137669
that said, skin color does help the white color "stick out" more and makes 'em look a bit more obviously alien

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.

>>137674
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.

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.

The Major claims to be all-natural when it comes to her hair. Nobody questions it, at least not to her face...!

The only thing that comes to my mind when I see that pink shirt is what Vegeta was wearing at one point in the show.

<< 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.

Hey, nice to have you back!

Hey, any chance we can get permission to feature BAN as a cameo in the crossover Questden Duelist Invitational? Just as a quick one-off fanart or three.

Thanks!

Lovely story BAN. I gorged myself on it all day yesterday and finished it. Great stuff.
