Hi everyone! We're back with another update!

Last time we offered a look at Cecilia in the upcoming season of BARBAROUS! This time we've got Leeds. His shredded clothes will be back, but we wanted to open the next chapter showing some of Percy's influence rubbing off on him. His joggers that look a little more designer, and the deep V tee is meant to show off. 

As mentioned previously, I've scripted out the majority of Season 2 and collected many of the references we'll need. Yuko's been diving into design and pre-production, and also exploring some new tools in Clip Studio Paint. I'm likewise training up on aspects of Clip Studio myself, to assist in writing and thumbnailing more clearly. 

So what happens in the meantime? In March and April we'll be running two more side stories. March's story will feature Percy and Leeds and will be drawn by Niki Foley. April's story will feature Percy and Lumia, and will be drawn by Kat Fajardo. We're really big fans of both of their work, and are really excited to be collaborating with them. Definitely check out their work!

Hi everyone! We're here with an update!

After working through a lot of freelance the past few months, I'm happy to say we are well into development for Season 2 of BARBAROUS! I've scripted out the majority of it and gathered up many of the references we'll need, and Yuko's been diving into design and pre-production. Yuko's been learning some new tools as well, so that is pretty exciting. Our process has become more and more formalized over the years, so things are moving along at a steady clip! You can see Cecilia above-- she's one of several characters who we do wardrobe for in advance. 

So what happens in the meantime? In March and April we'll be running two more side stories. March's story will feature Percy and Leeds and will be drawn by Niki Foley. April's story will feature Percy and Lumia, and will be drawn by Kat Fajardo. We're really big fans of both of their work, and are really excited to be collaborating with them.
