Plans for 2024

3 min read

2023 has come to a close yesterday, and 2024 is already in full swing. There have been some good time and some bad times, loads of new developments for Eavitope and Gaze alike to make both worlds more fleshed out and more alive. And this year will continue these strides of creativity going forward, especially since it's coming up on my tenth year on DeviantArt, which I wholeheartedly plan to celebrate.


Plans for Gaze:

My sci-fi webcomic Gaze is still in active development. It's still in a very, very, very rough draft as of writing this journal, and it isn't likely that it'll start releasing this year. I want to iron out a lot more of the plot as I continue writing and thumbnailing. In the meantime, I hope to submit more art featuring the main protagonists, Avilia and Cyrus to further promote Gaze. I may also host a handful of QnA's and events starring them in my Discord server! Link here if you want to join and stay updated on that: https://discord.gg/cHfdqnMHhc


The World of Eavitope:

My fantasy setting has been in the works for roughly three to four years at this point, structuring it partly around DnD's mechanics and mostly out of a number of other inspirations. As of now, most of the pantheon and the main kingdoms of the Mortal Realm are submitted. Over time, I want to submit the final three deities of the pantheon (a couple have been very hard to design), the rest of the royal figures, and a handful of other characters I concocted for the setting that'll likely be featured as NPCs in my DnD campaigns.

In addition, I am putting all of the series set in Eavitope (Dare They Call Me Angel and Daily of Archfey) on an indefinite hiatus as Gaze is being worked on. For now, a handful of folks are able to experience Eavitope in the form of my DnD campaigns, which I hope to make art of at some point or another too; party members and little mini comics of their exploits.

I also have various documents about the Eavitope setting well in the works, detailing the various nations, deities, planes and races that can be found within the setting. When these documents are more fleshed out, I'll more than likely make them available for public view!


Fantasy Femboy February 2024:

Yes. I'm doing Fantasy Femboy February again. But this time around, things are going to be somewhat different. This year, I'm going to feature seven homebrew classes from community-made sourcebooks and independent creators, and have them and their various subclasses and races and options for the characters I'll draw for the challenge. Including Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms and Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting!


2024 is going to be yet another big year for me. Almost ten years I've been submitting art on this platform. A good handful of you have seen me grow from making Pokemon sprites into making entire worlds with my own two hands; you've seen me evolve and grow over the years and mature from a dumb, arrogant teenager to an entirely different and fine young man. And I couldn't have gotten this far without you all. All 718 of my watchers and counting, and all the close friends I've made on this site. I'll continue moving forward, and I'll continue creating for you all. Cuz you all are some of my favorite humans on this planet. :y


Keep on being awesome, Kenexandrite fans and friends! May 2024 and beyond be filled with good times ahead!

Plans for 2023

4 min read

With 2022 coming to an end, I'll say that this year may have resulted in a lot of content, some better, some worse, but I've fallen into a bit of a trap of producing too many characters/OCs without giving folks much of a chance to know them individually; submit one character one day, not elaborate further and submit the next. I've announced a handful of projects (I.E, a couple of webcomic ideas and the like) and never really fell through with them. For 2023, I plan to make a few changes going forward, and put my focus on a handful of big ideas and projects:


Gaze: After much hemming and hawing, I've ultimately decided to make Gaze my main webcomic project for the time being. It'll be a sci-fi space opera of sorts with much of that retrowave/80's cyberpunk aesthetic that you'd see in Katana Zero or Miami Vice, with more inspirations coming from 80's and 90's sci-fi anime like Cowboy Bebop, Akira and Ghost in the Shell. With it being my main webcomic project, I also plan to showcase a handful of characters I have planned for the series outside of Avilia and Cyrus. Expect to see a handful of faces from a particular old setting return. ;p

On top of submitting this handful of Gaze characters, I also want to draw more artwork featuring them rather than them just being one and done sorts of deals, since, of course, they'll be featuring in the comic.

In terms of the comic's release date, I cannot say for certain if it'll come out by 2023. Progress on writing it has been slow, but steady. I'm still in the outlining phase, and I wanna make sure I can deliver the best story I can muster.


Eavitope Going Forward: With Gaze being my main project, I don't have many plans to neglect Eavitope either. With me having a bias toward fantasy settings, I'll of course be chipping away at some worldbuilding regarding it, mainly submitting prominent world figures (nation rulers, gods, legendary names, etc.), maps and possibly a few character redesigns. I might also be drawing mini comics and portraits of a select few of my Eavitope characters to help people get to know them a little better, but without overshadowing Gaze's promotion. I'll still be submitting a tiny bit of miscellaneous characters for that setting, but they'll likely be far less frequent. In regards to the webcomics I have planned for the Eavitope setting, they'll be on the back burner for the time being. Though after Gaze is finally finished, I might start doing Daily of Archfey first.


Fantasy Femboy February 2023: I know I have NEVER fully finished a run of FFF, neither in its debut in 2021, or especially in 2022. For Fantasy Femboy February 2023, should people want to see it (I'll likely have a poll up to see if people actually want to see it come to fruition), I'll probably go for a slightly different format, whether it'll be a different race for each day, or how the character's personalities are handled. I'm not quite sure yet. Like I said, I'll likely have a poll up to see what you guys want. And I promise, I'll complete it this time.


ForDisplay2: That's right. I might or might not be delving back into the world of OCTs. Except this time around, I'm attending the OCT where I first started doing them. With ForDisplay being my first OCT, I've been long awaiting the sequel for a good handful of years. With ForDisplayOCT 2 finally coming out, I'm thinking about participating as a contestant. Whether or not I actually go forward with it remains to be seen, but I'll probably do it. Who I'll be using will be a surprise to most of you.



Well, those are the things I actively have in store for 2023 going forward! I'll probably get a thing or two up before the year ends. Until then, I hope you all have a good rest of your year, and a wonderful Happy New Year! ^^

Branching Out

1 min read

So, I've decided fairly recently that I'd be branching my content out to other sites outside of dA and Twitter. With so many people leaving Deviantart, I wanna make sure my artwork is out there for people to see should they leave and still want to see my stuff.


So here we are. Here are a few accounts for people to follow outside of Deviantart.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/kenexandrite

Newgrounds: https://kenexandrite.newgrounds.com/

Buzzly: https://buzzly.art/~Kenexandrite

So, I've ultimately decided that I wasn't gonna crowd my gallery with any adoptables once/if I made any of them.


So I decided to make a brand spankin' new adopts account by the name of Kenex-Adopts !!


Feel free to check it out here: https://www.deviantart.com/kenex-adopts

Don't worry, content for it will be up in a bit.

So, I've been slightly inactive as of late, and I can explain why.
I've been working on an RP group since late January alongside a close friend of mine. And construction is almost complete.
If you're interested, check it out! .o.
