Yeah, let's talk about those little sumbitches. Also because I'm tired of seeing that old Christmas post here, I need to freshen up this page a bit.
Anyone here into Amiibos? You know, those little figurines Nintendo have been drip-feeding us for a few months? I like the idea of Amiibos. Not so much as figures you can use in Smash Bros. for Wii U as this is quite the gimmick to me, but more the fact that they're fairly high quality figurines of emblematic Nintendo characters and which are actually collectable. That was the appeal I found in them. Thus, I started a collection. Boy I was in way over my head.
I don't know if you guys have been following this closely, but collecting Amiibos right now is pure hell. At least in North America. Shipments are scarce, quantities are really limited (mostly due to a port strike occuring on the West coast but also Nintendo who planned this all wrong). You have to pre-order almost everything in order to assure you a complete collection. And if you didn't pre-order in the first 10 minutes of their availability, well you're stuck with nothing. Then you have to either order from Japan at $30+ each figurine, or turn to scalpers who inflate prices often over $50 for the rarer Amiibos. This ordeal is both time-consuming and expensive.
BUT STILL OMG THEY LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER I MEAN LOOK AT THIS DOESN'T THAT MAKE YOU WANNA BUY THEM ALL.
Screw you, Fox McCloud. Your delivery is dragging, you're not part of the family picture.
So yeah. Anybody else going through this? Any interesting stories to tell?Any inside info on when wave 4 will be available for pre-order? Let's discuss Amiibos!

The T3LP book is now online + summer cons
After what feels like an eternity, the new T3LP book is finally on my website! I also took the opportunity to add several of my newest designs onto my store, so feel free to look around, maybe you'll find something you like! https://bourgy.net/shop I'll also be attending several cons in Central Canada this summer, so if you scroll all the way down, you can see the dates and events where I'll be hanging around! I'll have all of my merch, including the T3LP books, available at my table, so come say hi if you're in the vicinity!
Online store is up!
I forgot to mention it, but now my online shop is up and fonctionnal! If you've wanted to purchase stuff I've made throughout the years, like comics and posters, now's your chance! I will try to keep the shop fresh with new stuff as time goes on. That will eventually include books 2-3 of T3LP whenever I can get it printed. It's probably a bit too late to order if you want your order before Christmas (Unless you're from Canada or the US northern east coast), but I'm sending a patch of shipments tomorrow so you never know! It's all happening here: https://bourgy.net/shop
Some news
Oh yeah, I remember now, this place exists! It feels like I haven't logged in in a million years. This website also has a habit of discouraging its users from ever coming back with every new major update too, so, yeah. I don't have much news. 2021 was generally a lousy year. After I finished The 3 Little Princesses, I got depressed and entered a phase where I just couldn't draw for several months. It's not all loom and gloom however, I kept myself productive by making something I've wanted to do for years: a Super Mario World romhack! It's called Luminescent, it's a kaizo (i.e. very hard) hack, and the Mario community on Twitch seems to like it a lot. Here's a walkthrough by one of my favourite YouTuber/streamer, and here's the patch if you wanna play it yourself (don't ask me how to patch ROMs though). Speaking of T3LP, the book version is still in the plans. I haven't worked much on it this year because of the lack of conventions and events (I'm not going to invest in something I
The 3 Little Princesses post-mortem
Thanks again for reading The 3 Little Princesses! Hope you enjoyed this new iteration of the comic, I sure loved working on it! Just a little post to talk about a few things here. First, if you haven't FULLY read the comic in a while, do yourself a favour and go re-read it, so you can get a fresh look at the narrative, visuals and background jokes. My website is there for that, but you can also re-read the pages here on DeviantART. Second, I've talked about a book before. There will be one. I'll probably go ham on it: all three parts, bonus content, early concepts, a glossary of ALL references, stuff like that. It's probably going to be expensive, but it'll most certainly be an awesome collection item. (Also, you don't need to tell me about the ramifications of making a book using characters I didn't create, I know what it implies. Also, the book release is going to be VERY limited.) Third, I'll be holding a AMA (Ask Me Anything) event on my Twitch channel tomorrow (March 2nd) at
