✨January diary: an exhibition and new rewards on Patreon🎉
The new year has begun with exciting projects at the Atelier Sentô!
First, we’re glad to announce that there will be an exhibition of our original watercolor paintings and comic book pages at the Boma public library (Saint Denis de Pile, near Bordeaux, France) from February 7 to March 21. We’ll be there for the opening on February 7th from 11h30 and it will be possible to purchase our books and get a sign from us :) It’s free and open to everyone! We hope we’ll meet you there!
A new formula for the Explorer level on Patreon!
After 4 years of monthly digital mini artbooks, we’ve reached 46 pdfs, each one containing around 15 pages for a total of more than 500 pages packed with exclusive sketches and watercolors. But we thought it would be fun to give a new breath to this community… so we’re happy to reveal our new formula for 2026! \^^/
Starting from now, Explorer patrons will receive a special gift for each season.
As you can see, we keep our traditional New Year card in winter and also one digital mini artbook in summer. On top of that, you will receive 2 other exclusive goodies directly at your home, one in spring, the other in autumn. These goodies may be stickers, enamel pins, … there are plenty of possibilities and we’ll share our ideas and designs with you in coming posts, right here on Patreon.
On top of that, it is now possible to subscribe to an annual membership on our Patreon page and benefit from a 10% discount.

We’ve made some good progress on our visual novel video game The Doll Shop. The story is completely written, the soundtrack is composed, only a few items remain to be drawn, and we’ve started to send the demo to game festivals. Now I’m working on programming all day long!
Remember you can always add the game to your wishlist on Steam if you want to support us, it’s very helpful for being noticed by the algorithm >> STEAM PAGE
I began to work on the storyboards of Tokyo Mystery Café vol.3! Yay! And these last 2 weeks, I had the pleasure to welcome an intern at home. Tejata is a very talented student and he helped us finding new ideas for Patreon, the game icons design and many other things. It’s always nice to have an outside perspective on our work. It helps to progress and move on. Thank you Tejata!
Recently we’ve played Creaks, an independant adventure game created by Amanita design, one of our favourite studios. You play a character exploring a labyrinthine underground citadel populated by strange creatures. The scribbled aesthetic creates an eerie atmosphere reminiscent of Czech animation. It’s dark, fun, teeming with hand-drawn details, and features mysterious music!
You can send us your questions and fanarts for our next newsletter in the comments or on Instagram!
