I’m sad to announce that Jeremy Pursell, Sapphirefoxx’s longest tenured employee, will be stepping away due to health reasons. Jeremy has been with SapphireFoxx for eight years. To put that in perspective, he was hired towards the end of Shifting Roommate’s comic run.
As an artist, Jeremy has created so many characters, backgrounds, outfits, and other props we’ve used over the years. He’s created nearly all of our protagonists over the years dating back to Different Perspectives. For locations, he’s made anything from Alistair’s Cave, to the wilderness of Mysteria, to many of our favorite character’s homes, and to even the starship Crossfire. Jeremy has tackled large projects such as organizing and overhauling our characters’ body type system. He is also the person who’s made all of our various animated spell effects. Even after he’s gone, we’ll still get to enjoy his work for a long time to come.
-
- Alistair’s Cave, 2014 – One of Jeremy’s very first projects.
-
- Alyssa Outfit 10, 2018 – Alyssa, the winner of our fan vote from last year, was one of Jeremy’s creations.
-
- Robin Remastered, 2019 – One of many old characters who was ‘remasted’ by Jeremy.
-
- Zoey Outfit 21, 2020 – Jeremy created all the main characters in Cinder Isle, including fan favorite Zoey.
-
- Spell Effects, Various – Some of the many animted spell effects Jeremy created over the years.
-
- Crossfire and Space Props, 2021 – Jeremy played a big role in creating the world of Crossfire.
-
- Capital City, 2016 – One of many locations in Maker Game’s Mysteria that Jeremy drew.
-
- Oliver’s Apartment, 2017. If it’s a protagonist’s house or bedroom, odds are that Jeremy made it.
Jeremy has been an incredibly hard worker over the years, and was always up for extra work whenever it was available. He lives in Ohio, and loves working on music in his spare time. If you’re interested, you can check out Jeremy’s music collection on his website. www.illrecur.com
I want to wish Jeremy the absolute best with his recovery and hoping he finds nothing but success in whatever he does next. Lastly, Jeremy wanted to say “Thank you for the years over viewership and opportunity to help the community enjoy the content.”
On a somewhat related topic, I’m planning to put together a “Meet the Team” page for the SapphireFoxx staff. There’s a lot of people who work hard behind the scenes to bring you the animations and comics you love, so it would be nice for you all to get to know them a bit better than just a name in the credits.
Hey Sam ,meet the team is a great idea! I can’t think of a better way for your customers to endear themselves to your brand than meeting all the people who make it happen !!!!
A heartfelt THANKYOU to you Jeremy for all the enjoyment and relaxation that I have receive as Sapphire Foxx as my break and detachment from the real world that can be downright brutal sometimes ! We will pray for your health and healing in the future and Thanks once more !
Yooo, I checked out the music and it’s pretty cool! Definitely gonna be tuning in more. Thank you Jeremy for helping create so many of the iconic visuals for my favorite TG comics. In your own way, you helped me discovery who I am and helped me begin my transition with your art. I hope you a have a full recovery and wish you luck in your future projects!
Best of luck and thank you for all the incredible content over the years.
Also, a meet the team page would be very interesting to see
I wish u the best of Luck in whatever u will do and Achieve next Jeremy thank u for amaxing Years and get well pretty soon!
Good luck in your future endeavors dude!
Damn, it’s a shame to see Jeremy go, especially if he was responsible for bringing to life many characters we’ve grown to love. Either way, hope he recovers and has success in the foreseeable future
BTW Sam, when it comes to the “Meet the Team” page, do you plan to do a section dedicated to the various voice actors (IE: Sarah Wiedenheft, Matt Shipman, Brittany Lauda, Ricco Fajardo etc…), the characters they’ve voiced in SF animations and what other media (video games, anime) they’ve worked on, provided that they’re okay with it, that is?
I mean, the voice actors don’t really “work here”. They do a few hours of freelance work a few times per year. The Meet The Team page would be for all the people who are working full time or part time for SF.
Maybe as a listing of other works they also do if they would like to publicize their older work here. Otherwise, it can just be a wiki listing of the VAs who allow their name here (just in case they want to be covert and not on a “page”)
Just this week I realized Alyssa is FF from JoJo, or vice versa. Blew my goddamn mind!
