A Foal's Errand, Page 7

Heh, been wanting to get this one up for a bit but kind of just didn't end up making the time until tonight. Sort of a simple one but hopefully everyone enjoys, had fun doing it.

The Evolving Canon

Hey, what's more Lucky Star than making a weird self-referential thing about our own other unrelated work? Heh, yeah, this one's been sitting for a bit. Lucky Star's one of those shows I was really into at the time but haven't watched in ages and it's been forever since we've touched, so felt fun doing a thing for it. No clue what the show's legacy is really given how distinctly of the time it came out a lot of its jokes and references were, but do hope everyone enjoys.

Erika's New Perfume, Page 37

Heh, feels good getting a new Erika page out, kind of wound up delayed a bit by some issues with the script and also just being kind of swamped with other projects. Since this month's Comic of the Month is Carli-focused we might only do the one main story Erika page this time, remains to be seen, but either way am glad to have an update out for everyone. Leaves A Foal's Errand as the only comic to not get updated so far this month and we'll probably have another one of those out in the next day...

Pre-Champ Interlude 3 - Lower Case n

Heheh... Yeah, was time for another Interlude on Pre-Champ, and since we're going to Unova next comic why not spotlight a beloved character from that region? N is up there for favorite Pokemon characters. Martin and I both ranked our favorite rivals in Pokemon and I think we both put him pretty high... He's a very likeable figure with a tragic history, so since he's tiny we wanted to give him a happy ending of sorts. Was all too fun to have him able to still chat with his Pokemon friends but no...

New Loop, New Role - Page 2

Honestly was hoping to get this one up a couple of days ago but even with intentionally trying to structure it as an easy way to see who all's present on this loop it wound up being really time-consuming. Fortunately got ideas in mind that should make future pages a lot quicker to get out. In case anyone's familiar with the source material and is wondering what led to the cast selection I went with, mostly boiled down to a mix of which ones I had ideas for how to slot into this scenario and wou...

Phi's Feeding Frenzy

Zero Escape is kind of in this weird position where I'd like to work with a lot more often than we do but it's just sort of hard to come up with ideas for; do have at least one more sitting offhand but between not really seeing its casts as they are day-to-day, the scenarios they find themselves in, and the state of the word it's kind of just hard to do as much stuff with as I'd sometimes like. Still, every once in awhile it's fun to kick something out. This is based off a specific scene in VLR...

Filing Error, Page 24

Kind of funny, I've had the next New Loop, New Role page laid out for awhile now - really from pretty much soon as the last one was drawn - and I expected it to be next but wound up having the mood strike me to have both A Balanced Defensive Line and Filing Error leapfrog it. Helps that for this one I kind of felt like I had to keep it light since where we left off called for a transitional pge, though am pretty happy with the end results at least. I will probably try to get up a new page of ei...

A Balanced Defensive Line, Page 10

Been feeling a little guilty about not really having some start of month comic updates ready besides Daylight, but we've been pretty busy and we did a bunch of late updates last month so kind of just not lined up right. Rushed through this one last night at least and probably going to try and get out a few more over the next few days. Kind of a funny thing, I came up with those first few panels as a way to help show that everybody present was affected in minimal space / time but they wound up t...

Through The Ultra Space

Heh... Yeah, we got a decent amount of Pokemon stuff sitting, so wanted to post a bit here. Anabel is a fun character we don't hit much, so was all too happy to drop her here. ^_^ This is one case where we're not entirely sure if it's related to Pre-champ. ..... If it IS related to Pre-Champ we have no idea which one of them is from that universe.

Annakatan Commission - The Next Day's Mystery

Quick little bonus update since Conan's 30th anniversary was yesterday and we happened to have something sitting! Kind of just realized it last night - only after the clock had turned over to midnight unfortunately but eh - and so figured we'd set this up as a quick bonus thing while we work on getting some comic updates ready to go over the next week or so. Speaking of, this is a good time to ask if there's much interest in us doing an ongoing Conan story. We've really strongly considered it a...

Who Could Have Assigned This?

EDIT: Only after submitting this did we realize Starfleet Academy is coming out next week. Making this an entirely-intentional tie-in submission! Lower Decks needs some love so thought we'd post some pictures that are sitting for it. ^_^ Very cute pair of images we wanted to show off, especially since it seems to be a pretty popular property for us. We're both pretty big fans of Trek so for the first picture we made sure to bring up references to episodes where this has come up. All the screen...

Dirtybooks Commission - Hand Made

Heh. Been sitting on this one for a bit; we've got a couple of Earthbound bits waiting around so all the better to get it out now. Simple little picture with Paula and Ness being given some new items from Mrs. Polestar, with their... different reactions.

Comic of the Month Poll for January 2026

Hey, another month, another poll! Remember that this will determine February's comic, while this month's will be last month's winner which by an overwhelming majority was Carli from Erika's New Perfume! By far the most decisive win in one of these polls yet so we'll be sure to get you a comic focused on her soon.

The theme this month - belated sequels! We've rounded up a bunch of old pictures of ours we think there's room to do follow-ups to and you can vote for ...

Daylight Park - Pick Up and Delivery, Page 4

We'd wanted to get this one out before the end of December, but eventually kind of became close enough to the wire on it that we decided to save it for our start of January update instead; quite happy with the end result in either case, hopefully now that we've got some more breathing room and we're not quite as sick (though still recovering) we should be able to more properly space out the comic updates this month instead of having them kind of all batched together at the end. Really happy wit...

Happy New Year 2026

At least in our timezone this is a little early, but we were planning to post this publicly tomorrow so we figured might as well give an early look on our Fanbox. Kind of came together very last minute mostly just out of wanting to do some random doodling and it ended up spiraling a bit as a project. If it wasn't clear the intention was to show off the various characters we have ongoing comics centered around. Naturally being the Year of the Horse Vinyl and Octavia take front and center, though...

Change for the Ones You Love

Funny thing, we actually started to post this one a couple of weeks ago - as in comments were in the middle of being written for it - and then at the very last minute I remembered, "Oh, right, finale special on the 31st." And hey, when else are we going to get the chance to do a tie-in for Kaguya-sama? ... I guess the new season of Oshi no Ko is an option but eh, we've not watched it. Guess given Kaguya's birthday is January 1st it does make sense as our picture to close the year out on. Series...

Mysterious Doppelganger

And this is the last of the winners of our poll! ... Really goes to show what a nerd for Mysterious Girlfriend X I am that I not only devoted a picture to a part specifically from the manga but it's not even a part of the manga people particularly like. Do think the idea is fun even if you don't really know the context though, tried to at least make it clear what was going on with it. Is a series we really should hit more often but it's not always the easiest to come up with ideas for, though I...

Trying Out Earth Fashion

And now the big headliner of those poll options people voted for. There's more left to submit after those but eh, had fun getting this one out. The gag here obviously comes from how in My Adventures With Superman, Kara dresses like Android 18. So to further the joke we see her dressed like Trunks! ..... A really specific Trunks, that that. ^_^ Yeah, simple shot but did enjoy drawing it. Particularly liked doing Ma.

A Foal's Errand, Page 6

And with that gotten out at least one update this month for all of our ongoing comics! Not bad for spending half the month being sick, especially since most of them have gotten two and we've got a second planned for at least one more before the month's out. Been kind of a tight fit working around all our various stuff up in the air at the moment while trying to make up for lost time so feels good to get this one out.

Crawl of the Night

Heh, Call of the Night's always a fun one when we get the chance to work with it but not really often at the forefront of ideas for us. I really need to actually get caught up on season 2, kind of just keep forgetting to make the time for it.

What Are You, My Mom?

Feel like should probably do stuff with 13 Sentinels a lot more often than we do. We do have at least one other in-progress one sitting, but for a game that's as, "Random grab bag of every sci-fi trope," as it is doesn't feel like we've mined it for as much material as we could. Am pretty happy with how this one turned out at least. Kind of a good excuse to play around with lighting a bit.

Champion Ladder Tea Party

And here's the first of the winners of our finishing up poll! We'll likely trickle these out over the next few days among some other updates so keep an eye out. Kind of wound up going a bit overboard on this one. We actually had three sitting MK pictures - the Sonya, Rain, and Shang Tsung ones here - and didn't really have any concrete ideas for them, and when it was one of the winners we wound up batting around some ideas on how to turn them into one picture that gradually bloomed into this id...

Futuristic Paint Thinner

There's something very Christmas-y about Batman to me. I can think of so many Batman stories set on Christmas and he just nicely contrasts the season. Christmas is over but we wanted to post something related to the Dark Knight for December and we had this adorable picture of Inque sitting around. Really hope you folks enjoy~

Erika's New Perfume, Page 36

Heh. Shocked nobody realized Erika had an out; just tell him that they were for her sister. Granted, she was pretty panicked in the moment so odds were good SHE wouldn't think to do it either. But yeah, realizing the secret was at a critical risk of leaking out our heroine snatches up her prize and makes a hasty retreat. This was a fun one to write and draw; had a big smile on my face whole time I was tapping at it. In particular love the tiny ".... Yes" she gives when realizing she should ju...

Comic of the Month 6 - Christmas Lights In A Dark World

This was a big undertaking to dive into while still recovering from a sickness but REALLY wanted to make sure this was ready on the 25th. You folks all voted for a Fanbox comic to go up on Christmas and Deltarune won pretty handedly. Noelle was of course going to be the focus; perfect little reindeer girl to ring in the Christmas season. Really tried to make the comic as Christmas-y as possible, even making sure to include Asgore-as-Santa in the mix~

New Loop, New Role - Page 1

Hey, told you we were going to be getting out some more comics before the month was out. Kind of finally hit a hot streak after days of not really being up to work so I knocked this out very quickly after the A Balanced Defensive Line and Filing Error pages, helped that the script had been sitting pretty much since I did the cover. Like I said when I put that cover up, this is a story kind of being done with the intention of being quick and without feeling the need to explain it that much - the...

Filing Error, Page 23

Really sorry for the delay on this one but between some general burnout, other stuff, and being sick it's kind of just been perpetually held up. Only actually wound up going through this one really quickly after posting the Hundred Line comic last night, though had had an outline sitting for awhile. Probably only going to be the one page for this month at this point, but will try and get to it earlier in January.

A Balanced Defensive Line, Page 9

Been feeling pretty bad about how thin on the comic updates we've been this month, but between how much we've had going on and us being sick for over a week now been really hard to fit this stuff in. Fortunately recovered enough at this point that between last night and today was able to get this one drawn, and we're going to try and get a few more out before the month ends. So... I'm guessing you expected the poll in the last one was to determine the only person who'd be affected, eh? Nah, bit...

December 2025 Picture Poll - Finishing Lots

Hey, trying something a little different this time! We're both still recovering from being sick and thus it's easier for us to focus on doing random stray pictures than to do full comics, so we've been doing a fair bit of that while we ease back in to the grind. We figured hey, why not make an occasion out of that, and thus we together went through and drafted a bunch of the stuff we have sitting pictures for into lots for our next poll! Details can be found on the poll itself -

What the Forest Never Taught Me

Can't imagine there's a HUGE market out for this one but eh. Yeah, Secret Of Mana has a pretty special place in my heart but don't plan to do too much art for it. Sometimes it means a lot just to dip in a bit and see what you get as a result. Certainly not displeased on the result, and am pretty pleased with what we got out of it. I kinda like the idea that the various Mana Spirits have just been gradually piling things onto these two. The fact that Luna is one of the culprits means they've got...
