May Preview

The comic starting next month is based on a new Joel-centric story written by Rogue.  It will run through August and is part of the ADITL series.  

More macro/micro shenanigans ahead, folks.

Payhip Links

This is just a reminder that the Payhip links for earlier pages from Backdoor Breach will be removed this weekend.  I'll share some details about next month's comic in a few days.

Also, for those interested, I'll be putting a new human-focused sketchbook up for sale soon.  Anyone pledged at the beginning of May can get a free copy of it if they want.

Backdoor Breach Cover

Backdoor Breach Spot Illustrations

These pages bookend the comic.  I usually try to go with objects or actions that tie in to the story somehow.

Backdoor Breach WIP #19

Just about finished with everything.

FYI, the PDF this month will have 4 pages in it.  The other 2 pages (cover and spot illustrations) will be posted early next week.

Backdoor Breach WIP #18

I'm working on rendering right now.  The new pages will most likely be ready on Monday next week.

Backdoor Breach WIP #17

Rough draft of the cover.  This will count as one of the pages given out as a reward but will be posted separately after the PDF is sent out.

Backdoor Breach WIP #16

The morning after.  There's a still a bit more fun to be had by Barry before the story ends.

Backdoor Breach WIP #15

Tuck-in time.  I had this idea back when I started the comic and wanted to work it in somehow.

Backdoor Breach WIP #14

Sorry for not updating sooner.  I took a few days to rest after finishing the last batch of pages.   This is a smaller sketch done as part of a storyboard.  I also decided to rename these posts to  organize them by comic title, rather than month.

Backdoor Breach WIP #13

Almost done with the pages.  They'll most likely be sent out tomorrow night.

Backdoor Breach WIP #12

Just getting started on rendering.  Lettering always comes last so I don't end up with any gaps in the artwork.  It makes last minute edits a lot easier.

Backdoor Breach WIP #11

Smooshy macro humping...

I'm almost done with the lines and flat colors.  Rendering will take most of next week, but lettering only takes about 2 days so hopefully everything will be ready no later than the 23rd.

Backdoor Breach WIP #10

Figured it would be fun for Barry to get good use out of his jock.

Regarding Sketches

I apologize for not starting these back up but I've decided to dedicate the rest of my free time to finishing up a different sketchbook that's been kicking around for a while.  I'm hoping to have it ready to sell by the end of May, and those who are pledged at that time can get it for free if they want (it's all human characters).

In the meantime, I'm going to start posting a second WIP here each week.  I realize now that these are much better for you guys, as the comics <...

Backdoor Breach WIP #9

Pretty easy to see this one coming.  

I finished the storyboards a couple of days ago, right now I'm working on the full-size drawings.

Backdoor Breach WIP #8

Barry's bedroom--the lighting changes to red when he closes the curtains.  I thought it would be kinda goofy/funny to have him setting a "romantic" tone as he begins his...intimacies.

View Post

Backdoor Breach WIP #7

Just about ready to start on rendering.  The new pages should be ready by Friday.

View Post

Backdoor Breach WIP #6

Almost done with the full-sized drawings.  Lines and flat colors are next.

You and Me: Ambiguous

The complete PDF is now finished.  Unfortunately, Patreon's tracking system has changed so that it is too difficult to identify and contact everyone who qualifies for the high-resolution version.  

If you pledged for the entire comic, or bought all the pages you missed after pledging, please send me a message here to receive the file.

View Post

Backdoor Breach WIP #5

I'm just getting started on the full sized drawings for the newest pages.  I figure things will start to go faster once I finish up Ambiguous.

Comic Revisions 2

I'm almost done touching up the pages from this comic.  It will most likely be ready Sunday night.

January Sketch

This character belongs to a patron here.  There will hopefully be another sketch with him soon, but for now I need to continue catching up with the last comic.  There will still be a WIP pic posted each week, though.

UPDATE:  I decided to go over this one again because there were some drawing issues that were bothering me.  It feels a little over-rendered now, but I'm a lot happier with how it looks.

Backdoor Breach WIP #4

The new pages will most likely be sent out Tuesday night.  Thanks for being so patient, everyone.

Backdoor Breach WIP #3

This is the first panel of the comic, just a typical establishing shot.  I'm hoping to be fairly close to done with the pages by next weekend.

View Post

Backdoor Breach WIP #2

This is another snippet of the new comic.  I'm hoping to start on finished line art and flat colors this week.

Just as a side note, the dialogue isn't final here.  I just put it in so the panels make more sense.
