June Update - Looking Forward to the Summer

Hello everyone,


 So, my day job still has its claws in me for another week, but then I should be free.


Oh, more news. Some of you probably saw that Patreon had its own little update, adding a dashboard. This is already great for me because it makes your comments and messages to me more visible. Hopefully these improvements will keep coming, the Patreon interface is kinda frustrating in how difficult it is to see basic information like that.

Good News Everyone!

Things are finally falling into place. I was just paid for a big freelance job I did about a month ago, and my day job was extended until the end of June. Also, I will be moving in July to cut my living expenses to less than half of what they are now.


 Because of all of these things working out, unless something astoundingly bad happens between now and then, I will be able to take the summer off to focus on trying to live off of my art again.


 Instead of a...

June Update - The Sprawl - LOG:02 - Page 52

And there you have all four of June's pages. Eight more pages remain in LOG:02 after these and I am really, really pleased with how they turned out. I can't wait to share them with you next month!

June Update: The Sprawl - Log:02 - Page 49

Hey everyone. Thanks again for your continued patronage. I'll be posting this month's pages today for you to enjoy.


Right now my summer plans are to use the money I've made through freelance work to focus on art over the summer, which will mean more art for "The Sprawl", work on a second comic I've been slowly working on, and opening up for commissions.


 In addition, I'm currently developing the third chapter of "The Sprawl" and should be posting more concept a...

Look Again

Hey everyone, I made a quiet update to the comic a while ago, I'm not certain how many people noticed, but depending on when you began reading the comic, LOG:01 may be slightly longer than when you looked at it. I added two pages since I moved on to LOG:02. The first smooths out the scene on the plane at the beginning, explaining why Getta doesn't freeze to death in frozen wastes. The second page addresses the complaint that you don't get to see what Bonnie discovered at the missing team's c...

May Supporter Page Update #4

There we go. Another month, another month's worth of pages. This past week I finished roughing out the final pages of this chapter. There's a lot more story coming after that, but still it's a big milestone. And thanks to you guys, supporting me every month, I haven't had to put the comic on any sort of hiatus to pay rent and bills. Thank you, it means a lot to me. This month, I'm going to be reevaluating how I run the Patreon side of things again. I'm going to be looking at ideas like deskt...

March Pages #4

Seriously, without you guys I wouldn't be nearly as far along as I am. Knowing there's people willing to throw a few bucks my way every month to see more pushes me to keep my update schedule, and pushes me to try and make each page better than the last. I hope you guys continue to enjoy the comic. We've only seen the tip of the iceberg for this story. There's so much more on the way! ~ DrawHolic

Hey everyone! Your monthly delivery of "The Sprawl" is here! Once again, thank you all! I wouldn't be nearly so far along with this comic now if not for you guys! Remember, another way you can help me out is simply to spread the word. The more readers I have, the more supporters I get. The more supporters I get, the more time each month I can devote to pages, which means the more pages you guys get each month to read! If you know any good webcomic directories, be sure to see if they have "The...

Patreon Update

I've redone my Patreon page somewhat, including the tiers and goals. The goals have been changed to reflect my better understanding of how much money I'll actually be receiving once I reach those goals and as I said in a previous message to those affected, I've removed some of rewards most supporters did not care for. However, if there were any exceptions and you contacted me, again you're covered. I'll see you continue to receive those rewards. If you did not see the message I'm referring t...

Next Month: Back to 1 page a week

Hey guys, like the title says, in February "The Sprawl" is reverting to one page a week. I'm taking on a second job to make ends meet so I won't have the time to keep the current pace. If it becomes possible to go back to 2 pages a week in the future, I definitely will. Also, if at some point I meet the $500 a month goal I will make the time for 2 pages a week as it will reduce my need for additional employment. In the meantime, starting February the updates will be on Wednesdays. Of course,...

Over $100 a month!

Wow guys! Today I broke $100 a month from all of you! That's pretty amazing and has definitely helped ease my financial issues a little! This weekend I'm going to fine tune the supporter rewards a little. Everyone seems to like the new supporter preview I tried out this week, which is giving you all the full month's comics at the beginning of the month, rather than doling pages out a day in advance. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do this Patreon thing in a way where the rewards...

Patreon Page Preview - Page 97

There we go, every page through the end of January is available to my supporters. What do you guys think of this format over the "day early" page previews?

Trying something a bit different!

Thinking that instead of giving you guys the pages a day early, maybe I'll give supporters access to the entire month's pages right at the start of the month. What do you guy's think?

End of the Year Update Part 2 - Christmas Vacation

Also, the holidays are almost upon us! This weekend I leave town to visit family through Christmas and New Year's. I may not have internet access so there may be no updates here on Patreon during that time. HOWEVER, since it IS Christmas, I'm going to leave you guys a present before I go. You'll have to wait and see what it is! Expect it either tomorrow night or sometime on Saturday.
