Hey everyone, I wanted to wrap up the year with a bit of an update on my status.
First, a huge thank you to you guys. I really appreciate the support and it's made it a lot easier for me to continue devoting so much time each week towards the comic.
That said, I am still making slightly less each month than my rent and bills cost me so when my day job offered me more hours I had to leap on it.
I'm hoping this won't interfere with my two-page-a-week pace, but going to keep an eye on things f...

Hey guys,
As you know, one of the supporter perks is having your name listed on Drawholic.net as a supporter, and there are also perks for people to be listed in the e-book and print book versions of the comic (when they eventually exist) but I don't want to make any assumptions and list people who prefer to be anonymous supporters, so being listed is totally opt-in.
Just check your supporter rewards to see if you qualify and then send me a message via Patreon to let me know you want to be ...

Hey everyone!
I'm planning to begin posting the monthly pin-ups before the end of this month. I've got the first one on my drawing table and it looks great. Expect it as early as next weekend.
Also, I've cleared out my backlog of owed commissions. I'll be posting new commission information sometime this week and at that time I'll be accepting new commissions.
A couple of you have already approached me about commissions, I'll send you an email once I'm ready to get started.

Check your pledges!
I've changed from weekly pledges to monthly. For the various tier levels I basically took that amount and multiplied it by four, so that your monthly charge would remain the same.
Check the tier rewards as well, I've updated those. The biggest change is that if you are pledging $10 or more a month I will be sending out, once every three months, a signed 8.5x11 print of the comic page of your choosing.
At $50 a month I'll be sending an 8x10 pencil drawing once a month of t...

Hey everyone, I'm thinking I'll probably make some changes to my Patreon approach this month. Mainly in that I'm going to switch from per-week to per-month pledges.
Currently, you guys support me with weekly payments every week I post pages. I want to change that to a regular, monthly payment. So, if you're currently pledging 50 cents a week, you'd have to adjust your pledge to $2 a month to be paying me the same amount.
Beyond changing your pledges, not much will change on your end, as Patre...

For everyone, I've finally got Picarto streaming working so I'll begin hosting regular art streams in the near future.

I need to leave for work super early tomorrow, so instead of posting the page late tomorrow, I'm giving it to you guys a day early.
Also, an update! I was finally able to get Picarto working, so streaming will be back on. I may be able to stream for an hour or two here or there throughout the week, but the bulk of my free time to stream will be during the weekends.
I'll try to post spoiler warnings ahead of time if I feel a page I'm working on while streaming contains story spoilers.
I've ...

As thanks for your support, here's a sneak peek at the art from an upcoming page from "The Sprawl - LOG:02"
LOG:02 will definitely be much bigger in scope than the first chapter. I currently plan for the chapter to be between 100-150 pages, about twice as long as the first chapter. There will be more of an emphasis on both world and character development.
Look forward to it!

Here's the first page of the new chapter. Some of the questions you probably have from the first chapter will be answered, but by the end I'm sure you'll have even more questions!
Good thing it's a 3-part story!
This second chapter opens with more exposition regarding the background of The Sprawl.

I know, it's early, but rather than drawing it out, here's the final page of LOG:01!
So what's next? You'll have to keep reading to find out! LOG:02 begins next week!

I'm about 13 pages into LOG:02 and already missing these empty, snowy landscapes. By the end of the second chapter I should be a background drawing machine.

Question for my Patrons, what are some of your favourite image/comic sites?
I already post to Weasyl, FurAffinity, InkBunny. I'd started posting the comic to DeviantArt, but after a couple of weeks they changed something in the site code and the last few times I tried, linking between submissions was broken.
What other good sites are there for posting and browsing comics and art?

Trivia!
Originally, I wanted to post the last 10 pages of this chapter all at once then jump straight into the next chapter, but being unable to produce comic pages over the summer killed that idea.

Hey everyone. It seems Livestream has disabled their old streaming options to push their paid services, and my laptop is too outdated to work with Picarto's streaming software options.
I'm going to continue to look for workable streaming options but in the meantime it looks like I can't stream.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for this first month of Patreon support! There's not a lot of people yet, but the number has slowly grown since I started this Patreon campaign in September!
Here's your advance look at Saturday's comic page and I hope you continue to enjoy "The Sprawl" as we move from the first chapter of this story into the second. I'm really happy with how LOG:02 is turning out and can't wait to share it with you.
Also, side note, I do intend to do an art stream this...

It's technically Tuesday, so here's your early access to the next page!
Not sure if it's because of the composition, the moment to moment panel transitions, or just the overall mood., but I love how this page turned out.
Maybe around the weekend I want to share some more concept art and sneek peeks at the upcoming LOG:02.
I haven't had any luck with Picarto, but I plan to do a stream this weekend even if I have to dust off my Livestream account. I'll keep you guys updated.

It's 3am, that makes it Tuesday, and you have an early page coming!
Bit of news, still trying to get Picarto working, but the two software options they have for streaming don't seem to like my laptop. If I can't work it out soon I'll try hosting Patreon streams through my old Livestream account.

Check out my new Patreon page, hopefully I've made it look a tad more enticing to potential patrons.
Also, I've refined the Reward levels now that I've got a better idea of how to provide you guys with bonus material. In addition, I'll be bringing back my art stream sessions in the near future. Not sure yet how frequently that will be, I'm trying to migrate from Livestream over to Picarto. I'm planning to also turn these streaming events into Q&A sessions. Especially after LOG:01 is over...

Wow, it's already the middle of September. We'll be coming up on a year since I began working on this comic very shortly. I started LOG:01 around October, 2013, which is part of why the comic had such a huge buffer to carry it through the summer when I was entirely unable to work on new pages.
Speaking of, page 57 is up. I'll post some more concept art over the next couple of days. I'm really happy with the cast of characters I've been building for LOG:02.
I may have mentioned it before, but ...

LOG:01 focuses on a small group of characters within a couple isolated settings.
In LOG:02, the world of "The Sprawl" will get a whole lot larger.

Hey everyone. I'm still figuring out this whole Patreon deal so bare with me as we get started.
I'm giving you guys an advance look at tomorrow's page. I wantrd to make sure if I post two pages a week it doesn't charge you twice a week. Good news, looks like I can!
Once I get the details ironed out I want to use Patreon to share some bonus material. Like sneak peeks at the roughed out pages I have for LOG:02 and some of the character concept art I have.
LOG:02 is where the story really sta...
