I only need to finish one more page for this month and then I finally start pulling ahead into next month's pages.
I like to go all out on the backgrounds every so often. Hell, if I could just focus on the comic without worrying about distractions like "paying rent" and "eating" I'd want make every background this detailed.

Just a little bonus. I'm going to be using this background for several panels, so I did it as a stand-alone image first. Now you can see how the platform department chiefs live.

I'm hoping to have at least one more page to share by the end of the week.
Also, I'm open for commissions. Check out my Picarto page for prices: https://picarto.tv/SNOWDON
2018-03-07 07:04:55 +0000 UTC View PostSomeone brought it to my attention that raffles are not allowed on Patreon as a reward, so I'm rethinking the idea. I'll post again on this soon as I figure it out.

Here's the final page of the month. I'll be diving straight into the roughs for next month's pages so I can hopefully get a head start on those.
2018-02-16 20:39:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, just a status update on me and the comic.
First, the comic. I've got the final page of the month in front of me now and I should have it to you guys tomorrow.
I'll be trying to knock out the roughs for next month's pages in between commissions and any other paying work I can get going. I'm hoping to have at least 2 of next month's pages done by the first and be back up to a month ahead on pages by the start of April. From there I'll be trying to build up my buffer as much a...

And yeah, I've edited the previous page so the first word balloon in this one won't be so redundant.
I still need to get on top of finances so not sure how far I'll get ahead this month but I'd like to get at least 1 or 2 pages ahead before the month is out.
But I'm still making more work for me because starting next month I'll be doing a raffle all of you are in! All Patrons will be eligible to win a free sketch every month.
I'll be sorting out the details later,...

Let's celebrate with a new high-res page!
I'll likely make a small edit to this before the next page, moving one of the word balloons to the following page.

The doctor said it would be 2 weeks before I start feeling better, but I'm already feeling a bit better now. Finished up this page and I'm hoping I can knock out the next page before this one goes live on the site.
2018-02-03 19:22:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Doctor's visit went well, I'm back on treatment (going to visit the pharmacy here soon).
Apparently my trip to the hospital not long ago was brought on by suddenly stopping treatment in the first place. Apparently that was not supposed to happen and my calls to the doctor's office never made it to my doctor. So that's a thing that happened.
I've got the 4th January page almost done, it should be ready tonight or tomorrow tho I might have to crank out some ...
2018-01-29 17:14:29 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, so I've let you guys know I've been a bit under the weather lately and getting some medical treatment. I may have been underselling it just a bit. I just spent the other day in the hospital and have another doctor's appointment coming up near the end of the month. I'm not near death or anything, but it's definitely hurt my ability to keep on top of the comic or take on the work that pays my bills. I'm still hoping to have next week's page ready before Wednesday and I'll give you gu...

Hey everyone. I feel really bad about how long this is taking, but here are the first 3 pages of this month's page dump. Well, two images, but three pages, since pages 2 and 3 are a two-page spread showing the arrival of the Fusion Burner, which leads into the final segment of this chapter.
That's right, we're nearing the very end of LOG:05, only a couple more scenes to go. You won't be dis...
2018-01-10 13:41:34 +0000 UTC View PostYeah, so, remember how I said I didn't know how going off my treatment was going to affect me? Well, it's affecting me pretty badly. And since the Doctor's office pushed my appointment back to the end of the month it looks like I'm stuck in the same boat I was before treatment began at the beginning of December. I've called the office about speeding things up but no luck.
Pages are coming, it just might take me longer than I'd originally expected.
2018-01-05 19:17:56 +0000 UTC View PostOk, so there's a few days left but I don't expect much to change.
Due to how ridiculously far behind I was due to being sick, and how ridiculously huge the two page spread is (see previous post if you don't know what I'm talking about), I may be a bit late with the January page dump. I'll post the first page on the first, the two-page spread and the final January page as I finish them. I expect them all to be done within the first week of the month so no worries.
I'm switching to "paymen...

The next piece of Patron art I'm working on. I couldn't get Jayanti to take any time off of work to sit still for a pinup.

By popular demand, I've brought Su back for another pinup. I do not intend for this to be the only pinup this month
2017-12-17 01:57:19 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Most of you probably heard about the changes to Patreon's payment structure that would have put more charges onto the pledges you make. Thankfully, Patreon has acknowledged that this was a mistake and the changes will not occur.
I've already lost a number of subscribers due to the news of the change, hopefully now that it is not happening they will be able to return.
Other than that, I hope everyone is having a great December and enjoys their holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Well, soon enough at least. In the meantime, enjoy December's pages. There's only two of them, but I'm really happy with how they turned out.
The tower that keeps appearing in this chapter is actually the base of a space elevator. Rather than building something as large as the fusion burner on site, it is faster to build it in the city and deliver by sending it up o...
2017-12-04 08:39:13 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, I'm about to head to bed so I'll be quick. December's pages will be posted tomorrow/today. Like I posted way back at the beginning of October there are only two November pages. I will, however, also try and get a few pinups or maybe a holiday piece out this month, too.
I did get in to the doctor but being my first visit to a doctor in a couple of years they basically had me schedule another appointment in January so they can run some tests. In the meantime they did give me something ...
2017-12-03 07:41:14 +0000 UTC View PostSubscribers who have been around a few months know that over the summer I submitted the first chapter of "The Sprawl" to ComiXology, it was accepted, and we've all been eagerly awaiting the announcement telling us when it will be available.
It seems someone forgot to send me that email because I was checking out the ComiXology site today and look what I stumbled across!
2017-11-23 05:26:25 +0000 UTC View Post
I'm working on a set of Sprawl posters that I hope to have available at cons and through the website in the near future. Stay tuned for updates and more previews!
2017-11-20 18:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
I feel bad because I haven't been as active here or Patreon as I have been in the past. Socially, I mean, I've managed to keep the content flowing so far.
I've had some medical issues going back to at least the beginning of the year, which I chalked up to "summer blahs" (I've never gotten along well with hot weather) but in recent months have proven to be more of a health issue. I don't want to get into the details of that right now but I do have an appointment with my docto...

Hey everyone!
Those of you following me on Twitter probably know what's up, but for those wondering where this month's pages are, here's the story;
About a week ago Patreon decided to double down on account security, requiring everyone to click a link from a verification email they would send after having us log in again. Problem is, my verification email never arrived. After a day of this I contacted support and there began a week long adventure in trying to get access to my Patre...
2017-11-05 00:59:51 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! Just putting out another reminder because nearly half our $2 per page and $5 per page subscribers have not updated their pledges and may not be receiving all of the content they signed up for.
I've already posted inks for the most recent pinup and will be posting the coloured version soon. If you don't see the inked version, check your tier. We went from per-page to per-month.
This Sunday I plan to post some concept art or a WIP page.

2017-10-02 01:49:58 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I've changed The Sprawl Patreon over from "per page" to "per month". This has meant changes to some of the tier levels.
Subscriber early access to comic pages remains at $1, the idea has always been any amount of support gets you early access to the comic pages.
Behind the Scenes Pass has gone from $2 per page to $5 per month.
Exclusive Art has gone from $5 per page to $15 per month.
And so on. You might h...
2017-10-02 01:33:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Beginning next month I'll be working breaks into my comic schedule so I have a bit of breathing room to build my page buffer, work on Patreon bonus material such as pin-ups, side comics, holiday pictures, and more.
Overall, this should mean more content for you guys, the subscribers, who help keep this whole thing running.
So where am I fitting in these breaks? No more 5 page months. In months where there would normally be a 5th page I'll be using that extra wee...

The big news is out, "The Sprawl" is officially on Katbox After Dark.
