Preview of next Banished page

I'm still away from home, but Brandon sent in the first page of our next comic! I'll post the high resolution finished page once it's colored and then you'll understand what's going on. ;D

Preview of the next Accursed Dragon

A look at how Ternion was affected by Despond and his altercation with fellow universe hopper, Hudaqil. The devastation is what brought about The Cataclysm Veil and all sorts of magical chaos that side of the planet. 

Rastus then laments how he and Ayari are no better...

Preview of Funny Farm for the week of 20/08/17

Here we see Vanessa Sykes adjusting to her new role by Mr. Mayers' side, and Miss Reese has a larger role to play other than mere personal assistant?

Things have been very busy for me currently and I haven't had the opportunity to get a lot of work accomplished. I'm also taking my mom on a vacation to Prince Edward Island here in Canada for a week, but I'm trying my darndest to get material ready for you guys! Thank you for the continued support. Updates will become more regular once September...

Preview of the Final Dragon first few pages

Work is steadily continuing with the conclusion to the current Accursed Dragon story with our new artist. I'm not entirely certain when it will officially begin, but I'll personally most likely be taking the winter season as my break and we'll launch this story spring 2018.

As shown here there'll be some new characters, but

*spoilers*

all existing AD characters who weren't in the last two ...

Ayari pauses to inquire if Rastus still remembers the days they lived in the reality they called home. He explains how Despond leaves a universe once it begins to erode and collapse to a new universe. His appearance disrupts the fabric of reality and brings destruction, but Despond at least lives another day.

Despond realizes if a universe can collapse due to time, ultimately he will to. That's what sparks his fascination with producing offspring of his own. The initial wave of three children ...

SFW preview of next NSFW Banished miniseries

Brandon and I are wrapping up what's left of the second NSFW miniseries starring Lyre and Gavol. This story will start off where Banished left off; the two Boscis aboard their strange, new ship and sharing a room for the first time. They're relationship grows and bonds strengthen and some of the story will go beyond what's currently happening in the main comics and there's a tiny glimpse of the character's future.

Just like the last NSFW story, this one is obscenely not safe for work. It shoul...

Unused Banished page for the end of the Robot Planet chapter

The sketches I make for Brandon before he properly illustrates a page are generally not super detailed, and this is no exception.  :x

Rak and his new crew fly away with Zeiss' robot colony behind them, and that's how the last chapter ended. Originally there was meant to be one more page showing a now composed Zeiss atop a platform with Fehr and her infected robot minions surrounding her.

Harnessing the power of the black hole, Zeiss generates a wormhole large enough for the entire c...

Here's the thing about Castmasters:
- They're the ones responsible for the time loop. Because of this they live multiple, multiple lives and grow more powerful as they continually train.
- The Edge of Sanctuary (the two statues that have that weird transdimensional-like gate inbetween them) is one of the Castmaster's sanctuaries that hold some of their history. These special sanctuaries survive the time resets.
- Castmasters are well aware of Despond and the dragons. The Castmasters are...

Future Banished page sketches (previews)

I've been making the sketches for comics Brandon will reference when illustrating (this is how they traditionally look at the very beginning stages) so I thought I'd share some excerpts of what's to come.

The first sample shows our new lady Boscis character interacting with what appears to be a drone. Very similar to the type of drone that antagonized Rak way back on Strix 13.

The second sample has her meeting up with Loammi; suggesting they're in cahoots with each other.

New Banished character design sketches

Getting Banished ready for its Book 2 conclusion is well under way and here's the first look at the preliminary designs of one of the new characters. A woman Boscis has never been seen in the comics before and that's an error I'm correcting now! 

You'll learn more about her when the new comics launch, but she lives in Arctose and wears leg enhancements due to the strong gravity.

Hair in the making

Rak getting mixed up with some Mammazon physical traits was a long time planning. Brandon even played with the idea a bit maybe close to two years before the actual pages were going to be made!

Long story short, I had Brandon working on what would be Book 2's final chapter (the chapter we're about to start this September) before the robot planet story even began. Here's what the first and only page of that arrangement looks like:

The NSFW miniseries schedule

Showcasing small NSFW comic stories has been an experiment and so far we're happy with the results. The support we've received has helped immensely in keeping Banished drawn and Accursed Dragon colored. 

X-Zone Strikers was created in an attempt to have a story that can 100% embrace the NSFW concept, but the execution was a bit of a learning experience. We felt we needed something to update on Patreon while the future projects were being created and that brought about delays and difficult...

Blagden observes how dragons are a veritable force of nature, yet Wylla knows Coven is still there fighting (not knowing it's Rastus) and keeping them safe. She starts shouting words of encouragement and is promptly joined by her friends as they cheer their hero on.

That's when a catastrophic explosion interrupts...

Look what arrived early

The second batch of pins in our Patreon exclusive series arrived and they turned out better than I expected! I might be able to start mailing the first wave of them after this weekend (but not all of them, so some people will have to wait until early August).

Ayari's attack may not have seemed like much at first, but upon meeting with Wylla, Blagden and Florina it exploded with devastating results.

They're safe, however, thanks to Rastus' ice avatar shielding them from the blast.

The countryside, as you can see, has become a wasteland of fire and lava...

The Concordat initiation continues. Truth be told I was wanting to do a supervillain sequel to Funny Farm starring PC. It was called "DOS Boot" or something like that...
It would be a weird story about PC on the run from the world governments and the Concordat, somehow manages to get a chunk of the moon to fall to earth and he claims it as an independent nation, etc. etc.

I've moved on to more interesting ideas since then. I have another, proper sequel to Funny Farm in mind and once these r...

While Ayari's attacks are more indirect, Rastus prefers up close and personal. Getting a good chomp in appears to have really disabled the red dragon, but Ayari immediately smells something in the air and turns to his foe with a devious grin.

Spoilers: Ayari is not really that damaged. He's playing up his injury to catch Rastus off guard. What immediately happens next is Ayari catches the scent of is Coven's friend, Wylla. Time to start fighting dirty.

Happy 4th of July to our US friends!

Here we see the start of the super villain processing for The Concordat. Fun story: I was having fun and thought about doing more with this whole villain business lot, but Brad Guigar came out with Evil Inc. and I didn't want to step on his toes.
That was kind of a dumb reason in retrospect. If it's fun, do it!

X-Zone Strikers Pin (free for $10 Patreons)

I'll be posting the second-last page for Episode One tonight, so the time's right for celebrating your support of our comics and collecting addresses to mail your free pin!

The pins aren't here yet. Coming up with a design we liked took longer than anticipated, but we made up our minds and they'll arrive around the middle of August. It's rather unfair to make you wait another month before offering the pin, so for the whole month of July I'll be taking in your mailing info.
