The battle of wits has begun!

Weekly Update - 144

Also included, a picture requested by Quinn for his Hyena character.  I don't do commissions and I'm still killing the character sheet reward this year, but Quinn's been a loyal subscriber for a long time at Landlord tier, so I'm happy to oblige the occasional request!

The biggest thing is that I just don't do well under pressure. So that's why I'm getting rid of the character sheet reward. I love art, but when there's a deadline, or some other form of pressure, or when it feels li...

Kiera's Going for a Swim - High Res and High Def

Truth told, I didn't much care for how her spots looked on the last version.  Here's a different version.

Well, hello there. It's been a week, and I'm still sick.  But I'm much better than I was last week.

No more fever, no more crippling exhaustion. I've entered the phase where the annoying cough and other sinus symptoms linger for untold days. That's my least favorite phase.

Comic this week? Yes.

High Res for you. And you and you.

Just thanks!

So... this fell out of my pen yesterday.

To the surprise of me.

And now to the surprise of you.

Uuuugggghhhh... I've become ill.

Probably just a cold, not a big deal.

But as a result, no comic this week. I was behind anyway and I don't have the energy to crunch it out.

Have some Riley sketches.

Word of general advice, if you find yourself deep inside of a mysterious structure speaking to a being of unknowable origin, maybe try to NOT piss them off.

Got a little bonus art for you this week. This past Friday I tried to draw Riley in a more realistic, hyper-detailed style. I didn't finish it, unfortunately, but I am pretty happy with what I was able to accomplish, having never attempted anything like this ever before.

It was a good exercise in breaking out of that box for a bit. A confidence booster, as it were. Even though I didn't finish it, it was validating to know that, if I had to, I could do something like this!

Only a few more pages before I can give this character a proper name.  No spoilers though!

In the book trilogy The First Law by Joe Abercrombie, (not to be confused with Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind), there's a character named Glotka who constantly asks himself the question, "why do I do this?"

What a fantastic question.

Comic This Week?  Yeah! Pretty sure.  Assuming I have the normal amount of productivity tomorrow.

Happy Halloween everyone!  And a very special thanks to Michael for upping their subscription once again to Redtail tier!  <3 <3 <3

Long-time fans of the comic might remember that there's an event that takes place in Kuserra each year known as the Shadow Festival, which sees denizens adorning black masks and celebrating a near-forgotten tradition of fooling the Shadows (mythical spirits of bad luck, basically) into looking elsewhere for their mischief.  Mostly it...

I didn't really intend for one of the comic's spookiest encounters to land near Halloween, but it did!

Well, Rimworld's new expac came out. I binged it all weekend and I want to keep going because it's awesome.

But, it's Monday, and it's time to get back to work: to prove I have the drive, wherewithal and willpower to finish that which I must finish, because I am the only one that can! A chance to prove I am not a slave to my video game addiction!

Comic this week? Yes. I'll not abide a delay because of a video game. That's simply not a valid excuse.  Also, in ...

Wow! Two new patrons this week. Thank you so much to Nelren Marith for subscribing at the Landlord tier! And a special thanks to Borderline Axolotl for subscribing for a full year at the Trader tier!  And did I ever thank Henry Jesionowski for upgrading to the yearly rate at Trader tier as well last week? I should have! And I don't think I did!

Thank you all, so, so much. It means a lot to me that you all feel like I'm worth it, lo...

Blorp.

Did you know that today marks the 12-year anniversary of 10-10-10?

Yeah, it doesn't work that way, and 2110 is 88 years away.

Comic This Week? - I think so! I'll let you know if that changes, but I think yes.

Busy weekend for us!  My husband and I sat down for a bit and did a bunch of work on the main website. Well, he did a buncha coding, and I threw art and text at him to be posted.

But in case you haven't seen it yet, a new topbar graphic got put up, (I thought it was long past due to have one that actually, you know, featured the main characters a little bit), the Max character page finally launched, and I also updated Riley's small portrait for the character page to one that just s...
