Weekly Update - 105

Just got back from the doctor. Since all of my heart-related tests have shown up normal, we are left with perhaps a non-critical-but-still-unknown cause for my sudden onset of partial blindness in what I've always sort of referred to as "the bad eye."

The doctor doesn't think I had a mini-stroke (TIA). He is much more of the mind that it might just be related to blood pressure or cholesterol.

For now, I guess that's about as good news as I can hope for. So yay.

Water Purifier

Continuing the theme of last week, here Riley demonstrates a recently refunctional water purifier!

I'm usually against using copious copy and pasting in my art, but I simply was not going to hand-draw hundreds of individual figures that are all purposefully meant to look near identical.

Weekly Update - 104

It's a little bit further along than it was last week!

Comic this week: Yes

Drawing: Page 134

Playing: TW: Warhammer 3, Cyberpunk 2077

Ramble:

I don't even really want to post this, but I kinda need to vent. The real world has always been a crazy place, and it's been a little extra crazy this week.

I tend to avoid any sort of political discussion as it pertains to the real world. I usually ...

Heater

Quinn suggested on Discord to draw some more tech, and I thought it was a pretty good idea so I drew this!

Riley enjoys a recently repaired and retrofitted heater!

Because it makes heat.

No one knows what else it could have been used for.

It's annoying that you have to depress the lever every couple of minutes if you want it to stay on.

Weekly Update - 103

Sorry for posting this late. The weather's changing and we're supposed to get a big storm tonight, so we were out running some last minute errands today before we get buried in snow.

Comic this week: No. As you can see, The Next Page is nowhere close to ready. Truth is, I've been feeling kinda burnt out lately so I've decided to take the week off.  We will be back next week though!  Gonna check in to see what happened to Kiva!

There are probably worse choices than trying to mess with Riley... but not many.

Weekly Update - 102

Comic this week? Yes, if I work my ass off and consume constant coffee.

Drawing: Page 133

Playing: Nothing interesting until Thursday, but maybe Satisfactory.

Drinking: Coffee and more coffee and extra coffee and ultra coffee because coffee give me more coffee there's never enough coffee I need coffee.

I’ve lost interest in a fair few webcomics and television shows that...

Max Practice

I've been so bad at keeping up with sketches lately.  Have to remind myself the whole point of sketching on Fridays is to keep practicing and trying to get better. The sketches themselves don't have to be masterpieces, the point is just to refine the hand movements required to make them.

Comic This Week?  Sure.

Drawing: The Next Page

Playing: anything to kill time while I wait for TW: Warhammer 3.

Ramble:

It doesn't seem like it was very long ago I started thinking of you all as fans. It was a weird realization. I had these people who seemed to be enjoying my comic and reading along, and then some of them started to send me money for it. It was humbling and to this day I remain hu...

Weekly Update - 100

First I'd like to welcome Natani, our newest subscriber! Thank you so much for your support!

It's also apparently Weekly Update 100, so... shit. Feels like I should do something special. Had no plans though. Um... here, have a second preview image. Who is this guy? I'll explain it in the Ramble, because it's actually quite interesting to me how he came to exist! Maybe someone else will find it interesting too!

Comic This Week: I've fallen a bit behind, but I'm pre...

Riley ANGY!

Comic This Week: Yes!

Patreon Rewards: They're pending. I hope you don't mind that I sorta took the month off, just needed to relax and get back to my roots for a bit, but character sheets are still on the task list and I'll begin catching up with them next week, hopefully.

Surprise! We'll be checking in on Riley this week. She seems as shocked as I am!

Fight Scene

I always worry that the comic doesn't have enough action in it.  It isn't like I expressly avoid drawing it, I actually enjoy planning out and drawing these kinds of scenes, there just hasn't been much of a call for it... yet. Kiva was originally meant to be way more violent than he's turning out to be, but I think that's a good direction for his character overall.

When he does inevitably have to fight, I will try to keep such scenes limited to a page or two.  A fight that las...

Actually had this panel idea in mind for years, I'm liking how it's turning out so far.

Was supposed to have an echocardiogram today to see if I could get any answers about my health... but now it seems as though I might have caught Covid so I'll have to reschedule.

I'm fine, I'm vaccinated so my symptoms were pretty minor and I'm already feeling better, and all the rest of my friends who I've been in contact with got their booster shots a long time ago and they all seem to be asy...

Friday Sketches

Some sketches from the public stream today!

Keep on eye on Discord for the occasional Friday stream event.  Wanna shoot for streaming a couple of times a month, where I'll draw and chat at least for a couple of hours.  Sometimes I'll work on preparing comics from Chapter 1 for printing, sometimes I'll do Patreon rewards, never know what I'm in the mood for! Today I was in the mood to draw these!
