Weekly Update - 96

These are the same two panels I teased last week.  It's interesting to me how the art changes sometimes from the "tier 1" storyboard sketch. I've become less afraid of taking those early sketches and moving them around, making big changes, or redoing them as need be. That's kind of what the sketch phase is for!

Comic This Week:  Yes!

Drawing: Page 127

Reading: Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie

End of Year Statistics!

I find this stuff mildly interesting, so I figured I'd share it!

2021 was a year where I ended up missing some of my usual goals, but also drew a ton of other extra stuff, making it still the best year for God Slayers yet!

This year, despite moving and travelling and settling in and the more recent health problems we still don't have any real answers for, I still managed to post 38 new pages out of my yearly goal of 40 pages.

I also only drew/posted ...

Kiva meets Riley

To celebrate the launch of Riley's character page today, I wanted to give people a little bit of extra backstory, so here's how Kiva and Riley first met!

Sheesh almost missed this one.  I forgot it was Monday!

Just returned home from visiting the family for the holidays. We beat the weather coming home, but we're expecting a huge snowstorm this week that should be tons and tons of fun!

Comic this Week? No.

Riley Character Sheet? It's getting close. I need to polish up the text entries and finish the portrait image, it'll be going up as soon as I get those things done.

I had to sneak this one in before the holiday.

Weekly Update - 94

So, the doctors found out I have high blood pressure AND high cholesterol, and they want to make sure that my arteries aren't blocked. It seems impossible, for all the little I know about diet and exercise and fitness -- I'm in pretty decent shape -- but I suppose there could be something else going on inside of me. In any case, I continue to feel fine, aside from the lingering partial blindness, and I've gotten my blood pressure under control for now. We should know more later this week afte...

Kuserran Medical Science...

... is not very far along.

There's no antibiotics, very little understanding of how the body works, and no anesthetic.

Inspired by my own recent medical adventures, though thankfully the doctors here on Earth are far more educated.

First off, thank you so, so much to Michael for your support! Let's all welcome them to Kuserra!

Comic this week:  Nuh (See the Ramble for more details)

So yeah, I won't be posting a comic this week. As you can see, it's usually a lot further along by Monday than it is right now. I start...

Riley Character Sheet graphic

Still have a lot of work to do before I can add her to the character page, but Riley's main graphic is done!

Kuserran Heroes Update - 2

Thank you all so much for your continued support!  As thanks for your donations, your character sheets and cameos are still coming as time and sanity allows.  I know I'm slow.  >.<  I can only promise at best one or two character sheets a month, otherwise I'll get burnt out.  Zephyr's sheet took me a ton of extra time because of all that detail, but I'm really really happy with how it turned out!

Again though, if this queue gets out of control, I may have ...

Based on the poll I posted, I think it's pretty obvious that Riley will be the next character posted to the Character pages.  That should be interesting.

Also a very special thanks to Ikato!  Who joined us this week at the Trader tier!  Thank you so much for your support!

Riley's Hair

Even I don't know how her hair became such an identifiable and recognizable part of Riley's overall design.  You can see even in her earliest appearance in Chapter 5 how I hadn't quite settled on what her hair was going to look like yet, but then, there was a lot about her I still hadn't quite figured out by that stage in the story, and her hair wasn't the highest of priorities.

In any case, this is one possible in-universe explanation for how it got that way.

Who do you want to see next on the Character Page?

Feels like it's been awhile since I added someone to the Character Page of the site... and we're still a few off from the next Patron goal, but who really cares about that?

Who do you want to see get added next on the Character Page?

Remember way back when I said that Kiera was only temporarily filling the role of villainess because it was vacant?  Those were some pretty cool words.

It's a rare day when a page turns out looking better than it did in my head.  I'm very happy with this one!

Do you guys like narration?

You know, like when Kiva interjects to explain things that aren't otherwise clear from the drawings?

What seems to be going on here?

I'm not sure, but I've apparently started going blind in my left eye.  Little grey blind spots across my field of vision, some flashing when I walk from a bright room into a dark one or when I turn quickly to the left.  It feels like I should be panicking about it, but I'm really not.  My right eye is still fine.  My left eye has always sucked and the doctor was able to rule out the worst case-scenario of retina detachment.  I hav...

Holiday time for those of us here in the states! That annual feast where we eat ourselves into a food coma based on a dubious historical precedent.

Currently driving back home to spend time with the family. Typing this on my phone, which I just realized has a crack in it from when I dropped it the other day. That'll teach me not to store it in my jacket pocket.

No comic this week, but I might post some sketches or something from my sketchbook, depending how much free time I ha...

Why have I started dropping more Friday sketches lately?  The short answer is, I'm tapped out for ideas.  I don't want to just draw a cute sketch of Riley or Max and have that be my post each week.  I don't want to just draw Patreon character sketches and have THAT be my Friday post either.  It gets tiring, really, to do the same type of drawing over and over, but coming up with new ideas each week is hard too and I'm kind of tapped out.  That's why I need your help!<...

Gilly looks almost like a vampire in this panel.  Rest assured, he's not actually a vampire, though I can't say he'd be above drinking the blood of innocents.

Comic This Week:  It's nowhere close to being done, but I'm gonna try to get it finished by Wednesday.

This felt like a good time to sneak in some cameos for a few of the supporters we've gotten these past months.  Thanks to my dad, who has been an avid supporter from the beginning, and to Robyn, Quinn and Crafty.  I just can't thank you enough for your love and support!

Also, semi-hidden lore book!
