God Slayers - Page 205 - High Res

I think Skye might be the character whose colors I've messed up the MOST throughout this whole comic. I believe I have them correct here.

Weekly Update - 232 - 8/19/24

What year is it again? I don't even know any more.

Preview of The Next Page, plus a sneak peek at some random thing I felt like drawing last night of my ridiculous everything hybrid.

There's still time left to vote in the next poll if you haven't yet! I'll probably close it out this week and get started on it when I can. I have an idea for what to do with the leading choice right now, but don't let that keep you from voting for your favorites!

God Slayers - Page 204

If you're wondering, most Hunters would NEVER confront a suspected god like this. It's very unusual.

God Slayers - Page 204 - High Res

Lemme know if you like the new extra high-res high res or not. More pixels means bigger file size, bigger file size could mean slower downloads... I just don't know when that gets TOO big for y'all to reasonably enjoy.

So today, Patreon informs me that Apple is going to start charging astronomical fees on any Patreon subscriptions made through the Apple store. This won't affect Patreon subscriptions made via the Android store or on PC, and will apply only if you use the Apple store to subscribe to Patreon. It also sounds like it might only affect NEW subs made through the Apple Store, but I don't trust that to stay true at all, so if yo...

Loyalty

How does the city's most powerful kingpin keep his three walking slaughterhouses happy and loyal?

With lots and lots of pets.

Loyalty - High Res

Happy to finally share Reese with you all! It's kind of funny, this character was first mentioned in Chapter 1, and he's existed as a major part of the setting's history from the very start, but I've never shown him to anyone drawn digitally before. He's existed only in my head and in various early concept sketches dribbled throughout my sketchbook. His debut in the comic series is coming up soon though, so I figured, why not! Here he is.

And while Reese's appearance has evolved quite a...

Who Should I Draw Next? - Round 八

You know what to do!

Mixing up some choices here, it's hard to separate the Cinder Trio in my brain.

Next time maybe I'll do some pairings, leave a comment with your favorite snuggle couple suggestions!

Weekly Update - 230 - 8/5/24

Some or most of you have probably seen this image already. I posted it in various places this weekend, but it's more interesting than anything else I have to share rn so here it is in super high-res. Just for you guys. I'm starting to lean more into a higher-res high res. 5500x4250 (or the reverse for portrait) instead of the usual 3850x2975. Most people probably won't notice any difference, but I'm doing it largely for my own sake. Often now when I'm working on finer details an...

GS: TTRPG - Character Sheet v0.3

Let's see if this works! I THINK you can just make a copy of the sheet at the link above, and edit to your heart's content. I THINK. But I have no idea! Yay, for never having done this before via Patreon.

I desperately wanted to make the character sheet one page and specifically one side of one page only, but... alas. It might just need to be double-sided. Otherwise I run the risk of requiring people to write in super tiny spaces. I'm no kind of layout designer, so I'm ope...

God Slayers - Page 203

Yeah, leave him alone, Kiera! Let him die in peace.

God Slayers - Page 203 - High Res

Not my best work. I blame my drawing hand. It started cramping up this week but I powered through and now it needs a good solid rest.

GS: TTRPG - Character Creation!!! The Process.

The thing you’ve all been waiting for, character creation! I wish I could tell you this was an easy, three-step process, but it’s not. Given my propensity to emphasize the player character in all game mechanics, they’re where all the game’s complexity lies. So it’s a ten (optionally 11) step process, but hopefully I’ve streamlined it pretty well so it’s not a grueling one. This is probably going to be a long post, so I’ll just get right into it!

(Using the old Riley shee...

Weekly Update - 229 - 7/29/24

Whew!

Updating site art... kinda sucks! But I got some of it done. There's a bit more I want to do, even past this, but at least it's a start. I've also been hammering pretty hard on the TTRPG. Should have the full character creation process posted this week!

But the show must go on, so...

Comic this week? Yes!

Drawing: Page 203, Reese bonus art!

Playing: Um... Indigo Park, The Coffin of Andy and Leyley. Tho...

GS: TTRPG - Species Template and Adaptations

While I was writing up the Character Creation Outline post, I realized that these sections deserve their own post. It's probably one of the more complex, but (I hope) also more interesting parts of character creation, and trying to explain it in the other post would probably have tripled its size. I'm pretty proud of this, honestly... and I'm trying real hard not to let my brain use that simple fact as evidence when it tries to tell me it's bad.

So a character creation guide will still ...

GS: TTRPG - Expertise and Mastery

I think I forgot to explain these in a previous post. They aren't that complicated and probably don't deserve their own post, but I meant to include them on one of the previous posts and probably forgot because the posts were long enough already. Because they're getting their own post now though, you better believe I am going to blather endlessly about them both!

These two parts of the character sheet are my answer to skills. I've seen a lot of newbies get completely overwhelmed by the ...

GS: TTRPG - Equipment

In my experience there’s two distinct approaches to handling equipment in an RPG (they have their variants but there’s effectively only two broad categories, with a third option being none at all.) As you may have already guessed, I don’t really like either of them, heh, but it’s also not something I feel is important enough for me to try and reinvent from scratch. Managing your inventory is never anyone's favorite part of gameplay, and because it’s often such a chore, it’s often ...

Weekly Update - 228 - 7/22/24

This is a quick birthday sketch I made for Quinn! It seems their characters can't escape quicksand in any universe. Let's all wish Quinn a happy birthday!

And in case you haven't yet, there's still time to vote in the latest poll. I'll probably give it until Friday, then I'll lock it down.
