Thinking Too Much in HD, 1-5

Since I haven't been able to offer much in the way of previews recently, and in celebration of Facebook once again subjecting my uploads to its unpredictable compression algorithm, I'm going to start uploading comics here in their original, unresized, super HD resolution. Enjoy these very old comics! Remember when I tried to make those Boy Named Sue comics a thing?

Also! Some of these early comics will be in a different order to how I originally uploaded them - this is the order I actua...

Thanks to all my patrons! December 2020

December's thank you image is finally here, with none other than Pandora's direct ancestor, Alielle. Thanks everyone, and here's to a less... weird... new year?

Thanks to all my patrons! November 2020

Sorry about delay on this one, but at least I get to debut a design I've been thinking about for a while. Pandora's pajamas will eventually show up in the comic, but in the meantime... the nights are getting cold! She needs them now!

Thanks for sticking with me, and I can't wait to show you some of the new things I'm working on.

A Portrait From Space, chapter 1

So. Here's a thing.

I've mentioned before

Thanks to all my patrons! October 2020

I've been slacking off a bit on my Patreon duties recently, but now that certain stressful world events are in the rear view mirror, I hope to get back on track. Thanks for sticking with me.

Thanks to all my patrons! September 2020

Thanks for everyone's support. I really appreciate it.

Thanks to all my patrons! August 2020

Patrons, thanks for your support! Also, thanks for your patience; I have a few Patreon things I've slipped behind on recently and I hope to be back on top of them soon. 

Thanks to all my patrons! July 2020

Here's July's thank you image, a little later than I'd planned on, and a quick look at Pandora's new outfit for chapter 6! As usual, a reminder that the names in these images are offset by a month to give declined cards a chance to process, so if you're one of the lovely people who signed up over the past month, you'll be joining these hallowed names next time.

Pandora's Tale Chapter 6 preview

I hope you enjoyed Chapter 5 of Pandora's Tale, and as a thank you to everyone who supports me, here's the first two pages of chapter 6, which will be called Live Fast, part 1.

Pandora's Tale: Chapter 5

Here it is! This chapter took longer than expected to finish, but here's the latest installment of Pandora's Tale: Good Luck Charm.

Thanks to all my patrons! June 2020

It's been a stressful month but I'm still working hard on Pandora's Tale! Thank you so much for your support, it really makes a difference.

Very early pride flag guide concept

This is from 2016, almost two years before I put out my original pride flag comic, and a year before I was making regular comics at all. There are a few notable absences here, but a number of currently-recognizable pride flags either didn't exist at the time or saw very limited use. For instance, the pink-stripe version of the lesbian flag (the one that's just the lipstick flag without the lipstick) first appeared on the internet in 2015 but was a rare sight before 2018. 

Thanks to all my patrons! May 2020

Took me a bit longer than expected to get this put together, but here's the thank you picture for May's patrons. Isabelle in Pride mode seemed especially appropriate this month, and look out for more Pride-related Pandora's Tale stuff later this week!

This is also a reminder that I'm reuploading my old comic, Amazoness!, as a Patreon exclusive for $10 subscribers. I'll be posting two pages every Saturday, so if you want to see the comic that once prompted someone to accuse me of Feminis...

Thanks to all my patrons! April 2020

Thanks to April's patrons! Please wear a mask if you're able... I've found they have the added bonus of making my expression conveniently unreadable.

Pandora's tale character guides, part 2

Here are the remaining six character bios I've been working on!

Thanks to all my patrons! March 2020

Thanks for your support! Here's a preview of Pandora's new outfit from chapter five!

Pandora's Tale character guide art, part 2

Here's the second batch of characters I'm working on: Hemmel, Natalya, Lyra, Zufolene, Tallulah and Glenholm.

Pandora's Tale character guides, part 1

Here are some character guides I've been working on for the site. I'm going to start putting them on social media today, but as patrons you get to see them first! I also have a second batch coming, and I'll be showing you a preview of the character art in the next few days!

... I know everyone is desperate for that high quality Glenholm art

Pandora's Tale chapter 5 preview

Chapter 5 will be called Good Luck Charm. Enjoy this exclusive preview!

Thanks to all my patrons! February 2020

Thank you to February's patrons! My anxious lizard daughter, Sails-in-Moonlight, is overcome with gratitude too!

Pandora's Tale: Chapter 4

Chapter 4 is here! Thank you so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks to all my patrons! January 2020

I meant to get this up at the end of January, but as you can see, I've been sick this past week...
 

Thanks for your support, and I'm planning to post chapter four of Pandora's Tale later this month!

Pandora's Tale: the novelization

Last year, while I was working on the first chapter of Pandora's Tale, I wanted some feedback on the story. As it happens, I attend an open mic which is great for providing feedback. Unfortunately, comics aren't the most open mic-friendly medium. So long story short, I ended up writing a prose version of the first two chapters.

These were written fairly quickly, and my priority was explaining the story over writing amazing prose, so they're not as polished as they could be. That said, p...

Thanks to all of my patrons! December 2019

It's the end of the year, and who better to thank my patrons than everyone's favorite undead trans pop idol, Lily Hoshikawa from Zombie Land Saga. I finally got around to watching the whole first season over the holiday, and I was just blown away by how good it was, so I had to try drawing some fanart.

I've been a bit slow to update the Patreon over the last couple of months, and so I'm thinking of revamping the tiers for the new year, perhaps with some physical rewards for the higher t...

Pandora's Tale drawing process

Here's an example of how I build up a comic page, from sketch, to layout and text, to lineart, to the finished piece. Sometimes there will be extra steps, especially if I'm doing any fiddly background stuff, but this is the basic process.

Thanks to all of my patrons! November 2019

Here's Pandora in her waitress uniform to thank the patrons who supported me for the month of November. Thank you so much, and thank you also to the new patrons who joined during the month - your names will be on the December thank you picture.

It's been kind of a ridiculous, stressful month on my end, especially this past week, but I'm happy so many of you enjoyed the new chapter of Pandora's Tale. Hopefully I'll have more snippets of chapter 4 to show you soon!

Pandora's Tale chapter 4 preview

Chapter 3 ended today... but all patrons get to see the first two pages of chapter 4! I hope you'll look forward to seeing the finished chapter!

Pandora's Tale character guide art

I'm working on a character guide for the Pandora's Tale site. Here's a preview of some of the art I'll be using! There's a second set of characters I'm working on too, so expect a sequel soon!

Pandora's Tale: Chapter Three

Here it is: the next chapter of Pandora's Tale! I hope you enjoy it!

Also! I now have a dedicated website just for Pandora's Tale, so I'll be uploading the series from now on at  https://pandorastale.com/

Pandora's Tale chapter 3 cover preview

Here's an early version of the cover for chapter 3. Pandora is looking moody... even slightly menacing in her new environment!

Look forward to Pandora's Tale: Sisters in Arms, Part 1, debuting this Wednesday!
