Sketch: Sandi Michalski
Four $200 backers of the Poor Wayfaring Strangers Kickstarter nabbed cameos in Next Town Over. Sandi won't appear in the comic until Book 9, but here's an early sketch of her NTO insert.

I swear I did do this yesterday (Twitter will back me up); just didn't get it scanned until now. 6th forthcoming.
By the way, I've been talking about this on Twitter, but Kickstarter has a rule I was unaware of against multiple live campaigns, so alas Vol. 2 has to wait until the jokey campaign I started with my preschool son concludes.
Sneak Peak: No Particular Fear
The Kickstarter is awaiting approval. Meanwhile, here's the promo video.

Inktober bonus: new Cutter & Ironwood on the way
Phoned in my Inktober 4th drawing juuuust a tad because I was also inking a new page of C&I.
Watering Hole page 2
Another super early one for Patrons.
Hey do you guys know about Toddler Race? Tell your friends with kids.
The real KS is coming real soon.
Inktober 1st, and the 2016 NTO Coloring Contest
Hey Patrons! Please check out this post!
This Inktober 1st drawing is free to everyone, but many will be exclusive to you folks.

Watering Hole page 1
Because Gus Carlson is awesome and drew Rough Week for me, I actually managed to get a few pages ahead on this intermission in addition to starting work on the Volume 2 Kickstarter, so you get it super duper early. Much <3.

Rough start
The blobby beginnings of the Volume 2 cover. Struggling with this thing. Trying to make something that looks a bit complementary to the Volume 1 cover. Text will ultimately probably be silver foil.
Paintergast rough
I made this guy at midnight last night & will probably be redoing him vs cleaning him up. Even smoothed out I think his general swish is waaaay too distracting.
Rough Week page 3
Gus's penultimate page of this short short. Two weeks till the reader-chosen filler!
Rough Week page 2
Continuing to correct my earlier oversight!

Whoa, the whole NTO machine is in disarray because of my break. Totally should have posted these Patron-side! Sorry, guys!
Marker sketch
Thanks to Nick Hillfork who generously deferred his personal sketch to get everyone a little extra something! <3
This is a traditional marker sketch recolored in Photoshop.
Best,

When Cutter Met Ironwood page 5
Rose is back! Enjoy, folks! Remember, if you prefer you can view Cutter & Ironwood at its passworded Tumblr: http://cutterandironwood.tumblr.com/ -- the password's been updated, however, it's now "Cutwood".

A little preview
Sketch possibly relevant to the reader-chosen filler.

http://www.nexttownover.net/?p=3294
Threw up this Patron honor roll reflecting those who have pledged 10+, 100+, and more over the course of their patronage of me and the comic as of August; Patrons with lifetime pledges totaling over $100 have the option to have personal sites/projects linked to, but I didn't receive a lot of URLs. I can add them after the fact if you message or email me those deets. A few folks ...

Thank you all for your August support! As I said, anyone pledging during the month of August was eligible to win a free sketch, and I'm pleased to announce the September winner is longtime Patron Nick Hillfork! Thank you so much Nick, and thank all of you!
(PS I JUST got back from my 5-day vacation. I'm super tired but it was great to get out of here awhile. Best, all!)
Diamondback Ridge page 35
Here ends book 8! I'm actually taking a vacation with my family next
week (whaaaaaaat!) so rather than jumping right into the reader-chosen
filler, I've got a little surprise for you.
September Patron Sketch Giveaway!
In addition to other recent efforts to step up my Patreon game, at the end of this month I'm going to be randomly selecting 1 Patron to win a sketch of their choice. A winning US Patron will have an original 8.5x11" sketch on Bristol mailed to them; an international winner will receive a hi-res digital sketch (which I will probably spend a little more time on to compensate for its ephemeral nature but shipping internationally will sink the doability of this.) Anyone pledging during the month of ...

Patron thank-you page/post?
Guys I'd love to thank you all on the NTO site; not sure yet if I'll do a permanent page or a recurring post. Will probably take the form of tiered shoutouts for anyone who's cumulatively donated certain amounts. I don't want to violate anyone's privacy though; I'd like to make it opt-in (opt-out?). For patrons who've put in more money I'd also like to link to any personal projects you may have. Please let me know via some channel (comment on this post or if you're more comfortable, message or e...
