Should I include the 2nd place runner-up from the poll (Ry...

Happy New Year!

Here's to another year of Ask Ranma And Ryoga!

Thanks as always to all you lovelies who have supported this passion project of mine for all these years, as well as just me and my art in general.

It's a new year, and there's new story arc(s) coming your way real soon (promise). Are we even in "Beach Arc" anymore? I stopped tagging stuff with "beach arc" ages ago but also never came up with a different arc tag. Maybe the "P-chan reveal" arc? It's kinda just like a purgatory "arc" th...

Some changes to tiers, and personalized drawings

I've made the executive decision to remove the $10 and $15 tiers. There weren't any backers for those tiers and there hasn't been for some time, with most popular being the $1/$5/$20 tiers. 

Also, for anyone pledging to the $20 tier, the personalized thank-you drawing reward will only be available from now on after the first payout of your pledge (the 1st of the following month). Once I've seen that you've maintained your tier until the first payout, I wil...

New year, new stuff - Drawing Of The Month!

In the new year, I am going to start Drawing Of The Month polls! 

Since this will be a new thing I'm trying out, there might wind up being some tweaking to how I do it. But I think for now if you have any suggestions for January's drawing, leave it in the comments below and I'll compile them into a poll that can be voted on at the start of January! 

I think this'll be a great way to get a bit more engagement between me and my supporters, plus it's like g...

ARAR - Chiyoko Hibiki - Character ref sheet

I've had the idea for Ryoga reuniting with his mom planned for this comic since, like, 2017. So it's very satisfying to finally be able to share her with y'all.

Her design has gotten a couple of revisions while I waited (im)patiently for her to appear. She originally had glasses, but I decided I didn't feel like drawing them (lol) plus she has a really nice eye colour and I didn't want glasses to block their view. Her overall "look" has stayed pretty consistent overall, though. I basica...

This right here, y'all, is why I decided to do weekly updates this month. 

It's time for a Hibiki Holiday Family Reunion!

Hummingbird (redux)

Back in 2018, I did this drawing of a hummingbird for my grandmother for her birthday.

She was diagnosed with a late stage and inoperable cancer a few months ago. My mother visited her often after her diagnosis, and during one of her visits she gave my mum the hummingbird drawing that had sat in her dining room since the day I gave it to her. She told mum that I should have it back, so now it sits in my own dining room.

On December 6th, she passed away. Her last words were “Me...

Surpriiiiise! 

For the month of December, in the spirit of giving, Ask Ranma And Ryoga updates will now be on a WEEKLY schedule! 

ARAR has been on a steady bi-weekly schedule since it's return from hiatus back in June 2022, so I figured it was high time for a little treat that was "Ranma Bomb" in nature but not the absolutely bonkers daily updates I did back then, that instantly drained my queue and caused me to have to grind like a mad...

Lookie what came in the mail~

I ordered some Phicen/TBLeague poseable figurines off of eBay! These are just little 1/12 guys, so they don’t have articulation in their wrists and ankles, unfortunately. But the 1/6 figures are a lot pricier and are heeee-uuuggge, so I feel like these will serve me just fine.

I also have the Takahiro Kagami hand model figurine preordered from AmiAmi which I should be getting around springtime 👀

No more deep-diving on Google Images when I’m trying to find Very Specific and...

Thank you, Jaqui K!

Whew, I got a lot of new $20 members lately. Thank you so much for your support! 💗

Thank you, RoxyArietis! (NSFW! 👀)

Another thank-you drawing for a new $20 patron member! Thanks for your support, and thanks for the great drawing prompt, I had fun with this one 😁

Patreon why r u like this

So the Patreon app continues to be hot sweaty garbage because scheduling posts still isn’t possible unless I do it directly from my computer instead of my iPad 🙃🙃🙃

Y’all probably got a notif about the next ARAR update, which I was trying to queue to post for November 26th when it’s supposed to post, the only thing I did differently this time was try to schedule the post from the app on my iPad instead of on desktop. And stupid Patreon posted it. I took it down right away...

Vacation mode

I’m on PTO from the day job this week, which means oodles of time to build up some buffer for ARAR! Here’s my current setup—I’d say I’m a grandmaster in the art of the staycation.

Thank you, Unsurpassed Travesty!

A thank-you doodle for a new $20 patron member! Thanks so much for your support 💗

Something wicked this way comes…

I’ve got some very fun plans for the next arc of Ask Ranma And Ryoga which I’m very excited for. I would’ve loved to have gotten to start this arc on Halloween but there’s still some more updates to get through beforehand. So instead, have some spooky promo art ;)

Can you guess what’s gonna happen? 😈
