Grim Mini Voting

As some patrons have suggested, I am indeed going to try moving the voting to the discord this month. I assume nearly everyone that votes is already on the discord (since that's where the bonus art is), and the user list suggests that is indeed the case, so this should be more convenient for them in general.

The mvote channel now exists in the Participation section of the discord, check it out!

Plant Food 192

Thanks, everyone who responded to the question last time via commenting, pms, etc.  In the end I decided that the current eyes in 191 worked better with 192, but I'll be keeping the other points in mind. I'm sure we'll have a similar scene again, whether in a mini or the main comic~

Does anyone else feel the last panel is a bit off or is it just me?

So, we tweaked the previous page to better explain what's going on with dream!Juniper as a lot of people seemed to be confused about that~

Happy Halloween!

You might wonder how many pairs of costume fitting socks she had. Two. She had two pairs of socks. But they were both very good!

I might change Safi's dialog, since "stay out of the light" has been repeated enough times on the previous page even if it's being said with a different tone/context on this one..

(Also, I'll probably tweak the dialog on this one. Maybe add a "Still" bubble in panel 3, change the oof to something else..)

New Goal and Description Updates

So, I've finally updated the overview. >.>

Anyway, aside from rephrasing the Viewer Tier (Now called Bonus Art Tier) bonuses to reflect the reality that most of the benefit of that tier is the 5-7+ images a month coming from the director tier (Di-Sketches), and putting the discord links in the overview as well, the only real change of note is the addition of a new goal!

I spoke about it with Eldrik, and we could start doing an extra fullcolor main comic page per m...

Hrm.. who do you think Katoka is referring to in that last panel? I wonder if it's clear.  I also wonder if it needs to be clear, or if leaving it open would be fine..

I was going to have Juniper and/or monologue/explain what "might" be going on inside the coconut but decided that would prompt me needing to explain HOW they could possibly guestimate that (which they could). If I have Katoka/Horchestra talk instead I don't have to spend panel space talking about how they could know...

We ended up not adding the additional panel to 177 after all - I had wanted to do so, but it looked like the comic would have been delayed a week if we made the changes.  With that in mind, I decided ...

Voting and Bonus Art~

  • Some patrons have asked me to delay posting the voting thread until Monday the 5th. That seems fine to me, we'll still have more than enough time for everyone to get their votes in.
  • Several more di-sketches were posted over the course of the last week (hope you like webbing and plants!).  If you're at the $15+ level check them out on discord:

Plant Food 177 (Wip)

We somehow lost a panel of the plant tendrils wild panicking that'll be getting re-added in along with the shading.  I will be personally glad once we're past this scene, scripting it was not easy >.>.

Definitely will tweak the dialog flow on this one as well, I feel like it's a bit stilted right now.

Anyway, tell us what you think about how this scene has gone, either here or on discord~

We also tweaked the HD version of 173 (slight dialog change in the bottom left panel; I felt the hahahaha didn't match her expression and it wasn't good enough dialog-wise to justify tweaking the art to match~)

We also updated the HD version of 172 to have more pink (and the soften layer had been turned off somehow?).

Huh. If I comment on the page during these posts it'll basically be a spoiler?  I guess that'll matter for some posts more than others.  It'd certainly matter for page 173 though~

Discord and Future Postings

You may have heard that patreon has resumed the crackdown from two years ago. As it’s possible to set specific patreon tiers to specific discord tiers, I feel FvT had the right idea moving their uploads and bonus content to discord. My next post will explain what a discord is and the (extremely easy) process of finding the patron-exclusive stuff on it~

Some of Patreon’s staff are more reasonable than others, but I’d rather not risk us getting unlucky.  The hounding of a spec...
