July Color Drive
Who Can Color Drive: Anyone!
How it works:
> Choose one or more old panels you wish to see fully colored and upgraded.
>> I send you Eldrik's paypal info.
> Send Eldrik cost of panel(s) via paypal.
> Eldrik colors the panel(s) later that month.
OR
> Send some amount of money to Eldrik, and give me general directions regarding what it should be spent on color-wise (Mini X, Scene X, etc). This is what happened with the Juniper WoD Mini.
June Q&A
Figuring out how much to spoil/not spoil was difficult - unlike most of the other Q&As this one will be answered in the comic itself.
I decided, though, that this was a good time to make clear in comic form what I've hinted at in various places (or outright stated). Anyway, tell us what you think!

'Horchestra': Yet another nickname for tentacle-hand. Going to have this be the widely used one, I think.

Some Poll Results!
Next Grim Mini: WoD IV, with Amber/Exo-Breeder!
Filters: We will be doing another filter test, but right now it looks like the underwater effect is preferred while the filter tested on the Safi scenes was less popular.
Digestion: So, I have noticed that the way Eldrik draws shrinking bulge, or at least how he draws it when long, thin monsters are involved, is more stretched/consumed instead of condensed/widened/consumed which makes it f...
Filter Test Poll
Attached to this poll is an image with 3 pairs of images.
Please reveal unto me the image of each pair you prefer.
Wow we're having a lot of polls this month. >.>
WoD: Alt Amber's Fate
Alright, another poll for everyone!
I will allow bonus votes on this one - just post if you're using them and which option(s) you're using them for. As always, you only use up the bonus votes if you win.
So, since there are many, many possibilities for "parasite host" I decided we should describe a set of possible options:
Parasite Host (Exo-Breeder) - A parasite that starts fairly small / back-hooking-ish that grows over time while corrupting host, becomin...

Digestion Preferences
The commentary on the most recent page made me wonder - what kind of digestion DO my patrons prefer? Hence, this poll.
Shrinking Bulge - Outline becomes less and less humanoid as it gets smaller and more oval. Similar to Wicked Witch Melting, except it effects the whole body at the same time.
Wicked Witch Melting - Like Alt-Safi in wheel O' doom. If vertical this would result in feet melting and/or becoming shrinking bulge-esq first, then legs, etc.
Withering - Like Jade in ...
WoD - Everyone Poll
So, the people that voted for WoD this month turned out to be evenly split on a few things, so we're going to have another poll open to everyone.
I realize a bunch of other patrons already voted in the other poll, but I wouldn't want to penalize those that followed the poll's instructions.
Anyway, this poll is for everybody!
Question for those who voted for WoD this month.
A question for the patrons that voted for WoD IV:
It is looks WoD IV will be having a runaway victory in the Grim Mini vote. So how should we go about it?
At this point in time I will only be counting the votes from those who voted for WoD IV. If it ends up in a tie I'll do a general poll.
You can vote for multiple options.
May Q&A
Other questions:
------------
To Katarina: By the way, why are you so intent on targeting Rika?
K: "What? She and the fox slaughtered most of my crewmates!"
K: "What other reason would I NEED?"
K: "They’ll die for that. I’ll show that… traitor…"
*Stomps off, angry mumbling continues*

To Juniper: What are some of the occupational hazards associated with being a xenobotanist?
J: "What? What is a.. hold on." *...
Changes To Mini Comics and Piggybank
So, for the past few weeks there have been a couple votes regarding if we should change how we do minis. Patrons involved with the voting/submitting process turned out to be overwhelmingly in favor of us going to an alternating month pattern - in order to facilitate more color/pages for the main comic - so that's what we'll be doing!
So we'll now be doing an A-B month pattern like so:
A Month: Voting!
B Month: Submissions | Mini Voted for in previous month is posted.
<...
How To Go About Future Minis Continued
So, the last poll was a tie between voter sketches and grim minis, with various forms of alternating months getting support as well.
Decided to do one more poll with the revised options.
Description of terms used in poll:
------
"Voter Sketches": The submissions for these months would be simple peril scenes involving 1-2 characters (Same content restrictions as the Dir sketches / Grim minis, a complex monster/device/etc counts as a character) that is perilous in some w...
Possible Piggybanking Change
With the ongoing min vote discussion I suppose now's the time to finally bring up a change I have wanted to make to the piggybank tier for quite some time.
Current situation:
> $15 tier is practically a psuedo-voter tier due to piggybank, which rather devalues the actual voter tier.
> Whenever someone <$15 uses credit, it has always been to submit/vote with the need to somehow get all the $15 rewards to them being an extra complication brought on more by the rules o...
How Should We Do Future Minis?
I've been speaking with Eldrik about possibly changing what we do with the minis in order to facilitate more main comic pages and/or color, and wanted to hear what you think about it.
Options:
A) Keep things as they are - 3ish page mini comic every month., etc.
B) 4x Voter Sketches instead of minis. Basically, this would be the same as the Director sketches (including 'upgrade' option), except we would decide the top 4 submissions with a poll each month.
V...

Next week's early page might be Thursday-Friday.
Plant Food 62
So, this month will return us to regular amounts of color, albeit most of it will be near the end of the month.
In possibly related news, we will be returning to Amber in less than 10 pages.
April Q&A
Some of its past victims had journals of their own, which is how the plant knows about heart symbols, the female symbol, and a general gist of that part of the world.
----------
Juniper: What is an Auborus Willow or Palm Grass? How do you know so much about Cursed Jungle plants?
J: Oh, I read about Aurborus willow in a book. I read about palm grass too, but I mostly know about it because of Aunt Josie.
J: Regular palm grass existed before the cursed j...

Symbol
So, on the Q&A - one of the delays was that we had not yet created Tentacle Hand's symbol, which is a fairly important thing! It wouldn't do to lack a proper name... anyway, each of the diners have their own symbol as well, but we'll cross that bridge at a later date (note: supplicants like the plant monsters =/= diners). Anyway, the above is the draft of what we'll be going with (possibly with further tweaks). What do you think?
Also attached are a pile of other possible symbol...
Plant Food 59 - Speculation Request
So, this (very) early page is being posted because I am hoping to hear what folks infer from this page / are confused about with enough time before the public update to tweak the page if needed.
I look forward to seeing what people think!
Edit: Tweaked the middle panels to make things clearer. Or rather, more blurry~
Early 59 - Speculation Requested && QnA Question
EDIT: I've attached the earlier version with the confusion (Eldrik initially thought the room in the last panel was in the same world). After this week I'll switch places of the pages.
So, this (very) early page is being posted at the $15 level because I am hoping to hear what folks infer from this page / are confused about with enough before the public update to tweak the page if needed.
In a couple days I'll be posting it for all patrons, but I figured splitting it like this give...
April Color Drive!
Currently OPEN.
Who can Color Drive: Anyone!
What IS Color Driving?: It's when someone funds the upgrading of specific panels they'd like to see in color asap!
How it works:
1) You choose 1 or more old panels, or otherwise describe how you want the upgrade money spent (Past Examples: "Color Main Comic Page 4 panel 5", "Spend this money to color whatever panels you think would work best in the upcoming WoD II mini", "Co...
