I always lament that my sketch style isn’t very pretty. They have to be more finished to look presentable & it really slows me down.

This request took forever to get to. I'm going to set it for the NSFW users, even though I don't think it's very risque. Just because it's easier than getting chewed out for it later. There's only 9 of them anyway so I guess it doesn't matter all that much if they get left out.

The Evrina Halloween image got me doing some sketches of the first lady of animation herself. They have tried several times to make her relevant again, but it never quite sticks. I have some ideas, but it's basically pointless, even though I think she's technically in the public domain I'm fairly certain the trademark never expires.
Anyway, not important. I hope you enjoy this not related to the comic stuff. I very rarely draw anything without thinking abo...

Sometimes I take a swing at a panel layout that seems like something I can do, but the deeper I get the more I’m like “We may have wandered past the limits of our reach...”. Tune in tomorrow to see if I pull it off, I guess. XD

Now that it's October I can spam cosplay content & it doesn't seem indulgent. Evrina has a bit more boop boop a doop than Betty, but she wears the style surprisingly well... It's weird because usually when I depict lips or lipstick my mind reads it as looking trashy, but this doesn't. I wonder why.

My style has Japanese influences, but is also so basic and lacking in refinement that people don't always pick up on it. It doesn't fit anywhere nicely, a theme for me throughout my life... It all starts to fall apart when the characters face any direction that isn't 3/4 from one side. I never focused on drawing because I wasn't never very good at it. I couldn't keep up with other students so I gravitated to sculpting where I could hold my own a little better. As...

I used to know when some of the main cast had their birthdays. I think I have it written down somewhere. I remember Carol's because of Animal Crossing. If she aged in real time she would be 38 this year.

At the risk of randomly pissing off patrons, which is apparently a thing that happens when I post, or don't post, things now I'm posting sketches. Will anything ever come of them? I don't know. As someone who makes his living online it feels like I'm playing Russian roulette every time I go online right now. Stating opinions is as dangerous as staying silent. It's like living inside the house with the doomsday clock in it. The countdown tick measuring out t...

Taken from a larger image not germane to this patreon. If I was going for a more realistic look I would go with this skin tone for Jo, more or less. I really saturated my colors so I could see them better when I originally chose her tone. Now my screens are better & I don't need to push it so much.

Listen, I dunno if you guys are interested in my weird side ideas. I drew a cute clown. Cute clowns have been popping up a lot recently & I wanted to draw one. Why? For what purpose? I don't know. It's a thing I did. Sometimes you do a thing & find a reason later. I haven't named her, or her stage name. Clowns copyright and trademark that stuff so you actually have to check.

There are piles & piles of metaphorical sketches that I never post, because they seem like garbage to me. It's very difficult for some artists to share this sort of thing, but sometimes you end up with so many failures that you don't have any actual content. Failed experiments are just part of being an artist, trying to learn. I am largely self taught because most of America doesn't take art seriously, so the teaching of it is lacking almost everywhere. I also came...

I’m trying out making a small post from my phone. This was me trying to draw in the truck while having to do other stuff. It’s not easy since the roads aren’t smooth. I’m not sure this is worth finishing, but it’s something I tried & I have tons of failed things to use as content, so maybe I should.

Someone reminded me of this since I just sort of stopped posting the sketches, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew what I replied. I'm going to roll these into the actual comic when the time presents itself because I thought of a way to do it that fits in neatly with the overall oncoming arc. Obviously I don't want to spoil where that's headed. I had some ideas that I hadn't settled on and this interaction revealed a way to make them work in a way that seems really appropriate...

I got a fair way into this and was like "I don't know if this is working..." I really wanted o get something up in here though, so here's something I may never finish. The idea was clearer and seemed better in my head. I know it's not naked Carol, but they can't all be winners.

This started as one of those body pillow kind of laying down at a weird angle images, but outside of that context it was pointed out that it looks weird, so I made it her sitting up.

I read the first few chapters of Uzaki Chan Wants To Hang Out & drew Carol in her iconic shirt. My understanding is that sugoi means exceptional, or awesome, words to that general effect & dekai means large. It's an on the nose visual gag in Japanese. Anyway it's a cute story if you want to go look it up. Uzaki is kind of a little goblin. She actually reminds me of Evrina more than Carol because Evrina is more over the top than Carol, but we haven't...

I posted this as kind of a flex on twitter so I assume almost none of you actually saw these images of a page in various states of completion. I took the images with my phone rather than actually rendering them in CSP.

I think it’s not gonna affect many people because of how I set things up, but who can say? Since I don’t sell a product & you just get access to extras we’re mostly exempt. In any case Patreon probably sent you an email. They sent me a bunch. This takes effect tomorrow so I guess we’ll see.

My sketch layers aren't usually very interesting, but this one shows how little I work with before I ink sometimes. Mostly I just need a guide to steady my hand. As long as I know where I'm going I can make a more or less proper line. The first panel sketch of Patricia is actually from a much older image of her. Sometimes I did into an archive to keep myself from deviating too far from the original designs. Her flyaway hairs have evolved over time into a very sty...

It's completely superfluous as far as the overarching story goes, but I thought it might make for a nice look into why Reggie is how he is. Is that something you guys would like as maybe a bonus black and white comic? Just a little side thing to peer into Reggie's home life? &n...
