Hey hey, just like with Dielle's Wish, OBT's upcoming print run will be printed with acknowledgements! Since this was a much longer-term project I'll be handling things a little differently to cover previous patrons as well.
By default, all current patrons (including untiered patrons) will be included. If you'd like to change your handle/name for the print run, or if you would like to opt out of having your handle printed in acknowledgements, let me kno...

Now that production has begun on a new chapter of OBT, it's also time for another cameo call! This chapter is mega long which means there's a lot of space for cameos, and 5 different calls to choose from! Since it's an exploration-heavy chapter there's a lot of room for exploration team submissions, but there's also plenty of room for normal townsfolk. There's a lot of variety with this one! Feel free to submit multiple characters to different calls, I really need to fill a lot of space.

yaaay, another WIP wednesday! this time featuring a bunch of prep work I did for Chapter 7, which means I'm ready to start production on it for realsies! I spent more time than I expected putting down text, which was how I found out this chapter wasn't going to be 70 pages, but 109. A bit of a difference there, oop
It's a bit weird seeing what will end up being the next year of the comic! Chapter 7 is estimated to end publicly on January 13th, 2024, which feels really...

Work has (more officially) begun on that original comic I've been doing, Nothing Gold Can Stay! This here is a demo for the main cover of the comic, though it's already aged a bit due to some design changes with our main girl here haha
I'll be sharing more production notes as the project continues! OBT is still my main priority at the moment since I want to really try and get Chapter 7 completed before the end of the year. Originally my goal was to get to the end of Chapter 8, but then...

It's time for another batch of monthly postcards for Bronze Rank+ patrons! I felt bad about putting them off for so long once again, so to make up for it I tried to make more original pieces for postcards this time around. I also found out that while printing these my printer for some reason crops the images down by about half an inch- after spending 4 hours troubleshooting I have literally no idea why it does this, so I'll just be more aware of a "dead zone" on the border of postcards from h...

... And that's the end of the chapter! Which also means it's the end of Book 1 for OBT! I'm so excited to finally be wrapping it up and getting it printed! I'm hoping to start placing orders sometime near the beginning of October, so keep an eye out for an announcement regarding that.
I plan on taking a (very) short break from making pages before getting started up on Chapter 7- it's gonna be a long one (probably 80+ pages!), and I'm gearing up to try getting through the end of Chapter...

It's still technically WIP Wednesday until I go to sleep! That's how days progress in Stardew Valley.
Anyway this week I wanted to share a sneak peek at this batch of Patreon postcards! At this rate I think I should just admit to myself I will pretty much always send them out in batches rather than at the start of the month, but I'd like to think I can hit that monthly deadline. Of course the universe has other plans- despite having multiples of each ink cartridge, the one I don't<...

Finally wrapping up that massive page batch I've been working on! Page 39 has been done for weeks now, but page 40 was part of the batch so I wasn't able to release them until the batch was completed. For Silver Rank+, look forward to another 12 pages late tonight or early tomorrow!

Another WIP Wednesday! Trying to keep up on these lmao, but apparently Patreon posted the last one without the preview image at all?? So maybe that should be edited now, allegedly
I've been slowly transitioning back into my batch page format, which has been kinda nice! Unfortunately it means I'm hoarding a lot of these pages until the batch is done, but for Silver Rank+ folks I hope it'll be worth the wait. Still trying to roughly keep up on my page a day pace which is harder to quanti...

Been a while since I've done one of these! Anyway, I've been prepping for Chapter 7 while I try with all my might to finish rendering Chapter 6's pages. I've got about 19 pages left to render, which I'm hoping to get done before the end of August!

i don't think rune's stair sensor ability was necessary to find Mr. Fuckhuge Tree but it was probably good practice anyway
I think page 33 is my favorite so far in terms of executing nebulous concepts from the script!

skuntank's aura is green because he's smelly and rude
also, a big stroke of luck for me that skuntank and vulpix are both in the same IQ group! in another draft where rune was learning this from a different character, the other character's species actually didn't have the stair sensor skill

... and that's the first death in this run, believe it or not! Azrael was recruited in Foggy Forest shortly after the expedition arc, and I was super excited to have a Smeargle recruit. After all, the possibilities with Sketch are endless! He could have Roar of Time! Or he could die immediately to a Pinsir. That's fine too. Long story short, I couldn't find a way to incorporate him and an actual death in the story in a way that felt natural with timing and tone, and wanted to prioritize other...
