OBT 2025 Trailer Animatic

I think these trailers are getting longer and longer lol While I don't have much variation in scenes for this one (the next parts of Chapter 10 are more about interpersonal drama than world-shattering stakes), I do think it'll be a nice representation of what's to come for part 2 of chapter 10!

Backstage Pass #63

On this edition of Backstage Pass, I'll be talking about...

The script for Chapter 8! As with other modern OBT scripts, this one doesn't have (much) commentary. There are a few deleted/reworked scenes at the end though!

Like with other Backstage Passes of this nature, this will need to be viewed either off-site on Google Docs, or in the PDF attached to this post. Yo...

Postcard Dump Soon!

Just a quick announcement that catch-up postcards are entering print production at this time! Be sure to double check your listed mailing address to ensure it's correct- otherwise you won't be able to get your benefits. Especially if you went up from a lower tier to a higher tier at any point- Patreon sometimes doesn't auto-update your information to include an address for physical goods. Folks without an address listed will not receive postcards, but they're welcome to rub their eyes on the ...

I would try saying more for this but our wi-fi keeps getting knocked out every 10 seconds so instead I'm just gonna desperately post this as fast as I can
as a quick aside though, I'm hoping that during hiatus I can still get roughly 3 pages of buffer out per week! in practice we'll see how that goes though haha

Chapter 10 Part 2 Hiatus Tracker!

Oh yeah, a little sneak peek at something I will be implementing on OBT's site during the public hiatus! While patrons will be seeing pages as they're complete, I also have a tracker for the general public so folks can see how quickly the chapter is coming along. The tracker will be implemented in the overall layout once the hiatus begins, otherwise this page serves as a testing grounds for the function and as a fun little visual way to see progress.

On this edition of Backstage Pass, I'll be talking about...

The outline for Chapter 8! It's been a while since I've done one of these, and we have a few chapters to catch up on! It may be Friday today instead of a Thursday like I usually like to schedule these, but we can let it slide ;)

Like with other outlines, this will need to be viewed either off-site on Google...

Yippee, that's the end of Part 1 of Chapter 10! Public updates for OBT will be on hiatus for a while, but in the meantime I'll be properly rebuilding a buffer on Patreon. My rough goal is to complete the entirety of Part 2 before I start public updates again, but we'll see what I feel up to!

Wowie, lots of cameos! Ran close to the clock on these ones because of the sheer volume of characters I wanted to include, but I think this shoooould be most of them! Any stragglers are slotted for the upcoming montage scene, which ended up being a bit slimmer than I originally anticipated (though I did manage to make room for at least one character per patron)! If you see a little subspecies/morph note next to your character, that's just my own little headcanon for how they'd be categorized ...

Nothing Gold Can Stay - Phoebe's Facelift!

Some of you may have been wondering, "dang where are those Nothing Gold updates? Isn't that one supposed to update once a week?" For some behind-the-scenes of what's been going on, I've been sitting on some sketches for upcoming pages and generally just... dreading them, a bit. As much as I like Phoebe's initial design, I was suffering a sort of "death-by-a-thousand-papercuts" effect due to how many aspects there were to it. With elements of her design such as the prongs on her antlers, the a...
