Cover updates are going to be a regular thing for OBT as characters grow and change over the course of the comic, and I'm excited to show off all the modified covers I have in store :3c
So here's the first official cover update for Chapter 2! The only change so far is Rune's shorter hair and second tail.
help i'm trapped in falsettos
Small comic featuring potential future character, Akio lamenting about his moms, Rune and Dielle.
Based on the intro to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZKJLyLecJ4
Hey all! I thought I'd share some proposed flavor text blurbs I have for chapters 1-5. I'm going to start posting these at the beginning of each chapter to maybe give a little taste at what's to come. They're subject to change between now and their release, but I don't think it'd hurt to share.
Chapter 1: "Rain can cleanse. Rain can heal. It can also bring with it a new mysterious visitor nobody has ever seen in town before. Or anywhere, really. "
Chapter 2: "The birth...
The birth of a new Exploration Team is near! Look out, because Team Legendary is- wait... What?
The man hanging out with his Vulpix friend. I forgot some small details here and there that will be there in the public release, but the upload time was atrocious enough as-is so this will have to do for now.
Malachi's furniture was a bit of a pain to draw out and I'm gonna regret giving him so much later, but I thought it'd give him a bit more personality than just having this...

At the time of its birth, Vulpix has one white tail. The tail separates into six if this Pokémon receives plenty of love from its trainer.

hey guys sorry this page is 1,000 years late, i finally got my midterms over with which ended up eating a lot of my free time. But hey, this chapter is finally completed! Rune gets a new tail and slightly resembles a more proper Vulpix.
Now that we've completed a chapter, I'm gonna take a sm...

This kid isn't having a great time. Is he waiting for a rescue team?
Hey guys! I just wanted to announce that I now have a page dedicated to current patrons here!: http://onborrowedtime.smackjeeves.com/Patrons/
The list will be updated to reflect on the most current status of supporters, so if you decide you want to become a patron, you'll be added! If you decide at any point you don't want to be a supporter any longer (or otherwise personally request me to), I'll remove...
An alternate banner I was considering for Smackjeeves, ended up not using it because it made the comic seem more dramatic than it's gonna end up being.

So I'm a little behind schedule on the double update thing for this month (I had a big school project dropped in my lap suddenly), so I thought that I'd share the next four pages where, if I'm lucky, I should be able to post the completed versions of by next week!

Some concept art for a future teammate, meet Dielle!
While her character and details are bound to change over time before her first appearance, here's some fun facts about her!
-She's a Sabre Meowth subspecies, which means one of her parents is of either Walrein or Raikou descent. Good luck figuring out which ;)
-She knows sign language! She learned it partially for fun, but also because her teeth make it difficult to talk sometimes. When she does talk, she has a lisp.
-She works...
FINALLY HAVE A BUFFER AGAIN AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH
the late sunset aesthetic was a nice change of pace from the really soft pinks from the earlier sunset
Figured it wouldn't hurt to share a little WIP animatic that I'm doing for fun. At this time I'm about halfway through, all of the spoken dialogue has been covered, I just need to do the visuals for the musical half of this.

Sorry some of these pages are late! Flu kicked my buffer into shreds so I have to start a new one. Hoping to have new pages for Patrons up again soon.

Trivia Thursday today might be late today, by the way! Just got home from a week-long vacation.
Malachi can’t taste anything sweet. As a result, he doesn’t stock any sugar in his house, and doesn’t care for many berries.
2017-12-14 14:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! I wanted to let you all know about an upcoming exclusive feature for my Patreon, Trivia Thursdays! These posts will include fun facts about the cast of OBT, behind-the-scenes information about the creation of the comic, and more! This will be available to Patrons donating $5 and up, so look forward to the first Trivia Thursday coming on December 14th!
2017-12-12 21:59:18 +0000 UTC View Post Night crawls into the room as Rune drifts off to sleep. She finds herself in an open field with a blazing night sky dotted with stars, colors running back and forth above. She turns and sees an intimidating creature of the night. Serpentine in its shape, it somehow looks both terrifying and... Soothing. The creature sees her and turns to face her, and their expression softens.
“There you are.” Their voice is slow and deliberat...
Malachi thoughtfully chews on a Topo berry. “Maybe you’re just sick? I hear there’s a disease that can take your voice away for a few days.” Rune shakes her head. “Should we take you to a doctor? A checkup might be good for you-” Rune slams two paws on the table suddenly, knocking her plate to the ground and spilling Malachi's tea. She shrinks back down apologetically and uses a nearby rag to clean up the mess.
...
Malachi's eyes are cast to the ground, and Rune gives him a concerned glance. “Ah sorry, I was just thinking about the, uh, guild.” He sighs. “My only shot at my dream job and I blew it. What would my dad think…” The stone on his pecha scarf begins to glow, which he swiftly covers up with his paws and a hush. "Not now..." He whispers fiercely.

a summary: "wtf is this"
"closer but what's that lower jaw"

2017-11-28 05:56:39 +0000 UTC View PostMalachi pulls out an Oran berry for Rune. After forming a paste, he hands it to her and instructs, “Put this on your gum, it should disinfect the area, induce blood clotting, and promote cell regrowth.” Rune blinks at him at tilts her head while putting the berry paste on her mouth. He notices how lost she looks and comments, “God sorry I keep doing that. It, uh, heals wounds? Really fast.” He fuddles with the Wonder Bag a little bit. “I still fe...
