Slapstick Together Chapter 1 REBOOT (30)

The dorks have officially entered Judy's bar and have begun their first date!
it's time to get to know each other and see if any feelings start to peek through~

moved the dialogue around a little bit just to frame the characters a bit better,
changed "Shrimpy" to "Taffy" as i think that's a far cuter nickname for Judy to give Leo,
and made the last two panels diagonally sliced instead of the weird, Tetris connection i had in the sketch!

oh! also! i added that little "Na...

Parody Pieces in-between Pages!

i'm gonna maybe pause the mini-comic production for a little bit while i bunker down and focus on cleaning up the sketch pages of my comic reboot! but since i don't wanna leave you hand-holders hanging, i've got these two sketches i've been wanting to clean up! i don't make enough stand-alone pieces so i figured i could do them in between pages, since they're a little easier to clean up!

which of these two would you like to see cleaned up first?

Slapstick Together Chapter 1 REBOOT (29)

phew 💦
having to design a bran new environment always takes FOREVER, especially when i have to design the outside AND the inside! i already had the vibe of Judy's bard in my head, but actually bringing it to the canvas is always a big of a struggle! but with enough persistence, i managed to make it look pretty dang nice, if i do say so myself!

plus, now that the inside is design and the color palette established, doing all the pages INSIDE will be a breeze! (famous last ...

Mini Comic - Taste Like Coffee

after that last mini comic, i wanted to try and make something a little simpler with less moving parts/fewer characters, just to ease my wrists as they accommodate to the heat, but this still ended up taking a bit longer than i anticipated!

still, a nice, simple joke!
Leo likes his coffee how he likes his woman
big and sweet, and first thing in the morning!

Mini Comic - Spare Shirt

It's been a little while, huh folks? June's been quite busy, what with the new Discord Server and what not. not to mention the heat! it's been really kicking my ass and making it harder to work, but i've trucked through it to bring you this comic!

now, i'm not really sure what to say about this mini comic! took me all dang week to draw, and although it conveys a fair bit of subtext about the characters and provides a good bit of fan service, i do still feel like the overall "joke" is a...

Slapstick Together Chapter 1 REBOOT (28)

phew! it's been a little while, but i've finally maned up and cleaned up the page with the most shots of Leos car!

i am, quite honestly, despite my inexperience with cars, so happy with how Leo's looks!!
it's so fun and colorful and i think it really suits him!

This page stayed more or less the same! i tweaked some dialogue placement, made the two Leos in the first panel a little bigger (and shifted the arm position of the first one), PLUS, added some dialogue to the Leo in t...

Mini Comic - Cartoonishly Lightweight

I always go out of my way to make sure my characters look as appealing and cute as possible, but sometimes, i have to dip my toe into the ugly pool to make an absolutely horrible joke.

i PROMISE you, the next mini comic will make up for this one! i just had to get this AWFUL joke out of my system, since it had been there for a while

still, i hope you got a kick out of it~
(i still did my best to draw them slightly less horrifying than the actual Beavis and Butt-head)

The Slapstick Together Discord Server is Live!

If you've already connected your Discord account to your Patreon account, you've likely already been THRUST into the server! I didn't expect everyone to just get piled in so suddenly, but it sure padded out the server a good bit, right quick!

Once folks are a bit more settled in and everyone's had a chance to get their roles and bearings, i want to put up a server poll to get some custom emojis drawn for it, with some suggestions from you guys! So don't miss out! i'd love to hear your ...

Discord Server in the works!

Howdy folks! Leo here, with some exciting news!

i know it's been a little quiet in here this week, but it's for good reason! i've been throwing together a little Discord server, and doing some art for it too!

it'll have Patreon integration, so you folks will have your own little lounge to hangout and chat with me and other patrons (based on what tier you're subscribed to!)

i'm currently working out the kinks, but i plan on opening it up sometime tomorrow to you guys! it'l...

Mini Comic - Ice Cream Lady

rare sight of Stevie and Magna actually getting along!
plus, Leo getting some comeuppance for being a stick in the mud~

always good to have Leo take an L, as the kids say
plus, beach time comics! the heat is coming in, and so i think this marks the start of a hand full of beach/heat related comics!

that ice cream lady sure seems familiar, huh..

Mini Comic - Special Guest

i cast, overstimulation!

look at tall the stuff going on in this mini comic! it's nuts!!

i wanted to show a bit of the Stevie x Max dynamic! plus, show off Max doing his streaming business! his main income source! he's not a huge streamer yet, but he gets by, especially with the help of his buddy~

you folks get some bonus, clean panels, with less clutter!
i already had to restrain myself to not add a bunch of collectibles in the background/on Max's desk!

also, ...

The Slapstick Together 2023 Collection!

and the final and latest load!!

Expect a 2024 compilation by the end of this year!

The Slapstick Together 2022 Collection!

Here's the second load! One more to go!

The Slapstick Together 2020-2021 Collection!

Feast your eyes, folks!

i've put together some handy-dandy bundles of all the art i've put out relating to Slapstick Together through the 3-4 years i've worked on it!

i even made some nice li'l covers for each bundle, as you can see above~

i'll likely release these bundles some time next week, as i still have to work up a price and what not for them, but since a big majority of this stuff is already available here for you lovely Patrons, i figured i'd save you the work an...

Slapstick Together Chapter 1 REBOOT (27)

Starting May off with another page! getting some steady progress going these couple days, hope to keep it that way!

This one stayed pretty much the same! i really like that big close up of Magna! excited to see how it looks once it's printed!

tiny little dialogue shifts here and there, nothing massive! and a tiny shift in Leos expression on the third panel! otherwise, like i said, pretty true to the source material!

..it's JUST dawned on me that all of the little page-num...

Swapstick Together - Morning Alarm Animatic

Y'know what? here!
Have a very hastily-put-together little animatic! it's just a little short i found that i thought fit the Swapstick Together theme

since Magna is a much more modern toon than Leo is, i can see her having an actual alarm on her phone, instead of Leo's usual alarm clock!

Mini Comic - Unkempt, Prickly & Smooth

Time to give Stevie a spot in the spotlight!

i've been thinking of a few ways to show off how Stevie is, in fact, an adult entertainer! one of those, cam-fellas, y'know the ones. Those sexy streamers! whatever you wanna call em!

so i figured a little taste of his merchandise was the right way to go about it~

and as a little bonus, you guys get a good look at those pics without any filters on them!
i'm really happy with how they turned out, i think they really show off ...

Slapstick Together Chapter 1 REBOOT (26)

Another page done!

This one stayed pretty much the same, i tried to play around with some color shenanigans, but ultimately kept it pretty tame!

i changed Leo's pose a bit in the second panel, and made Leo look EXTRA like Clark Kent in the fifth panel, to drive the joke home!

i also might go back and change the book he's swearing the oath on. I made it a Minecraft Enchantment book, but it STILL look a bit too much like the Bible, and i'd like to make it some kinda joke! i...

Slapstick Together Chapter 1 REBOOT (25)

We're back, baby!
Back on the grind!

Already had a good chunk of this page drawn from the previous batch of pages, so i managed to clean it up relatively quickly! helped me get back into the swing of it too!

So! very minor dialogue changes this time around. the major difference i'd say is in the-
(one, two, three, four...) SEVENTH panel! i decided to change the angle around to add a bit of diversity and show off Magna's butt a bit, i don't give it nearly e...

Mini Comic - Friend Discount

we've been showing plenty of love towards the girls lately, but i've got a few ideas cooking to give the boys some time in the spotlight! and yes, they will most likely be somewhat nerdy in nature, but what can i say! i'm a big nerd and i love nerd culture, so if i try my best to introduce it into my stories whenever i can!

i also had a ton of fun designing the cards for this pseudo-animal crossing game, though the designs for the characters i already had in my back pocket since last y...

Keeping you up to speed!

Howdy folks!
Hope April's been treating you well so far!

Let's not prance around with idle chit-chat too long and get right to it, shall we?

-Concerning the lack of new content -

As i mentioned in some recent social media posts, my mental health took quite the hit last week. I couldn't get any significant work done, and was overall, not having a great time.

Still, i wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who stuck around and even voiced your support during ...

Speedpaint - Swapstick Together

Here's a thirteen minute long Speedpaint compressed into just one!

i'm tempted to make a commentary track for a longer version of this speedpaint where i go through some of my thought process behind the toon-ification of some of my characters.

Please let me know if that's something you guys would be interested in seeing/hearing!

in the mean time, enjoy this quick glance into the chaos that was bringing this piece to life

Swapstick Together Sprawl

Alright FINE
Here's ONE final Swapstick Together piece for this year, a nice big sprawl showing off everyone's toonyness

i know i already posted it on my socials, but i'm dropping it here too to go along with the speedpaint PLUS, letting you guys download it in high quality below, if you're interested!

Also, it's only now that i noticed that i forgot to give Max his shirt logo... oh well. let's call it.. Toon Simplicity! Toons like to keep their designs simple! Right? Right!?...

Mini Comic - Hand Wash Only (April Fools)

one final mini comic for the April Fools Swapstick Together event!

sadly, there's only 3 days left, and i don't think i could crank out another comic for it, even if i could think of a joke for it!

I hope you've all enjoyed this little swap
i know i did! and i can't wait to draw them again some time! i'd love to make a full "short" comic about Leo and Magna's initial reaction to the swap (even though this would technically be an alternate universe sorta deal, i think for a bi...

Mini Comic - Toon Wars (April Fools)

not ME using this non-canon opportunity to push the Toon Wars concept again, i would NEVER-

but seriously, in this scenario, or AU (Alternate Universe) where Leo is the ONLY human and everyone else is a Toon, it makes perfect sense to have the Toon Wars be canon, so i went ahead and had a TON of fun making this comic!

just the idea of those four in all these ludicrously slapstick heavy situations fills my heart with joy.

i'm also throwing in a couple little bonuse...
