At Terra's suggestion, Eli and his father give it another go.

Terra reveals her reality and brings Eli back to his.

Looks like Eli got tackled by his no-good step brother. Well I'm sure that's the only surprising thing that'll happen today...

New Wiki!

Hey there kids! I decided that this story is complicated enough, with enough interconnected characters that I'm just going to make a place where we can work together to compile information and keep things straight. I've already made a handful of pages and plan to add some more, but I appreciate any help you'd like to provide in fleshing out this resource! Keep it PG on there though, or as close to it as you can, since it isn't behind an age filter on that site. Thanks as always for your suppo...

Roughing the McKaber - Preview 2

We find out who's behind the tackle in the flashback, and learn some new information about Terra, Eli's Step-mom. Even with a history and baggage of her own, she might just be the most stable adult in Eli's life right now.

Flashback time again! We see the McKabers clash in this flashback to another formative moment in Eli's past.

Here we rejoin Cliff and Eli as they return home from the theater. I wonder who's calling out to our Eli?

Finally finished laying out the planned pages for this next segue sequence. Looks like it's time for another formative flashback.
Wonder who just tackled Eli?

And as we draw to a close, Eli panics and Cliff shows he wasn't paying attention.
Thanks guys for your company as we worked through this story! I'm excited to show you the next one. I plan to go back and retouch some of the earlier pages, but those should mostly be minor edits. The full comic will repost tomorrow without notification so you can see the entire story in one fell swoop if you feel like dropping back in. See you back here soon for the next Segue comic, "Roughing the McKaber."...

In the penultimate page of our story, Eli sneaks back into place in the theater, not knowing Kai is more aware than he lets on.
I'm excited to finish up this story! Only one page left and I can show you where we're going next! Thanks as always for your support!

Eli goes on a proper date with Kai, with Cliff in tow to help him out, but things quickly go off the rails when Kai's troublesome brother Gavin shows his face again.
More pages will be added to this post, as well as posted separately as they are finished.

Roughing the McKaber (Preview)

I've been in a slight rut finishing out Blockbusted, so I took a moment and planned out the next few pages of the connecting comic that will follow it and set us up for the next feature length comic. I'll share a larger preview with upper level patrons once I finish Blockbusted, but I just wanted to send you guys something to satiate you for a moment so you didn't think I had died or something.
I'll hopefully have something more substantive for you very soon. Thanks for your patience! View Post

Blockbusted - Page 19

Cliff tries and fails to keep Kai in the dark, not realizing he's been in on it all along.

Sorry for the delay this week, I've been on vacation and have been relaxing and enjoying the sights of New England. But I've also found some time to get some work done so here's the latest page!

Blockbusted - Final Preview

Our final preview, these are the last 5 pages in this comic. Now that you know what's going on, does it change how you feel about our characters? Will Cliff tell Eli what he knows? Will Eli ever come clean to Kai? Will Gavin just keep meddling? Only time will tell! Thanks as usual for your support and for following along!

I got distracted a number of times drawing this one, the next page should explain some things that readers may have been curious about. As usual, upper level patrons will get a sneak peak at that page before the rest. Thanks again for following along! I hope you're enjoying the spectacle! Cliff sure is...

Eli takes his position at Tyler's available position. Ty wastes little time welcoming Eli to the party.

Okay, enough keeping Eli on the sidelines. It's time our main character joined the fray.

Oop! Looks like Eli's miring himself further in trouble, and now it looks like they might just have a voyeur in there with them!

Happy pride month! Here's some smut!

This is the first page in a while where none of the panels have Cliff or Eli in them. Don't worry, they're back on the next page. ;P

preview for the next three pages is out to upper level patrons tomorrow.

This is by far my favorite page I've gotten to draw for this comic. It combines a lot of fun pictures, with the mixed emotions of the moment. From Tyler, feeling embarrassed but emboldened, Eli tentatively stepping further into the mire he finds himself in, and Gavin calling the shots after putting the other boys in their place for acting holier-than-thou, it's a wild scene and we're just getting going.

In other news, "Where There's Smoke..." will start posting on Twitter, BlueSky a...

Gavin calls out Tyler and puts him on the spot. Embarrassed but very turned on, Tyler admits what he wants, and gets it.

Blockbusted - Preview 5

Things get spicy as Gavin steps Eli and Tyler through an expression of boundaries, and how they can work in Woodport.

Uh oh... This may be escalating...

Preview of the next few pages will be coming tomorrow for upper level patrons!

Uh oh, looks like Tyler may have pushed back on Gavin a little too much, or just enough?

Unrelated, Cabaret Bara just did his version of his main character Finn in my style, by his own hand. He did an excellent job, and it's a pretty cool project and a neat way to see the same character in a variety of cool artist's trademark signatures.

Finally alone to contemplate his situation, Eli isn't left with his thoughts long before a sense of conscience enters the picture, followed shortly after by abject depravity personified.

Hanging at Jack 'n Out Burger

I decided to take a bit and really flesh out an illustration. Eli sitting in his trusty hatchback, still adorned with Arizona plates. Cliff feeding Buddy a french fry. Wood Corp Tower in the distance, It's a beautiful "moment in time" to be lost in. Let's watch the sunset and hang out with these three for a little while.

Thanks everyone for your patience. We'll be back with more comic pages shortly. Hope you enjoy this piece in the meanwhile, it'll be serving as a promotional image so...

(WIP) Chilling in the parking lot

At the moment I'm working on an illustration as a promotional piece and I'm trying to take my time on it and do it right. I thought I'd show you my process so you don't think I'd disappeared. Still not sure I'm done with all the base aspects yet, but this is what I've got so far. Still gotta finalize some partsand then get into lighting, shading, and detailing.
Debating redrawing the far background buildings, and I still need to add a transparency layer to the windows of the car so it loo...
