Hello all! It is time to do the December newsletter, and also share with you the results of the roadmap poll and my plans for the year.
What a whirlwind it's been on my end!
Bonus Comic Processes
December's bonus comic was the first bonus comic to need an extended deadline. And it's not surprising, because I've had some difficulties getting scripts written an...

No time to read your dumb book, Milo! It's FACT-FINDING TIME!
Per the request of some others, I've made the last two panels available in a meme format. [Have fun making Oakewood look at a picture of *whatever you want!*](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/727212624500097235/795722320072409109/Picture_Meme.png)
Previous months' bonus comics are now available on the Tamberlane Shop!
You guys voted that you wanted to be able to purchase the comics after the fact, and more than that, to share the profit with the artists who made them! And I definitely agree with that.
So now after 3 months, the comics will be available for public purchase. Until then, they'll be available for Patron purchase via passcode!

2021-01-04 18:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! Still on a break, and I've been genuinely taking time off this time, I swear. (Mostly going, what's a hobby? How do I fill this time?? The answer has been Webtoons!) But while I've been taking time off, I've been thinking about where to focus this year, and figured I'd get your guys' opinions.
Right now I'm tugged in a lot (a lot) of different directions. Drilling down to only 2 or 3 big focuses will help me keep my output consistent and turn away work that doesn't fi...

Happy 2021! To celebrate a brand-new (and hopefully better) year, I wanted to share that I am now offering annual subscriptions to the Tamberlane Patreon at a 16% discount! That means that when you commit to a year's worth of support on Patreon, you will receive 2 months of patronage (and all associated content) free!
Regardless of the level you choose to pledge, that means you gain immediate access to all content for that tier for significantly less than a month-to-month pledge, all as...

2021-01-01 03:02:37 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! How are you doing?
I hope your holidays have been holi-great! Ah hah hah hah~ Puns.
Okay so, here's the deal. I've been working my butt off lately, and it is occurring to me that I am burning my candle at both ends. I didn't take many breaks this month. Even though I didn't post a comic during my birthday week, I still spent it working and catching up; and though I took Christmas off, I worked through the weekend to make up for it. Although, I guess my body did make me ta...

Only a few days left to pledge and gain access to next month's bonus comic by Michael "Neon Noble" Nicolosi! Dropping January 5th is a patrons-only comic titled "The Campsite Rule," which takes a look into Oakewood's youth and love life.
After his boyfriend's recent departure, Claude Oakewood is feeling the heartache. But perhaps his wandering friend Julian can cheer him up.

Hey y'all! Happy Boxing Day! Hope your holidays were as merry as they could be in this weird-ass year.
Just giving you another little peek at January's bonus comic, The Campsite Rule! A young Oakewood romance, where Claude recovers from heartbreak with his friend, Julian!
Have you guys been enjoying the bonus comics? They're a ton of work, but I love doing them. I love getting to pack in all the story and lore for folks that probably won't see the light of day in...

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who donated to the pay what you want sketch stream for Izzy!! I had a blast drawing all of your characters!
Thanks to you guys, we managed to fund my half of the goal by 150% -- almost 175% even!! That's INCREDIBLE :D
I'm so so happy to be able to send this money on to her so she has a comfortable cushion now. Y'all rock. Thank you so much!
2020-12-24 19:59:31 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! As mentioned in this post, I'm doing some Pay What You Want sketches to help Izzy out. Here's all the information you need to know to log in and watch!

Pop goes the Yote Brain!
I hope you guys enjoyed the little bit of guest art! I had a good birthday week that allowed me to take it slightly easy but still catch up on lots of work that needed doing!
Happy early Christmas, y'all -- hope it's as bright as it can be this year!
Whew, jumping around tasks a lot, but the page is ready to go up tomorrow for regular patrons!
As thanks for y'all's enthusastic patience, have some commentary:
Artist's Commentary
I don't have anything to say about the layout itself or the comic stuff therein this time around; you can probably discern why I did what I did cuz there's nothing super tricky going on here.
Instead I'm gonna talk a little bit about writing with lore and stuff! 2020-12-22 23:04:24 +0000 UTC View Post
Now that CSP has auto-timelapse, I'm gonna start having a bunch of timelapse videos to share! +w+ Enjoy this quick little timelapse of working on the Prism piece I posted yesterday!

On Wednesday and Thursday, I'll be doing Pay What You Want Sketches to contribute to the fundraiser for Izzy, the artist behind Mothorial, and also the "Heart Questions" bonus comic with Briar and Milo!

2020-12-22 01:54:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhew, okay, so! After that awesome feedback y'all gave me in that survey, I had some great ideas tossed at me for bonus comics!
I've found that my biggest weakness right now is getting the scripts done and out to the artists far enough ahead that they have plenty of time to work on it. The ideal is 2 months, but I'm cutting it close to 1 or even less lately. And especially since these artists all have their own work or comics to focus on, not to mention school or dayjobs, that's rough!&...

There's a little "Merry Christmas" message set to go out on the 25th and I wanted to have a cute little image to go with it. I could reuse assets I already have, but where's the fun in that???
Enter possibly the least Christmassy drawing :P
I feel like the thing most of us are missing this year is the ability to see family, so I really wanted to bring in a cute family picture. After a discussion the other night on the Foxglove Discord about how cute babby Belfry and Briar...

Hey guys! If you look over at my Patreon page, there's a rare sight to behold: a free slot for the Resident of Abroad Tier! This $250 tier only has 4 slots in total, and those that pledge at that level are pretty jealous of their spot there, so it's rare for one to come free.
Abroad folks are the only folks who get a piece from me every single month. My energy is very limited and it's very rare for me to open for commis...

Make sure you're pledging at least $5 to receive January's bonus comic, coming up on January 5th!
“The Campsite Rule”, featuring the art of the amazing Michael "Neon Noble" Nicolosi, is a romance story featuring a young Oakewood.
After his boyfriend's recent departure, Claude Oakewood is feeling the heartache. But perhaps his wandering friend Julian can cheer him up.

Heyyyy, it's my birthday week! Yay!
I intended to flood a bunch of awesome guest art on the site this week, but I have been *exhausted* and I've got so much other work to catch up on while I take this short upload break. Oof. So unfortunately I'm going to stick to just this one!

It should be super quick, and all the questions are optional.
Thank you so much! This will help me a LOT moving forward!
