"In Happier News" Redraw Redraw

Ah, shit. I've done it again. 

This one isn't my favourite thing I've ever done, and it's got a few issues, but I'm still happy with it anyway. It's a sure upgrade from the previous two, that's for sure.

Here are all three versions of "In Happier News," in order of when they were made.

A sneak peek at the HL project...

If you know me, you know that I'm always working on some project or other. Usually several big ideas at a time. 

For those of you who haven't been with me long enough to know the whole story on what Heather's Lament is, (I love you thank you for being here!), I'll give a quick rundown first!

The "world" that Total Trauma exists in first came into being in 2015 when I started writing a fanfiction called "Heather's Lament". I was 18 at the time, and deeply attached to ...

Redoing the Jellybean Saga: Part 5

THE THRILLING CONCLUSION!

So here we are, doing the final page of this three parter. Once again, here are the originals to refresh your memory.

The first panel was easy, I knew I wanted to split them with a sort of lightning-strike jagged pattern. The next panel(s) were harder, because I had a hard time fitting the text in a way that made me happy, but I ended up going with these tall, ce...

Redoing the Jellybean Saga: Part 4

I spent the weekend at my grandma's, and now I'm leaving to stay a day or two with my mom, so I haven't had a lot of time at the computer to work! 

So just a quick update for now -- Here's the finished second page!

I'll update with plans for the third page within the next few days!! MWA 

2 updates!

Hiii! 

First update has to do with Patreon tiers. I wanted to change my patreon pricing so that the lowest tier is $5, but I wanted to do it in a way where everyone who has already signed up at the $2 tier can continue to be there and will not be forced to go up a tier. 

I believe that I have successfully done that, by "Unpublishing" the tier. I am a little worried that at the end of the month, it will prompt you to change your tier, bu...

Redoing the Jellybean Saga: Part 3

Part one is finished! It took me a slightly disheartening two solid days of work to get through all the linework. I thought about posting progress while I did lines, but I didn't have much to say about it. Here it is!

I am VERY happy with the outcome! I think Courtney's expressions and poses are especially nice. I love that final panel, and it's a good one to side-by-side with the old one --&nb...

Redoing the Jellybean Saga: Part 2

Here we are again! From here forward I'm gonna tackle these one page at a time, so for starters we're doing Page 1 of the Jellybean Saga. 

I did decide that I wanted to change up the paneling a bit and add a few more. In the first few panels, I'll have Courtney look happily at her present from Cecily (the big jellybean jar) 

Then she'll ask Cecily to come over to her,...

Redoing the Jellybean Saga: Part 1

So, I have decided that I'm going to commit to the lengthy process of recreating a three-page arc -- the Jellybean Saga. If you need a refresher, here are those three pages!

Here are the main things that I am hoping to improve upon with these redraws.

1. I used to slap my characters in front of clip art, and it looks... just SO bad. (Clip art that I paid for! But still.) That kitchen in t...

"No Plans" Total Trauma redraw

Here's some sweet, sweet, patreon exclusive content for you -- I did a redraw of this old page that was desperately in need of some TLC. I'm so happy with the new one!

Triplings Extra

This one wasn't planned to be in the comic, but the other day I had this exchange with Elias IRL and felt like it absolutely needed to be drawn. 

This will probably find its way on to the blog eventually, but for now, you guys get it early.

Total Trauma Outfits (End of V1)

Hey guys! Just thought this would be something cool to post here that you all might like referencing. Here's my line up of outfit references for the end of Volume 1.

What do you want to see on the Total Trauma V1 Cover?

You're probably thinking "It already has a cover," which is true, it's right here --

But there are a few problems with this cover. The main one is that it's the wrong dimensions for the book, which is going to be taller and skinnier. 

At bare minimum, I will have to redraw this on...

Side blog temporarily privated

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you guys here know. 

I received a message warning me that TT is getting a lot of negative attention on Tiktok. I am a sensitive little baby, so I've privated the "totaltrauma" sideblog for a while to try to avoid getting bullied. 

I'm okay / not upset ! Just trying to avoid BEING upset. 

Roots - Total Trauma #67

What sounds more fun?

I could do exclusive streams for patrons, which would be a lot like regular streams, you'd see my screen and listen to me talk, and you could type messages in the chat -- 

Or, instead, I could try just doing a Discord call in the TT server. You would still be able to watch my screen and type to me, but you could also join the call and talk out loud with me and hang out! 

What sounds cool?

"Roots" Preview!

A patron-exclusive preview of #67, Roots! 

This comic should be done pretty soon.. When it is, it'll be available to read here on Patreon a day or two before it goes up publicly! Score!

WELCOME TO THE PATREON!

I'm so excited that you're here, and I can't thank you enough for your support! To start us off, how about the high-res versions of the Tier images?
