This is cross posted from my main website
Fame and Misfortune was a book I went into with several goals. I wanted to get better at writing and drawing action. I wanted the cast to be mostly female. I wanted to improve my black and white only art. And I wanted it to work as a decent intro to The City Between series, though at the time I didn’t have a name for the series. I tried ...

Hey all! Last year when Patreon rolled out that shitty fee change I said I would drop Patreon as soon as I got a Drip invite. Well, here's my shiney new Drip!
Most of the rewards/goals are the same. I'll keep posting stuff here until everyone moves over but I highly encourage you...

Hey folks, I currently don't have anything to do writer notes for except for stuff that isn't out yet and Fame and Misfortune, which isn't easy to break up. So I'm putting writer notes on hold until next year.

Patreon posted this today. So you folks don't need to worry about getting charged extra.
Thank you everyone who spoke up. It shows that when unite they can be heard. Thanks for everyone who stuck around.
I'm still gonna switch over to Drip once it's public because Patreon still hasn't fixed all the other stuff I pointed out. But a lot of those are wha...

2017-12-08 03:31:45 +0000 UTC View PostPatreon Changes Fees instead of fixing anything
Hey folks,
I just wanted you to know Patreon is changing how their fees work. It is a terrible choice. What used to happen is if you pledge for a $1 I got roughly .63. The rest went to Patreon and Credit Card companies in processing fees. I'm fine with this because it's something myself and really any artist or small business person knows about. That level is set up with me knowing I will get less than a dollar.
Patreon wants to change their fees so I get $0.95 of every dolla...
2017-12-07 19:30:59 +0000 UTC View PostChange Patreon a bit.
I'm pairing down my patreon in general because I'm going through a rough time with some family stuff. It's mentally and emotionally very draining. It's basically left me tired, depressed, and frustrated. I don't want to really go into the details but the short version my mom is in rehab.
And while I've been trying to get more focus on this patreon to give myself something to worry about less worry about in my hard time, most of the stuff I added has been met with disinterest and a few co...

Hey folks, just wanted to let you know that my writer notes are switching to once a month. Mostly because what I have left writer note wise is the Buffy books I wrote, Fame and Misfortune, and The Better to Find You With. If I kept doing them weekly I'd run out of stuff to write about in January. This way I run out in June. Then I will hopefully have a new thing to talk about.

While I'm in between big projects I wanted to do an exercise to get better at designing covers. So I'm making title cards for Buffy episodes. I did roughs for every episode of season 1 and $5 patreon backers got to vote on which ones I finished up.
This is for episode 7 Angel. I wanted to keep Angel in shadow so that the title card didn't give too much away, even though cultural osmiss means everyone already knows he's a vampire. Since Angel focused episodes are usually more romance focu...

Here's the first one. This is for Episode 2 the Harvest. I tried to make a scyth shape with the Master's hand and put a bunch of partiers in the center since the baddies target the Bronze.
