Another strange year has flown by. As my grandpappy used to say, "just keep loadin' and shootin.' I'll do the same.

Hope you're all well.

The finished version of page 227 will be up on the site soon. 🤧 I've been in bed with a cold the last several days. Sorry for the additional delay; I shouldn't have left things to the last minute.😅

Loroi Star System Diagrams

In the category of "I did this instead of what I was supposed to be doing":

I made a solar system diagram for the Insider article on Perrein that I've been gradually working on -- in the style of NASA JPL-created examples that I have long admired -- and because I can't leave well enough alone, I went ahead and made three more for Taben, Seren and Deinar. Well, I had fun doing it, ...

Hope this finds you well.

I'm trying to develop some momentum with updates, which obviously hasn't been terribly successful of late, but I feel a little bit better after having done this page. I was feeling a bit lost working page 227, as the other stuff that I've been spending most of my time working on recently is art related but doesn't involve much actual drawing, and I guess I've been getting rusty. But at least working on this page gave me back some confidence that I can still dra...

Don't you hate it when the Umiak knock on your door and want to talk about your personal relationship with The Gatherers?

Bellarmine Crew Patches

An enterprising reader made up some Bellarmine crew patches, and is offering some for sale. He sent me a few examples, and they're very nice. See the links below for his store page, and the post on my forums elaborating on it.

Just a Status Post

This is just a post to say that everything is fine with me, I've just been taking some time to get out the next page. I think I've been getting too far ahead with the WIP pages, so I wanted to wait until I've posted the next finished page, which I've been struggling with a little bit... but I hope to have it up soon.

I'd like to get into a rhythm of posting where I post a finished page to the website and then a WIP page to Patreon when they're done, rather than waiting until the end of ...

I originally had this scene set when Alex and Beryl were still guarding the magazine, and Alex was contemplating whether he should deliberately try to set off one of the torpedoes. But I think it fits better here.

I hope you are enjoying a pleasant holiday, and accept my wishes for a better 2024.

Without color and effects and cues, this page is probably confusing as hell. Alas.

Thanks as always for your support!

Outsider page 265 (reupload)

As I mentioned earlier in the month, pages 264 and 265 were not monetized last month due to a change in the Patreon UI that led to an entry error. So, I am reuploading them.   

I plan to also upload new page(s) tomorrow, so if you don't want to be charged for more than two posts this month, and you have not already done so, you can change your patron settings to cap the maximum amount that can be charged per month.  

If you have any questions or concerns about this,...

Patreon Issues November 2023

As I feared might be the case, the change in the Patreon UI has meant that the posts I made yesterday are not being charged for. So if you have noticed that your accounts weren't charged for patronage to me today, that's why.

So what I will probably have to do is re-post those pages, which is irritating but there's not any way around it that I can see, and they won't be charged for until next month. But be assured that you aren't being charged twice for these pages (264 & 265). I'm...

Patreon has updated their UI again, and either they've eliminated some features or successfully made them harder to find. Hopefully this doesn't impact your use of the site too much.
