Wallpaper Update!

I got a little overambitious with this one, but it's about 80% done! Just a couple more tweaks and it'll be ready for you guys. I'm so sorry I've made you wait so long this month!

Ch4 Pg8 HIRES

Dang, son. I am now very apprehensive of getting pages back from Yoko because of this one. How much darker are we gonna get?

A big thanks to my $5 Patrons for helping me out a little bit on this page! It came out reeeeeeaaaal nice. Look at all them textures.

Ch4 Pg7 PREVIEW

2 down, 635468413219845432796874321 more to go.

Ch4 Pg6 HIRES

You can read the page on the main site here: http://www.daughterofthelilies.com/

So I posed a question there that I will here as well - I couldn't decide whether or not this page needed dialogue, and to err on the side of caution, I just left it out entirely. I dunno, though. What do you guys think?

I've seriously got to finish this month's wallpaper for you guys. This is getting ridiculous!

Ch4 Pg5 HIRES

Main Site: http://www.daughterofthelilies.com/

So I have a buffer but the next page isn't part of it - I'll be spending the day drawing a million head-twisted bodies climbing all over each other up a lightning bolt. 

CRAZY TIMES

Ah, the life of a part-time web cartoonist. I really wouldn't trade this for anything, actually.

Aw.

It's only, like $4 and 4 cents, though. I'll keep the Tue/Thurs updates anyway.

October Wallpaper Inks are done! Woo!

I'm cutting it a bit close this month - woof! But coloring this beast is going to be a lot of fun. I didn't realize how little I have actually drawn Lyra being a super cool kick butt chick. It's really fun, actually.

She laughs in the face of death, hahahahaha.

Ch4 Pg4 HIRES

Thank you so much for the support this month, guys! <3

Happy October!

Ch4 Pg3 HIRES

Bwoop! Ain't life grand? Nothing can get to me today! Not even the fiendish hellscape whose boundaries are even now, this very second, are being torn to shreds, so that nothing stands between it and our lavish, idyllic world! See, all you need is just a good attitude, and everything works itself out just fine.

October Wallpaper PREVIEW

Originally, I was going to put this to vote, but the more I worked on the second of these concepts the more in love with it I fell. So that's probably the one we're gonna get (unless I hear anything otherwise). I mean, it is Halloween Month - we need something especially spooky.

Gosh, I'm really up against the deadline, but I'm going to have fun with this one. I freaking love werewolves. Best monster. I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

Ch4 Pg2 HIRES

To be fair, I think he knows a little bit more than the previous teacher did. 

Time to Wreck Something Else

Ch4 Pg1 HIRES

And here we go! Ah man, with all the rushing around and the livestream yesterday, I COMPLETELY forgot about this whole part of the routine! How could I? Man, it's one of the most important parts! 

Hi, everyone! Did you miss me? By which I mean I was never really gone, just the me posting comic pages for you to read.

New Patrons - you can download the page at its original, huge, detail loaded size by clicking on the download link below the image! Thank you for your support! 2015-09-22 15:53:55 +0000 UTC View Post

STREAMING (ALL DONE!)

Thank you so much for joining me, guys! I ended up streaming for 9 hours straight. I tried to get to as many requests as I could - I hope you like them! Be sure to tune in to the website tomorrow for the start of Chapter 4!

MONDAY'S SECRET PATRON STREAM

Aw, yeah! It's happening!

The streaming will start around 12 PM EST, and will go all day, barring any bathroom breaks and lunch hours I take.

I'll be streaming on my Picarto Channel, here: https://picarto.tv/MegSyv

A post will go up here on Patreon once the stream starts. 

There's still time to get some art requests in, if you'd like me to draw something for you! You can leave a comment he...

Ch4 Title (Version 1)

Here's the original version of the cover that I ended up discarding after rewriting the script because it wasn't relevant to the story any more.

I'm actually much happier with the newer version. I can't wait to show it to you!

There ended up being THREE versions of this cover - I'll post the other rejected copy once Chapter 4 because it has SPOILERS. Kind of. At least, it kind of spoils what happens in the chapter. You'll see what I mean when you see it.

SECRET PATRON STREAM?

YO, guys. Y'all have been AMAZING this past month, patiently supporting me even though I've been stuck in the black whole that is semi-writer's block and indecision. So I am now back to making comic pages since all the hard work is done, I'm more than ready for another Patreon/Patron Livestream for y'all!

I'd like to do it next week sometime - ideally, I'd like to do it all day Monday before the start of Chapter 4, and post the cover to the chapter on the website around the same time, but ...

Ch4 Trimmings (Part 2)

So many trimmings. So many.

Here are two pages from two different concepts that both didn't end up making the cut. I just couldn't figure out how to take them from these points, but I still like the energy and emotion in them. 

The concept on the left page is one I'm hanging onto, though. It'll probably make it into the comic at some point.

Ch4 Trimmings (Part 1)

I think I finally - FINALLY - finished the rewrite, and my gosh, it was worth every bit of trouble it gave me. You guys, I seriously can't wait for you to read it.

Here are some items from the script that didn't make the final cut. There are so many of them that I'll have to make another post for them. They might go up tomorrow.

WORK WORK WORK WORK

BWAUGH! You guys, I'm so sorry to make you wait for your rewards for this month. Thank you so, so much for being patient with me. I'm so sorry to make you wait.

My priority is to keep you happy - and I've been feeling pretty dang self conscious and anxious lately about neglecting you. I'm really sorry - I can't wait to get back to posting pages and cool art and whatnot.

I can't even imagine the kind of torture you blessed $10 Patrons are going through - I've just been a bit slow with get...

Rewriting 75% of Chapter 4 and realizing that you may have to redo the cover.

- because it may no longer be applicable.

Awesome.

At least I can post it here to show YOU guys. 

Drath Lineup Ref

Here's a little something I had to put together while I was working on the script for Chapter 4. Even after making this rough reference, the Drath ended up being a lot bigger than I originally realized. 

(Is it weird that the point of reference for his height is Orrig #3's Nipple Line?)

Finally

This is the face we've been waiting for.

REALIZATION

NEXT MONTH IS OCTOBER

HALLOWEEN THEMED WALLPAPER

YES

oh dear

I have  to run to Kinko's and print out a couple pages today that need to be done in pencil.

Wallpaper #002 - The Cast

And here is September's Wallpaper for y'all! Thank you so much for this month's support!

(Are you guys cool with the idea of me maybe posting this on the website in a couple month's time for the public, too?)

This is my good side

I realized when I started inking this that this was the first time I had drawn him from this angle - and oh my gosh I need to find more excuses for it.

Detail Shot : Fairy

Here's a closeup of that fairy from the Hivemill Store Banner for y'all's enjoyment.

Future DotL Merch Requests?

So I'm still trying to get my act together on this and make a To Do list, but do any of you have specific requests or ideas of some things you'd like to see in the store? 

Who knows! You might be able to buy a "World's Best Orc Dad Boss" coffee mug, or a map of the world, or anything else that we may come up with.

I'm compiling ideas and trying to get an idea of what will appeal to the peoples, so I'm pretty open.
