Hivemill Store Header (done!)

Still have to tweak a little something here and there to clean it up, but I'm really freaking pleased with how it turned out. 

Thank goodness! I was really scared there for a bit because the colors weren't working, but it came together in the end.

(That thing's a fairy. They're super cute. I can't wait to drop them in the comic somewhere.)

Hivemill Store Header

Something for the future DotL store.

I am having the weirdest art day.

Look at this stupid smug turd.

I think I love him.

boom

From the same freaking page. 

I've spent 3 days just on this page so far. I can't stand it. Onto page 2.

My gosh this was a pain in the butt.

I can't wait to trash this place.

Ch3 Pg39 HIRES - END OF CH 3

The end of Chapter 3! Sorry for the cliffhanger, guys.

So on the website, I formally made the announcement that the comic is going to update every Tues/Thurs because y'all's support (thanks again!), and that I was going to ease into that by updating with Reader Questions every Tues/Thurs.

I just want to clarify for those who are worried - though I stated before that I can only update twice a week for every month I actually get $500, this ONLY applies to actual comic...

Chapter 4 Title: the Suffering Servant

Officially had to break it into two parts! Chapter 4 is now what would have been the first part, and Chapter 5 will be the second. 

I still need Reader Questions!

Help me help me! I still need a couple so that I can have a buffer for September! Hit me up!

EDIT: Guys, these are AMAZING. Keep 'em coming!

September 2015 Wallpaper PREVIEW

Just finished - and I'm not gonna lie - I'm pretty dang pleased with it!

So guys, as far as these things go, please feel free to leave any ideas or requests you have for any future wallpapers on any Wallpaper related posts. I copy my favorites into a file I keep in my Patreon Folder, and I look at it all the time. 

Both of the wallpapers I've done so far have been inspired by ideas suggested by Paul Warren. Thanks, dude!

September Wallpaper Preview!

Your next wallpaper reward, everyone. 

Ch 4 Script - UPDATE

Double page spreads are a thing now. I'm making them a thing.

The script for Chapter 4 is now mostly finalized, and it's another monster (about 34 pages). Remember how the first two chapters had less than 20 pages apiece?

Those were the days.

Ch3 Pg38 HIRES

Huh. For some reason this didn't post correctly. Sorry.

New $20 Reward Tier!

In the middle of writing again today, and I had an idea for a reward tier since this chapter has SO MANY FREAKING BACKGROUND CHARACTERS, and it's hard coming up with names for all of them! So for you $20+ Patrons, are you okay with me dropping your names in as cameos to fill those spaces? Do you guys think it's a fair reward? Thoughts?

August Patreon Wallpaper Teaser

Here's a detail from the Wallpaper that just went live for Patrons! Not gonna lie, I'm pretty pleased with it - it's the first time I've colored my own artwork in what feels like forever!

Wallpaper #001 - In The Inn

Guys, you did it! Not only did y'all get us PAST the $500 mark (TUESDAY/THURSDAY UPDATES FOR THE FIRST MONTH OF CHAPTER 4!), but monthly wallpapers are now officially a thing, and here is your very first one! I hope you like it!

If you don't see your monitor size, just grab the closest size. Let me know if you have any issues!

Haha, oh boy, this is embarrassing, but I can't remember the last time I colored my own stuff! Some of you with larger monitors might see all the messy ...

Ch3 Pg37 HIRES

Good morning, Patrons! Happy Monday!

Patreon is still in the middle of charging all your cards, and I'm anxiously awaiting the final total. (OH MY GOSH I'M SO NERVOUS AND EXCITED PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET US BE ABLE TO UPDATE TWICE A WEEK PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE)

Once I get the final result, I'll start distributing all your rewards. I finished the first Patron Wallpaper this weekend, and not to brag, but I'm pretty dang pleased with how the thing looks. I can't wait to give it to ...

Ch4 Script Status PREVIEW

Here's a thing I posted to Tumblr, but took down right away because I didn't want to share anything publicly just yet.

I've been under a bit of radio silence this week just because scripting always seems to take 1000000 times more concentration, energy, and focus than anything else I've ever done in my life, and the rest of the world disappears while I'm trying to figure out what the heck is going on in this alternate world I've created.

Sorry I'm so quiet as of late. I'm still only ...

Hello, Writer's Block, My Old Friend

First drafts of scripts are hard.

Ch3 Pg36 HIRES

I guess you all saw that one coming.

Upcoming Hiatus and Reader Questions!

Hey, let me ask you a semi-serious question: would y'all be upset if I took a 1 month hiatus to build up a buffer for the next chapter, which at this point looks like it's going to have two pages a week? I mean, I haven't even finished finalizing the script yet and I'm kind of stressing out about it.

Also, Reader Questions! I usually drop those between chapters so I can at least keep updating the website and so that you guys have something to see while you wait for the next chapter ...

Ch4 Pg1 - SCRIPT

Since y'all have been so amazing this month and there are so many newcomers (HELLO!), and I've been less than amazing when it comes to showering you guys with content, here is the first page of Chapter 4. 

Ch3 Pg35 HIRES

Hello, all you new Patrons! Here, have a high resolution copy of today's page so that you can appreciate all the squashed frog details!

Aren't you so glad you joined? Life is so grand!

Wallpaper #1: Sneak Peek 2

Aw man, I really like how Lyra came out.

The GamePlan

(Sorry for the massive text wall, dudes and dudettes, but this is all semi-important information you're entitled to, and I want to make sure you get everything you need. We're a team, y'know.)

Two orders of business today, y'all:

First: Hooooly cow. Words cannot even express how overwhelmed I am at the moment - or really, have been for the past several days. Hitting that major milestone is honestly something I never thought would happen, or even this fast - but the best part i...

Dude seriously, I'm a little intimidated by how quickly the next milestone is coming up already, and it's TUES/THURSDAY UPDATES. 

Monthly wallpapers and then more pages? Wow my workload just jumped quite a bit!
