the cover is here to prevent patreon from fullsizing the page and stretching out the tab, right click and open in new window to see it full!

very "duh" moment for me, I started drawing these on the ipad instead of desktop to make it easier on my arm, and surprise I can finish them faster with less pain!

even though I have this and two game demos in the works, I want to start a short animated thing for starshifter... maybe I'll just storyboard and hire people again...

new hoodie and plush

quick concepts hanging around in my folders! hoping to have them by early next year. I think the little gray plush will be called "mischiefs"!
I'll be gone in japan again from late february to early may, but I should be able to still fulfill some orders with help and print on demand, we'll see as it gets closer. I'm considering moving there for a year or two and having azu stay and run the store...
I also expect to have the high collar coyotic jackets back in stock, and the string ligh...

plush wips

for some reason july was really motivating and I started a lot of plush wips! the first one is for slaughterhouse , second is a detachable coyote and berrendo, and the third will be a horse designed with the buddhist flag colors!

I'm also planning a new string light design and a new sweater, but those will come later! before these I'll have the anthro coyotic plush and some coyote cactus keych...

some game progress

a really rough wip from m7rk, who programmed starshifter and will be making the next two game demos! of course we still have a lot left to do here but I hope it'll be successful!

sleepwalk p4

I'll probably have to upload the smaller image with each update to keep the thumbnails small until patreon fixes it (if ever), so just right click and open in a new tab to see it fullsize!

game demo wips

I've been working on a game demo with m7rk (who programmed starshifter) and this is some of the art I've made so far! the idea is a 2.5d dungeon roguelike, with a story in the emaho world. along with this I want to do a soulsborne combat style demo with rahu and ketu, and then put out both demos and see which one would do better for crowdfunding. I'll post more as they progress!

I haven't forgotten about the rogues comic either! just that honestly it's not as fun as animating so it'...

november and december 2024 prints and stickers

november is our new coyotic and trouble mascots, and december is about multiverses! I'll be shipping them together again because november's were late to arrive to me through the holidays. thanks so much for supporting me for another year!! <3

new jackets and plush wip

some wips of things! last month and this month has been trying to get the samples of these right, since there are still a lot of errors. hopefully I can have some good samples to share soon.

sorry for things being slow otherwise. I've been really discouraged by arm pain, so I'm back in physical therapy and trying to work on rebuilding my shoulder and neck strength, and my posture. hopefully when they check in with me next month I'll have made enough progress to draw for longer periods, ...

august, september and october 2024 prints and stickers

I really slacked on posting these, here were the prints and stickers for the last 3 months! with BLFC I was late to ordering september's, so I'll be shipping september and october together within the next two weeks.

sleepwalk p2

page 2! getting the hang of simple coloring and feeling like I'm in a good place to work again. I reuploaded the first panel to force patreon to thumbnail it since it was long, lol.

"fill the void" wip / general update

an idea I had for a new sweatshirt/hoodie for a few months that I finally got around to conceptualizing!

it's a rough draft, but I'm going to look at sample swatches soon to get a physical sample made. the void pocket will be transparent so you can put whatever small thing you want over it. the funnel will probably have to be thicker so you can take them back out for washing. I'm really excited for it!

on a kind of related note, I finally started an antidepressant l...

if you're missing a print and sticker reward:

hey everyone, just a quick update that I had a handful of prints returned to me because the labels fell off in transit (I got some old labels so they wouldn't end up in the trash and they lost their stickiness); if you don't receive your september postcard within another week or so, please message me and I'll resend them!

there's also a few people with addresses that couldn't be delivered to, so if you haven't been receiving prints for previous months, you can message me about that too....

sleepwalk p1

it's the first page of the new comic, after some time experimenting with colors! a comic really needs to update about once a week to have a chance at being successful so I want to make a large backlog before posting this publicly. I have about 8 of these long pages sketched but I think they're too illegible to post here because of how minimal my sketches are lol so I might try inking a bunch at once and then sharing them here over time.
drawing is still pretty painful and I wouldn't be sur...

small wip

something I wanted to make for a while was a small coyote within a lotus, I was playing with the idea of it being pvc but decided to go with plush. I wasn't going to do it because I don't think it'll sell but I finally thought, why not? and the sample is in production!

progress??

I've been sketching the pages to the new prequel comic but I was struggling to figure out how to finish them - I settled on a minimal palette with gradients so that it would be efficient but have enough color for contrast. I'm not entirely sure if I'll keep these colors/probably will add some kind of green but I think it's a start? I also decided on the name "Sleep Walk" and we'll see if it sticks!

july print and sticker

july's art! I was late to ordering june's print and sticker because of anthrocon, so I ordered june and july together and they'll be shipped together to patrons too.

June 2024 print and sticker

june's print and sticker!
I realized I forgot to post previous months here because I was posting them on telegram: https://t.me/theroguezcomms

I'm sorry for the repeated silence about them, I'm trying to get back together again. your continued support is always appreciated and valued.

may updates

so I've been planning to make this rogues prequel for a little bit now, but after some reading up on it I thought I would try it as a webtoon instead of a traditional comic, maybe make it easier to create an audience and community for it. I started sketching some pages in the original format and have been busy trying to adjust it to the webtoon format, which is why these panels are too small and there's blank spaces, but it's progress. ideally I'd like to update it once a week with 2-3 of the...
