Chapter 1.01 - Colored

So as you may have seen, I've been working on updating chapter 1 and 2 to be in color. I want to bring Ingress to print, but I don't want the book to suddenly be printed in color half way through. That just seems weird to me. So, I have to update chapter 1 and 2 for print. I won't be posting these on the main site, either.

Another thing that happens with these pages is chapter 1 was drawn on a different size of paper. I changed my paper size starting with chapter 2 (to something more st...

Fool's Gould - PDF Download

Aidan Gould appears as a cleric in Ingress Adventuring Company, but he wasn't always someone who you could trust. This short story covers the incident that pushed Aidan to become a man of the cloth.

During 2020, I created a short story for the Spiderforest anthology Secret Places, which was then funded through Kickstarter. Due to Covid, the books haven't all been delivered out, but I am able to share the PDF of my short story here to patrons.

Chapter 6.01 - PSD files

Now you too can see how I abuse adjustment layers to get the colors I want!

I do most of the coloring in clip studio paint, actually, so there's a 'flats' layer that acts as the reference layer.

Chapter 6 Cover - progress shots

The past few chapters I had been using the beginning locations as the start of the chapter, but considering that there's a lot of different locales that appear in chapter 6, that wasn't going to work nearly as well this time. I decided to do a more evocative cover, so that meant I had to think about it a little more. Here's a thumbnails and color tests I ended up doing before reaching the final result.

There were actually quite a few more thumbnails than this, but they were pretty small...

Chapter 6 - PSD files

Here you can see the layer setup that I have for the chapter 6 cover.

Interesting thing to note: I had two different versions of the text treatment I was testing out. You can see the one I ended up going with and the one that I first tried out.

There are text layers in this one, but there's layers with the text rasterized so you'll still be able to see how it looks.

Payment and Tier Changes - Please Read!

Big news, everyone! 

I’m going to be doing an overhaul to my Patreon page in the coming weeks. This will affect all of you in some way or another, but I’ve been working to try and make this as painless of a transition as possible.

My page will be changing to charging up front on August 1st. 

This will mostly affect new patrons, but if you decide to change your tier once charge up front is in place it will also affect you. Cur...

Dr. Cobalt Rose's Guide to Magical Creatures (select pages)

Should you find yourself in a magical dungeon or confronting mysteries, Dr. Cobalt Rose's Guide to Magical Creatures (3rd edition) is an invaluable resource for any adventurer. 

--

Obviously this is not a real book, but it was fun to make up a few pages from an in-world bestiary. These pages showcase a few of the creatures that have actually appeared in the comic, and... yknow, might be useful to read if you want to know a little more about the world. :^) View Post

Chapter 5 - Bonus Comic

This takes place immediately after the end of the chapter, when Toivo holds true to his promise to get Rosemary some ice cream. :)

And here's the last page for the chapter!

I'll need a few weeks to prep for chapter 6, but in the meantime I'll be sharing some world building pieces of art and documents. Little fun extra content things. 

I don't have a set date for when the comic will start back up again, but I don't expect it to be particularly long from now.

Thanks for reading!

Chapter 5.29

I've been having a lot of busy weeks, so finishing the pages have fallen behind. 

The chapter will be coming to a close shortly, though! I think after this there's just four pages left to the chapter? Don't quote me on that one.
