Look at all that chill!
Actually, those colors ARE pretty chill, so I might tweak them! But I figured I'd show off the cool chill colors to you early birds before I change them. That's the perk of seeing these early, after all. :)
Anyway, you can be assured that this level of chill does not coinc...

That eyeball page was funnnnn (to draw, not to color!!).
Welp, I guess this is how Miranda wakes up! Nicole peeps in every window in town, it's called a HOBBY.

I decided to scooch the next page of Elephant Town over to next week's update, rather than put it up now. Partially because I keep making little changes to it, but also because it meshes in with next week's updates better.
So, don't worry, you didn't miss a page!
I've got a whole pile of stress in the back of my mind that I've been trying to avoid lately. My phone and laptop are both giving me "no really, you have NO space" messages, which I can't avoid, because I n...

Miranda gettin real lost in her teacup again.
It's funny, I thought coloring all those little plants was going to be the timesuck on these pages, but it was mostly doing the first panel - with Miranda's finger "plunk"ing into the teacup - traditionally that was so difficult! I bet there are li...
2021-07-05 22:14:52 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Sunday to you all! Due to the absurd amount of lines I decided to draw (plus a visit to Luke's family over the weekend), it'll be another 24+ hours before you see this week's update.
If you're a high tier patron, you'll see why in a minute. I've made coloring book pages out of three of the panels, so if you're looking for an activity to do, you can color along with me. :) I'll include transparent PNG files in case you like coloring digitally.
(That includes my $3 pa...

An exciting evening with Miranda. ( Wait for it... )
Speaking of waiting for it, DID YOU KNOW that the more locations and lighting situations and items you put on a page, THE LONGER IT TAKES TO COLOR THEM?? I guess that makes sense.
Anyway, I'm glad I didn't stay up last night to...

Normally I stay up putting the finishing touches on my Elephant Town pages Sunday night until 2 in the morning or so, but I'm falling asleep at the tablet... so just a heads-up that this Monday's update will be put up a bit later in the day. Hope you got as much sleep as I'm hoping to get!

Hey gang! I wanted to show you this little comics-making station I set up for the kiddos for Summertime at the Mill on Saturday.
My default is "autobio comics with cats," so I rolled with it since it's fast and easy.

You definitely want to know what's on the menu. That's anticucho (beef hearts) on the grill; papa a la huancaína is the yellowy-colored potato discs next to the hard boiled eggs; and ceviche in a bowl next to it. Special thanks to my friend 2021-05-11 05:06:20 +0000 UTC View Post
How many other people only clean their house when houseguests come over and are cultivating year-old cobweb camps along their ceilings?
On the bright side, my house is clean and I got to celebrate my excellent mom with my family all day. Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!
Because of... well, all of that and a little sangria, I'll be finishing up Monday's Elephant Town update tomorrow. It's only two pages, but holy smokes that second page is gonna be a bruiser! ($5 patro...

Hello there! I am Embryu and I've been so lucky to work for Danielle these past two months.
I’d like to introduce a project that I've been working on for a while now. I am making a webcomic called Pickled Punks, which is actually an older webcomic that I decided to completely reboot. The story follows a young girl named Charlotte, who lives in a strange town where demons and humans live in unity. Despite the town being a peaceful place, strange things keep happening due to the odd nat...

Hey there! My name is Josephine and I've been an intern at Danielle's for 10 weeks. She's given me the opportunity to introduce a webcomic to you all, I've been working on as a part of that internship.
Heads up! This will be X-rated comic! :>
The story is about Phillip (the cattle egret), who recently entered a relationship with Clover. Everything is going well but... Well, the thing is that Clover isn't saying much when they are being intimate in the bedroom. ...

(Actually there's some shading and gradients in these, but in case you don't know what "flats" are, it just means the first pass of colors: flat colors that'll be tweaked and rendered and given some volume later. You can compare the two when the finished pages are up!)<...

Hey, happy Monday! Since I spent the last week catching up on non-Elephant Town projects, I figured I'd share these little DnD watercolors I never got around to showing you. :)
I got Luke all three DnD 5.0 books for Christmas so he could start his own campaign with his childhood friends, but I felt like it needed a personal touch, so I went through the Monster Manual and picked out some funky creatures to paint, with the intent of giving him something to search for while reading.
