FIRST COMIC OF THE YEAR (ROUGH)

slow start to the year. holiday fatigue in the first week, trouble setting up my new computer in the second week, and trying to stay on top of all the patron sketches. well here's the first comic of 2025!! here we can see some of my new years resolutions put to practice, like how i want to play around with composition instead of making each panel look identical, or how i want to draw more costume changes. what kind of clothes might suski wear this year?

FIRST COMIC OF THE YEAR

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 24

fin (until next time)

this one doesn't have a rough draft. i got to reuse the same background from the very first comic in this series. all i had to do was color it with a night palette and draw a tiny TY and suski. we're right back where we started. bookends they call them

thank you everyone for sticking around with this comic. i hope it didn't get too long winded and boring. i realized that this comic had evolved beyond a simple 3 panel gag-a-day strip and became a quasi graphic...

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 23 (ROUGH)

there! that's what you've all been waiting for, huh?

i guess this is a moment that has been 3 years in the making. a tender moment between two characters who have gotten to know each other very well, immediately undercut by a slightly cynical joke about nostalgia. im sure everyone saw this coming from a mile away

also taking a shot at a song that i didnt care much for back then. it was everywhere when i graduated and i still heard it being played in stores in my first month of col...

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 23

feels like being back in 2014

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 22

so i didnt have this whole lesson planned out from the beginning. i only noticed it starting to take shape a couple weeks ago, and here we are now. seemed like a good way to end the arc on a high note. TY is too worried about what everyone thinks about him, while suski is pretty chill and goes along with whatever is happening, from raiding the snack table, to crashing an awards ceremony for the lols. the lesson is that we all need to be more like suski

get ready for the epilogue. there'...

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 22

what this? a lesson in a TY comic? how did that get there?

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 21 (ROUGH)

things are happening and we are nearing the end. i plan to have this all wrapped up by the end of 2024, so that i wont have to feel embarrassed about making a comic that clearly takes place in 2024 in the year 2025. i was hoping to maybe squeeze a few christmas comics into my december schedule, but probably not bc im trying to be realistic. im kinda tired of drawing these football helmets, but its almost over. i dont want to spoil anything but im excited about it. also shout-out to that crowd...

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 21

round of applause

DECEMBER 2024 UPDATE

HARK!! now that i got your attention, its time to remind all of my lovely patrons that it is once again time for the monthly sketches. send me your requests through patreon DMs, or send me a DM on telegram @Neon_Maned_Wolf. i can draw a holiday themed sketch, or i can draw a non-holiday themed sketch. the possibilities are abundant

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 20 (ROUGH)

when i was coloring this i realized that the last panel looks weird when its just the two characters, so i drew some more people sitting at tables in the background. i kept it simple this time and didn't give the background characters a lot of detail. i have the rest of the story written out in a notepad document and im just gonna stick with the plan. it has been fun making up stuff as i was going along, but now i kinda regret not setting up one of the themes earlier on. oh well c'est la vie<...

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 20

is this part of the show?

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 19 (ROUGH)

shit's going down. this one is finished early bc for once the comic wasn't exceedingly difficult to draw. we're getting close to the end. i think there could be 5 or 6 comic strips left to wrap this up. i hope i can get them all done before the end of this year. im planning them out now as i write this. i want to be prepared so i have a better chance of sticking the landing with the conclusion

THANKSGIVING 2024

this is what my thanksgiving is gonna be like

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 18 (ROUGH)

i changed the design of wilson winkler at the last minute. i was thinking about the meme of the white guy wearing a kimono that usually has a caption like "when i eat spaghetti with chopsticks" or something like that. its a little over the top, but its best to commit to the bit. i also had a hard time looking up names and trying to determine the most difficult to pronounce names in japanese in order to make it maximum awkward. its like how legoshi and louis from beastars were intentionally gi...

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 18

time for the giving of the awards

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 17 (ROUGH)

usually with my comics i try to be as clear about things as i possibly can. this time it's probably a bit confusing what is happening, but i'm hoping to use this to my advantage and create some intrigue. this comic strip basically came about from me planning the resolution of this arc, and realizing that it would be a lot of work to draw a bunch of action shots that clearly show what's happening spread out over several strips like i originally planned. then i decided that this would be easier...

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 17

the plan is being set into motion

FALL OUTFIT

i drew this as an alt outfit for colder weather. i ended up liking it so much i colored it

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 16 (ROUGH)

i know where i want to take the story, but i dont know exactly how to get there. this is the most elegant solution i could come up with for moving the story in that direction. in a way, im glad that the comic has been taking me this long, because if i reached this point 4 months ago, i dont know if i would have come up with this joke

this strip was also a good return to form (not spending hours drawing minute details in an attempt to emulate artists much more skilled than me). TY and su...

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 16

suski is the man with the plan

NOV 2024 (tired)

current mood. been feeling tired. but i have a job to do. i need to draw some silly animals and make ppls days better

SUSKI 2024

i had this plan of making a comic story arc about suski running for city council. that won't be happening this year, but i have this little sketch from a few months ago. this is all the proof i need for this concept

NOVEMBER UPDATE

its a new month, which means new sketches for patrons! send me a message with your request and reference through patreon DMs or on telegram @Neon_Maned_Wolf

it looks like i am finally done with my freelance job. i can't wait to get back to sketches and comics

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 15 (ROUGH)

these comics keep getting bigger and more ambitious. this is also a long comic, so it counts for like 3 strips. originally i was going to color the flashback sequence, but i had trouble coloring the blood, so i decided to draw it in black-and-white and use junji ito as a reference. i dont think ito has ever drawn blood bc i could not find any in my extensive 5 minute search for junji ito reference materials. learn something new everyday. i think the black-and-white helps to distinguish the fl...
