HT! Sketches: Book 1 (107)

The goodies being Page 107~

Thanks for your lovely support everyone! Here's some behind-the-scenes sketches and comments for the latest Horrortale page. 

1. The original draft had Sans' entire face showing.
2. Oddly enough, this was the panel the entire page would be based on. I kept thinking about it as I drew previous pages. But when the moment came, it just didn't fit. Sans seemed too empathetic here, and I preferred leaving their relationship ambiguous.
3. The las...

HT! Sketches: Book 1 (106)

Thank you all lovely Pie patrons :D 

1. The rough vs the final. Papyrus in the draft has the most intense frown I've ever drawn on him.
2. Slightly altered dialogue while Papyrus is warning Aliza about her choice.
3. A bit of unused dialogue while Sans calls out Papyrus, but I preferred the re-write. 

It's not often, but sometimes a page comes along that pretty matches the rough draft I drew, so there are no unused panels here.

HT! Sketches: Book 1 (105)

The extra tidbits to go with HT page 105, which is attached

1. An unused panel of Sans correcting Papyrus. I don't like drawing him with the same head angle twice on a page (makes inconsistencies that much more obvious), so I scrapped that panel and kept the "rule's change" look.  
2. I actually prefer this sequence over the final, but the text blocks made placement too awkward, so I merged it all in one panel instead.
3. Unused dialogue, which I wish I had room to keep.

HT! Sketches: Book 1 (104)

Thank you to all lovely Pie patrons and your support! I've switched up the format of the extra content; I hope you like it :)

1. Different dialogue and camera angles here. Aliza was going to "ask" about the 5th puzzle at first, and the page was going to have a lot more Flowey.
2. Rather than having Sans look menacingly at Aliza, he was going to scare her with a "warning attack" and make her jump like this. But it felt too violent.
3. Lots of different panels that weren't used. <...

HT! Sketches: Book 1 (103)

Page 103 came pretty easily so there's just a few pieces to share with you lovely Pie patrons:

1. I threw this sketch together when drafting Sans getting upset,. The dialogue never fit what the pose was kept.
2. When Sans blocks Papyrus from explaining the situation the shot was much closer to the back of his skull, and there was a panel of Mayor Bear acting clueless.
3. At the end of the page I was gonna use the panel on the left, with Sans staring at Aliza like this. But it loo...

HT! Sketches: Book 1 (102)

Here's the secret sketches for page 102! 

Commentary:

1. The draft gave less focus on Sans and more on Papyrus with Drink Bunny, seeing as the two of them built this charade that Aliza finds herself in. But it felt more important to keep Sans on the frame, so she was scrapped to make room.
2. A couple of panels had the same drawings but very different dialogue. Dialogue is usually changed around based on what the panel can fit.
3.  Sans decides to let this mess g...

Patreon will begin charging in February (And Page 97)

Hello all Patrons! Of course this post is uncharged as it's actually managed to come up AFTER being released to the public, so I'm using it as notice instead.

I'll start putting up charged pages starting in February. For now, I'll be drawing some pages ahead of time to help keep to the schedule as best as I can. 

Thank you so much for your support and your commitment to the comic; there is no doubt that without you, it wouldn't have gotten this far. Rewards will still be rele...

  1. I drew an image of poor DrunkBunny getting her ears pulled off. Very happy not to have gone in that direction.

It's just a little something something I've been working on on the side. I've been practicing exploring an interactive-comic style game developed entirely for webbrowsers. This is the result. Experimental, but fun ^^. Play it here.

Current Status of Patreon

To all my amazing Patrons, thank you for your amazing support all this time. And also, your patience. The last few pages have been late (and thus free), and so it seems the best time to say you will still not be charged for a quite a while. 

As I've reached the end of Chapter 4 (and what I consider, "Book 1"), I'll be taking some time off to draft and recoup for a while. I will let you know when I begin to post (and charge) again, but it will be no earlier than September 1s...

The Horrortale Webcomic secret sketches collection starts here~

This marks the beginning collection of all "behind-the-scenes" panelwork from the Horrortale webcomic. The process began as graphite-on-paper drafts, later used as reference to draw digitally. As you can see, they are entirely rough-and-ready. It's a process I've abandoned a long time ago.

**Payment Switch from Monthly to Per Page**

To all Patrons, your support is amazing. I want to reward you more earnestly by accepting your donations only when I complete a Horrortale page, rather than quietly receiving support every month without providing rewards in return. I know donations don't always expect rewards, but this feels better to me. 

Starting on my next page, which is planned to be released by Jan 17th, the above will be in effect. Until my newest goal of $50 is reached, you can expect 2-3 Horrortale pages pe...

June Update!

Welcome to the lovely month of June, everyone. Here are some projects currently at hand:

1. The "MayDay" music video is on schedule- the anticipated release is June 27th on Newgrounds and Youtube. 

2. Horrortale is up and running again, and will be on Patreon by June 12th. 

3. The "To The Bone" music video is always on the back of my mind, but it didn't receive much attention last time I posted, so I'll re-post it just in case.

Feels weird not to post anything

Hello all- I don't have much to say besides what's above, but for those who've made it this far, all I have to say is "wow" and just kinda stare for a little while (that's just me, it's what I do, please don't take it personally). Even the tinniest amounts of support motivates me like crazy, so here's thanks to you and I'm glad you've come along for the ride :3
