Nice save, Al

Wanted to draw a cheeky demon, ended up with Al wearing white in the pool. Someone please nudge Ethan and inform him that Al's commitment to saving the ball is a feature, not a bug

Sketchbook - Hair & Facial Hair Styles

I just wanted to draw some hairs! We can all have a little hair stylin' sometimes, as a treat.

I'm trying to use my paper sketchbook more for things like this, but it was unfortunately faster and easier to just have one base head that I could copy and use multiple times....so the digital sketchbook won again (´-`) what can you do, lol

Malthus about to file a letter of complaint to the education board

This page gave me so much trouble in both planning and the sketching, I must have reworked Ethan's expressions and dialogue a dozen different ways. This might be one of those pages I come back to finesse later on, in a final review pass before I package everything into a PDF/prep for print?

P.S. When I drew the hell hounds for this page I kept thinking of this one Thanksgiving comic scene w...

Hi (゚⊿゚)

I'm back on the SS Comic Page boat and I have a new preview page for you! I'm very glad to be back to drawing full pages! This transition page from the old illusion to the new one was giving me all kinds of trouble, but I think I finally landed on something that works. We're getting real meta with memories inside memories now??

In other news, I have rough layouts drawn out to March from my September planning session! Wh...

It's Page Layout Season!

Heyoooo! So, you may be wondering where the page preview is for this week - I've got the two pages in the works, but I've been feeling very "meh" with the way they were turning out. "Meh" is a terrible place to be for a scene like this! It took me until today to figure out what about them wasn't sitting right, but I've put my finger on it - it's almost all medium shots, with no context to where characters are in relation to each other, and it's making the whole seq...

Malthus can't stand the idea that Ethan would be pleased with this revelation - so he digs a little deeper

Malthus is standing behind him like the Grinch on Christmas morning, eagerly awaiting the sound of an exorcist's breaking heart

I feel the need to remind him that he's zero for two in the Expected Ethan Reaction department

Watching Malthus drop the ball on play-acting Al probably makes him look like an incompetent Collector, haha. He's probably good at his job and all, but when it comes to his brother and this pain in the ass exorcist, he can't get it together ┐(´-`)┌ you're zero for two, tiger

Ethan is ready to throw hands at this trial, and this isn't going at all the way Malthus wanted, so now he's onto plan B. Let's see how that works out for him

Athena does not get paid enough for this and Ethan is starting to find his footing in there. These pages should be finished and posted either tonight or early tomorrow!

Malthus has switched gears and immediately thrown Ethan into a very disorienting and upsetting situation, which is quite the dirty trick to keep him off balance.

I would like to take this opportunity to warn Malthus that if he continues to prod the bull, he's eventually going to get the horns

A sketch comic PDF (see attached!) about wrecking beds - a request I think I've seen a couple times? - because we could use a little goofy sexy humor to wrap up the weekend :)

**Violence/Gore Warning** Page Preview - Pg 523

Violence and a few panels of gore on this page, and since the gallery just displays all images in a set without a click-thru, I put it in a link below so you aren't just casually scrolling the app and get hit with it all of a sudden.

Malthus threatens to assault Ethan with Faux Al at first, but loses interest in following through when he won't play along with his bullshit. Resorting to ripping out guts in a fit of rage feels like a classic demon tactic, but we aren't gonna stay here lon...

Malthus casts off his Al role play to indulge in his favorite illusion tactic: nightmare mode. If the carrot won't work, he's ready to use the stick :(

No rough page for this one - originally I had this and the next page smashed into a single page, but I hated it once I sketched it out! What looked ok in the roughs stage looked rushed and confusing in the sketch stage. It needed a few extra panels of downward spiral to work, so here we are, taking a few extra beats for Ethan's realizati...

This page says a lot about Malthus, to me. He might know of Al's mannerisms and can parrot him to an extent, but beyond that he's got no idea how Al would navigate a situation where Ethan's clearly preoccupied with other concerns. If Ethan was having a gut feeling something was off before, he's gotta be hearing blaring sirens that this is the bad place now!

I decided to make Ethan a little more serious about rejecting Faux Al's advances and I'm tossing out the idea that Ma...

AU Basement Edition #4: The Anniversary Pg 10

Apologies for taking so long to continue this story - I get a little too in my head about these AUs sometimes and it really slows me down, then I redo some art I should have left alone and then I gotta stop to work on the main comic, and rinse repeat every two weeks aagh ( ´△`) I'm trying to be better about this! At any rate, on with the show...

He's gloating, we got a gloater over here! ୧༼ಠ益ಠ༽୨ is that worse than a monologueing villain?

I originally had Malthus saying something simple, to the effect of "Let's play" in the final panel, but that didn't fit once I got to draw him being so completely unhinged with excitement at the prospect of Ethan on a silver platter like this - so I let him go a little berserk like he did with Al when he found out about the reincarnated soul!

I think page 518 is gonna be awesome, friends. You get just a handful of truly heart racing scenes in any given story, and this one qualifies! I'm the one drawing the thing and I'm still chewing my nails over it lol

Now that Patreon has started showing all images in a gallery right up front, I can't put the full cover in the second image to hide it, so I've linked it below. ✧٩(•́⌄•́๑) I'd say this is spoilery?? Maybe?

Grimm wanders too close to the truth about avoiding the thing Grant promised he'd do, and Grant slams the Feelings Vault shut again, haha. I have two things to say about this page:

1) The Intricate Rituals™

2) I hope anyone other than me can feel the size and the weight of the direct, lingering eye contact in that 9th panel
