(559 as well)

Thank you all for reading the early access pages! I'll be stopping them here because I think it would be nice to finish the comic together as a team on the site instead of splitting it between groups of readers. Until we all catch up, I'll be posting some preliminary PDF pages-- this is some KS material I'm getting together with all my development and some old/ new bg info that ma...

Pinter + Dags

Nothing special, just a Pinter

Also have been noodling on the pin that will go with the V2 book/ match with the Mocheril pin from V1... needs a bit of refining (a friend told me they though his head was upside-down at first) but I like the longe boy so far

PS This page is a weird double-spread with the next one so the borders are semi-off, but complete/ fully-readable.

I might have mentioned this before, but the original premise of MI was "what if a planet could be haunted." Anyways. Here's the ghost.

TM Ch1: original thumbs (full PDF pt 2)

 Oh boy, here we go... the original 44-pgs of thumbnail comics for Chapter 1 of the Meek, circa 2007 (download attachment below). The art and writing is semi-horrendous, but you can see the bones of what eventually became the final Chapter 1. That's pretty much the point of doing this type of comic... by the time I've drawn it I've distilled the essence of everything I really don't want to do, so I c...

old MI cover attempt

Was digging around for an old PSD and found this thing I completely forgot about from 2014 (before the comic launched). Law of Holes was the original title of Chapter 1, but I thought the quote/ concept was too specific and not the vibe I wanted, so I scrapped it. As you can see though, the color triad (blue/ pink/ yellow) was there from the beginning. A lot more minimalistic than the eventual final style but I...

HOO BOY

Time to rewrite Chapter 6 one more time before rewriting it for the final draft! These sketch comics will be posted here 5 days a week (barring me getting trapped in a well or something), which means 45 pages of this chapter SHOULD be up by Dec 6 if I can keep my shit together :D How exciting.

I wonder how satisfying it feels to pull off the eye fungus that's been growing on you since Chapter 2? Probably pretty satisfying.

my son :''[ I kept thinking of someone carrying my asshole cat away and was crying when I drew these lol

But I did enjoy finally allowing Bex to be saved. In the beginning she leaves him because she didn't know what to do or how to help, and because Mike was slipping and unsaveable. Now he is the one doing the saving, and asking her to leave not because he doesn't care about what happens to himself, but because he has finally relearned how to care about what happens to others. BOLD STRA...

bad ideas central, but I suppose you already knew that


BUT DID U KNOW:  I'll be updating with Meek comics starting in October? You can look through the PDF(or Meek) tag to find some of my early chapters of TM, but I want to get back to that and will be posting my chapter roughs here for both your viewing/ amusement and for you to leave crits on. It was a fun time in my life, making sketch pages, and moreover I think it made my comics a bit stronger, so I'd like to experi...
