Lost all of Wednesday to sudden (yet blessedly brief) illness, but I still got the page to you all today! Go me!

A Quick Word About Breasts

This was gonna be my Make A Terrible Comic Day submission, but I let my demons (perfectionism) take hold and now it's not terrible enough. I will make something more in the spirit of the day later this evening.

I'd initially thought of making this a big, all encompassing discussion of my entire breast aug experience like my one year HRT comic, but Spell X Sword takes most of my comic time, and frankly it just sounded tiring to make. Have the bullet points with some cleaned up pencils in...

Do you think she's sensitive about it?

Hot tip: if you're making a comic and you write someone being thrown through a window, you then have to draw the broken glass! All of it!

Not much to say this week other than wishing everyone a Happy Pride Month!

Spell X Sword Page 36 High Res

The replacement pen did fix the tablet! But I am still playing catch up from the time without it.

Spell X Sword Page 35 High Res

My tablet stopped working while making this page!

I've got a new pen on the way, which hopefully solves the issue, but if not I'll likely have to replace the whole thing. Which I can afford to do (thanks to all of you!) but hopefully won't be necessary.

Oop, squeezed in one more page before I leave!

Three pages in a week! That was... a lot. But this should have me covered for updates through my trip next month.

The adventures of Dani and this mystery boy continue! Everyone is having a great time!

Someone said they were curious about Dani's scarred arm? :V

I spent last week outlining the chapter and getting started on the next couple pages, so expect those a bit faster here. And then probably a gap while I travel for PAX East in the second week of May! Updates on the site should be regular after resuming on the second, but pages go up here when they're done and that's gonna be a bit of an odd schedule for a bit!

Spell X Sword Concept Art Dump!

No page this week while I flesh out my outline for chapter two (and some various other work). But I won't leave you, my lovely patrons, with nothing for the week. So you all get to see some my earliest art for what would eventually become Spell X Sword! (Each image has some notes in the captions!)

End of chapter one! Comic updates will be taking a week off while I work on the next chapter, but I'll have some Patron exclusive stuff to share in the meantime.

Thanks for the support and I hope you're looking forward to more!

Look, someone's eating the rich, so it works out.

Seems like most people favored getting pages as soon as they're done (if they had any preference at all) so I'll stick with that!

Mira should maybe invest in sunglasses. (This would not fix this particular problem)

Spell X Sword Page 27 High Res

Oh, well everything's fine, I guess! (Putting this here to mess with anyone who can only see the preview text)

Spell X Sword Page 26 High Res

Oh gosh! Golly gee! That's an uh-oh!

Spell X Sword Page 25 High Res

Hey all, been a busy couple of weeks!

I struggled with the registration, but now I have the confirmation e-mail and can say with confidence that I'll be tabling at FlameCon in New York this August! It's my first time tabling at a con, and I'm excited and nervous!

I'm also giving you all a couple of hours' heads start on the fact that I just put up a new batch of Transphoria Vol. 1 softcovers in my 2025-03-07 18:46:40 +0000 UTC View Post

"It's still an impressive spell though, right?"

Spell X Sword Page 23 High Res

Ah, the overconfidence of the rich.

Spell X Sword Page 22 High Res

I was really on fire this week and got this one done quick!

Spell X Sword Page 21 High Res

The horrors persist, but so does comic.

Spell X Sword Page 20 High Res

Uh oh!

Sword X Spell Page 19 High Res

I had some delays, but this one's still going up on a Friday!

Also, in case you haven't seen: Spell X Sword's website is live! You can share the comic with your friends, and they can be jealous of you being a page ahead.

Spell X Sword Page 18 High Res

Hey! They have names! And so does this comic!

I'll be launching a public website for the comic in the next couple of weeks, and I'm planning to keep the Patreon a week ahead of the public site.

Thanks for your patience as I got the gears turning in the new year.

Update 1/19 - Hey all! You may have noticed I did some house cleaning around the Patreon! In particular, I've renamed and re-tagged all of the Spell X Sword posts, and made all of the page images twice the resolution...

A quick sketchy comic about making gingerbread houses

I’m, ah, not yet used to the obstructed view.

A world where those enamel pins with RPG classes on them could be useful.

I'm gonna try and get another page up before the end of the year, but the holidays are fast approaching, and the last few weeks have been a lot. The U.S. voted transphobic fascists into power, our car was sideswiped in a hit and run on Thanksgiving, and my spouse was suddenly laid off last week.

So, y'know, we'll see.

Spell X Sword Page 16 High Res

I swear I'm going to title this series before the year is out (Update! I did. And now this doesn’t make sense as the post text since I updated the post title to have to comic title. Such is life.).

Spell X Sword Page 15 High Res

I wanted to have this up last week, then take this week off for the US holiday, but well, Events. Aside from the obvious, some other personal stuff cropped up.

So enjoy a comic on the food, arguments, and uncomfortable history of colonialism holiday!

Spell X Sword Page 14 High-Res

Meant to have this up Friday but... well... Events.
