The Emotional Core of StoryTelling

Probably one of the hardest things (at least for me) when working on a new comic project is finding the emotional core or heart of the story. There's a reason why I don't do straight-out get-down-to-business sex stories, not because it's beneath me or anything arrogant like that, but rather on a personal level, and being an all-round weirdo myself, doesn't really satisfy me. Admittedly even when it comes to sexual encounters, things just don't work out for me if I'm not connected to th...

May 2016 Newsletter

Thank you once again for another month of support.  Not only have we been able to set aside a budget for all new hires, but with the funds pledged, I've also been able to continue my dance classes - which have proved invaluable for maintaining my health (especially being self-employed and trapped in a room all-week)!

Pre-production Begins

Hi everyone, thank you once again for your support and generosity in seeing the first Meatier Showers Patreon project through. 

Planning Phase

The above image covers very rough plans for Meatier Showers 7-9. The mid-section illustrates the page breakdown of issue 7, "After Dark", in a similar style and fashion that was employed for issue 6.

The rectangles represent pages, with its corresponding page number on each, while the groupings and separations represe...

First Year Anniversary!

Harrow!

Thank you everyone for your ongoing support! With your kind generosity, Meatier Showers 6: Bulge Indulge was successfully completed within 9 months since its project commencement in April 2015. Shortly 2 months after, the physical release has also been sent to Furplanet for publication and projected for an Anthrocon 2016 launch in Pittsburgh! All this would not have been possible without you fans and supporters! For that,&nbs...

Meatier Showers 6 Cover B Variant

Hey guys, here's a sneak peek at how the cover art will look like for the physical copy. I'm now in the process of finalizing the artwork, and doing a few minor additions for the physical version. Hang around next month for the second episodic release of Meatier Showers 6 and read it in full color. Thanks again for making all this possible. <3

Minor Updates

Hi guys, just wanted to keep you all in the loop of things. We're currently entering a phase of transition so there's a bit of logistical upheaval going on here and there (might wanna put on that hard hat.) If you look at the project front page, you'll notice that the Meatier Showers cast has been added, as well as a project preview of what's to come - Meatier Showers: After Dark.

We'll also been introducing our new hire hopefully by April, who'll be on board the Meatier Showers side proje...

March Preview

Hi everyone, I'm currently in Malaysia now (for 3 weeks) visiting my fur family and doing mostly social things. I haven't exactly fled the country with all my savings and I just want to take this opportunity to give everyone a preview of what's planned ahead now that Meatier Showers 6 is completed.

Starting March 2016, the $5 and $15 reward tiers will no longer be available with the completion of Meatier Showers 6. I will be scaling down project production size on my Patreon to smal...

Release Information

Hi everyone! 

As we near our product launch, I wish to share with everyone what to expect towards the end of this month.

First of all, due to the nature of Patreon's end-of-month billing system and user interface limitations, I deeply regret to inform supporters, in particular, those who have recently switched their pledges to higher tiers after 5 Feb 2016 will only receive rewards based on their previous tier subscription.&n...

Final Phase

It's been a harrowing month to say the least! We're now entering the final phases of production, with less than 10 days to get everything in order from writing dialogues to coloring and exclusive Patreon cover art. Please enjoy this preview page while we work hard to complete the product!

Feb 2016 Updates

Harrow!

By now, all paid and processed accounts should have received a link to a downloadable file showcasing the color process involved for Meatier Showers 6. As of this writing, while there are still some minor amendments to be made, I'm happy to announce that 50% of all Meatier Showers 6 pages have been fully colored. Of the other 16 pages, 10 of which have already been flatted out and toned by Donryu, which I'll be going over this coming week to add in backgrounds, make colo...

Color Corrections

Hey everyone, thanks for supporting me through the year of 2015. It's helped keep me going on top of what I saved up from commissions earlier. I'm pretty much running low on reserves at this point, so it's imperative for me to get this project out ASAP! Here's a sneak peak at the page progress in color!

For just $1 each month, you can gain access to all archived content, as well as future comic page updates!  Check out the list of rewards for the higher tiers and consider keepi...

COLOR PHASE GO~!

Hey everyone, just dropping in real quick to let you guys know that we're currently in our COLOR & LIGHTING PHASE. This means we're working hard to make all those black and white inked pages you saw look OH-SO-PRETTY. If you can't wait to see what's been going on, do follow me on Twitter (@snareslion), and you'll get notifications of when I'm doing my comic page live streams! TECHNOLOGY!

Back Home

Hi everyone, just wanted to let you guys know that I recently returned from my 10-day vacation in Japan. Had a really good time at JMoF (Japan Meeting of Furries) and am spending this weekend mostly to unpack, reorganize and decompress from my experiences. Starting next week, I will be gradually shifting back into production mode, starting with page colors and trying out new methods and styles. I should hopefully be ready to show some samples by 31 Jan.

I also wish to share some upc...

December Updates

Hey everyone, if you account has been processed for last month's pledges, you should have received a direct download link in your message inbox. Clicking on it will allow you to receive the first half of inked comic pages. The following update will be available end of January, so if you'd like a quick preview of the other pages, it's only $1 for now and if you like what you see, do spread the word! Every bit helps fend of those merciless phone bills and whatnot.

Pridestar x Snares

For this month's Insider Access, here's an early preview of how the Patreon-only, digital cover variant will look like. Those of you who've pledged $5 and above will be receiving the digital copy of Meatier Showers featuring this exclusive cover art. As this is still a work-in-progress, some details are still missing. With my previous titles, I would normally do the cover art last, however, this time with issue 6, I hope to try out some new techniques and experiment with the results. If t...

The Road Ahead

Hey everyone, thank you again for your support the previous month. You should be able to pledge sums through Paypal right now. Just a heads up, the next comic release will be on the 26 Dec, Boxing Day! And will consist of the first half of inked pages for Meatier Showers 6.

Don's been working on the color flats for the first half so far. As for myself, I'll be taking the month off to recharge. The inking phase took quite a bit out of me and I need to remove myself from the project awhile....

November Updates

Hey everyone!

Thanks again for another month of support and kindness. A downloadable link has been forwarded to all processed accounts, so if you're viewing this through YiffParty or an "@trbvm.com" account, you'll most likely only be seeing these little update posts.

Come December, I will be phasing out the pencil draft phase of the comic page preview and begin rolling out the inke...

Next Update

Hey guys, just wanted to give everyone a quick update and heads up. As of this writing, 50% of the comic pages have been fully inked. I've also delegated the inked pages to Donryu who will assist me in coloring and toning them, so that I don't have to worry too much about the first half. Next week, I will resume production with page inking and try my best to push through the remaining 50%. My goal is to have everything inked by the end of November, hopefully with some space to breath in b...

Remember the first Insider Access showcase of what the original comic was like? I've since expanded on several of the past ideas. This is the latest page 15 that was inked yesterday. I could've just jumped into a muscle growth comic years ago if I really wanted to, but I wanted folks to remember these guys and relate with them one way or the other. So yeah, it's taken awhile to get here, but I hope you guys enjoy the progress so far!
