Thank you everyone, for supporting Meatier Showers over the past few months since it's last hiatus. There's no shortage of content online these days, and I cannot express enough how grateful and humbled I am by everyone who has chosen to support my comic project. Meatier Showers has always been a pla...

Thank you for your patience, here is the inked version of page 6. Snares sends out a food delivery order. Just as the order goes out, there's immediate knocking on the door. Puzzled, he checks to see who it is... only to realize that Pridestar has showed up personally at his doorstep. Snares slams the door shut. Pridestar expresses his anxieties about being ghosted and why he's here in person. There is silence, b...

While I try my best to maintain a consistent quality of work in my comic pages, there are times when I go off-model with my character faces., like in panel 3 here with Pridestar. It can be a double-edged sword when your work draws from mood and emotions. Which is why it's important to return with a clear editorial eye after the initial draft is done to spot for errors and make revisions where necessary.

Where is My Mind?
It's crazy to think that just a year ago, I had frozen my Patreon account thinking that my previous job required more commitment, only to be retrenched and find myself in a precarious situation. Here in Singapore where I live, our 2024-08-04 16:00:14 +0000 UTC View Post
Earlier this month we looked at how page 5 had presented a lot of line milage to cover. Originally, I had hoped to show what the Dine-in Diner interior looked for more atmosphere. However, it quickly became a daunting task, only for me to realize that most of the speech balloons that would eventually populate the panels would cover up most of the background details.

When I mentioned that some of the Meatier Showers 2024 pages were becoming increasingly detailed and difficult to ink, here's another example of what I mean:
This isn't meant to be a hard flex on how "detailed" I am, in the first draft above, this page already involves 9 panels which is by my personal...

Getting Back on Track
With all the recent developments that's transpired, I've been trying to adjust and adapt my production workflow. I think one of the challenges of working on a comedy title is that a lot of the joy that goes into the comic, has to come from a genuine place within. When you're struggling with basic needs such as 2024-07-05 04:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post
As mentioned earlier, this page was challenging to ink given the increased amount of line mileage. I've been minimal with my backgrounds, given that most of it will be covered by the speech balloons. Ideally, the larger panels would be populated with more texture and environmental personality. I hope you guys enjoy this...

Hey everyone!
Hope this post finds you all well. In light of various personal developments, I've decided to merge both my previous monthly line-up posts with my development diary into one singular update on the 5th of each month. It's been difficult to maintain a positive-vibes-only marketing PR tone, especially for a self-run business and project all the time. For long-time supporters, you'll know that I was 2024-06-04 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post

Thanks for hanging around! The inked version of page 3 is now ready! This certainly took longer than the previous pages to ink due to all the line mileage and how much is going on in just a few panels! Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments! Stay swole & take care!

Just dropping in for a quick update. As mentioned in an earlier development diary, I've been busy trying to rework things between pages 10 - 12. Since then, Meatier Showers 2024 has been expanded to 16 confirmed pages. Of the new 6 - 7 pages, these drafts are in varying degrees of completion. I am also looking at adding 2 Patreon exclusive pages to adjust the final count ...

A warm welcome to all our new patrons joining us last month and thank you to everyone for your support and patience. It has been a rough month. As much as I'd like to share my experiences at FurDU 2024, I've been hit hard by inescapable reality. Those closest in my circle are aware of my current circumstances, most of which I hesitate to share too much about online, seeing how the internet usually is. As one of my friends had pointed out, I have to dig m...

Thank you for sticking around! This month I'm happy to share the next page of Meatier Showers: Stargazer. You'll notice in the above page, there's a lot of overlap occuring with panels 3 to 5. Also, I felt introducing sausage nips may have been premature at this point of the story. Below, you'll find the compositional changes I've made to free up more room between ...

These past 2 weeks have been a weird mix of feeling stuck, problem solving and just going through with my instincts. While the setup and foundation for Meatier Showers 2024 feels pretty solid, pages 10 - 12 out of 24 - where the midpoint basically is - was troubling me a fair bit. It was...

March turned out to be a disruptive and challenging month with Gumroad's very sudden policy change overnight. I've since taken all the necessary measures to respond to that development, on top of various other distractions. With all that nonsense out of the way, let's talk about what's installed for April!

Thank you so much for joining us on this brand new adventure! You can expect a new draft comic page on the 15 of each month for the next 12 months at least! As shared in an earlier pitch, the first 6 pages of Stargazer mainly serves as the introduction arc of the story.

Alright everyone... This is it. Starting March, production for Meatier Showers 2024 will commence in earnest. The official title will be Meatier Showers: STARGAZER, based off polling results from all the way back in 2021. You might be wondering, WHY "Stargazer"? It would be difficult for me to answer the question without major spoilers, so let's just say it references somet...

Thank you everyone for your feedback for the first part of the new project pitch. I'm so happy that you all are just as excited as I am sharing what's installed for the year ahead.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I'll be embarking on a new comic project, Meatier Showers 2024 (working title). The full length is expected to be 32 - 36 pages and I will be progressively working towards a grayscale comic all the way to full color through the year.
The first 6 pages will be important in establishing several things, primarily the inciting incident and what readers can expect from this new project.
