Aug 2022 Lineup

Harrow!

Thank you everyone for your support and patience! Things are starting to ramp up now that I've just started my part-time job as an events executive for an anime convention. I'm trying to clear my OJST guest artist comic by this weekend so that I may fully divert all my attention to inking the rest of Meatier Showers: Swole Mates. For now, here's what you can expect to see for the month of August:

For those of you who've been here since the start of this project, you'll remember that the original draft went through quite an overhaul! I'm happy to share with you guys how the cleaned up ink version looks like today! Hope you like the results! Enjoy!

OJST Comic Preview

Harrow!

Since January this year, I've been quietly working away with Matthew Nolan, editor of Oh Joy Sex Toy on a guest comic. Matthew first approached me in April 2021 with an invitation to be one of their guests artists, however, the comic had taken many twists and turns since then and we had both decided to pull away in May 2021 since I had been able to nail the brand and tone of OJST.

When Ma...

Thank you for being ever so patient! This page admittedly took longer than usual to figure out the color script! Been looking at the amazing production art and backgrounds for Steven Universe and trying to find inspiration there. Hope you enjoy this month's early access comic! Stay safe and take care!

As mentioned in an earlier post, with things transitioning this month, I've been focusing my efforts towards inking as many pages as possible.

Each page has been taking somewhat longer than anticipated, largely due to the line mileage, and the fact that some of the panels needed further pencil revisions and edits.

Admittedly this page turned out relatively...

Things start getting spicier in the pages ahead so stick around for more muscle growth! Hope you enjoy this month's early access comic! Stay safe and take care!

For the longest time ever, I wasn't entirely sure how I wanted to draw the last page of Swole Mates. I knew that it had to be a pin-up page that featured one last good look of how HUGE Snares had swollen himself into, with background elements for context and a size comparison with Pridestar. The initial sketch looked like this:

For all intents and purposes, I thin...

Here is this month's early access page! I've just returned from my week-long holiday in Australia and had the pleasure of attending FurDU 2022. As of this writing, I am at the final stretch of my day job contract. When June 2022 arrives, I will be transitioning to self-employment (again) and working full-time on Meatier Showers till the next big thing happens. Till then...

Admittedly this is one of my personal favorite pages. Snares & Pridestar are a bit of an odd couple, their relationship being pretty tsundere most days. When things start getting big & spicy though, that connection does show itself.

ICYMI, this is pretty much all built up from Pridestar 2022-05-06 04:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Thank you everyone for being so patient! Hope you enjoy this month's early access comic! I wanted to keep this page simple and not have it bogged down by too much dialogue. Lemme know if it works for you guys! On a side note, I've been busy trying to work ahead and have more inked pages primed with color flats. Hopefully I'll have more to share by the end of the month!<...

As April approaches, I’d like to take a quick moment to provide an update for the Meatier Showers series line-up:

Based on early projections from a year ago, we will continue to see the ongoing release of one fully colored Meatier Showers comic page on a monthly basis ...

You remember how there was a time when coloring books for grown-ups were all the rage? The past several weeks have been rough, and I've found coloring my own inked pages to be oddly therapeutic. It used to be that I was trying to hit a yearly deadline in the past, and I usually recruited coloring help for my comics. With all that's been happening, there's a strange and ...

Thank you for supporting this project through the month of February! There's been a lot going on lately, and I don't really have the mental or emotional capacity to write a newsletter update (which I normally do for the first week of a new month). In place of a production diary, I'll be dropping one of the recently revised draft pages!

Thank you everyone for your patience and support. For those of you who've been following since our last update for page drafts, you'll know that an additional page 10 was added to help with comic's pacing.

Since then, all the subsequent page numbers and flow of events had to be adjusted retroactively which took some time to work out.

I've been hard at work trying to push out pages on schedule! Starting this month, all colored pages will be released 2 weeks earlier for Patreon supporters! I'm starting to get back into the rhythm of things and how best to go about the coloring phase. Hope you guys like how the comic's shaping up and thank you for your continued support!

With the long weekend over the Lunar New Year, I was able to work on page fixes and commence the coloring phase for Meatier Showers: Swole Mates. It's been awhile since I last colored comic pages (with a good portion of it assisted by Donryu) - naturally I was feeling a bit apprehensive, and you can probably see this over the stream video below.
