Hi everyone!
The past month had been challenging on a personal level, dealing with anxieties and burnout so much that I had derailed and lost my art muse. While I hesitate to lay out any arbitrary deadlines or targets that I've no clear sense I'll be able to commit to in my current mental state, I did want to share some minor breakthroughs with "Swole Mates":

Hope this update finds you well. I just wanted to take this moment to let you all know that I'll be pausing billing for the month of July. This means that on the 1st July, you will be billed for June updates, subsequently, you will not receive any billing for July on the 1st August. Details can be found here o...

For those of you who haven't, I'll continue to upload the remaining pages of the bonus epilogue here each month until the last page (Oct 2021). Meanwhile, we'...

Hope this post finds you well! Just doing a quick catchup as we move into June. Crazy isn't it? We're almost halfway through another different kind of crazy weird year. 2 weeks ago, I shared with you guys on my plans and thumbnail sketches of the upcoming project, Meatier Showers: Swole Mates. For this past week, I've been working (offline), extrapolating some thumbnails...
Hi everyone!
With my week-long break over (having cleared my commission and put my latest book together), I've been trying to get back into the groove of things and streaming more.
This month's featured stream may be a tad bit long (it's almost 3 hours in length) but covers both my inking and quick coloring process for this image below (that you may or may not have alread...

Hi everyone!
I hope this update finds you well. Between preparing the Meatier Showers 10th Anniversary book for launch in 2 weeks, and clearing my recent batch of commissions, I've been slowly transitioning to my next Patreon project, "Meatier Showers: Swole Mates".

"Swole Mates" is something very close to heart, which is why I wanted to save it for a "perfect time". It's a love letter to cartoons of ol...

Here is this month's comic page update, with toning assistance by Donryu!
As of this post, the 100-page Meatier Showers 10th Anniversary Edition digital comic has been compiled. However, I am still going over some dialogues and text to make sure there aren't any errors, and updating them as and when I spot something. Basically, just going through the editorial phase now.

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to share some stuff I've been working on this week, although this comic seemed a lot funnier in my head than it does after drawing it out. This was meant as a follow up to the "Beach Ball" comic, and in the first panel, Pridestar runs up with a speech bubble spotting a "coconut". Just as I drew the coconut... I realized it was really tricky to make the vis...

Hi everyone!
Comic Collaboration
Recently, I have been approached by an editor (outside the furry fandom) and invited to produce a 4-5 page Meatier Showers comic for their brand. I am currently since in the midst of a back-and-forth discussion on the script and details, but I do hope to nail things down by mid May and start penciling some panels by then. This is a rare learning opportunity as I've never worked with an editor before, let alone someone more experien...

Barely made it just in time before Saturday midnight! This past week has not been fun health-wise for me - if you know what shingles are, and the way they mess with your nerves, I'm under some anti-viral medication and due for a follow up with the doctor on 4 May. In the meanwhile, I've been trying to distract myself from the discomfort with art therapy and just... keeping my mind active. I'll be uploading the production notes for this strip next month!

Was killing time for my next medication and banged out this picture real quick. A slight departure from my usual style, just switching gears cuz like... I've been kinda not well the past few days? Turns out I have herpes zoster, so I'm on a 5-day course of Aciclovir.
I may need more time to rest this week, and I do apologize for any delays with the short format comic. Stay safe everyone and cherish your health!

Just wanted to drop in real quick to thank all of my new patrons and ongoing supporters for helping me through each month! This week's been a little busy as my report writing for a module I'm studying for is due on the 25. As mentioned in an earlier post, I've had to do a quick switcheroo and roll out the long format grayscale comic (which was ready) first.
Harrow!
Here's this month's comic page, with toning assistance by Donryu! Hope you guys are enjoying the pages so far!
Normally the long formats get released end of the month, while the short formats in the middle. However there's been some changes in my scheduling for April so I've swapped them around. You can expect to see the short comic on 25 April!
Stay safe and take care!
Hi everyone!
Under normal circumstances, I'd be uploading the short format comic around this time, however I've opted to push for the Meatier Showers 10th Anniversary cover art to be done this weekend, so at least I'll have another component ready for compilation by end of the month. You can see how that's been shaping up below:

Hi everyone!
Hope this update finds you well. I've had some experience working on 3-4 panel comic strips in the past. The setup, buildup and punchline all have to work in a very compressed timeframe, so choice of words, dialogue and visuals all have to be economic and efficient. Meatier Showers has always been designed for longer formats, where moments can linger, stretch out and generally have more leeway in terms of pacing. The biggest challenges embarking on the sho...
Hi everyone!
Firstly, I just want to take the time to thank you all for supporting my Patreon project through another month! I also want to thank all you new supporters for joining us on this journey, and by "us", I'm also referring to Donryu who's been regularly assisting with production on Meatier Showers.

(Edit: My apologies for reposting this, as I had erroneously set the last scheduled post's early date access by 8 days when it should've been a full month... Patreon's UI is in need of... an update to say the least, but my mistake for not checking!)
Here's this month's comic page, with toning assistance by Donryu! Expect the next newsletter and stream video to drop on 28 March! Thank you for supporting this project!

In celebration of #MacroMarch, I've recompiled an earlier 2018 Patreon project and making it available to all existing supporters and new patrons alike! The original comic was labelled under the Meatier Showers series, but has since been revised to be its own standalone comic for your viewing pleasure.
All original dialogue has also been removed and still seems to "read" a lot better as silent, action comic. It was originally my attempt to explain wh...

As you may know, I am trying out a new shorter format for the series. Being a part of this Patreon project means you guys get to be my beta readers, so do let me know what you think of the comic, and if the punchline lands at all!

Hi everyone!
I hope you guys enjoyed the recent Valentine's Day comic! I hadn't realized how much fun it would be getting into it, but the shorter format has certainly made it easier to get work out there in a faster turnaround - that should've been pretty obvious, but the truth was that I hadn't actually intended to make anything specific for the occasion! During this time, I was still figuring out the groundwork for my next 2021-03-01 16:42:18 +0000 UTC View Post

As some of you may know from my previous post, I am currently working with Donryu to get existing pages toned. I also have another collaboration lined that I can finally start hinting and talking about now, given where we are in the production timeline, and I do need your help too! What do you think will make a good title for the next Meatier Showers season?

For this month's featured stream I wanted to show how I've been ramping up my speed when it comes to inking. Part of the reason for me to take limited (Patreon-only) commissions was to get myself warmed up for the process.
Truth be told, I hadn't been inking for awhile and it's a relatively daunting task when you have a lot of line mileage to cover. I'm not sure if my pages have gotten more detailed over the years, or that I had compacted more panels into a single page, but the initial ...

Wow.
What a cuckoo bananas ride it has been. I've spent the past week thinking of what best to talk about, especially when there's so much nonsense going on in my mind. However, it may be premature to cover certain topics, so for now let's focus on the stuff that's just around the corner!
