Lady, I think you might have pushed Kyle one step too far… And y’all are UNSTOPPABLE, leaping over tall buildings here at the Patreon Page! Since the last update, y’all have blasted through still another Milestone Goal (!), raising your support by $540/month (!!!) to $6142/month! That’s less than $900 away from me being able to make comics for y’all full-time! My jaw is on the floor. Y’all are simply incredible. Thank you so, so much! So, thanks to your generous support, I’ll no...

Sneak Peek Sundays # 8

This week I'm sharing Fritz Casas' inks for the Spooky Jones Powers Card art. For the Kickstarter, I'm creating 4 packs of Trading Cards featuring each of the main characters from The Young Protectors Volume One, and the Powers cards show a "powerful image of that character in action." Here we see Spooky Jones (working his other job as an Occult Detective and saver of lost children) defending some monk kids from some very annoyed stone monsters. Fritz is a meticulous artist, and it can take s...

SCRIPT PAGES Milestone Reward!

Y'all are UNSTOPPABLE! In record time, you've blasted through another Milestone Goal! 

Patrons are already getting to see both the Thumbnail Pages and the Penciled Pages along with each update. 

Now I'll start including my script pages too, so you'll get to see the whole process -- from the script pages Adam receives, to the first thumbnail sketches he sends me of the pages, to his final pencils, and then of course Vero's final colors when I post the full update!

How to Access Full Monty and other Special Digital Rewards

I've been getting a few questions about how to find the The Annihilator Full Monty Pin-Up and the Sexy Height Chart for the Guys, so I figured I'd put a little post up here giving a step-by-step. (Oh, and while any NSFW posts on the site will be removed after 60 days, not too worry, you haven't missed anything yet. I haven't removed anything. :) ) STEP ONE: Please make sure you've pledged to get access to Special Digital Rewards. Folks can choose to get access to those rewards when they pledg...

Oh. Wow. You all continue to be super-heroes here at the Patreon Page. Since the last update, y’all have blasted through yet another Milestone Goal (!), raising your support over $280/month to $5588/month! I’m just so blown away by how amazing y’all are! Thank you so, so much! So, thanks to your generous support, I’ll now be including Thumbnail Pages along with the Penciled Pages for Patrons with each update—for an even better behind-the-scenes look at how these pages come together!...

FULL MONTY ANNIHILATOR PATREON REWARD!

Howdy everyone! It's finally ready! Here is the extra Special Digital Reward I promised for the $5000/month Milestone Goal -- The Annihilator Full-Monty Pin-Up Wallpaper! 

Because of the huge volume of high-quality art I need to create for the Kickstarter (over 40 pin-ups!), I'm constantly on the search for very talented artists to work with. You've had a chance to see some of their work in our Wonderful Wednesdays posts. Because my printer has very high standards in terms of specs...

Wonderful Wednesdays # 7

OK. So it's not really Wednesday. But as I mentioned, I'm buried under this day job work. But I still wanted to get y'all your newest Kickstarter Digital Reward! :D 

And for your latest digital reward, I have something a little different! So far I’ve been showing you art for the Powers Cards—but there are actually three other types of card packs Kickstarter backers will be receiving along with their printed books: Romance, First Time, and Origin. 

The art for the Origin Car...

You've done it again: THUMBNAIL UPDATES!

You did it again! You blasted through yet another Milestone Goal, the $5500/month Thumbnail Page one! So now, in addition to sharing the pencils for each new update, I'll also be including Adam's 1st pass "thumbnail sketches" -- the very first bit of art I received based on my script pages. Sometimes the final pencils are very close to what we start out with, sometimes they are quite different. But it's *always* interesting to see how these pages come together. And I'm excited to now be able t...

Spooky!!! All right. Well! Our young magic user might be in a spot of trouble right now on this comic page, but he’s been getting lots of your love over at the Patreon page. Since the last update, y’all have blasted through two Milestone Goals, raising your support over $425/month to $5306/month! Holy cow, you all are so totally awesome! The first Milestone Goal (at $5000/month) was the chance for Patrons to vote for their favorite character for a Patreon-only wallpaper. Currently, Kyle is...

Story 1: How Spooky Got His Cap PDF

Because the Patreon site is adding weird characters to posts, I thought it'd be nice for y'all to be able to download a nice, clean PDF of Patreon Story 1 as well as Patreon Story 2. Here is a link where you can download a PDF of the first story I posted here ("Ghosts", the one that explains where Spooky Jones got his cap): http://downloads.yaoi911.com/AMW_Comics_Patreon_Stor...

Story 2: What does it feel like to kiss Spooky Jones?

All right! Here it is! This is the second prose story Milestone Goal reward. While you don't absolutely need to read the first one, I think it would help. You can find Story # 1 ("Ghosts") here: https://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=1728416 Also, if all went well, there should be a PDF file for you to download that is attached to this post. Because Patreon is currently very broken when it comes to text, that's ...

Your next STORY reward! (with SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS)

Holy cow! You did it again! You blasted through another Milestone Goal! You are all so AWESOME! Thank you so, so much! I'm going to get the "What does it feel like to kiss Spooky?" story up in just a minute, but I want to give you a heads up about something. When it comes to text, the Patreon website is currently very broken. On their site, you can't use any formatting for Creations -- not italics, not nothing. But even worse, when emails are sent out, Patreon removes every single line-break ...

SNEAK PEEK SUNDAYS # 7

So, this time I'm showing you something a bit earlier in the process. These are the first-pass pencils by Gabriel Mayorga for one of the Kickstarter's non-canon Safe-For-Work bonus action prints. This one shows Kyle and The Annihilator committing a crime together! Gabriel and I had worked on three different revisions of "thumbnail sketches", getting all the broad strokes roughly in place before he sent me this first pass of polished pencils. Now, out of the gate, there's a lot of things I liked...

Patreon Wallpaper Reward # 1 with Voting Link

Holy cow, y'all are amazing! I thought it'd take at least a couple days to break $5000, and we're already at $5,119! Thank you all so much! OK. This means you just blasted past the $5000/month Milestone Goal which was "a Patreon-exclusive digital wallpaper, where you'd get a chance to vote for your favorite character, and I'd then commission an artist to make that wallpaper for you all." I've now created the survey link for your votes. It will ask for you to vote for what character you want on...

New Milestone Goals for March

(Sorry for the double-post. Patreon's editing system is terrible, and because I edited a single word, it's now deleted that entire post after the 2nd sentence. :( So in order to have my post here, I have to repost the whole thing...) Since the last comic update a couple days ago, we’ve gone up over $200/month to $4845/month in support. You are simply the best readers in the world! That means that we’re coming up fast on the next Milestone Goal at $5000/month: a Patreon-Exclusive Wallpaperâ...

The Bookmarkable Link to the Most Current Page

Well, it seems like such a small thing when you look at it, but huge amounts of your awesomeness made it happen. It's been most requested feature I've gotten since I started making webcomics four years ago—a bookmarkable link to the most current page of The Young Protectors: webcomics.yaoi911.com/?last_webcomic=webcomic2 One simple URL. But I had to upgrade my entire site to make it happen. Which I knew would be a lot of work (and after a full site collapse on Monday and several additional ...

Wonderful Wednesdays #6

I have some more TYP V1 Kickstarter Trading Card art for y’all to enjoy – this time featuring Commander for her Powers Card! I’m showing off her psychic powers on her Origin Card so I figured for this card, it might be fun to show her action-y, military training side. 

With linework by Gabriel Mayorga (Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter) and colors by Alex Sollazzo (Morning Glories), this shows her air-dropping in to help some campers in a fire. (She, of course, used her telepathy to gu...

Oh, dear. Wow. You all have been amazing with the Patreon! Since the last update, we’ve gone up another $300/month to $4612/month in support! You are simply the best readers in the world! It also meant we blasted past a Milestone Goal — the one at $4500/month that meant I would create a Bookmarkable Link to the Most Current Page, one of the most requested features since I started making webcomics. In order to do that, I knew I’d have to upgrade the whole site, something that has been a ...

February 2015 Patreon supported

Thank you so much for the support this month!

Bookmarkable Link to Most Current Page of TYP

You did it! On Wednesday, you blasted past the $4000/month Milestone Goal which allowed me to start sharing the Full Monty Digital Kickstarter rewards as Special Digital Rewards. And just a few days later, you all leapt over the next one at $4500/month -- this one unlocking the Bookmarkable Link to the Most Current Page of TYP, something readers have wanted since I started webcomics. Y'all are amazing! So! I'm going to get right on adding that link. But it's going to require me getting my hands...

Oh, no. Thanks to your amazing support, it’s been a great week on the Patreon. We’re now at $4,295/month — in just a little over a month, that’s well over 60% of the way to me being able to work on comics for y’all full-time! And only $205 away from the next Milestone Goal, something y’all have been asking for for a long time: a bookmarkable link to the Most Current Page of The Young Protectors! I am so grateful to all of you who have become Patrons so far! You are SUPER-HEROES! S...
