November Update:

Unfortunately, there’ll be no monthly poll for this month. I’m gonna be doing a lot of traveling, and I’ve got even more dire medical news. But, in lieu of a YouTube video, we’re bringing back the Patreon exclusive R-Rated videos! Starting off with one about The Punisher. Should be out very soon.

Thank you all for being so understanding at this difficult time in my life. Have a great day, and cherish your loved ones.

August’s YouTube is being recorded as we speak

Sorry for the delay, personal stuff got in the way as it so often does with all of us

August Video Poll

Tried to really load this month with videos I know I'll have a lot to say on. Hopefully they don't bomb like the last two haha.

Halfway through!

I’m officially halfway done editing the Oregon In Comics video, and fully done scripting the upcoming surprise video.

As I try and fine tune my editing style and try to get bolder with my jokes and timing, I’ll also try and improve on the rate of uploaded videos. Thank you.

Finally, another video poll!

It's time again, finally, to vote on the next YouTube video for the month of June! Apologies for the long wait, but I was still dealing with the issues discussed in the last post. Thank you for your patience!

A Long Awaited Update:

First off, a massive apology to all of you, for hearing nothing from me for so long. To make a very long story short, I've been working on several large projects including an upcoming YouTube video, as well as the next step in getting Destitute released.

However, a family member of mine, whom I was very close to, was hospitalized near the end of March. And on Saturday, April 19th, he passed away. This has caused several things to happen.

1. The area I usually record in, is now po...

Destitute, Now In Color!

As you can see, the earliest pages are now undergoing the colorization process. I’ve really been loving what Azoinab is doing here with the color pallet, like I can almost smell these panels if that makes sense.

More steady work on Destitute!

As promised, Destitute is coming along tremendously. The script and artwork perfectly meshed for this exaggerated and bleak depiction of Portland

Update on newest video:

Regarding my upcoming video on The Doom Patrol, a massive swath of footage was entirely corrupted (primarily the section discussing the New 52 and Gerard Way eras of the team, as well as television adaptation by DC and later HBO Max). This cut down the runtime of the video significantly, and re-recording the footage would take a lot of extra time. Rather than have you wait even longer for a new upload, I’ll simply be reformatting the footage to work for TikTok, and I’ll upload it there. T...

Page 5 sketches (and a big update)

As Destitute continues to be worked on, I’ve got terrific news. The book’s production cycle will be speeding up significantly, very soon. So you’ll start seeing fully rendered and complete pages. However I won’t be showing off some pages with a lot of dialogue, for spoiler reasons.

Vote for the next video!

Massive apologies for the first poll video being so heavily delayed. A lotta stuff has come up in my life (primarily taking on a second job that has ridiculous hours. Gotta publish Destitute somehow right?) You'll see the results of this next poll much much sooner, this is a promise.

"The Deviant" By James Tynion IV

Reuploaded after a minor issue, this is the first in a series of TikTok-styled videos, that focuses on comic books that TikTok would normally flag.

Thank you, and have a Merry Christmas!

Another page inked!

Finally we’re seeing these two characters interact. Probably my favorite dynamic that I wrote into this comic.

Darker videos on this site?

With my current frustration with TikTok's TOS, as well as its potential upcoming ban in the US, how would you all feel about me uploading videos in my regular TikTok style here? They would cover comics (such as U.S or The Deviant) and subject matter that would otherwise be flagged or demonetized on TikTok. Nothing extremely graphic or distressing, simply books that the great algorithm in the sky would frown upon, more adult themes and subject matter, horror comics etc.

Page 3 inks

Absolutely love how Azoinab interpreted the scripting here. The blurring between panels was entirely his idea and it came out flawlessly.

Update on health:

Apologies for a lack of any new YouTube or TikTok videos recently. What was supposed to be a heavy voiceover week for me before the holiday season, was halted by a pretty awful stomach flu that left me bedridden and voiceless.

But rest assured, I was still working on writing several new videos, including the one you all voted for. I thank you for your patience and understanding.

Page 2 inked!

(And also Azoinab’s original sketches to help block out the first 2 pages)

Currently on vacation.

Still editing the Halloween YouTube special, but after that video, the first poll will be held for the next video topic.

Process of a Destitute page

About two months back, Azoinab shared these stages of creating the first page in Destitute. His artistic knowledge has really helped in this process, he’s got a much stronger sense of posing than I do

The Patreon is now up!

Welcome folks! And here’s to a hopefully successful future, many new videos, and issue 1 of Destitute on the horizon.
