New Story Concept Sketches

These are the designs for the Chucklenut Quartet we get introduced at the start at the yet-unreleased story I announced awhile back, before and after getting steampunk'd.

Maggie and Joe go on a space cruise. Shenanigans ensue.

November 2020 Character Spotlight - Results

The results are in. 

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to veto the first results for three reasons:

• Too many characters
• Too early to reveal anything about the new story or its characters

As such, the runner-up entry - Azgod’Kalar the Calm meeting Snek - will be this month's winner.

Don't be disappointed if you really wanted to see the fantasy party in question, though. Concept...

Nothing like unexpected visits from family to make things awkward.

Preview of new story

For those of you who follow me exclusively on Patreon and not on Discord, you might have missed out me posting rough drafts of a new action/adventure story. Its working title is 'Ursus Ex Machina' and it involves a bear-like druid and his D&D-esque party getting transported away from their fantasy world into a steampunk one where magic is practically nonexistent. You can find drafts of the prologue and the first story arc at the provided link. More to come, of course, but...

On Patreon, and future things

Howdy, folks. Nothing to get riled up about, just letting y'all know where I stand.

As some of you may or may not have heard, lately Patreon has become severely controlling and forcing censorship on a number of artists under threat of suspending their pages. This is especially true for those that draw the sexy things, the anime things, or a combination of thereof. So far they've been good to me, so I'll stick around. However, when they inevitably start going after other forms of media, ...

Maggie as Phoenix Wright, Dopple Boxxy as Miles Edgeworth

October 2020 Character Spotlight - Result

This time around we have "Maggie as Phoenix, Dopple Boxxy as Edgeworth"

Also, in case you're an idiot like me, that's referring to Ace Attorney characters.

Patreon Page mini-revamp

Heya. Quick heads-up on stuff and things.

1. Billing will resume August 1st, so y'all have 2-3 days to decide if you want to actively support me (again), and by how much. As before, any amount is appreciated, but not necessary.

2. I've expanded my Patreon to encompass various works I've written, am writing, or will write, rather than limiting myself to ELLC exclusively.

3. The $25 Tier has been revamped and reset. Meaning those that took advantage of the old reward will also...

Teresa (ELLC Vol. 5) Kindle Version

And here is Volume 5, fresh off the digital presses. Has MOBI and PDF and artwork like before. I'd also like to once again kindly ask you folks not to share this (or any of the others) publicly.

No ETA on the Audiobook version as of yet as Jeff hasn't even started production yet. Likely about two months at the earliest.

Morgana (ELLC Vol. 4) Kindle Version

Because I either neglected to share this even though I had the files prepped and still on my hard drive, or I did share it and deleted it. Either way I can't seem to find the post, so here it is, I guess. Apologies for dropping the ball on this, in case y'all really wanted that artwork.

As before, contained PDF and MOBI versions of the e-book, with all the artwork separately.

New story on RoyalRoad: The Stars Have Eyes

As the folks on Discord would know, I've been toying with this idea for the past week or two. It's premise is basically 'What if C'thulu was a wholesome goth girl?'  It's a different beast from ELLC in almost every way imaginable, but I am trying new things in-between bouts of editing the Kindle volumes. The updates will therefore be extremely sporadic, but I might devote more time and energy into it (including Patreon related things) should it garner sufficient interest.

Charges for May

As some of you may have noticed, my Patreon charged you for May. This is because I'm a moron and didn't realize the pay suspension thing had to be initiated on a month-to-month basis. Sorry about that. I'll try and refund the charges as soon as Patreon is done processing them.
