Vincent & Friends Ep 1 Page 2

Hello $5+ patrons! Here's the second page of my first Vincent comic. I'm just putting up pages as I finish them which means the update schedule will be erratic. Anyway, I hope you like it. :)

There will be a new Willem page up for you on Monday! Thank you SO MUCH for your continued support!

Vincent & Friends Ep 1 Page 1

Good morning $5+ patrons! Here's the first inked and colored Vincent comic page, I hope you like it! I drew this at 600dpi instead of the usual 300dpi to see if I noticed any quality difference, but it looks the same to me, haha.

I'm giving you all the first look at this comic (should be about 12 pages long when finished). I'll put it up publicly when all of the pages are ready. I'm planning to work on it when I have spare time so I'm not sure how long it will take to complete. Depending on ho...

Devil Spy 111

Good morning, everyone! Here's your Devil Spy page for the week, I hope you like it. :) I think Clover and Moonshadow (from Willem) would get along pretty well, eh? Haha.

In other news: I finished the script for the next chapter of Wings Over Hyrule. Just need to do the page layouts and I can start working on it again. As I recently announced, I'm also turning my first Vincent story &nb...

Vincent & Friends Ep 1 Page 1 Pencils

Hello $5+ patrons! I don't have a sketch dump for you all this month (bummer!), between working on comics and getting things done for the DS Book, I didn't have much time for sketching BUT I am currently working on turning my first ever Vincent story  into a comic and I wanted to give you all the first full page glimpse at it! So here's the pencils for the first page. :)&nbs...

Willem 199

Good morning everyone, here's the latest Willem page for you! I hope you like it. 

I've gotten all of the pages for the Devil Spy book put together, I'm just waiting to hear back from my printer before I can start putting the PDF together and all that. :) The front cover image is mostly finished, I just need to tweak a few things and then I'll put it up for you to see. :)

Hope you're all having a grate day so far, thank you so much for your continued support!

Devil Spy 110

Good morning everyone! Here's the latest Devil Spy page for you. Sorry there wasn't one last week, that establishing shot took me forever, haha. I'm mostly back in the swing of things with work. I've gotten some work done on the DS book and I'm mostly caught up on my comics. Hope you enjoy this page. :) I'll have a new page of Willem up for you on Monday.

Thanks so much for your conintued support!

Devil Spy Book Back Cover

This is the (mostly) finished back cover for the Devil Spy book! There will be some text in that empty 'sky' space on the top right. I may play around some more with the colors in the water, but this is about how it will look, I hope you like it! 

I have to get my comic pages done for next week, but I'm hoping to have some more time to work on the front cover soon. :)

Devil Spy Chapter 9 Title Page

Good morning, everyone! Here's the title page for Devil Spy Chapter 9. I hope you were looking forward to more Clover in your life, haha. Anyway, I hope you like it. The title for the chapter is from Buzzcut Season by Lorde. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted it to be, but I think this works.

No new DS page this week, I'm stillcatching up on work after post Kickstarter vacation and tabling at ECCC all weekend. I've got another commission to finish, plus getting the next pages of DS...

Brian Greyscale Markers

Good morning, everyone! I'm back from Seattle (finally)... that was a really long and exhausting convention. I got some new paper at the Copic Marker booth and took it for a test drive while I was tabling. Here's a greyscale Brian and RAGS drawing, hope you like it. I inked a drawing of Amber too, but I decided to wait until I got home to finish it in color markers instead.

There wont be any comic pages this week unfortunately. I was hoping I'd be able to get a page of DS done when I got back,...

Vacation (Alternate Drawing)

This was an alternate drawing I did for vacation, back when I wasn't sure whether or not the Devil Spy Kickstarter was going to get funded. It did end up looking like kind of a bummer which was why I decided to make the beach picture instead, but still... this is a nice drawing so I thought I'd put it up. :)

I'm departing for Emerald City Comic Con tomorrow morning, if you'll be in the Seattle area, come say hi! I'll have copies of Willem and Split Screen as well as issues 1-4 of 2017-02-28 15:53:23 +0000 UTC View Post

February 2017 Sketch Dump

Good morning, $5+ patrons! Here's the February sketch dump! From the top left to right: DS, Wyatt, Ben & Vincent, and Amber from my beach vacation picture... I'm not sure where the sketch of Willem ended up. I wasn't quite sure where to put him when I was working on the finished version so there's a possibility I sketched him on the computer, haha. Also, I ran out of paper space when I was sketching Vincent which is where there's like some disembodied feet floating next to him.

Next is a c...

Willem 198

Good morning everyone! Here's the first page of Willem Chapter 13! 

It's probably kinda hard to sneak up on a speedster's house... you'd never see them coming. Sam and Brian go way back, but they haven't seen each other since he decided to go back to Hero Academy. :) I really like drawing Sam, I look forward to getting to draw her more in this chapter. Hope you like the page.

My Patreon income has been steadily decreasing over the past year, I'm so grateful to those of you who have ...

Seitan Confidence

Good morning everyone! I'm going to try adding some auto bio comics into the rotation now and again. I hope you'll like them even though they are very poorly drawn (sorry Jake and Kyle!).

Anyway, I'm just getting started with page layouts for the next chapter of Devil Spy. Page layouts for the next chapter of Willem are already done, I'll be putting up the first page of the new chapter shortly. Hopefully I will have a Devil Spy chapter 9 title page up for you by tomorrow.

Willem Chapter 13 Title Page

Hey everyone! There will be a new chapter of Willem and Devil Spy starting soon! Here's the title page for chapter 13. Sob Story makes an appearance! I'll have the first page of this chapter up for you on Monday. I'm leaving for Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle on March first and I'll be back in Portland on the fifth. I should have some Devil Spy stuff up for you once I get back. :)

I've been doing some thinking while I've been on vacation about what I'd like to get accomplished by the end of...

Taking a Couple Weeks Off

Hey everyone! As some of you have likely seen, the Devil Spy Book Kickstarter ended this morning and the book was successfully funded, thank you so much! Running a Kickstarter campaign is a very draining (but rewarding) process! So I'm taking a couple of weeks off from comics. I will also be at Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle in two weeks, which is a long and labor intensive convention, but I will be back with some comic pages soon and I'll keep you up to date with how the Devil Spy book progr...

The Book is Funded!

Good morning everyone! The Devil Spy book has met it's funding goal with just 24 hours to spare! I can't wait to make these books and rewards for everyone! There's not a lot of time left to push for stretch goals, but you never know!

If the campaign reaches $3600: All $25+ backers will get the set of both pins! View Post

47 Hours Left and First Stretch Goal Announcement

If you can't pledge at this time, I understand, but please do share the link to the Kickstarter! The more eyes we get on the project, the more likely we are to get funded, thank you!

Devil Spy Bonus Print

Good evening everyone! As announced in the last Devil Spy Book Kickstarter campaign updates, if the campaign reaches goal, I'm offering a bonus large print to be sent out to everyone who's pledged at the $35+ reward level. This includes international backers. Here is the design, hope you like it!

The campaign is currently just shy of the $2000 mark, it's going to be tough to try to get to goal with only a little more than three days to campaign, but I am prepared to continue trying! If we can ...

Devil Spy 109

Good afternoon everyone. Here's an early Devil Spy update for you. I wanted to get this up now for a couple of reasons, one because I'm planning to take a couple weeks off once the Kickstarter  comes to an end, regardless of whether or not it's succesful and two because this is the final page of Chapter 8 and I wanted to get the chapter closed out before I take time o...

There's just ten days left to back the book!

Good morning everyone, this is a bust I drew of DS to use in the 'about the characters' section on the Kickstarter page. I added some text about the campaign to the image so I can share it around today, I hope you like it. I think Jake called this "the most pragmatic drawing of DS I've ever seen" if I remember correctly, haha.

There's just ten days left to get the book funded... I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about it. This is the most stressful Kickstarter campaign I think I've run. ...

Devil Spy Book Cover Hand Colored
