Speed draw for the last early page page I posted! From now on, new pages will be posted here along with their speeddraw video. Let me know if you're feeling this new schedule!

So I've decided to make these full-page speeddraws an exclusive bonus for $5+ Patrons. As of right now I have one more video almost ready to go of a previous page that I'll post here soon, but in the future I'll be releasing the video and the new page together in one post.
Enjoy!

So I have footage for speeddraw videos of both this page and the previous page. I'm thinking of making the speeddraws into patron-exclusives, or at least the full-page ones. Maybe my Patreon updates will include both the page and the speeddraw going forward. That'd make pretty good sense, right? Let me know what you think about the idea.
2017-07-08 08:29:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, so I wanted to explain something. Last month I made a change to my patreon system so that new patrons would be charged immediately for the current month when they pledge, to prevent people from pledging, looking at patrons-only content, and then unpledging before being charged. However, I did not realize at the time that this would also change the timing of monthly charges to patrons from the end of the month to the beginning of the month. So because the change was made in April, t...

Another early patrons-only page. These might stay exclusive to patreon right up until the comic is finished. Maybe! We'll see.

Just released Nuzlocke Conquest episode 18, which should be the last episode before the finale. While it wasn't as technically demanding as episode 17, I did spend a lot of time debating with myself about the direction I wanted to take it. I haven't fully decided on what I want to do for the finale either, though I do have a few ideas, some of which have been kicking around in the ol' noodle since even before episode 1. No matter what happens, I really want the series to finish strong, so I can ...

I don't usually talk about the nuzlocke videos here, since this patreon is ostensibly for the comics. That being said, the nuzlockes are a thing I do, and as the end of Nuzlocke Conquest is fast approaching I've been putting in some extra work to make sure it finishes strong. I'm real happy with how Episode 17 is looking so I thought I'd give patrons an early look. Get fucking hype, nerdos.

I'm drawing again, kind of getting back into the swing of it but I hope to have the next page ready in less time than this one took.
Carry on, dudes.

Hey dudes. It's been a slow month for me, at least as far as comics are concerned, so I thought I should say something about that. Basically I've been having to take care of a bunch of stuff I'd been ignoring for a while, like reapplying for a deferment on my student loan payments, trying to get health insurance in Virginia (I couldn't), building my PC and dealing with all the problems arising from that. Also of course I've been doing the Nuzlocke videos on the side, as well as doing a bun...
2017-02-27 05:35:11 +0000 UTC View PostI figure I might as well post these pages as I finish them here, before publishing them in a batch on my website. Feel free to give feedback if you'd care to!

2017-01-27 18:06:42 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, I meant to do this a long time ago but I remembered the other day that I never uploaded the pre-inked versions of all the Vapors pages for $5+ Patrons. A lot of them are really horrible and embarassing. Some of them are a bit different from the final pages, or drawn in different order than they were finally arranged. Anyway here they are in case you ever wondered.

Hi everyone, been a while since I updated here, so this may run long. Those of you who follow me on Twitter and/or keep up with the happenings among the other members of the Pro Crastinators Podcast will know that we're just now nearing the end of RadCon, which is basically the 6 of us just hanging around at Digibro's house (which I've recently moved into permanently, but that's another story). I've sat in on a bunch of podcasts and letsplays, so I'll be popping up in videos on the other guys' Y...

Hi everyone, since I've been getting pretty into Pokemon GO lately, I took a break from drawing The Champion yesterday to do this piece featuring my 3 best mons. Total time spent drawing, about 5 hours. Total time spent fucking around in Vegas to make the video, eternity.

Hi everybody, I've got something a bit unexpected to share. It's a little Vapors one page mini-story written by me and drawn by the extremely talented Phenylketonurics. I mentioned a few months back that the two of us were planning a little comic exchange - I had thought it was cancelled but it turns out she did it after all. I'm planning to fulfill my side of the exchange before publishing this anywhere else, but I thought you all might like to see it.

The work continues. I've been making steady progress towards getting Champion ready for release; on average it's been taking me around 1 day to get a page sketched and 1 more day to finish a pre-sketched page, or in other words, 2 days of work = 1 complete page. I'd like to improve my speed so I can be working at the rate of 1 page per day... I'm not quite at that level yet, but I'm getting there.
Anyway, at my current rate, I'm still expecting Champion to be ready to go by the end of Augu...

Yup... I've decided to start recording myself as I draw and making some little vlogs that way as I work on finishing The Champion. While I'm at it I'll also be editing the recordings into speeddraws showing my whole process for a given image. I'm planning to do them every 1-2 weeks or so.

Just finished a page of The Champion and I was pretty pleased with how this panel turned out so I thought I'd share it. I might share a few more previews like this in the next few weeks before I publish the full comic - nothing too spoilery though, I promise.

Hi everyone. I feel like I'm overdue for an update. So, here one is.
Up above you can see thumbnails of all the pages of Champion that I drew in May (I've done 8 or 9 more since June started). So, when will the comic actually be out and available to read? Well, unfortunately I'm not sure yet. As I mentioned last month, I'm applying to become a member of the Hiveworks comics collective. I'm submitting both The Vapors and Champion for consideration. The thing is, Hiveworks is very insistent ...
