Chapter 4 Page 7 FINAL

UPDATE: posters have finally been fixed and are now 100% less copyright infringe-ey.

Let me first say that Atari sincerely apologizes for the delays; Page 7 took him a while because of the backgrounds, and he feels bad about the sluggish uploading schedule as of late, so he is wanting to take a brief break.

Chapter 4 Page 10 Sketch

And here's the last of the four pages. Again, sorry this took a while. X_X

 If you want more details on when you'll see the inks/colors for these pages, look at the Page 7 description.

And to top it all off, my artist for Tom is A Force of Evil decided to back out of the project, so now I'm left scrambling to find a new artist. :/ Guess I better get right on it as soon as this gets posted. Wish me luck, guys!

Chapter 4 Page 9 Sketch

...And now for Sam to bring them down to Earth.

Chapter 4 Page 8 Sketch

Uhh, Sam, you might wanna break it up soon...

Chapter 4 Page 7 Sketch

Sorry about the delay again, but Atari just gave me 4 sketch pages, all of Chapter 4, and he said that by next Friday, he will give us the colored pages. :)

But yeah, this scene ain't gonna end well.... or will it? : U

Brief announcement.

Somehow, we went from $135 down to $105 overnight, which isn't news I would like to hear. ^^; However, I once again decided to pay the difference to ensure that you will get 4 pages for February. 

In the event we're not back up to $125+ once March rolls around, I won't be able to do that for a couple or so months because the Nintendo Switch is launching on the 3rd of that month... though, that's if I can even find one. X_X

But yeah, hopefully we'll be back to normal soon. :(

Chapter 1 Remake Page 6 FINAL

Alrighty, Simon finally says his first line in the page right this time. XP

Anyway,  as I've said before, as long as Atari gives me these pages on a regular basis, you'll not only get a page every week, but from the looks of it, you will have a buffer as well!

Also, this is how I envisioned Simon saying "free coffee forever", not... whatever was on the original version. XD

So, how have you all been? Progress on Tom Is A Force of Evil has been a bit slow, but the art...

Chapter 1 Remake Page 6 WIP

Been on the fence whether or not I wanted to post this at all, mainly because of a gigantic goofup: Sam shouldn't be saying "I'll pay for lunch", since that's supposed to be Simon, just like in the original. XD

Other than that, the page looks perfectly fine to me. Sorry it's been taking a while, but I have been on Atari about getting inconsistencies fixed lately. X_X

Chapter 4 Page 6 FINAL -updated again-

(added red pillows and red shoes from an earlier page for more consistency. :P )

... And here's C4P6! I'm gonna wait til next Friday to upload one of the pages to the public, so hopefully, we'll get a nice buffer for you guys once again!

Also,  I should point out that it's been storming hard (complete with loud AF thunder) on Inauguration Day. I'll just leave it at that! ;D

Chapter 1 Remake Page 5 FINAL

So sorry for the delay; Atari was apparently gone for a while, and the internet connection was not reliable, wherever he was. Anyway, he gave me the final version of this page and C4P6. Atari personally apologized as well, and he's working on drafts for the remaining pages for the month as we speak.

Sam should totally learn from Simon when it comes to hiding the fact you have a crush. ;)

Chapter 1 Remake Page 5 SKETCH

Feels good to post more than one page every two weeks this month!

There's only a couple changes I'm having Atari make with the page before he finished it up: 

 1. The "ellooo... come back to me Sam" bubble will be moved to the panel where Simon snaps his finger.

2.  The "hmm?" should be moved to the panel below, while the "I see pheromones are getting the better of you" bubble will move to the other side of Simon's head." 

As for any TIAFOE news at the mom...

Chapter 4 Page 6 SKETCH

Oh NOW Lydia and Simon are more interested in Sam's venture. I wonder what they have in mind for it?

Also, for those who haven't kept track of my Twitter (https://twitter.com/Midnightclubx ), I've recieved some concept art for Tom Is A Force of Evil, my hopefully-soon-to-be-announced side-project! I was about to upload it yesterday, but the mystery artist insisted I wait until the first page gets made, and believe me, it...

Chapter 4 Page 5 Final [FIXED]

*fixed an image bleeding problem on the first panel.

Sorry this took quite a while; as I've mentioned in the sketch version, Atari wanted to make the mockup websites in Photoshop, and I needed to give him a reference image of where Endspurt's location is within Seattle. ;)

I should also mention that even though we were $12 short of reaching the $120 goal, I went ahead and paid the difference out of my own pocket so that you'll get 4 pages for (at least) January! Hop...

Chapter 4 Page 5 SKETCH

I hope everyone had a good Christmas; I sure did! I got a new 4K monitor, so I can see these pages in even greater detail now.  ;)

Anyway, Atari is going to be making up the websites and the "not-Google Maps" in Photoshop, so it's gonna take a little while for this page to be finished; he's hoping to finish by January 2nd, and if all goes according to plan (and the total pledges are over $120), we will get started on making 4 pages a month again!

Whoooa, it's almost like we're in Sa...

Chapter 1 Remake Page 4 Final

Sorry for the delay; as I've mentioned earlier, I didn't hear back from Atari since he made the 100K illustration last week, and I couldn't really do anything on that end. ^^; On the bright side, I've been keeping myself busy with the side-project! I just finished writing Chapter 1 of "Tom is a Force of Evil" last night, and I think you guys are gonna love it, especially if you're fans of Star Vs The Forces of Evil!

Nothing like some character development to start off the beginning of your com...

Sorry about the lack of updates so far.

 I haven't heard back from Atari since a week ago, so I just sent him an email asking if the pages have been worked on since then. ^^;

Meanwhile, I've been keeping busy with the script for my side-project! I hope to unveil it properly soon. :D

100K view illustration WATERMARKLESS VERSION

...And as usual, have a slightly more text-free version of the illustration, just for you guys! 

100K view illustration

As it says on the tin, Atari made a special illustration to commemorate my 100K view illustration on DA! I honestly didn't think I would ever reach this many views with 50,000, let alone 100K, so I wanna thank everyone who has put up with all the drama throughout the years, and have supported MB though this roller coaster since I started writing it in 2009!

Technically, I don't consider 2009 to be when I created it because 1. the script went through revisions, and 2. I couldn't find an artist ...

Chapter 1 Remake Page 4 Sketch

Aw yeah, back to more Chapter 1 schenanigans. :P

The way Lydia gets properly introduced is a bit different than the original because of a goofup I mentioned a page or two ago, but like I said back then, I can easily work with it! 

Also, I may or may not be doing a really cool side-comic project! It's gonna be the first non-MB story I've worked on since around 2009, and my first fanfiction-type dealie since 2007-ish? Regardless, I've been working on a script for this comic the past f...

Finally fixed Page 3 for those who missed it! (Also, 100K views!)

Once again, I want to thank everyone for your patience! 

Now to finally get these uploaded to the usual places, and try to be on schedule for December's pages. Also, I would like to mention that my DA page has reached 100K views! I didn't think I was ever gonna reach that ever, let alone 50K. I greatly appreciate all the support you've all given me through the years, and I can only hope we can continue growing from here!

We will hopefully make something special in regar...

Chapter 4 Page 3 Final

Chandelier is finally fixed, so I can now finally get these pages uploaded everywhere!

Huh. I could've sworn I uploaded the original "final" page a good while ago. 8I Oh well, you can see what's new with this version too now.

For those who haven't noticed, I uploaded C4P4 not too long ago, so don't forget to check that out!

Chapter 4 Page 4 Final

As you can see, the time of day has finally been fixed! I'm not gonna upload this to the public juuust yet, since there's a little detail with the updated Page 3 that needs to be ironed out. I'll let you guys know when I get that page updated, since I'm mainly gonna swap out the files here. :P

Anyway, I'm sure you can see where this could go now. ;)

Aye Dios Mio... X_X

So, anyone who has really sharp eyes might have noticed a goof-up. a REALLY GIGANTIC goof-up.

You know how the final page of Chapter 3 showed that it was late dusk/night outside? I realized that Pages 3 and 4 of Chapter 4 show that it's BRIGHT outside. That is really embarrassing for me., and I deeply apologize that I didn't notice sooner.

As someone who is planning on finding a publisher once the remake of chapter 1 is done and we refine all the pages from 2 and 3, this is not acceptabl...

Chapter 4 Page 4 Progress Report

To quote Owen Wilson, "OH WOW, someone completely changed the posting system on Patreon!"... okay, he didn't exactly say that, but I did get the "Oh Wow!" part, right?

Anyway, sorry for the delay. The past few days have been a bit chaotic; aside from the usual prepping for Thanksgiving, everyone went to one of my brother-in-law's mom's funeral earlier today. ^^;

Not much that needs to be changes for this page, save for some minor coloring goofups that are only really noticable in the bot...

Chapter 1 Remake Page 3 FINAL

Finally got the first panel replaced! It's the little things you gotta do to make sure the comic doesn't look too "dated" later in the future. XP

Chapter 1 Remake Page 3 Progress Report

I think from now on, I'll be calling "near-final/99.9% final" pages Progress Reports, since that sounds a tad more professional. XP

Anyway, I only have one gripe with this page, and that's with the first panel: I'm not imagining a college application would look like a simple Word document, so I'm wanting Atari to simply redo the panel and just show another angle of Sam typing away instead. Plus, I don't wanna show Sam's birthyear, mainly because I want the beginning of the chapter to be a bit ...

Quick PSA

I recently got an email from Atari, and he said that C4P4 will be finished by or around monday night! Just wanted to give you all a heads up and didn't want you to think we forgot. ^^; 

LVTFOE Text-Free Version (Patreon EXCLUSIVE!)

As promised, here is the illustration with nothing but the artist watermarks! I think it looks pretty darn spiffy, and plus, it would make great poster material... though I'm not sure if Disney would allow me to make crossover fanart with one of their properties. ^^;

Lydia VS The Forces of Evil FINAL

Here's final version of our Halloween illustration! Be on the lookout for our text-free version, which will be exclusive to you guys!!

But yeah, hope you guys have a fun + safe Halloween!

Lydia VS The Forces of Evil SKETCH

...And here's the illustration I kept hyping up the past few weeks!

Anyone who has checked out the faves on my DA would notice I've been faving various Star VS The Forces of Evil fanart, and you might be thinking, "Is this guy having a severe case of Wander Over Yonder withdrawl?", and to that I say yes... sort of.

I really do love this show; the art style and writing reaches WOY-levels of amazing, and I'm not gonna lie, I would really love to write an episode for that show if given the ...
