Moonlit Brew: Ataribetch warm-ups

Ataribetch wanted to warm up a bit before working on the next page, so he made some drawings of the trio for me to share with you guys! : D

ACES: Summertime SKETCH

Figured we'd make something summer-themed while it's still hot, outside (and also because I mentioned we were going to make this back in July, but we simply forgot until recently).

Anyways, I figured Alfred would be the one who'd make the more impressive-looking sandcastles, though Frankie's is honestly adorable. :P

Sorry about this one taking a while; Eli has been on a beach vacation, but they have brought their desktop with them, so pages will still be made, but it might be a bit slower than normal for a bit.

There's going to be a couple changes to the page, but I'll save what's going on for when they're made. ;P

ACES: Chapter 2 Page 28 FINAL

When I was writing this page, Ghostbusters: Afterlife wasn't announced yet, but considering that movie not only hasn't come out yet, but is also considered a continuation of the original 2 movies, this joke still stands and remains relevant. ;P

Hope those boys don't give birth to a bouncing baby hernia. >>

Maybe they'll find a cavern that leads to One-Eyed Willy's ship, eh? : P

All things considered, Frankie, you might be right about there being g-g-g-ghosts. >>

ACES: Chapter 2 Page 27 WIP

Took a while to make this post, due to having dinner in the desert with some relatives (115 degrees is not nice, even when I was only outside for a minute. XD ), but there's a reason why Val's hair has polar opposite reactions to things. ;P

The snakes won't wear the scarf nor the sunglasses in the final version, mainly because it would seem a bit far-fetched (though if there's a special occasion, maybe in the future! ;P )

What To Expect: August 2021

July has been a bit more eventful than anticipated, hasn't it? The Olympics was about to be cancelled, then started, anyway, COVID cases have been seesawing, and we even had actual rain in Southern California... for a few hours.

So, as I mentioned earlier, Karolyne got accepted into what I believe is some kind of internship program with someone who has experience in the professional comics industry, and becau...

Contrary to what you are seeing at the moment, that's not a dog laying on the ground, that's a lizard. (That would... not be good if a dog wandered all the way from Las Vegas into an abandoned cave; this ain't a Homeward Bound reboot coming to Disney+. >> )

ACES: Chapter 2 Page 26 FINAL

(Fixed the ellipses in the middle panel so they're easier to read!)


I really like seeing things be anticlimactic for the purpose of being funny (as long as it's not how an episode ends, of course). ;P

I wonder what perils are hiding inside the shaft?

Sorry this took a while; Eli got their 2nd COVID vaccine and was out of it, yesterday, but the final page should be finished sometime tonight!

A rather anticlimactic conclusion. ;P

ACES: Chapter 2 Page 25 FINAL

When I was writing the script, I had seen that at CES 2020, they were testing out driverless cars, and I thought that it would be a nice gag to have the trio think they would get some kind of lead by apprehending the driver, only to find out it's what's essentially a driverless Uber vehicle.

Hopefully there haven't been other shows/comics/etc. that already beat me to the punch, by the time we were able to draw this page. ^^;

ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING MOONLIT BREW

I will cut straight to the chase: When I received the touch-ups for C3P25 today, Karolyne informed me that she got accepted into a program that involves important people in the comics industry, and that she would be working with a mentor who has experience with Marvel and DC to improve her art.

Unfortunately, because of this, she informed me that she would no longer be able to make new pages for Moonlit Brew, and would only be able to work on touching up the remaining pages before she s...

I just love Val's expressions for the bottom two panels; she's a girl of many emotions. XP

PSA: Sales Tax Update

Hi folks,

Just wanted to give you all a heads-up for those who haven't been informed by Patreon, by now, that they are going to start adding sales tax/VAT to the rest of Canada (Quebec already had a head start), Thailand, and the exotic lands of Florida and Kansas. The sales tax will be added to affected patrons starting on July 15th on per-post patrons, and August 1st for monthly Patreon pages, like myself. Most other states in the US (and some other countries) have already applied sal...

What To Expect: July 2020

How has everyone been? For me, I'm just waiting to go to Disney World (which, apparently, is going to bring back extra magic hours... in October. A month after I'm going to be there.), and making sure I don't go outside much because of how hot it's been. 

Anyways, for this month, we will be working on ACES Chapter 2 Pages 25-28, while Moonlit Brew C3P25 will be touched up! 

We were a couple ACES pages behind, this month, due to a friend of Eli's passing away, and also th...

ACES: Alfred's Got Pride

So, Eli and I wanted to do something for Pride Month, since we haven't had a lot of non-comic drawings, since Christmas (outside of the occasional bust), and since we have a gay character with Alfred, it made perfect sense!

Hopefully, we can do more stuff like this, soon enough!

ACES: Alfred's Got MORE Pride SKETCH

Eli decided to give Alfred a more dynamic pose for this drawing, rather than him just holding up a flag. :D
