Kurt is turning and I'm here for it. From this run.
For the benefit of anyone relatively new, I seem to have developed a bit of a ... thing for these two - that's who 'Hank' refers to.

So following a poll early last month, I produce this first set of profile pics.
And here are the next lot. Again, not much in the way of rhyme and reason except my guesttimating on what I hope you would Patrons would like. More to come in the future, hopefully. Saved as attac...
That's it.
Sorry for no Valentine's related stuff; not really my cup-of-tea.
Also, watching the Superbowl next weekend so I'll probably be out of commission the subsequent Monday.
Nothing yet on this platform's developments regarding you-know-what, but I'll keep you posted ...
Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Patrons' Choice Poll over the past week.
Please look forward to what I’ll produce later in the month!

Despite my best efforts, I was unable to complete this month's instalment of Battlefield Foxglove in time.
I'll try to get the pagesm done as soon as for February. Sorry to have let you down at the last hurdle. As stipulated here, I'll have to think about how to better pace myself so the comic pages don't suffer as a result of overwork and feeling creatively bankrupt. &nbs...
A character who didn't make it into Poking Around at the point I wanted to introduce him. He'll probably appear in the future though.
As for why this piece exists, I felt crummy and went a bit self-indulgent for a while. He's supposed to be my attempt on this but I'll probably revise the design or something. Ah well, enjoy thi...
.. in regards to me doing the comic pages in a timely fashion. I mean, it's the 29th (at the time of posting this) and I've still 3 pages left do to meet my commitments (1 more page for Infurlation Redux and 2 for Battlefield Foxglove). So I'm gonna revise my estimates down to .... I'm not sure yet.
Granted, being a Hashira Hero is more like a tip jar than anything else. So I don't know. But I felt I had to say something, sin...
It is done. It took me a really long time but I did it. It’s done.
This part, anyway, there's still a lot more comic to cover.
If you don’t know what I’m on about, when Poking Around first manifested here, each page used to have TL notes to clarify some of the more obscure jokes and references. And there was a lot of trivia t...

Very sorry for this being posted so late, Towering Champions!

This is how the vote went for next month's images and an interesting pair of choices have been made. I've attached the file to the post in case you can't read the text (of which there's a lot). So please look forward to what I'll produce. The remaining 4 categories will be rolled over into the Towering Champions' Patrons' Choice Poll, coming soon.
Sorry this illustrati...
No more picnic but more next month.
Thank you for your support. Don't forget, you can catch up on past pages via Poking Around Completely.
Comics always take me a lot longer to put together than singular images so please hang in there. I'll try my best to get the new ages of Battlefield Foxglove, Infurlation Redux and Poking Around posted within the next 11 days (time of posting). Thank you for your support and patience.

It’s the first page of the New Year, albeit an uneventful one. Still, thank you for waiting. With a change of location forthcoming means a lot more action, so please look forward to it.
Going forward, I’m planning to only add the pages onto Poking Around Completely, and not separately, just so then this account doesn’t get overly cluttered and everything’s in one p...
After what has transpired earlier in the month (here and here), say hello to Generation I of custom profile pictures.
Can you tell I had no idea what I was doing and was just making this up on the fly?
This is my first time drawing something like this, so be nice.
I’ll work on Generation II ...

So, following the events of the Venom series, the titular character finds their consciousness catapulted to Limbo where some horned alchemists (unnamed) are experimenting with what they call ‘Pitchblende’ from the ‘Earth-Realm’, or as we know it, the Symbiote. Due to how little of it there ...

So, the latest event in the comics (at the time of posting this), sees a lot of the heroes and villains suddenly entangled with the demon-infested Limbo and… stuff happens. That’s all I’ll say about it since this is so very recent, but there’s 2023-01-12 11:17:15 +0000 UTC View Post

This would be Anti-Venom. That's all I know; he was introduced in an era I wasn't really paying attention to what was going on in the comics. This article explains things better than I could. Regardless, enjoy!

“You just like seeing us in this scenario, don’t you?”
Yes, yes I do, even if it’s really difficult to draw.
This is in reference to Venom being in this game. I don’t actually play it; I just vaguely remember it being a thing in December 2022.
Enjoy.

Yup, Kurt and Hank again. Just me musing on New Years' resolutions, which mostly involve exercising; I happened to take up swimming again for the first time in two years at the time I drew this. Enjoy!

... and the folly of washing on the wrong setting. Whoops.
Why did I draw this? Well, these two are randomly going to appear in some video game (at the time of posting, January 2023). That's it. Enjoy!
How do you feel about being publicly accredited?
Granted, it's obviously the right thing to credit those who've contributed to a work, and I've credited those who directly funded the continuation of Flora-Fauna-Fen SURVIVE and Infurlation Redux in the past. But I grew up in a different era of the internet, in which most people weren't so ready to ascribe themse...
The default Patreon profile pictures have been haunting me. So should I go ahead with these?
I dunno what shape they’ll take yet - whether I'll do them as a set, or do custom ones-- but I definitely know the size I'll draw 'em at, illustrated below.
So I'm testing the waters right now to see if there is a demand. Please let me know what you think.
