Freeze!

That's the best action to take if you don't want to be charged this month.

As of 5th April, I froze charging for this month.  So:

But don't forget, as I bill up-front, new patrons will still pay on sign-up for access to the backlog - this includes if you change tiers, or subsequently drop out and re-join later.

So stay where you are for now.

He'd taken off his breastplate, plackart (protects the torso), faulds, (navel) couters (elbows) and gauntlets (forearms).

If I do anymore from the game as I discover them (Doctor Otter and I are playing co-op on the weekends), I'll probably post them as attachments so as not to spoil people given how recently this came out (accurate at the time of posting, 28/3/2022).  Fortunately, this lot were...

What Will Happen Next Month

I will pause Patreon the first full week of April, beginning Monday 4th April 2022.

If you join or move tiers after that time, you will be charged so please do not do anything after the payment cycle finishes.

Thank you for your support, time and understanding.  I need to get my head together again.

He's Arrived...

Mileage will vary, given what's going on in the world, so this may probably be the last one of its type I'll draw for a while.

Anyway, this is Zirconis from this thing.  That's all I know.  The series isn't my cup of tea, to be honest; I really only came across this character due to a screen cap on Tw...

The Bobcat

A character who (at the time of posting) hasn't played a major part in Infurlation Redux but was name-checked in Part 77.   The story was written before the 2010s so this isn't a direct jab at anything in particular from this era.  And given Infurlation Redux takes place in a fictional world where humans don't exist and are thought to be imaginary... well.

Anyway, I was thinking about how I'd recently depicted Easterforde, Daenrys and Boston in colours ...

Something to Save

I don't know if this is the done thing compared to other artists or platforms, but something someone said the other day made me realise that not everyone who is currently a Patron has followed Infurlation Redux since its inception back in late 2015.  Or knows that I publicly post it for free on DA and the other place.

So here the whole story in an easy-to-downlo...

Sorry.

I feel it would be inappropiate to continue posting this story given the ongoing circumstances in... you know.  This does not mean I'm suddenly ending the comic, but I'm going to wait a while before posting the next pages.  I hope you understand, but I won't blame anyone for withdrawing their funds.  

Sorry.  And thank you for your time and support up to this point.

How do you do, fellow oxygen respirators?  Could you tell I was trying to interpret modern cultural phenomena here?

In all seriousness, I don’t know if I succeeded or not, but that’s beside the point of tjhe story.  I promise more action panels next time, I couldn’t fit them in here.

In any event, enjoy, and thank you so much for continuing to support this work. Really appreciate it a lot, especially as it’s now I’ve started using past characters more… I sho...

Gorimondo is wondering what to do with you...  

Given the game comes out soon and he was already in the demo, this isn't a spoiler.  I am totally looking forward to enjoying the full experience.  👍🏽

"Ah, you're awake..."

The dragoid knight had found you drifting in a nearby body of water and had to dry off after saving you.

Anyway, this is Shining Sabre, a support character in this entity.  There’s a rather wholesome story behind this one, which started out initially as a story on 2022-03-12 13:01:42 +0000 UTC View Post

Poking Around Pt 128

I was in a really weird headspace when producing this page.  I was thinking a lot about Pierre Bourdieu’s essays on sociology, predominantly his musings on what he called habitus.  It’s far too broad a subject to go into detail here, but in layman’s terms, it’s the way in which individuals come together, usually through shared experiences or similar backgrounds, and how doing tha...

過重…か? (Overweight?)

It’s a bit of a reach, as 過重/ かじゅう kajū (overweight) sounds like 怪獣/かいじゅう kaijū.   But in this instance, the term is more like ‘your luggage is over the excess weight limit’, than it being used for people (that’d be 太り気味 futorigimi)

Anyway, this is Yokozuner from this movie. Yokozuner’s name is a corruption of yokozuna 横綱/ よこづな or sumo gra...

Announcement

As of tomorrow morning, Monday 28th February UK-time, the discord will be removed.

Thank you for your time, support and patience, really appreciate it.

Stay safe, stay well.

Hmm...

Normally, I would set up a poll at the end of the month to determine what next month’s VIPinnup and Patrons’ Choice would be.  But nothing’s really grabbed my attention this month of February.  I don’t wish to be a bit lazy and fallback on something I’ve done before; one ought to keep things interesting, don’t you think?

It’s been 4 years since I started drawing these kinds of images (though not under the present titles of VIPinnups and Patrons’ Ch...

Thanks for waiting as always.

I’m disappointed that I wasn’t able to fit in as much as I would have liked on this page, but I got the majority in, even a reference to the thing that bought this arc about.  I’ll get to the crux next time.

Keeping You Informed...

So Patreon sent out a Creator Census thing last month as a means to snapshot how we feel about the platform, and best steer them going forward in improving the platform.  Someone went into it here.

(Another) Slight Correction

It's my fault for not catching that when re-editing the poll image, but I can only do one.  Bit off more than I could chew (and it doesn't help it is like the word 'sheep', where it's the same word for both singular and plural).  Oops.  

Alas, I can't edit images for polls when they've gone live so this will have to serve as a correction.

A Glimpse of Things to Come

It's been slowly getting lighter earlier in the mornings, so I thought of Horus.

Anyway, I am working on the VIPinnups right now, and if I don't run out of time at the end of the month, I'll see what I can do about Yokozuner since I got the artbook earlier in the week.  What am I on about if you don't know?  2022-02-05 10:01:17 +0000 UTC View Post
