Growmon is a bit of an oddity in the franchise. In the third iteration (known in the US as Tamers), Guilmon was an imaginary creature created by the series protagonist

This was a bit of a difficult one I almost considered scrapping and starting over at one stage, but I made it! Hope the wait was worth it! (tis this one by the way) Thank you so much again for affording me the opportunity to do these and challenge myself as an artist.

A certain someone gave me the heads up about a certain scene with that one character I have a thing for. Did it make me want to actively watch the rest of the movie? Nope.
But hey, bonus content, right? And for once I didn’t exaggerate (that much).
Enjoy!

Sorry about the delay; a new mattress on Monday and then a dentist appointment on Tuesday made me completely forget to post up the poll results. So here they are, and please look forward to what I’ll produce this month.
Thanks so much again for participating and funding these. Textless version attached.

It’s another transitional page, but this time, a clear indicator that some time has passed between this and the last page.
Please enjoy and look forward to what comes next.

... to all you Patrons for continuing to fund my works; I got paid so I'll send out the archive keys soon enough so please look out for them (and continue to enjoy what works I'll produce this month of November, including this big hint of a mini-comic I've been wanting to do for a while). Enjoy! And thank you again.

It’s a reference to an old Simpsons joke; I just find it funny because like Bart and Lisa, I have no idea what the significance of the line is.

And so we draw a close to this drama, and finally marry the two initially-unrelated arcs of Poking Around. Phew.
Sorry to have kept you waiting, this was a bit of a painful part to draw but fairly cathartic. Thank you so so much to everyone who continues to support this story. Certain variables pending, I hope I'm able to bring you the next arc, where the fun stuff starts. Please look forward to it.
TL Notes:
Can you tell it’s been a really long time since I last worked on this comic? 😅
I only realised how much more illustrative I’ve become as I was finishing up the typesetting for this page. Whoops.
But yep, there we are. No TL notes this time, huzzah. Enjoy.

Fret not, nothing's happened to me (correct at the time of posting this) and as iterated earlier in the month, I'm not planning on vacating either.

In a series first, there’s no title for this part; I deliberately left it out partially because I couldn’t think of anything that would work and I didn’t want a pun to detract the tone of the story at this juncture. Titles are hard.
This wasn’t the easiest page to put together, and I confess to recycling a few panels. But I hope you can read between the lines of what I’m getting at here; there’s a bit more to Bo than just ‘...

It’s a funny coincidence I completed drawing this page just 20 minutes off to the month since the last one (Sunday 15th August, 14:44)
Anyway, I didn’t stop at a place I wanted to but I ran out of room. And it is funny that I avoided drawing Bo’s face until the end of the page; I was a bit too keen on not having too many visually repetitive panels.
But yeah, plot development!
Please look forward to more soon. In the meantime, TL notes!

The tail end of July, I asked if the $2 Hashira Hero Tier should become a Tip Jar tier; that is to say, the artwork posted on that Tier will also be made publicly available. This also means no more advance-screening exclusivity for my two comics, Infurlation Redux and Flora-Fauna-Fen SURVIVE. So pages produced here will go up elsewhere the same day.
This is how you responded:
