Darn these crowd scenes - but at least it's a sizeable offering, right? Fewer TL notes since this one's a lot more visual and plot-heavy-esque... and obvious hints are obvious. But the not so obvious ones are listed below. Thank you again for supporting this work.
It's been a while since I last journalled on here so here's an update.
Come Sunday 13th, it'll be two weeks to go before I'm away for a fortnight down in Southern England. I'm racing to get as much work done ahead of time so there isn't a sudden lull in content (moreso).

A character born from a mondegreen (mishearing or misreading a word and giving it a completely new meaning based on the mistake). Originally, he was called L. Tivre, but since 'el' in Spanish is "the", I stuck on the full-name of Ezequiel. And there you go. Who can say they've come across many dadbods of this monster? Enjoy this bonus.

Oh ye dogs… it’s done! This took a lot longer to come together than I expected. And I’m disappointed in a way that I couldn’t progress the plot much further than beyond a cheap cliffhanger. But at least I was able to establish just how many did turn up for this meeting.
OK, plot starts next page. Promise. Thank you again for supporting this story. TL Notes for the not-obvious stuff below.
Who wouldn't like a big dragon manservant to come home to? By the way, it's this guy.
Enjoy! And thank you so much to everyone who has continued to support these Buddy renditions. I'll probably change tack for November's pin-ups, but let me know what you think. Thank you again. 🥰
This guy is so new, (like he was announced on the Japanese end 26th September) I could barely find any decent-quality official artwork and had to piece together the Kanji myself. The English name translation is preliminary, so the official one could be changed. But then again, since I'm one of very few non-...

This is probably one of the biggest undertakings I’ve ever done on Patreon, comprising of 134 exclusive images spread over the past three and a half years.
This is a near-complete collection of all the works I’ve produced here under the $1/ Patrons-Only tier from November 2015 up to now (21st September 2019). Not everything made it; some files were since deleted or lost. Others were tied into really cringey posts from my Tumblrina and first-account Twitter day...
2019-09-21 10:13:15 +0000 UTC View PostMy original plan was to get a gallery up collating all the SFW and random bits and bobs I've produced exclusively for Patreon over the years. But it turned out to be a far bigger job than initially intended.
My aim is to get aforementioned gallery up and running before the end of the month. However, as I was preparing to get all the images together, it came to my attention that a whole bunch of images from before mid/late July 2016 had been horribly compressed. I...

There we go, my official reaction to this one but just for you Patrons. And I wanted a bit of a break from some rather intensive comic-ing.
Initially, it was just supposed to be Euan by himself from a different angle (since I drew him before and all) but then I couldn’t help but think of this on...

For those unfamiliar with Buddyfight, in the anime, the player partners up with a monster of a particular 'world', which denotes your playstyle and what cards are available to you. And the buddy usually lives with you mostly in a smaller chibi form as most of the big monsters are a bit ungainly or too big to fit inside a house (this was especially true with the final anime series' co-protagonist, Gargantua Dragon, who...

Hello and thank you so much to both veteran and relative newcomer Patrons (the legitimate ones, not the bots who mysteriously delete their pages after 5 seconds).
I'm still in the process of "gallery-fying" the remainder of my content, including the last and most daunting propsect which I'll title "Odds and Ends". I didn't realise how many one-off drawings and mini-comics I produce...
It’s done! Almost a week later… Anyway, I’m rather pleased with how this page turned out with its composition. Nice and easy to follow, and no boring repeat panels. Well, that’s what I think anyway, but it depends on you think. Not much else to add here. Please anticipate the continuation next month.
So I was working on various projects today but ended up nowhere near finished enough to post any of them. So please accept this as a placeholder. Who is this? A guy from this video game, which at the time of posting, is supposed to get an HD port later in the year like everything else...

It was a bit of a shock to see that this month, I'd earned my first ever 4-figure sum from Patreon. Granted, it dropped back down to three-figures because currency conversion and charges. But still, the August pledges amounted to the biggest ever sum of money I've recieved from here.
Not only that, but nowadays, I seem to be hovering around 100 Patrons. It's like... wow. Thank you so so much to everyone, both veterans f...

This is my reaction to this one recently revealed. Since in Japanese, a cormorant is literally "u" (鵜), I went with Euan. He'll probably appear in Poking Around's next page since... well, obvious reasons. Ha. Maybe I've been too influenced by Angry Birds recently.

Similar to the last page, this one was heavily rewritten a bit. But good news, it’ll act as the final bridge to the part that everyone’s been waiting for. For I have laid my soul bare and worked out my inner conflicts. Or something… and see, I started tying things together a bit, at least visually. And fleshed out Jichō; I hope it's pretty obvious what he's talking about since that's kind of based on me.
Anyway, that’s all. Enjoy and look forward to the ...

Originally uploaded 23rd August 2019, this will be the place to come for Infurlation Redux.
If you’re new here, I post Infurlation Redux here first, with the pages appearing publicly a fortnight later. And my influences are pretty obvious. Anyway, enjoy. And thank you so very much to all the Patrons who helped fund this re-imagining from back in late 2015 (just after I’d quit my dayjob to focus on art full-time).

For newcomers, I tend to do 4 pin-ups a month - two NSFW ones and two more SFW-ish (kind of). So this is one of the latter.
Anyway, I’d forgotten how much easier it was to remember the names of the Buddy Monsters; they were much less ornate in the beginning of the series. Iron Chain Dragon used to be a regular of the series protagonist in the early days but as more deck packs got introduced, he fell by the wayside.
I’ll spare the rhetoric and simply link the refer...

First of all, a great big thank you to all those well-wishers who gave me their best regards yesterday. It was a far busier birthday than I expected.
I will be finishing the Bear With updates next week, as well as this month’s Flawed Fealty Furtherance pages. The title pages for the galleries are taking me way longer than I expected. I'm not sure if I shouldn't just collate stuff in a gallery regardless and go "there!".

Now Patreon has learned the Gallery ability, I will be uploading Poking Around pages here. This means no longer having to scroll to the bottom to click on a link to all the previous pages, you can do it all within this singular post here.
The caveat is no TL notes; you’re just getting the artwork only or this text box would go on forever.
