I want to apologize for the delays in updates on this. It has been kind of crazy weekend. Progress will begin ramping up again this week!

A warning to new patrons, the next few pages are going to be extremely graphic. I shall note such in their titles upon posting. <3

3 Mill Sub Event Comic [WIP]

I originally did not intend to submit a comic for this event due to production of "The Chase," but enough folks were really hoping for it, and with a little push from a mod, thought of a decent script a few days ago. I adore it. We needed something a little light on here anyhow as a kind of reprieve from the current string of sketches, haha.

Once the colors are wrapped on this comic, "The Chase" updates will resume immediately after. Script went through several rewrites to avoid puttin...

A message to active patrons.

I again just want to thank you all directly for sticking it out during the making of "The Chase." I have been attempting to transition into creating pseudo graphic novel caliber work since "Thrill Seeker," and it hasn't been easy, particularly in the department of generating support for my long form work.

As most of you know, 2023's "The Chosen One" was intended to serve as the official introduction to "The Velluto Duo," and it unfortunately was entirely derailed due to a huge loss in...

"The Chase" Sketch Teasers

I am about to resume activity on Patreon with a flurry of updates on this absolute mammoth of a comic first week of June, so y'all hang in there! I have reached Page 17 of sketches. With pacing, stare downs, and a particular entrance factored in, we are looking at a nearly 30 page comic.

Not to worry, I am trying out a dozen different techniques to assure I can start getting finals out in rapid fire. The third act remains a secret for all patrons. Holler soon!

You know what's coming don't ya.

(Attention Moths, Pupae, and 4th Instar Larvae: I will soon begin reaching out over Patreon Chat with your invitations to the Discord. We have many channels there for various types of discussion and shenanigans, but best of all, I will be drawing the main account comics live for y'all there and updating you on your benefits! I apologize for sparse updates, life has been a little hectic outside of the comics, but getting back to it!)

"PROBLEM"

I meant to post this on the Patreon this morning alongside the Reddit post! My bad. I will link the post for y'all in the comments, it contains a major rule change I was asked to create this comic to pair with. The announcement concerns AI in the subreddit.

Had a ton of fun with this one, and thank you guys so much for you support!

"Down in New Orleans" [Raw Dawg Fan Art]

This was such a joy to draw, and served as a wonderful warm up. All the patterns I had to paint during, however, goodness.

Another of the mini comics will be going to reddit this morning on "Ellie's" Elk account! Be on the lookout. This drawing will be posted to the RD subreddit shortly after. I will soon begin posting sketches on Patreon for the new main account comic as well. Thank you guys so, so much for being here! I know it has been a crazy week since "Nature," I have to work har...

"The Nature of Things" [COMPLETE]

New patrons, thank you guys so, so much for joining the Patreon during the time it took to churn this out. This one is a bit unusual in that it's probably the most G-rated comic I've put together since things like "Quality Time" and "Rise and Shine," but it seemed to me folks needed something light and fun rather than jarring and gory during these difficult times. I had such a blast drawing this one, and I so appreciate those who hung around to watch it happen!

Brief Update

"The Nature of Things" is nearly complete! I am working as fast as I can without compromising the quality of the comic to get it out to y'all as soon as possible. I appreciate y'all's patience and I am deeply grateful for y'all's continued support here. My 8 pagers and love letter panels are such a marathon, and I apologize for the radio silence on the Patreon. I'll be back on shorter one offs and consistent content once this season's juggernaut is wrapped!

Y'all are the best, thank yo...

This is an interesting series of pages because the point at which I finally shook off the post Mardi Gras funk and hit my stride again is observable, haha. Super jazzed about this comic. Needed a fun one-off before I get back into trouble. Hope y'all will dig the finals!
