Hey everyone!
I thought I'd make an open question and answer post here on Patreon for your convenience. I do have asks open on the KSBD tumblr (and I get a lot, which is great!), but if you have any specific questions you'd like to ask, please feel free to throw them here or pm me. Questions about the comic are great, but you're also welcome to ask about the production process, any tips or tricks fo...

Here's a preview the real next page of KSBD.
As you can see, I have insisted on plunging myself into swirly Rococo Hell and so it's taking a little longer to color than I expected.
There's no text on this page, but there is a repeated sound effect
'TAP.....TAP.....TAP'

2016-03-31 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View Post(Here's an upcoming story about Het that will be posted under the comic - I thought you might want to read it early and all at once. Enjoy!)
There came a time when the dust of the road grew too thick for Het and her great stave grew heavy, and the days grew dead and cold. She lifted her brow to the horizon, and spying the faint light of shelter, set her shoulder to the wind and drove on. It was not long before she came upon a cramped and hardy town, set into the earth as though frozen ther...

Here's a quick preview of tomorrow's page!
Might clean this up a bit, but almost done coloring it. In the meantime, enjoy!
Come join up here!
(https://hangouts.google.com/call/qm57ngt74zdphlcq4ziorgwrkye).
We'll hang out and chat for an hour a two. There's a chat function if you don't want to turn on your video, but to access it, you have to turn on the older version of google hangouts (look for the ... ...
2016-03-19 20:59:22 +0000 UTC View PostHappy March everyone!
This month's patron hangout will be a little early, since I'll be traveling next weekend.
It's a little short notice, but I think we're going to hold it Saturday, March 19th (tomorrow my time) at 2:00pm PST (UTC -8:00). I'll post a link when the hangout is live.
See you there!
Loot's a card game a good friend of mine is working on that I promoted a little while back. It's coming along on kickstarter in May I think, but in the meantime here's a rough piece of promotional art I did for it (probably tweak this a little bit before the final version)
Here's the other page I had in Prophet - you can find both and this one in volume 4. If you like KSBD you will love Prophet, it's essentially Conan the barbarian in space with a super rich setting and some incredible artists.
Here's a piece I did for Image comic's Prophet a while back. Prophet's a super good comic and you can get your hands on it at a ton of comic shops (I've got this page and another in volume 4).
Here's a work in progress for you guys for the cover of the print edition of KSBD, which I expect should be out in the world around June this year. I'll keep you updated!
Thank you so much for the support this month!

Here's some quick thoughts of mine on paneling, and what makes good paneling/composition in comics. Hopefully it's useful! If you want a longer video or more examples, let me know in the comments below.
Cheers!

This month's google hangout will be Saturday, February 27th at 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time (UTC - 8:00). I'll post a link up when the chat is live, and we'll hang out, chat, and talk about KSBD and comics for a couple of hours. I've really enjoyed the last few, so I hope to see you there!
Here's the preview for tomorrow's page, full of lace and fancy hats
Hi everyone, just thought I'd check in and let you know my upcoming goals. I've been focused on drawing the comic recently, which has been super art heavy, and will always be my top priority. However, I know updates have been a little slower here so I want to let you know my plans over the next two or three weeks:
-Release a version of the RPG with a lot of the basic world lore, world building tips for campaign settings, a brief enemy bible/monster manual type thing, and some detail on loc...

As we hit the reward goal again, here's three more (much longer) chapters of Six Inches. The last release went until Chapter 7, but I'm releasing the whole thing here in case you haven't started reading.
This is sort of a very early reading copy, but I like what I've done so far. I have a lot more of it on the way (have written about 60,000 words so far), and my goal is to finish this novel/novella off over the next year, with a lot of editing.
Cheers!

Here's tomorrow's monster page. Wish me luck as I color this. It's a pretty large file, so I've also attached it to the post.
Trying to get the kinks out while doing this page and did a 30 minute thing of Cio. I may clean it up and finish it someday!
Hey everyone, happy Valentine's Day!
Here's a podcast interview I did with The Trade podcast a while ago (while I was still living in Japan). I think I mentioned this on social media when it was put up, but I thought it might be interesting to watch for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
Cheers! I'll have more bonus stuff coming for you guys later this week, and I'm really looking forward to the upcoming pages.
Here's a wallpaper for you guys of one of my favorite pages. If anyone needs a new size or wants a mobile wallpaper of this, let me know.
Here's a quick preview of tomorrow's page sans colors!
The final bonus page this month should be up tomorrow, but in the meantime, here it is without the colors!
Come join up here!
That's (https://hangouts.google.com/call/jj3iahtteqh4tiiuz5vmi5kme4a) if you're a copy paste sort of person.

2016-01-31 21:59:15 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I owe you a big apology - I had to drive out of town last minute to help a friend and missed the hangout start time (everything is fine now). Sorry for the lack of updates about the situation.
We'll move the hangout forward one day, so I'll have it tomorrow at the same time (2:00pm Pacific Standard Time - UTC minus 8:00). Hope to see you there, and apologies to anyone who put time aside to hang out today!
Thank you so much for the support this month!
2016-01-31 00:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostWe hit the $2100 a month milestone goal, which is awesome! So this week, I'll try and get you several more chapters of Six Inches.
This weekend we'll have the patron hangout, since it's the very last weekend of the month. It'll be Saturday the 30th, at 2pm PST (UTC -8:00). We'll hang out for a couple hours, chat, and draw.
Hope to see you there!

Here's a lines preview of tomorrow's page!
Really like how the lines came out on this one.
