Here's a lines preview of tomorrow's page
We hit the funding goal! Here's the first four chapters of my dreampunk novel. It was originally a comic script that I pitched to Image comics about three years ago, but I decided to work on novelizing it while I was in Japan. It's been a lot of fun to write and I'll try and get it out to you guys a few chapters at a time. Let me know what you think!
A work in progress of something I'm doing for fun.
Hey guys!
It's really cool to hear a lot of people have tried out the super early RPG rules. I hope your games have been going well and everything is running relatively smoothly!
I wanted to make a general all-purpose post here: if you've played the RPG with the current rule set, please let me know if any questions/comments/concerns you have with the rules.
I'm looking to refine the rules a little bit, as I'd ideally like to focus on working at the lore/illustrat...

Here's the lines for tomorrow's page. I really like the next two pages but the couple of exposition pages preceding them are kind of a pain. Super important to the overall plot of the comic though!
Here's a very quick and messy process .gif of the last page.
I'll try and get a recording of me doing one for you guys soon. If you have specific questions about my work process, you're always welcome to ask away!
I added a new goal. I'll definitely come up with some more comic-related goals in the future, for now this is something kind of fun that you guys might enjoy. I can't promise it will come out that fast but I can promise it will be rad as hell. The book is based on a comic concept I started to draw as a comic pitch ages ago, though the characters and actual de...

I wanted to just make a quick video and thank absolutely everyone that's chipped in for the Patreon over the last month or so. It's totally surpassed my expectations and it's enabling me to work on the comic full time, which has been a huge dream of mine.
This month I'm heading off to Stan Lee's Comikaze expo in Los Angeles (I'll be there on the Saturday) and will be in LA from the 26th of October for about a week, so I'll have a little less time to draw. I don't think I'll be able to hit ...
2015-10-09 19:56:09 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, I'm not sure if you've heard, but there was a data breach at Patreon a little while ago. Please make sure you change your password, and the passwords of other accounts or e-mails that use it (I've already done it!)
Here's a wallpaper of today's page!
A huge thank you to everyone who put their support in this month! I'm absolutely astounded by the amount of support I received in just a short week or two, and I'm going to do my absolute best to get as much stuff to you as I can.
Cheers!
Abbadon
Thank you so much for the support this month!
2015-10-01 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostFor those of you thinking of running a game with the RPG, I'll post a very simple GM toolkit and a scenario to try out the characters with in the next week or two. I'll expect some earnest playtesting feedback though!
The google hangout is live! Come join up. You're welcome to share the link privately with people who'd like to come hang out, but I'd like to get patrons in here first. Please don't post it anywhere! (4chan, etc).
I'll probably be hanging out until around 4pm PST (UTC-8) or so, just drawing and chatting.
See you there!
Hello all you lovely people.
Our first google hangout is going to be Saturday, September 26th, from 2pm Pacific Standard Time (US). I'll probably just chat and draw for an hour or two and you guys are welcome to join up. I'll post the link up here when it's up so you can hop in.
Hangouts video/voice has a limit of about 10 people, but the chat is up to 100 so I don't think it'll be an issue. You will need a google account to participate.
See you then!
I think a lot of people when first trying their hand at coloring (myself included), get really restrictive with the color choices they use. For example, a tree must have dark and reddish/brownish bark, and green leaves.
The thing is, in reality, color is not a fixed phenomenon - your perception of color can change based on time of day, light, atmosphere, reflections, sub-surface scattering (this is what happens with stuff like skin), and many other factors. The brain is also extremely ...
2015-09-22 16:30:40 +0000 UTC View PostI'll probably have the play sheets (characters) for the RPG up at some point in the next week for $10 a month Patrons for you guys to check out and give me feedback. It'll have a simple mechanics explanation if you've never played Apocalypse World or any of its incarnations as well.
We hit the $1500 a month mark! However I will mention am a little suspicious that the very high monthly amount a patron pledged may have been just to hit the milestone goal this month. I'm going to honor the milestone by starting more work on the RPG and aim to get you guys a text-only playtest copy in the next month or two.
However there won't be a 10 update month this month, just 2 per week as normal. If the milestone persists into next month, I will start updating to try and hit th...

Hey guys, here's a quick post on coloring.
In my humble opinion, the best way to pick colors and to color (especially for comics), is to emphasize relationships, especially
contrast
. A lot of amateur colorists end up making stuff with very little color or value (light and dark) variation.
Ideally in art you want certain parts of the picture to 'pop', or be visuall...
2015-09-15 01:32:54 +0000 UTC View PostThe entirety of the comic is now in color, in case you needed a reason to re-read it.
Here's the old 'Fate Deferred' art, it might make a return on the site but I've taken it down for now for smoothness. Check it out!
It's barely been two days and we've hit the twice a week milestone already - so I'll say more on this (thinking of making a video), but for now I'm really finding it hard to express how astounded I am at the amount of support for this comic. I was expecting to maybe hit the $520 a month goal but definitely not to double it with such speed.
I want to let you know it's directly through your support that I'm going to be able to realize a personal goal of mine - treating this comic as a...

Here's a simple wallpaper for you guys. I'll try and get some more up when I find the time. Let me know which pages you'd like to see.
Also let me know if the sizing on these is wonky, I'll fix it easily.
Thanks for all the people supporting the comic! If we hit any of the goals, I'll try and get the rewards up ASAP (will have a high resolution page of Throne up soon), and anyone who's donated to look at sketches/process, etc will have a whole heap of it hitting here this weekend as I work on the next comic.
More to come.
