Marie: The day before photo comic release date

The day is almost here.

What happened before Lucas got to that attic? This is what Marie-Claude and her team took upon themselves to explore earlier this year. They built a set, took pictures and recreated a world that was in my head and brought it to life. But ironically, it wouldn't exist without Marie-Claude in the first place.

So here we are. This is a photo comic that I have created, using resources from MC's awesome photoshoot which her team has graciously allowed me to use....

Status and quick teaser

Greetings Northstars!

Just a quick update, I'm working on the next Sarah pages as of now. Well advancing with the colors so it should be out mid week for update #2. I'm trying to keep this weekly for as long as I can guys. Woop Woop!

Here's a little teaser! I still have something Marie-Claude related that I have not shared, I'm waiting for the green light. But it will be this month.

Allright! Cheers and take care!

Sarah! update #1

Phiew!

It's been a long time. I've been asked again and again when I would bring her back. I almost did. I created a sketched story at one time. But I never colored it because something didn't click with me at the time. Well, I took the pages, re-tweaked and re-scripted it entirely and now it's finally ready. At least for me.

So here she is. She's back.

She's Sarah.

Enjoy,

I'm moving along well my new comic just realised that... I'll be able to make the first update this Friday!!!! I'm very excited and can't wait to share! It's the return of an old character. I haven't been very subtle about it this past week. :)

See you Friday!

New comic project

Greetings Northstars!

I'm currently drawing passionately a brand new comic. It's a character I've only drawn once and have always felt like she deserved another shot. It's not a multi part story. It's one and done.

Here's a hint.

Status update + Sarah quick sketch

Greetings Northstars!

Finished the Digital Novel update, the Halloween update plus another illustration for a certain somebody that will see the light next week. I have been busy but now I turn towards doing a sequential again. I was looking at my first comics and always felt like I should get back to Sarah at one point. I storyboarded an entire new comic but it didn't feel 100% right. Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick visual take on how I would draw her today before jumping into my...

It's a plane.

It's a cape too close to a fan.

Health issues

Greetings Northstars,

Nothing serious. September and October kinda kicked my ass.

I am behind my update on the Digital Novel and apologize. I've been feeling under the weather and tried to work through it and it just made it worse.

Still not 100% but enough that I'm putting in the artwork in the engine today. That's usually the last steps. Again, I apologize. I hate when I say something and can't do it.

I will stay transparent and keep you guys posted. I will try to ...

Digital Novel Status

Greetings Northstars!

Tonight I've finished what I will use for the next Thank you for coming update. It took some time, not because of the length of the scene but because I wanted the art to look as good as I needed it to be. Tomorrow I'm putting everything in the Ren'py engine and will code it. This comes with me possibly needing to add some details, but I'm almost done. Trying to aim for the weekend!

After this update is done, I will NEED to take a brake from the digital novel....

Marie-Claude Bourbonnais/John North crossover project

Greetings Northstars!

End August, I get contacted as I sometimes do by somebody who wants to do a project. When I get those nothing ever comes of it. This time though, it was through MC's team. I was told that she had done a set based on the comic Marie. Which is ironic, because I did Marie based on her. They showed me a picture, which this artwork is based on. The theme was, Marie goes to the attic the day before Lucas get's there. I was floored. MC is the spark that got me to create B...

I know I haven't posted anything new since the last update of the novel, but believe me. I have worked non stop since. Here's what I've been up to:

Status - Update

Greetings Northstars!

This has been a crazy week.

I've been busy with both unrelated and patreon related events.

I've finished the secret project I've been working on. I may have to go back and adjust it a bit but it's mainly finished. It has been a very odd journey I must say.

I'm back to my patreon, I will finish the next Thank you for coming update, but I will probably need a breather after that. I miss my other characters A LOT.

I will be working on the n...

Hello Northstars!

I have a small obligation this weekend that needs my attention but wanted to let you know that the digital novel is advancing well. I’m at the cleaning up stage so it’s going well.

This week I will also need to put a few days into the super mega ultra secret collaboration project I’m working on. I still can’t believe how awesome it is.

I will have more to share this week.

Cheers,

He's Amazing

Greetings Northstars,

I've been at work for a while behind the curtains on a character called "Amazing". He's a male protagonist, a mix between Invincible and Spider-Man (Which Invincible is already a mix of Superman and Spidey, but I digress...)

I've been itching for a superhero comic for a long time and I felt like I didn't have the right character. Now he's still a work in progress but this is the first design I felt comfortable with. This would be for a Star Squad comic where ...

Brandy Digital Novel - status

Greetings Northstars!

I apologize if anyone out there is worried that I wouldn't do the next update. I will. It's underway as you can see from the preview. We left Brandy on quite a cliff-hanger. This weekend I was exhausted from work and everything felt very heavy. But worry not.

I got your back.

So here's a peek at Brandy. More teasers to come soon.

Cheers,

Saturday night fun drawing

Greetings Northstars!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's supporting this page. It's been quite a busy month and I feel like October might get a little crazy also.

I updated Thank you for Coming this week and it took a lot out of me. Friday I had a hard time being productive moving on the next update. When this happens, for me it's usually a sign that I should... Switch seats and do something different or else I will stall. I don't know what yet. I'll keep at it Monday ...

Digital Novel progress - update

Greetings Northstars!

I've been juggling many plates these past weeks. One of these plates should be served next month as I'm not the only player in the project.

As for the Digital Novel, today has been very productive. I've managed to put the new visual in the Ren'py engine to see where the next update is going and what's missing. It should go live next week. I'm going to be working hard on a sequence and things are just heating up.

Thanks for your patience, the next part i...
