Marie

Hey guys,

I just wanna talk about Marie a little. And what Rise of Adam represents.

When I first did the Marie book, it looked like a pretty simple premise. Step Nephew with hot aunt. Magical game. Done.

But I had more in mind. In fact, everything is in the attic scene, where Lucas discovers all the "junk" that's hauled up there. It was just a fraction of how big Marie's world is. She was not always a stay at home... consultant. She used to be an adventurer. She was conside...

Next!

I will be done with Lesson #1 of H4T tomorrow. So what's next?

Now I always follow what I want to do, because if I don't, what I put out will look sloppy and won't put my 100% in it. However, I'm always curious to know how you guys feel.

This is mostly for my curiosity, but I also think it's important for me to know the temperature of the bathwater, so to speak.

What do you wish I did next? (I also understand that this feeling may be impacted by the last page of H4T)

H4T progress

Hi everyone!

Just writing in as I am working on the colors of the LAST lesson 1 update. This one is taking a bit more time, not a lot but a bit. There are 5 pages here, one is a two page spread. It will conclude the first chapter and setup the next one.

Can't wait to post this one! It should be by the end of this week.

Cheers!

H4T tomorrow!

I was really trying to get this one out the door today but it will be out tomorrow. We are nearing the end of the first lesson of H4T. For the record, the other chapters will not be as long. I needed to setup a few things in this one. The plot (yes, there is one), the characters and their relationship to Riley. Riley will have a more substantial role in the story and not just "one of the teachers".

Still not sure yet if I jump to lesson 2 after that or go back to Brandy or Marie. I hav...

Hot4Teach - text adjustments

Hi guys!

Today as I was working on the next H4T update, I re-read the book from the start and noticed some dialogues that needed adjustments. These lines bugged me and by tweaking them, I feel the the story is better. So if you've got a folder with the pages, just overwrite them with these versions. Or don't, it's your choice. :)

Jenna Pinup

Hey guys!

I don't think I've posted this one before. I'm not sure.

I wanted to do a pinup with Jenna and the illustration became the idea of H4T. That, mixed with the sketched Riley page became the comic.

Quick question

I did a comic called "Busty Bachelor Babes" a while back. I was really testing the grounds on how I would do my coloring. There was also some weird stuff in there as I was trying some stuff.

(You can find it in the Archives, pinned at the top of the page if you haven't checked it out!)

Here's my question, how does it register as one of my comics?

Sarah fun

Hey it's been forever since I drew Sarah. Many reasons.

I felt that she was a Brandy clone for a long time, until I changed her hair to red and put some curls in them. I like her a lot. I storyboarded a story two years ago where she goes and see a doctor to help her with her drinking compulsions. I'm toying with the idea of doing this next.

I think she deserves her moment. Especially since I feel that this story wraps up perfectly her storyline. In and out. It's not an ongoing s...

Working hard on the newest update of H4T!

I did a complete layout of the rest of the chapter, so I took some time to do that so I can go faster for the next ones. I'm inking the next update as we speak and here's a quick look if you're interested.
