Hmm, I meant to preview this a bit earlier, but a day early is good!

I'm going to be doing another stream tomorrow, probably a bit earlier than the previous ones (6 PM-ish CST) where I'll be answering questions, coloring comics, and playing some MST3K and whatnot. Will probably be 2-3 hours!

This is only a thing you're tangentially funding, but I am out of business cards and am getting some new ones. I figured I'd splurge a bit JUST BECAUSE I wanted something a bit more awesome than a regular card.

Housepets finished up the Imaginate arc this month (with two days delayed due to illness BUT with a Spot intermission) and also had the Valentines bonus strips!

Saturday stream will be at 9 PM CST, which should be about 3 hours from now. I'm going to try finding a link-based invite I can post here, so check the Patreon wall at about that time in you don't get an email invite.
2014-02-23 00:11:11 +0000 UTC View PostStream Thingy
The thing we ended up doing for streaming was using Google Hangouts. Now, in order to send out invites I needed to use your emails that you provided for your Patreon--if this is not your regular email then I can't exactly contact you. I apologize that this didn't get set up properly (I'ts experimental!) but I might try another stream again on Saturday. Is there a way to post a link that everyone can access? Or do I just need people to log into Google+?
2014-02-20 07:52:27 +0000 UTC View PostA&H #1 p2
I did this as part of the stream--I'm still experimenting with how I want tones to look so it might be erratic for a while still. This is flat with no shading layers!
2014-02-20 07:34:52 +0000 UTC View PostLivestream reminder!
This is just a reminder that the January livestream is TONIGHT starting at about 9 CST. This will more-or-less be a test run for future livestreams so it will be a loose schedule/topics and we'll try several things out. I will be posting the link in the Patreon stream. We'll possibly be doing Tinychat instead of Google Hangouts, but again, this is all test run stuff.

Yes, even though it's lain dormant for a couple months my photo printer still works awesomely. These prints are 8x11 on matte photo paper and look awesome, though I'm hoping next month we can shoot for higher quality. I'll be mailing these out soon! If your payment did NOT process--I'm not entirely sure what needs to happen to fix it? But if your payment didn't go through, there isn't a way to reverse/fix it, and you were onboard for a January print, make sure your payment can process for THIS ...

I think--perhaps, maybe--I am ready to get going with A&H Club! What I'm going to do for the time being is start posting the comic (or other content, mostly A&H) to the web on Saturdays (every week or every other week depending on the schedule), but Patrons will get to view the updates a few days ahead of time! Hope you enjoy!

2014-02-01 07:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostMonthly Breakdown!
Okay a bit of a thing first; Patreon doesn't update their FAQs so I can't tell if checking monthly payments option (something they added since I started) causes the payments to automatically be monthly without any additional work on my part. Since there isn't a dropdown box here to designate free/paid posts anymore, I'm going to assume that's the case; however I think it'll be good to give a monthly rundown of everything under the umbra. (This will be updated as the month closes out) Housepets...

In the process of getting other work out of the way, I decided my collection of brush pens weren't varied enough and I have ordered more; they'll be here by the end of the month. I should have the cover for A&H 1 done before then. (To be quite honest I'm still nervous about this whole project going forward; I'm trying to push myself past my perfectionism and just get to doing) In the meantime I have been editing an unpublished short story I wrote last year called "Love, And Other Lies We T...
2014-01-19 05:04:37 +0000 UTC View PostA&H Preliminary Tests
I haven't used this technique of making comics for full-page comics yet so I did a few tests to see how I could make it work. As I prefer to have a lot of output, I won't be doing hand lettering (that is a ridiculously precise skill and I am not patient enough). However I wanted to use a font different from Housepets (which uses Webletterer BB), so A&H Club will use VTC Letterer Pro. This is not going to be the final panel; I need to do some adjustments to the page and start over.

Okay this is another thing I've been thinking about and I wonder if Patreon is better suited toward people who produce context weekly/bi-weekly or monthly or what have you. Producing content 4x/week means that the "minimum" I have to charge is both really small and difficult for a potential patron to get a handle on--do they have to do the math in their head? Can they be sure that they know exactly how much they're pledging per month? What I'm saying is, do you think it'd be better if I just fo...

Nope, the comic still didn't post correctly in the thumbnail this time. I really don't know why it can't pull images correctly.
