Scaredy Cat: Thumbnails and Unseen Draft Ending

I'm going to take this opportunity to talk a bit about my creative process and general thoughts on the story.

About Scaredy Cat...

The story was supposed to be a quick 5 pages, but they were averaging around 7 panels per page and the pace caused everything to blur together. I decided focus on one major beat per page, and leave some space to pull back and show the reaction. This provided some variety in panel focus between close ups and interior shots. While I wanted to provide a f...

Scaredy Cat

It's been a while since I've posted here, which seems like the most unforgivable considering the incentives inherent to the site. I'll go more into it in another tweet but I promise to show a little something extra.

Creamy Cheese

A little fooling around as I reacquaint myself with Photoshop.  

For those of you who don't know, Cheese is an OC of the always fun General Irrelevant

The Cat Café - process gif

Someone asked if I could make a process video. Luckily they asked at the start of the project so I could actually take screen shots as I went.

It should loop after the last frame is on for 5 seconds.

The Cat Café

News first, Story down below:

So full disclosure --and probably an easy guess if you saw the taskbar layer in Photoshop as I was making this-- but part of why I made this, why I made it so detailed, and why I tried to keep it PG-13 is because I wanted to make a desktop background for people. For now I wanted to give the desktop options to patrons only as a thank you for your support, though I will post a version of it on other sites.

Birb become boy

Oh look another obscure bird to add to my list. This one is a bird of paradise called the Raggina. It has the longest armpit hair of any animal and that's what the lady birds love. 

Proving once and for all that even birds have freaky sex kinks. So the next time someone yucks your yum, remember the Raggina and shove their face in your armpit. Who knows, you might make a friend.

. . . I've been re-watching True Facts videos on Youtube.

Re-Specing Characters

Dump all your trash stats and specialize as hard as the system allows. Remember, Luck can either be a waste of a stat, or the most game breaking thing ever.

A sketch comic that grew out of one of my patrons requests. Got a little too ambitious and it ended up eating a lot of my weekend, but I think it came out good.

Curious Water Dragon

The white mage learned how to summon lesser beasts. Should come in handy for performing simple tasks, or whenever you get bored. Careful though, summoners often start to resemble their familiars.

Magic Explodophones

Took a page and drew it fast and loose. Nothing super detailed, just trying to get the idea down in a sitting.

Spaniel Girls

Trying to strike that balance between floof and skin.

Purple Rhino Knight

Rhino M2F was all the request said but god help me I couldn't help but be inspired by the Holy Purple Rhino Knights from Berserk. 

For those unaware, they do not turn into rhinoceros women but the story does revolve around people selling their humanity to become horrible (sometimes sexy) monsters. You can't tell me that the deer archer guy isn't sexy.

Rainshine

 A little side project I've been playing with. Trying to keep everything really loose. I haven't had a chance to use traditional art in a while, so it was nice to practice.

The secretary bird secretary bird secretary

I looked up reference for this bird and saw multiple images of the bird swallowing and entire snake. It was so cool.

Newly sphinxed

Give her a break, not everyone likes riddles.

Chubby Gryf

Girls is getting a whole lot more majestic all of a sudden.

It's fun to show the segmentation of the limbs. 

First sketch stream in online

Open for all to see, everyone in the $5 and up camp feel free to shout out ideas. Hope to see you there.

Changes to the patreon

In an effort to produce more than a hobby level of art work at any given time I'll be switching to a monthly payment schedule. I'm also opening up a new tier on Patreon at the $5 mark which will offer private sketch streams on Fridays. In preparation to the new stream schedule I've made some changes to my Picarto channel  (I ponied up the cash for a premium account and proceeded to make as many emotes as I was allowed).

For those of you interested in the private stream I will iron out any...

Siren's Egg 05

So 5 pages in and I've already changed how I draw Caduceus. To hell with consistency, this story is about changes.

Siren's Egg 04

And here we finally meet the main character. She seems happy to be here.

Fantasy Deer

Training in nature magic can be difficult for a number of reasons. Not only is the subject matter complex in its understanding of living things, but practice is plagued by constant setbacks that take time to undo.

Siren's Egg 03

The snake coming out of her head can talk. :D

Siren's Egg 02

Side characters don't get names, I just call him ratman, or Namtar if you prefer.

Siren's Egg 01

This lady has a snake coming out of the back of her head, 4 arms, and Doctor is not her title, it's her first name. I love this character, why did I make her a side character?

Author's Note - The Caduceus is also known as the Rod of Hermes, who was the protector of travelers, tricksters, and thieves. It is often confused with the Staff of Asclepius, who was the god of medicine. Nowadays the two are virtually interchangeable, which makes it easy for Caduceus to play her tricks.

It's what the people want

I just want to get a sense of what people are interested in for the sake of building towards something. 

Feel free to comment if there are any suggestions I missed. Depending on the reception I may post another poll.

Free comics to those who pay in...wait.

 So I figure patrons should have something other than my guilt to repay them for their support. So I think I'll make my pay comics free to view for patrons. I'll still be selling them when it's finished to the people outside of the patreon, but for the friends that helped light a fire under my but you've paid your dues (literally). 

I don't mean this as a big decision, its pretty obvious. Just making the announcement.

I'll put up a poll to get a sense of some other things peopl...
