Almost there!

Thanks so much for the support :D

Some news for this month: Since this comic is wrapping up there may be a week or two (maybe even 3, I hope not 3!) without any updates while I get some work together and everything ready to start posting a new comic. So if you see that there are a few skipped updates, no worries. You wont be charged for the lack of work, the gaps between comics are a big reason I set this patreon up to be per-post and not per month or week. Low str...

Ben Face Practice

Some rough sketches I worked on today to practice the shape of some of my faces. Used Ben as the subject. I thought it would be cool to show the steps I go through from reference to more stylized. Hope it gives some insight!

1) Gather reference photos - I usually try and use different angles of the face that I know I'll be drawing a lot of in a comic or illustration.

2) Trace-over - I break down the face into simple lines and shapes by tracing over the photo reference quickl...

Two pages left! Winding back down to IRL shenanigans.

Thanks so much for the support!

Note: We have also passed the landmark for the sketch-event to trigger for Patrons. For every month after this current one (that remains above $400) I will be pulling random patron names from ALL successful pledges  to get a free character sketch. Each month will be a different patron! Lets do it---  :D

Yay winding down! The last 3 pages are all SFW so I will be posting them without the usual censor bar. Thank you so much for the support!

PSD packs are being made today and will be sent out soon for this month. Also SOOOO close to the new goal. Only $5 for having it trigger next month. Fingers crossed!

Early update this week since I am con prepping / getting ready for FC in a few days. I wanted to get this page updated before I got down and dirty and accidentally forget!

Nearing the round up for this one too. Going to have to start up a new idea in a few weeks. Hopefully I'll have some concept stuff in a bit for that!

Thanks so much for the support :D

News: New Pledge Numbers

Hey all!

So recently Patreon has done a pretty cool thing and edited the way they show pledge amounts on artist front pages. This means that the number more accurately shows how much money I am actually getting, rather than a number inflated by patreon's cut, deleted + declined pledges, & credit card fees.

What does this mean:

Not a whole lot BUT, It does mean I can set the goal amounts lower than they were before. Having to account for deleted pledges and so on myself ...

Critical Success #37

2 Week Break

Okay! One last news post for this month (I know, September has been hectic!).  I promise this is a quickie.

Due to the 2 weeks I will be out of town I will be posting 2 paid updates this week and 2 paid updates  during the week of the 12th. During the time between the 25th-12th there will be no other updates beyond text posts as I wont have a proper computer with me. Everything after the 12th will proceed as normal again.

Thursday update :D Make sure to click the download link below to grab the file!

Reminder About Reward Tiers

A reminder that I have now deleted the $10-$15 tiers as discussed last week in this post here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/big-announcement-3321935

I wanted to make a quick note: those who were still in the tiers when they were deleted have been default set to "No Reward" by Patreon. If you still want to pledge the same amount of money I suggest just going back in and selecting the $5 tier ...

Ask September 002

Oh no, I made a horrible reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfXfOCIIFcY
