Holiday Art Freebie Event for $10+

Happy December! It's the Holiday time and due to there only being a few updates this month I wanted to do a special event for those of you who have been supporting me in the drawing tiers. This month, instead of mailing out doodles, everyone in the $10+ tiers who posts a reference here will get a free digital B/W bust shot! These will be compiled and posted to this Patreon along with the PSD files for last month. The raffle for $15+ will still take place this Friday but I really wanted to...

Mini Tutorial #1: Expression Tips

As per suggestion a 'mini' tutorial on how I work with expressions. It's a little word heavy and is my first tutorial so hopefully it's not too terribly hard to understand! Both the expression sheet and actual tutorial are in the attached zip for download.

Sketch Winner: Sitku

The sketch winner for this month! I ended up doing 2 because I felt the first one wasn't really the quality I wanted. So hopefully you don't mind the extra mini doodle. Thanks so much for the support!

Q&A Event: Week 10

I really liked the idea behind this question and I am considering doing more parts for the other characters. This story is actually a personal one but I thought it would be cute to have it attached to Avery. Tales of mistakes you make as a kid are always so innocent.

October Sketch Winner

Thank you all for the support. The sketch raffle winner for the First Month is Sitku! Please shoot me a PM with a character reference and 3 words describing what you'd like me to sketch (Example: Cute, Summer, Bikini). Keep in mind these sketches are just character sketches with no BG and I will be posting them to this patreon or as part of a PSD pack!

PSD: Large Pack V2

Q&A Event: Week 9

Did something a little different this time around. I was asked by BrandtheHero how I came up with my characters for T43 and I got a little carried away. No illustrations for this one and it is very text heavy! I apologize for that, but I hope it's an OK read. Thanks for asking! I did have a lot of fun with this one :D Please let me know if there are any issues with the link. http://tinyurl.com/T43CharacterDesigns Ed...

Page 14 WIP

I haven't shared a WIP in a fair while (due to most of the pages up until now being in various stages). I figured it was time to show a second stage rough sketch. This is the stage where shapes start to look like something and right before I clean sketch and ink. This page was not in the original thumbnails and was added on later to make the transition and pacing less choppy between 13 and 15.

Tutorial Suggestions

Happy November. In October the patreon goal of $200 per update was reached. That means starting this month (and as long as the goal remains met) I will be looking for suggestions to create tutorials to be put here. I haven't made tutorials before so this should be a good learning experience for me as well as you guys. Let me know what you'd like to see in the comments below!

$200 milestone

Hey! Just a notice to say that the $200 milestone has been hit as of last night. If this number can remain over $200 into November I will make the first suggestion post for tutorials! As long as the pledges remain over $200 per upload I will be releasing a tutorial every month as long as suggestions hold up. So start thinking :D thanks so much for the support! Honestly, this is way more support than I ever thought I would get on these comics. I appreciate it so much.

Patron Question

Hey all! This is a question and potential news post for $5+ patrons! I want to rework how I upload PSD files and make them a little more streamline. Being that Patreon is new these thoughts and changes are kind of expected but I wanted to keep everyone on the same page! Thusly: I have considered doing a large pack of PSDs at the beginning of every month instead of a sporadic update once in a while. There was a pack uploaded on Oct 2nd that is a good example of what I'm referring to. These pack...

News 10/15/14

This marks the halfway point of this particular comic. What does that mean? A few people might have noticed that there haven't been too many WIP updates. This comic was initially started before I made this Patreon and I got to about the halfway point with inks. Due to that, there hasn't been too much to post that I couldn't show in a few PSDs. I am now reaching the point where I have pages only just sketched out and I will start saving my progress to show you guys! I'll also be starting on Patr...

PSD: Large Pack V1

As promised, a special PSD pack for $5+ supporters! This pack contains 12 images. One 7 page Vignette I did for Wetblush, a 4 page vignette that was a recently completed commission and a select comic page from the last 3 uploaded. Enjoy! Please let me know if you have any issues with the file and I will mirror it elsewhere. This is my first time uploading a larger .zip to patreon.

A late update but I am officially back from my trip. Due to this page being delayed I will be putting together a special PSD zip file for $5+ supporters later today. So look out! As always: thanks for the support!(Sorry if this appears twice in your inbox, I made a small error on the first upload!)
