Augustine 114-116 (CH 2)

Woops! We fell a bit behind but are just starting to get back on our feet here heh!

We've had a bit of a rough couple weeks and a few different distractions (see: other obligations)

So we're tossing ya 3 pages today and have a couple more pages scheduled for next Tuesday!!

We're hoping to get through a good chunk of Augustine ch2 before we hear back about Tas' graphic novel!! Gogogo!

AUGUSTEENIES -- 021: Heartbreaker

Oh Ande.....

we're back! sorry we missed last Monday we had a combination of 'was sick the week before' and 'woops we had our first market' so we lost track!

Augustine 112-113 (CH 2)

Brick's face on the first page continues to send me giggling even after i inked it!

A secret little project

I think I'm gonna try and post a bit more about our merch here but a couple weeks ago we were approached to be a part of PINTOPIA 2 which is a funny little pin bonanza Backerkit's crowdfunding division is hosting over on their platform....

And though every fiber of my being said, 'you have made enough pins, Winter Jay Kiakas, you do NOT need to make more' um....

uhh....

well.... I couldn't resist. I've never been cordially INVITED to participate in something like this before...

Its February Shop Drop & Code Time!

AKA a new merch drop!! (Sorry we didn't get them in time for January's code) BUT HEY NEW TOTE BAGS???? New. Tote. Bags.

Sometimes it seems a bit silly but you'll sit on merch ideas for months/years waiting for the right time, manufacturer/printer, funds to make it happen and tote bags seem so simple, a bunch of other folks have done them already for ages, but idk! It just never quite lined up for us!

BUT HERE WE ARE AND THEY'RE FANTASTIC!!! 

These guys were printed loca...

Augustine 110, 111 (CH 2)

wOOP-- outta the wAY!! Manticore coming through!!

AUGUSTEENIES -- 020: The Boys

..... well that's a bit awkward--

Paint The Town Red Volume 1 Re-inks

I thought I would drop in... actually its a bit funny I seem to always feel the urge to make a post like these come Thursday?? Maybe we'll start giving this segment a funny little name like Thought Process Thursday-- LOL

I think i want to start off by saying that I am... not always the hugest fan when artists choose to go back and redo pages of their comic, it can fall into a vicious cycle where you feel compelled to redo pages over and over until they ~feel right~ while never actually ...

Augustine 108, 109 (CH 2)

And we're BACK baby~ Tas finished these just a few second ago so they're hot off the press as it were!

These pages look..... pretty insane not gonna lie ;v; i'm REALLY excited with how they're all turning out!

AUGUSTEENIES -- 019: Carjacked

Back to a bit more Shenanigans Over Here~

Augustine Inbound!

Just a little update here about Augustine because I know we've been throwing a bunch of new stuff at ya! I've inked about 4 new pages of Augustine so far so Tas just needs to slap colours on them and then we've got our public buffer set!

That being said I think we're going to switch up how we update pages here at least for a little bit until we can really get this buffer going! You'll get 2 pages a week updated every Tuesday instead of our like usual batch of 5. We're a been a bit slowe...

AUGUSTEENIES -- 018.2: How We Met (August & Brick)

And the second parter!

We're having a lot of fun with these so we'll be sprinkling in a couple more backstories going forward hehe~

Next week we're back to a few more Antics~

Deep Dive -- This Year's Projects

I'll probably be making a few of these over the course of the year as it progresses because we like to keep things a bit nebulous until they go officially public but I wanted to kinda skim a bit what we're working on this year (and give myself a bit of a reference point to keep us on task as much as possible).

Here's what we're kinda spitballing for the year now that we're making headway through January and have a better grasp of how quickly we're hopping back into things.

I'm gon...

LP: Issue 1 -- script draft sneek peek

We're trying to be a little bit better about posting WIP work so here's a screenshot of the snip of writing I'm working on for Lab Partners!

This is gonna be our new short comic this year. Which is why this script is extremely scrappy LOL. 

Its going to be posted up to the NSFW tiers for folks interested in that! This one plays a bunch with the mad scientist OCs we've been doodling around for a few years now. We figured hitting a funny little goal on Patreon here would be a n...

AUGUSTEENIES -- 018.1: How We Met (August & Brick)

Coming back strong with a 2-part lore comic about how August & Brick originally met!! Wowee!!

We have pretty much all the backstories about how the group met up. Some of it might be mentioned in Augustine proper but a lot of it is more worldbuilding & helps influence how I write these characters as People in the main comic!

But hey might as well stick that into Augusteenies hehe~

This is part 1! Part 2 will be posted next week~! stay tuned~

Radds & Jax concepts 1

Here we go with some real concepts over here! Tas has been working pretty hard on getting these two characters to fit cohesively (Raddley sometimes reads a biiit to realistic beside Jax who is much squishier and sillier) and has since developed a style for her that works really well!

These Jax doodles are mine (Winter) trying to figure out what a .... nakid bombini might look like LOL. This story IS gonna have some nsfw/erotica in it so there had to be a bit of a balance between floof &...

A little Holiday Post~!

Hey hey folks! Its been a little while! I know December has been pretty quiet on our end (I'm not really sure when I'm going to hit post on this so if its before the holidays-- HAPPY HOLIDAYS-- if its AFTER the holidays-- I hope your holidays were filled with good food, safety and warmth.... that's all we could ever hope for in these tumultuous times).

Everyone's posting retrospectives... both of us have too actually, you can read 2024-01-01 04:27:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Shop Code!

Woops the holidays totally got us! Merry Holidays! From now until the end of January we're giving Patrons 30% off the shop (for forgetting woopsie)

Here's the code for ya!

FMEM6JGT

Thanks so much everyone!!

Shaker Charms!!

WOwee! A funny little late night update! Remember (many) weeks ago I posted a bit about these guys for a shop update? Well they were stuck in customs for about 3 weeks and we finally just got them today!!!

These things are so cool. I couldn't have planned it better but the acrylic 'shaky' bits almost always line up with the eye holes because the third one props them up. It's really satisfying!!

Sorry this is a lot of excitement for almost midnight over here but I've been holding t...

theMAM -- Hermes, Apollo, Artemis

Last batch for now!

Hermes, out here keeping the same energy up for 9 years. I think I was able to capture his Essence even better in the 2023 version~

(Can we tell in the 2023 versions that my bi-brain and greater appreciation for sexuality and bodies has come out of the woodwork LOL It's made...

theMAM -- Dionysos, Aphrodite, Hephaistos

Starting this off by saying, yes this is still going in the SFW tier even with Aphrodite's tiddies out... i think she's allowed all things considered~ 

Here's some funky lil evolutions for these ones~

Its funny to see that the overall vibe & posing for these two hasn't change TOO much (I haven't really been using my old art as a reference or anything, going at these new versions...

theMAM -- Athena, Ares & Hestia

I actually started this whole redux with Athena hehe though I really like my work on Ares in this group!

As mentioned last time. I figured I'd show off a bit of their older versions side-by side! Why not!

Most of the 2014 artwork was kept the same save for a couple tweaks in 2018 when I was get...

AUGUSTEENIES -- 017: Bedtime

Oh Heti....

(this will probably be the last Augusteenies posted publically of the year which means our output here is gonna slow down a little bit due to The Holidays approaching-- gosh is it really already the end of November???? wild).

PTTR 327-340 (V3)

And that's a wrap for Volume 3 folks~!

We're gonna be taking a bit of a break before we hop into Volume 4 which means it'll be some time before we have any updates on this one.

We're hoping to allow Tas a bit of wiggle to get another chapter of sancirc out of the way and build a proper Augustine buffer for chapter 2 so that we're not stuck bottle-necked on 5 different projects all at once again.

HOWEVER--- We're hoping to get a bit more development artwork done of these char...

theMAM -- Zeus & Hera, Poseidon & Demeter

Hey so I did mention a couple times that I've been redoing this book so I thought I would post some of the artwork I've been chipping at! I was going to wait until I had some of the text sorted and situated but I'm sure I might tweak these a little by the time I get to that part anyway! I'm still deciding how Detailed I want to be with the text and if I want to keep any of the old way I was doing it! I'd like to finish up the book for 2024 since it'll be its 10 year anniversary! YeeSH.

...

AUGUSTEENIES -- 016: Leadhoof

Even Brick has his insane moments--

hell yeah Augustine/Augusteenies double feature Friday~!!!

Augustine 105-107 (Ch 2)

And thIISS is where we're gonna be leaving our webcomic off for the holidays (at least publically). The webcomic itself comes back January 30th!

However on HERE.... you'll probably be getting pages again starting the beginning of January as we start rebuilding our buffer for this guy! We slipped a bit this year but thats just the way it goes when you get too close to the holidays! A bunch of personal life stuff comes around and you've gotta do some Adult Things (renew medicare cards and...

November Shop Code & Updates!

Oh gosh folks! Time's just flying!

Here's the code for 25% off on our online shop for anyone interested! SE92JAB7

We've just recently stocked up on a couple interesting things.... (see above~)

We're also just waiting on the stock of my new shaker charm to come in!

I'm SUPER excited for these to come in I'll be sure to show them off here when they do. Even these items are part...

Raddley (the Farewell Tour)

Here's our second protagonist of the story! Raddley! Most of these images are by Tas and a few of these are a bit mixed in with her Starfinder persona before we redesigned her for this story (we're still working on both their final designs atm)! Trying to toe the line between something a liiittle bit less complicated than her tabletop designs (which was only gonna be drawn here and there) vs a design we'll have to draw many times over in a comic form haha!

LONG STORY ...
