VINTAGE CON SKETCHES: S'more DIRTY PAIR illos of yore

As I clear out the last few Vintage Con Sketches from various folders on my wheezing old PC, I see a bunch of miscellaneous Dirty Pair pieces that I suspect I might have previously posted on this here Patreon—but if I did so, that was months or possibly even years ago. My (admittedly insincere) apologies in advance for any reposting of these images, as my archive of Patreon posts is too vast and sprawling to easily check through in a timely manner on my crappy DSL connection.

Speaking of "a timely fashion," I've now burnt through most of the easily accessible files on my PC and various backup hard drives; I still have plenty of older material I can mine for future Patreon posts, but most of that will require tediously time-consuming unearthing, organizing, and (ughh) scanning, which is a bit of a challenge when I need to sink a helluva lot more time into finishing Empowered vol.12.

So, going forward, I'm looking into switching to a Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday posting schedule every week (with bonus posts on Tuesdays or Thursdays when possible), rather than taking off the third week of the month from posting as I've been doing. I'm hoping that getting away from the pressure and stress of daily Patreon posts (even as said posts grow ever more time-consuming to crank out) will help me regulate my precious worktime a bit better.

Howeva, with a revised "M/W/F+" posting format, I'll likely have to ditch the fixed daily format I've been using, probably meaning that Design or Vintage Con Sketches or Distressed Damsels or Work Stages posts could appear on any given day of the week, rather than the set weekly schedule I was using. (And, well, you'll need to be at the $5 tier or higher to get the full M/W/F experience every week, I'm afraid.)

That said, the first August post will likely still be a Life Drawing dealie, as I have a bunch of those already scheduled; after that, though, who knows what might appear next?

BTW, here are some possibilities I'm looking into for new post subjects in August and beyond:

*My original pitch from 2000 for taking over writing of the Gen13 regular series;

*A heretofore unposted Twitter-format essay detailing my artistic development and skill progression after my initial exposure to manga at the Kubert School circa the late 80s;

*My insanely detailed layout pages from the 2004 miniseries Livewires;

*My likewise insanely detailed layout pages from 2005's Iron Man: Hypervelocity;

*and the final full-length, likewise insanely detailed "Rose and Lily" commissioned DiD comic from the early 2000s, despite a rather problematic content issue midway through the story.

I'll also be putting up a poll post before long to see if there are any older types of posts you'd like to see again (I Am Empowered, story notes for Empowered/ Dirty Pair/Gen13/etc, and so on).

SATURDAY ON THIS HERE PATREON: Big Spenders of the $10 & $20 tiers, stand by for July's exclusive bonus post, which this time around will boast the rest of the "Domme Emp" sequence from Empowered vol.12, featuring not only Ocelotina enthusiastically subbing but also a strong hint re: the structure of the volume as a whole. Golly!
