So this is an interesting week for minis. I've got two more to share with you today, which means I'm up to minicomic #098 now, which means I have two more to go to get to my planned 100 minis. I'm actually a bit nervous about hitting #100 because these minis have been fun and people h...

Hello again! This week I made a bit more progress on this page. I'm still bogged down with critical do-or-die work on my gamedev job which I am looking to wrap up before the end of this month so apologies for the slow progress on this page. I've got a minicomic update to share t...

Hello again! This week's minicomics batch is a bit of an odd one for reasons you may soon come to understand. I've got two strips today, although it's more one-and-a-half strips, but it's basically two so you should still have a satisfying read today. We're getting down to our f...

Hello again! I apologize for not having an update last week, but today I hope to show you why that was the case. I'd mentioned in the previous partial update that I needed to cram a lot of Stuff onto this page to keep from having to spill onto another page and I think the solution I a...

Hello again! This has been a bit of a busy week for me, needing to focus on my gamedev day job work means I haven't made as much progress on the main comic as I'd like. I'll have a more substantial progress shot for next Friday, but for now I did manage to get two new minicomics drawn in be...

I've been juggling a lot of gamedev tasks throughout July so I haven't been able to keep up with making more minis as much as I'd like, but thankfully that's what the buffer was there for. We're down to about a two week buffer now, but the end goal of 100 minis is in sight so I should be ab...

Today I've got a bit of an interesting page to share. Normally I try to share a sketch phase when it's more or less complete, but given that this is a short week and I have some interesting design problems to solve, I thought I'd share the in-progress shot and talk through my process in how...

Hello again! I've got a textless page to share with you real quick. I'd like to get it lettered and loaded so I'll be thrifty with my posting.
I gotta tell you, I'd dreaded painting that first panel for a while and it turned out to be as bad as I thought. It took me a whole day ...

Hello hello! This has been quite a busy week for me, I'd been given an all-access pass to GDC online this week courtesy of Pixelles Montreal so I've been taking in as much information as possible. I've gotten some comic work done but a lot of this week was given to pursuing game devel...

So while juggling other things this week I managed to get another minicomic finished, meaning this will be a one-mini update. I can talk a bit about my plans for the minis to help make it more of a substantial update, though, so I'll start out with that.
I'd mentioned before but my pl...

Hello! Last week I'd started working on this new page but I didn't get enough done to share with you yet, so this week I have a lot more of the comic done and have moved through the sketch phase into the inked and ready to paint phase. There is a fair bit to post about, though, so I'l...

Hello! It honestly feels like it's been a full week since my last update but it's currently the 9th and according to the timestamps I put up a new page on the 4th, so this makes sense. I decided to spend this week making minicomics, since I'd been deprioritizing them to do other thing...

Hello again! I got a textless page finished and ready for you to read tonight. I'll be quick with this one since its only 3am and I'd like to get it wrapped and posted without ruining my bedtime.
Normally when I draw pages I go out of my way not to copypaste anything, I feel it ...

Hello again! This has been a bit of a toasty week so I hope you've gotten through it alright. I made a bit of progress on both the main comic and I got a whole bunch of game art colorized as well. This will probably be the last Friday update for this comic page, sinc...

This week I wanted to fit a proper amount of minicomics into my schedule, so I got two of them done around my other work. I'm creeping up on the end of this run, I figure right around 90 is when I'm gonna pull out my ender ideas. In the meantime, here's this week's batch of strips: 2021-06-26 00:05:33 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello! I've got a good bit of work to share this week! Most of it was gamedev work, though, so I'm a bit light in the pockets on main comic progress to compensate. I've hit a big gamedev goal, though, so I can put more focus on this page for this coming week. For now, thou...

Okay so! I'm slowly making my way to 100 minicomics, and this week I have one to share but I think it's a really funny one so it should carry the value of two or three other minis. I put some time into making a major advance in my gamedev work which I will me writing about shortly. &n...

Hello again! Thank you for your patience with last week's report, I've had a fairly busy weekend but I got a couple things accomplished for today that I'm happy to share with you. I should have three articles in total today: one for the main comic, one for minicomics and one for some ...
2021-06-19 00:38:28 +0000 UTC View PostHello! This week was a partial update week, with the new comic page going up the other day. I ended up having an important family obligation this weekend, and I needed to cram some commission artwork in before I become unavailable later tonight, so I regret I haven't had time to make anythi...

Hello! I've got a textless page prepared for you. It's almost 4am so I am gonna keep this one brief, but this is the first fully-painted non-Photoshop page from the whole comic! Very nice!
I think I really underestimated the backgrounds on this page coming into it. In othe...

I've said before but I'm targeting 100 minicomic before I can settle down with this side project and call that Season One or similar. I've got a couple more jokes up my sleeve but I also have some other projects I need to focus on, so as we get closer to the 90 range we're coming up on the ...

Hello again! This week I started work on painting the page, getting used to the new toolset. I think working in Clip Studio Paint can end up making my art look a bit more fluid than it did in Photoshop, which I'm excited about. I also think I can get this page finished by Monday...

Since I got my new computer built and running I figured the best way to ease into working on it would be to make some minis. These are easy to do and use Clip Studio Paint, so it was a good way to get all my settings calibrated. I don't remember exactly what all my tablet shortcuts we...

Hello again! So this week's update is kind of exciting, but this is the first update of a main comic page that hasn't been done in Photoshop. Last Saturday I put together, Sunday I enjoyed my birthday, and Monday I got an adapter to plug my 11-year-old tablet into the new GPU. A...

Hello again, long time no see! Since I put up the last comic Wednesday night into Thursday morning, I got about 80% of the sketch phase done, which is a bit rougher than I usually like to share, but these partial-phase posts are nice to kinda reveal how I tend to block things in. For ...

Hello! I got this page painted and ready to go before this week is up. I'm doing up the lettering to get it online quick so I'll keep the post short.
One of the details I want to try to convey during the lettering phase of this comic is the background music playing in the backgr...

Hello again! This weekend I spent a bit of time laying down not doing anything, but I also spent the rest of the week working on small tasks and minicomics; I'll have more main-comic progress this week now that I'm through the vaccine hangover, but for now I've got a couple little strips to...

So I got some more minis done this week. I was hoping to get a bit more done but I started an idea that involved drawing a lot of characters per-panel and I didn't quite get it there in time, so today I got two for you, they're both fairly goofy so I hope you enjoy.

Oh hello, it's me again. I've got the textless page up a bit faster than I thought I would.
When I give characters their red effect, I like to make sure there's a white detail as well. Monday was the first character to have this with his white glasses reflections, and then I add...
