Hey, so this morning I received an email from my printer saying how issue 1 & 2 reprints are going to be more expensive with the new printing process unless I add 4 extra pages for a more efficient sheet distribution. Turns out 32 pages fit on a single sheet perfectly, while 28 have to be spread...

It's been a while since we checked up on Unylsk's most infamous mindtripper 'zine, but it looks like the new management is working out just fine.

Good news, everyone - I'm launching pre-orders for issue 3 to help me with the costs and all our patrons are getting a 20% discount!
Just use the code DWPATRON20 at the checkout - it's active till 14th April. If it doesn't work for whatever reason, let me know! 2017-04-03 13:35:11 +0000 UTC View Post
Many of you want Dan to be happy and healthy in the comments, and here at D&W HQ we're all about reader's feedback. That's why starting next chapter Dan's life is gonna get a whole lot more wholesome and filled with purpose. We're also renaming the comic by removing "Drugs" from the title to mak...

Ok, so these thumbs are so terrible even I can't make out what's going on in half of them. But I'm still working on the story so here's proof at the very least. I've decided I'd rather fight my block and thumbnail it in any way I can then edit later than mak...
Some of you might remember that I had two drafts for the cover of chapter 3. Originally we had a bit of a miscommunication with Io and as a result i picked the one none of us actually wanted! So yeah, now that I'm about to ...

So yeah, this is it. End of chapter 3! I'll be taking a month long comic vacation from now - shorter than our previous breaks...

..Nothing good's gonna come out of this. At some point Io wrote out the return of the flyer out of the script, but I basically kept bugging him until he put it back. I just thought it's a great use of the prop :p
Abyss Cafe hasn't been a thing yet, but it will be eventually! In the meantime,...

You know how a couple years back I posted a D&W shoujo parody cover and everyone was like "Yeaah do more of that!"
Well. I'm drawing these things unironically now. Unless Io comes over to my house and sets my Cintiq on fire, which he totally should do.
But no, I'll probably come up with ...

So, uh, yes, somehow i'm 18 pages in on this thing. It's currently a mixture of Io's existing script and me writing stuff in right into thumbnails and I barely know what I'm doing here. This is probably gonna need a lot of overhauling, but i figured I'd see how far I can get before I give up.

Taking a break from Dan's drug antics this week to this guy making an appearance. Since this character is one of the most spoilerific things in the comic, there isn't much I can tell you about him. Sorry!
This page was pretty straightforward. Though I made it over my first stream with a mic and ca...

That's right, I'm gonna spoil you a bit. Real, non-Ghostly Eve's coming back and, well, she's gone through a bit of a makeover. I don't even know what inspired that look other than she reminds me of my primary school teacher, but if anyone from the Dreamspace crew had to mature out of their goth &nb...

Our heroin adventure ends here. Took a bit of an artistic licence when portraying the trip, so hopefully we won't have people coming in saying "ummm actualy it's not heroin", like we do with all the technical aspects :P Should be fine, though.
The original page was planned as an extra ...

Welp, not much to say here, but Dan seems to have gotten what he came there for. I was contemplating adding some animation, but it was a bit too late in the game. Might still do some for the next page, though! Speaking of next page, if you don't mind spoilers,2017-02-06 00:27:51 +0000 UTC View Post
And it's done. I don't have many warm colour schemes in this comic so i kind of went full orange with this. ...the final panel came out mildly suggestive which led to people cracking terrible jokes the entire stream :p Can't wait for comments. Sigh :D
Hey, here's the page I'm gonna be wrapping up tonight!
I guess now's a good time to show how this scene came together, because to this day this is probably the most iterations we've gone through. I'm sure Io's gonna post his script drafts later, but in the meantime here are some layouts of m...

So I can't put up our preliminary drafts for this week just yet because spoilers, but there was quite a few. Like we actually didn't know what the next scene was gonna be until 2 days before posting (mostly due to me constantly butting into Io's process with Opinions).
I kind of really...

Ah yes, the montage page. Due to our pacing and tons of things happening in the comic we didn't get to get Dan hooked on the stuff properly. Hard to believe it, but since the start of the comic, the story's only moved by like 3 days. Anyway, some future events required that Dan develops a habit, so ...

Back from the break with an actual update, at last :) Dan having a bit of a meltdown after 5 pages spent in Fixer's chair. Can't blame him too much.
This was fun to do. I was worried about panel 3 and tried to find a good ref, but it seems that extreme poses are actually easier for me than subtle ...

Seeing how we seem to have lost 3 or 4 patrons after posting the last strip, I should have probably learned my lesson, but hey, I promised part 2 so here it is.
I'm not entirely sure why I keep insisting on writing SIM a bit on the murdery side, but hey, at least it's kind of consistent.

Kind of a sequel to last year's NYE extra . Dan clearly hasn't learned his lesson. I've got another strip in the making where Lin returns the favour which I'll try to wrap up tomorrow!
In the meantime, h...

Managed to finish this up before going away for Christmas, which means patrons actually get a page early for once \o/
This one seemed to have gone fairly smoothly considering I've done it over work days. Lack of backgrounds might have something to do with it.

Layouts remain to be the trickiest part of the process. Here's the current page and two upcoming ones. I'm leaving to see my family for Christmas/New Year, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish those on time, however ideally I'd really like to wrap up the Fixer shop scene before we go on h...

Our longest, most decompressed scene to this day continues. Next update is the last one we spend in Fixer's shop and I can't wait to get the hell out of there. Seems like Dan shares my feelings on this. Still, next page is pretty important so I better nail it.
I had some issues saving out the fina...

So seeing how I'll be freelancing next year and might actually try harder to make this comic work (if I'm not buried under work for hire stuff), I decided to dig up a side comic me and Io started and do a bit more drawing (and a bit of writing) on it. Can't reveal much plot-wise yet other than it wi...
