Kickstarter wallpaper + Random bits

For those who don't follow us on our Discord's #patreon channel, i figured I might make a post with everything I haven't posted on here yet.

First up is a wallpaper i'm thinking of putting on these floppies I've been working on as part of our future kickstarter. We'll also have some other stuff on...

Volume 1 Cover(s)

For a long time I couldn't quite figure out what I want on the cover of volume 1, but a few days ago I finally got an idea that gets across what our comic is about pretty well - and the answer to that was a double cover. Initially i thought of like, actually having a hole in the main cover, but that...

Guess we really should move the update to Tuedays. Or even wednesdays?...

Drugs & Wires sticker pack design + Guest art sneak peak!

I spent the past few days designing some stickers for MCM/upcoming kickstarter! I've been documenting the process excessively on our patreon-only discord channel, so do have a look if you can. Just sent these into print and I really hope i didn't mess it up too badly. There's quite a few technical l...

Heyyy, I'm slightly less late this time around. Maybe I'll even gather the energy to draw on Saturdays again.

I've been looking forward to  making that weather even less hospitable to Troy. I've also been looking forward to drawing Dan making a rude gesture and getting away with it, thanks to...

The bad news is that our comic's schedule is still all over the place, the good news is that...it's still coming out? And our patrons are getting convenient reminders about it at the very least? Really hoping I can get back on track soon. I am not having much luck with weekends lately,

Anyway, thi...

oh, Vlad. Thought you could get out this easily?

I always have tons of fun drawing this guy. Hope he stays intact for a little while longer. Drawing Filosof slowly losing his cool was fun too - and for some reason I just couldn't help myself and referenced his pose in #6 off my favourite prosecuto...

R.U. A Cyberpunk??

Some time ago I was going through a bunch of old ideas/scripts Io collected from our old conversations and found this spoof he was working on. I think any cyberpunk fan has seen2018-04-03 01:36:47 +0000 UTC View Post

Some D&W pages are more decompressed than others and this is definitely one of them - but fear not, for next one is gonna make up for it! 

I'm still figuring out how to draw dogs and this bulldog's mouth has definitely been a challenge-finding a good reference has been quite difficult so ...

Early Setting Notes

Since we're celebrating our third anniversary this month, I thought it might be fun to brush the dust off some of the very, very earliest concepts for D&W.

Starting the planning process, we were very much in unmapped territory. Mary's standalone comics hinted at a grungy near-future c...

I've barely managed to get this page done on time, so i think for the time being double updates might not be a thing. Sorry about that! As soon as I'm done preparing stuff for the book and getting used to my new job, I'll do my best to do those again.

First page completed since me starting a full-time job again - as such, sorry for the slight delay! I do hope my new schedule won't affect D&W too much. Last week I've been spending every evening after work prepping pages for future kickstarter, so things are moving! I've also done some more pen...

Can you tell i'm running out of interesting ways to frame this convo? I should probably get back to this whole background drawing business at some point. I am trying to pay more attention to body language though.

Terribly sorry about the late update, or rather, a missed update at this point. I do have this week's page in the works, but it's still gonna take a few days. Hope I can catch up soon. I got stranded in Ireland for longer than I'd hoped due to snow, so I tried to do as much of this page as I could o...

Dan got *told*. 

This page was an easy one thanks to my mildly lazy talking heads layout, but hopefully the ALL THE DOGS panel compensates for it.

I really want to name the shiba pupper Satoshi.

Extra page is late this week due to me being a bit under the weather, but I managed to get it done..just before starting work on the Monday's page. Webcomics, amirite?

Hope you like exposition, because Sandman has it. 

But, considering the worm's been a total mystery for 4 chapters, I think it's about time we started getting into it.

Height chart: Dreamspace ops

Something I've been meaning to do since before the comic even began - and it's a shame I never got around to it, since I learned a lot about how I've been drawing things wrong. Like, Lin is very short, but how *quite* as short and giant-headed as I tend to draw her. And I tend to draw Dan so lanky, ...

We finally get back to Nate - and his room. God, that took me forever to ink. All those poster. Hopefully it does tell you a little bit about the character, though, especially with how little screen time he's been getting.

Getting back into drawing D&W is never easy, especially after working on some work for hire stuff. Every chapter I pray that we finally streamline the way we work on the pages and every time we just kind of wing it and suffer through. Or at least, I wing it because by the time I get to drawing a...

Chapter 5 Cover (no logo version)

Yes! D&W's finally coming back. As always, making a chapter cover was a bit tricky and, should chapter 5 get published as an issue, there's a good chance i'll redo it.

Originally I had some vague ideas for both Sandman and Troy, but after asking Discord patrons on what they'd like to see, Sand...

Patreon Fees

Hey, patrons - as most of you might have heard by now, Patreon will be changing the way it's charging patrons soon, adding the processing fees on top of pledges rather than having them come out of creator's earnings at the end of the month:
