Chapter 4 done! Thanks to all of you who stuck by and supported us - it'd a bit longer to get out if we hadn't hit that 5 pages a month goal. But with that, we'll still be going on a 4 to 6 week break with guest art and hopefully special extras for patrons planned in the meantime. I'm also gonna tak...

And here's the finished version of this page. Sorry I'm late with it! Jetlag's been one hell of a trip.
I got to look at many cute St Bernards for this page so I'm happy. Having said that, drawing dogs is still hella complicated and I'll have to get some more practice in soon.
In other news,...

Finally back from Japan and getting used to timezones. And drawing. Sorry I left you all on this horrible cliffhanger for so long! I'll try to finish this page later today, in the meantime, here's the inks I did on stream just now.

That's right, for once I have an early page for patrons. Only took me the entire chapter.
One of our readers asked me when we're going to see the bit from the Chapter 4 teaser I made back in April. Well, here...

This one's by Lauren Halvorson aka Fishmas who did an amazing job at portraying Dan's glitchy self!

Finally, here's the page I've been wanting to do for a long time. I think I even managed to do it justice this time. This page was all about acting with Io leaving me cues like "some complicated mixture of disappointment and resignation " so I spent a lot of time getting that right. Panel 6 to...

I feel like it's been a while since I've posted any wips on here - especially since I tend to finish a page right before it's due. But, this time I got my pencils done a bit earlier, so here they are. D&W continues to ramp up The Feels.
We've got 5 pages left including this one and I'm running...

Sadness montage! My favourite.
If the first panel looks familiar to you, that's because it is:
Now, I generally don't reuse drawings. I think doing that can cheapen a comic and make it look too arti...

Yay, wonky traditional art! ..can you put together a phrase out of those fridge letters?
I'm hoping to start doing more extra D&W art again once the current batch of BPA is out of the way. Still never got around to finishing that $400 extra, but truth to be told I've been having a hard time co...

Last week we had two types of comments: "Yay, Dan's getting clean" and "I don't believe you guys for a second". Now you know which one has won.
Io actually apologised in the script for making me draw Dan smiling. In the end I decided not to shy away for drawing him all smiley and goofy looki...

I was so happy to finally rid Dan of his facial hair i managed to finish this page in one sitting - though I'm sure future me will regret it tomor- later today, actually. Ah well.

Aaand that's a wrap on the school scene. If you didn't hate Vitaly's guts already (like most of our readers seem to), this might convince you :D

So I've done probably a 7-8 hour long stream of just inks/colours just now and the page is done, but gosh am I wiped. Sadly I don't know when I'll be able to get ahead to make early pages for patrons, hell, I don't even know if I'll manage to get the regular amount of pages done seeing how I'm juggl...

You'd think Eve witnessing Dan's current state was bad enough, but as people have already mentioned, we always find new creative ways of humiliating our protagonist.
Other than that, I'm happy to finally draw Nate again - in his schoolboy attire nonetheless. It's actually quite uncommon for ...

2017-08-31 18:47:38 +0000 UTC View PostCan we even call this a deleted scene? Well, guess we're going to live adventurously today.
Anyways, when Claire and I officially decided to go at it as a team back in '15, one of the first priorities from my end was to get a good handle on her very particular brand of cyberpunk. It seemed a...

So this is kind of what I meant when I said I was doing prep for the upcoming scene. I would normally save it for after the scene's been complete, but I feel bad I haven't been providing early updates so here's a SNEAK PEAK at least.
Io went through multiple ideas of how to visualise MHF's...
So this page came a little late for which I apologise! Partially it's because I've been doing some serious prep for the upcoming scene at Synacon - because yes, we're finally getting back to those guys. Can't wait to share it with you!
But in the meantime we have Dan's life winning...
Just noticed we've reached $400 and I'm super excited. Thank you so much for your support - i know it's early to say with Patreon's numbers constantly fluctuation for no reason, and people pulling out/declining, however if we don't dip below $400 at the end of the month, I'll draw an extra illustrat...

That feeling when you're stuck in 1975 without a smartphone, your children are being little shits and your nanny's running late.

This was one of the script bits I originally wrote and thumbnailed myself! In the original the argument gets a little more aggressive, but after Io's rewrites we ended up with something more fitting and open-ended, leaving people guessing.
It was nice to draw some comedic faces on Eve for a ...

I was hoping to get this page for patrons sooner, but it took surprisingly a lot of time to complete!

Dan manages to dodge therapy by bringing up their favourite writer/visionary/consort of darkness.
That flashback panel gave me a lot of trouble as I couldn't find the reference I needed, but I think I just about managed in the end.

I kind of messed up the upper panel by drawing Eve on the right even though she spoke first, so in the end I had to cross over the speech bubbles which I think is a no-no in comics. (then again, there's also a rule about keeping characters on thei...
