Jojo weaves in and out of the panel borders to find a friendly hand in the abyss. ♥
One more short page after this in Chapter 1! I'm really looking forward to diving into the meat of the story in Ch2, now that the story and its direction is set up! I've got the things I'm excited for - wh...

Sylvia's inevitable scar is the conversation politely not had on this page. There's mourning in that, too.
A little creepy crawly hiding in the closet has come to offer some comfort. ♥

We're coming up on the end of the chapter very shortly (25 pages with maybe some splash art for the 26th), with one final small cameo arriving on the next page. ♥
Here's that bottom left panel without the dialog! Looking forward to doing more flashbacks like this as we go, too!
The hovertext for this one is:

To those it applies to, we wish you and your pets a very quiet, firework-free weekend ♥ We wish a lovely weekend to everyone just the same, though!

Here's a little dash of more introduction! Most of this will come up in the comic in the next chapter, but none of it is spoilers so much as it is the slowness of webcomics to deliver major exposition in such a small amount of real estate. ♥ As I write this up here, I'll start adapting it for t...

Roger absolutely stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to make sure he heard from his baby girl.
Coincidentally, we stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to queue this page, too! But look at us, going to bed before 2AM, and a full 8 hours before the page goes live! \o/
There are so many new scenes in this chapter (of course), which includes sooo many maps. Previously it was designing the main street of town, which we saw earlier in the chapter— and now, these last few pages have prompted mapping out their new house.
I thought it might be fun to share th...

Happy belated Father's day!
We've begun building backlog, and that starts out as sketching out the rest of the chapter, then inking, then having multiple pages to batch upload. In the meantime, we make sure to still get a fully completed page up on update days. even if we haven't started in...

It'll be interesting to candidly share how far along we are in buffer-building in real time, now that we're back. I think we've learned a lot in the last few months (under just a wee bit of pressure) about how to work more efficiently, so I'm optimistic about building a buffer more effectively th...

Hey lovelies! It's been a minute, huh?
I'm queuing this page up literally minutes after it's finished - and that's a nostalgic feeling, let me tell you. I can't tell you how many TOY pages were added to the queue with the "posting in 4 hours" notification, and here we are again. Friday's pa...

Here's another page of LIFT for you, lovelies. Keeping a buffer alongside the omnibus is tough, but just wait until we're not splitting ourselves in two! It's only a few more updates until we'll be finished at this point, too! Maybe we can even do more updates a week... ♥

These pages continue to remind me how much I hate moving. Hope you're doing well, friends ♥ We're tired but happy over here, just getting through the work and lots of pages!

Woof, this one took a while - both from backgrounds and from being sandwiched between a couple major deadlines. We'd like to get another couple pages of LIFT done this week now that we have a little more breathing room. Here's this for now; some more Elijah. ♥

It's such a treat to make pages for LIFT! We're making these pages alongside working on the TOY omnibus, and while both are very satisfying to work on, there's just something about telling a brand new story that really sparks joy. ♥

Hey, Owena here this week! I'm really happy with how this page turned out! I'm glad for Sylvia's personality to start to unfold as she gets a chance to really speak, and I'm looking forward to all of us (me included) getting to know her better as an adult person.
It's been a looong...

This page was a lot of fun to work on and something I've been looking forward to making. Fun is a weird word to use there, because the word fun implies more lightheartedness than the content allows. When I say fun I mean this is probably the most creative flexibility I've had making comics in a l...

Usually I'd include the alt text here, but we haven't had any alt text yet for LIFT. We're still very interested in doing it, but these early pages felt out of place for it as we started posting to patreon. We might add some as it goes live on the website, which we're now setting up for a launch ...
