Goats Original Art Auction: Diablo the Chicken Action Figure Production Sketches + Signed Action Figure

Today's Goats memorabilia auction is for the original sketches I created for the Diablo the Chicken action figure! Produced with the assistance of legendary toy designed Andrew Bell, these figures came with a bunch of very weird accessories and these two pages give a glimpse into the creative pro...

Goats Original Art Auction: Feces Penis Butter Cups + Original JPBC Banned T-shirt

Hey all! I'm going to be putting a number of big-ticket items from the vault up for sale on eBay over the next few weeks in expectation of some medical expenses. I wanted to give patrons first shot at it! 

The first auction is for the original art from one of my most controversial earl...

Personal Update: Finger Surgery

Hey all! Just wanted to make sure y'all knew I was still alive. I had finger surgery on my drawing hand last week, to remove something called a glomus tumor. It's not malignant, everything's fine, it was just super-painful and had to go. 

Recovery is coming along, although not as quick...

SFAM Book 4 Final Cover Preview

This is the finished illustration with finished logos and some placeholders for the ISBN and blurb bar at the top. Next, Amy will take this and slice it up for a real print-ready layout with a spine down the middle and that sort of jazz. In the meantime I'll be collating the metadata for interior...

SFAM Book 4 Cover Preview 3: The Continuening

I'm still working on this! I have to take a break to do "child care" (whatever that is) and will be back at it later tonight!

SFAM Book 4 Cover Preview 2: The Progressening

I'm still heads-down working on the newest SFAM compilation, Operation Porcine Thunder! Here's another preview of the cover, I think I've cracked how the colors are going to work and will continue in this direction until it fails and I have to backtrack and lose several days. Whee!

Again, k...

SFAM Book 4 Cover Preview

Sorry for the lack of posts but I've been heads-down working on the newest SFAM compilation, Operation Porcine Thunder! I thought you might like a preview of the cover, this is a screen capture of the inks about 97% of the way through. After this it's colors and then interior stuff and then hopef...

Dungeon Divers Page 17 Redraw

Woohoo! More page! I added a dungeon centipede. Check it out!

The original:

Dungeon Divers Page 16 Redraw

Here's another one! It's a page! The biggest changes here were the addition of the golem in the foreground of panel 3, the angle of the head in the final panel, and some lighting choices. 

And...

Dungeon Divers Page 15 Redraw

I ended up redrawing a lot more of this that I had originally intended to but I didn't feel the need to make any huge changes to the storyboard/layout, so I'm calling that a win. Things are headed in the right direction, at least.

Dungeon Divers Page 14 Redraw

This is the first page I've worked on during this project that wasn't redrawn completely from scratch. A lot of it is new, the characters are completely redrawn, but I tried to save as much of the environment inks as I could. 

This was a bit of a process and I took my time with it, try...

New page! Dungeon Divers Page 13

This one has no "before" image, because there is no before image. A whole new story beat! Some sinister stuff going down here, for sure. 

This is a transition point in the story, and far enoug...

Dungeon Divers Page 12b Redraw

Here it is! Page 12b! It's a bit of a glow-up for what was half a panel before. Took forever but I hope you'll agree that it was worth the wait.

Dungeon Divers Page 12a Redraw

I'm back from vacation with a new redrawn page! I've split 12 into two pages, this is the first, and the final line of dialogue gets broken out into its own full page spread next. Then, a BRAND NEW PAGE! Never seen before. I'm adding a beat to the story to play with later. You'll see. Hang around...

Dungeon Divers Page 11 Redraw

Page 11! Enjoy! I'm on vacation for the rest of this week but I'll be back at work next week. Thanks so much for your support during this project!

Dungeon Divers Page 9b Redraw

Here's the full-page treatment for that fifth panel from last time. Sorry for the slow rate of progress, between COVID and hospital visits for stab wounds incurred by jagged glass, it has been a busy couple of weeks. More soon.

Dungeon Divers Page 9a Redraw

And we're back with new page redraws! Page nine is getting split into two pages, with the fifth panel getting its own full-page treatment for the reveal. 

Here's the original page:

Commissions Done, What's Next?

So I finally finished all the avatar commissions, thank you for all of you who commissioned one! Now that that's out of the way I intend to get back to the Dungeon Divers redraw, there's still a few complete page redraws to do and then it's touch-ups for the next 80 or 90 pages. ...

Tier Revamp Update: Let's Do This

Early polls are STRONGLY in favor of the tier system simplification.  Let's give it a whirl and see how things go, nothing is permanent if we don't like it. Hopefully none of you will notice a thing except that you'll all have access to everything I post here without exception at you...
