Well it's not great, but I can't afford to waste anymore time fighting against my limitations, so here's the pencils for #1195. I'll be moving onto doing inks today and (unless I botch the ink job pretty bad) will have them up in a day or two. Then it'll be onto colours, y'all know the process. I...

Behold, the sole efforts of an entire week of shoddy cartooning. Not pictured: The multitude of failed attempts at these same two panels littering my floor. I've got more work I want done to the pencils, including Blackstone in panel 1 and 2 and hopefully a third panel before I go onto inks.

This one was a doozy but I think it came out relatively decent, even if it's nowhere near what I wish I were capable of. I'm trying a lot harder with these newer strips. I used to prioritize speed over quality but somehow I've gotten less tolerant of my own failures. Sometimes I feel like I shoul...

Sorry again for how long this one has been taking. Expect the colours/texted version Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for the support and encouragement everyone. Y'all keep me going. Love y'all.

Sorry this one took so long. My art block hasn't lifted and drawing stuff that used to come easily has become this uphill struggle. I spent a long time trying to get panel 1 to look right and in the end I wound up cutting more than half of it because it just looked wrong once I got it compiled. I...

This took faaaaaaaar too long. Not just because of the week of art block that preceded it, but because of the difficulty of arranging multiple figures into a single panel. My methods are outdated as hell and when I need an establishing panel like the third one it becomes a grindfest. The next cou...

The inks were far more difficult than I expected. Panel 3 was a nightmare. Panel 1 was just raw frustration. I am going to get some sleep now, wake up and colour this thing. See y'all in a day or so with the final version~ Love y'all~

Let it be known that this is not the strip I wanted, it's the strip I had to settle for. Art block set in pretty hard after 1192 and I've spent every day after struggling against it. People on the Discord have heard me ranting and raving for at least the past week. Either way, I finally produced ...

Just giving an update. This is what failing looks like. Well, that and a floor/garbage bin filled with crumpled up, torn-up failed attempts at panels. I can't produce what I want for this strip and it's driving me freakin' nuts. I'm only posting this so y'all can see that I'm still at it. Fingers...
2021-11-28 13:15:50 +0000 UTC View PostHaving another rough time at it with this strip. I'm working on it and apologize for the lack of a proper update over the last several days.

Ohmygod this strip. If I never see it again it'll be too soon. I don't know *why* this one was so much trouble for me, but it sure as hell was. Anyways, you can safely expect the next update faster than this one. Sorry this one took so long.
I am now going to enjoy several cups of coffee a...
This one has been far more challenging for me than I anticipated. Particularly the last two panels. Not pictured: Me beating my head against the wall in frustration for days on end as I tried to make this look not shitty.
Colours will be up tonight (probably late Saturday night/early Sunda...
Sorry this one took so long to get underway y'all. Had a few health set-backs but they're cleared up now and I'm back at it~ Inking is already underway so expect the B&W in a day or so, with the finalized strip not far behind~
I've included a bonus pair of sketches in this post that sh...
Don't worry, don't worry, I'll explain what the device is as the strip proceeds! I hope you all are enjoying and sorry for running a touch late! Love y'all~ <3

Running a little behind schedule (as usual). But here's the raw inks. I'll have the coloured, texted version up later today (Thursday). Or the wee hours of Friday morning, depending on how much trouble I have with this one.
Until then, let the grinding commence!
Hit a snag with the plot, but thankfully my Discord chat was on hand to help out! Thank you so much for the help y'all~
Inks will be up tomorrow and the finished strip should be up Thursday. Went longer between updates than I wanted for this one but it couldn't be helped. See y'all shortly~
The next strip is already underway. Expect more frequent updates going forward. I intend to pump these things out as fast as I can, nonstop. Also, I'm finally going to do a sequel to Collar(ed)6 that'll update along C6.
Now to get a few hours of shut eye. Thank you for sticking it out with...
Here's the inks. I'll have the colours up by morning. Roughly 12 hours from this posting. I won't be slowing down production anymore. See y'all soon.

Working on inks now. Will try to have this up by tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest.
I'm shifting focus from trying to make overly elaborate panels with full backgrounds and such to my older method of comic production, which was simpler and centered on the characters.
I've g...
And here's the inks. I'll spend today (Monday) working on the colours and it should be up Tuesday morning. I wanted it up yesterday, but I'm always lagging behind my own deadlines. Oi.

Just wanted to update y'all. I figured I'd share the rough pencils of the latest strip (which I finished penciling yesterday and am currently inking). I'll post the inked version when it's finished up and then the final version afterwards. Not sure if y'all like these incremental updates but it m...

Good lord this was a much bigger load of work than I expected. I think I may have to resume some of the older methods I used to work faster. Like panels focusing on a single character and the dreaded talking heads in order to get the talky talky out of the way and then a frame or two focusing on ...

I-'m trying out the downward slide presentation I see in webtoons and honestly I rather like it here. What do y'all think?

Well I've spent the week trying to make this strip work and it's just not. I'm discarding it completely. Y'all already know it's been a shite week, I'm a trainwreck right now and I'm just tired of pushing a boulder uphill. This one is a failure. You can see in the first panel how I tried to save ...

So I said to myself, "Hey, this is just a comic where two people are talking, it won't be a hard one." I will build a time machine, go back to last week and slap the hell out of myself. This strip was a disaster from beginning to end and at the moment, I never want to see it again. At the v...

Firstly, the 'thank you patrons' isn't on the bottom of the strip because it looked kinda wrong to have Rhodonite laid out covered in blood like that with a big THANK YOU below it. I didn't think anyone would appreciate that, so I left it blank this time. Sorry if I made the wrong call there.

Sorry about this everyone, but I've been at it all night and now we have storms making the power flicker and interupting my work. I'm going to move this update to tomorrow morning (Thursday). I'm terribly sorry everyone, this has been a disaster.

And I'm back! Sorry for the shorter strips (next one lands Wednesday followed by another Friday), I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. After a month of being slogged down in my own head, struggling with severe depression and struggling to create anything whatsoever, I'm giving myself ...

So I *greatly* underestimated how much work this little strip was going to take. I wanted to do more with the 'shop' Laura's wishlist is on, but as I was already pressed for time and running way behind, I didn't fancy it up too much. I feel like I lost the impact of the joke in doing that, but at...
