Atari's on a roll today! Consider this an "advanced preview" of the page a couple weeks after c4p4 gets uploaded... unless we somehow get a bunch of new people on Patreon who wanna be generous and get us back to making 4 pages again. >>
Anyway, see? Now THIS is the reaction Simon was suppose...

Oh snap, you're getting not one, not two, but THREE uploads today! Halloween (and Lydia's birthday tomorrow) is indeed gonna be special this year. ;)
Sam knew he was gonna have to draw out the big guns, so he's getting 'em cocked right here.... though in the form of his laptop. If his laptop actua...

Sorry for the delay; Atari had some computer problems that needed to be fixed, but he just sent me this page a few minutes ago (there's no WIPs for it this time, but I'm just glad we'll have this page finished on time this week. X_X )
Anyway, there's really only 3 problems I have with the page bef...
2016-10-25 00:58:31 +0000 UTC View PostIf you haven't checked it out yet, go ahead and do so! It's nothing big; just the color of the floor being corrected on the last panel, but I did want to give everyone a heads up when the page was fixed, and therefore finished. :)
2016-10-13 00:22:20 +0000 UTC View Post
The flooring is now the right color, so the page is finally done!
2016-10-11 00:25:20 +0000 UTC View Post
So, there's really only one change that needs to be made, and it's on the bottom panel: the white void looks really weird, and needs to have the wood flooring from the earlier panels. Other than that, the page looks fine. :)
Also, I wrote to Atari about possibly making a mini-comic about the Patre...

So, I've been getting into Phantasy Star Online 2 at the moment; it's a love-hate relationship because I'm forced to play episode 4, which doesn't have any translations, and it won't let me unlock the previous episodes that HAVE been translated until I get far enough... :/
The final version should...

Here are some more refined sketches, as well as the middle two panels being inked. Atari tells me that it should be ready by Saturday, so here's what I'm gonna do: I will not upload the final version of the page to the public until the next friday (so, on the 14th); this way, we'll be on pace with t...

Sorry this took so long. X_X
Hopefully, since Atari and I are now both back on vacation, our schedule will be back to normal.
As you might have read on the last post, I've basically said that we only have enough money for 2 pages next month; it's not what neither you nor I want, but as...
2016-09-27 09:27:06 +0000 UTC View PostSo, Ataribetch emailed back to me, and he is now back and ready to continue the comic! However, with that said, I should get the elephant in the room out of the way: You might have seen that I added a new $120 goal to the Patreon, where if/when we reach it, we will be back to 4 pages a month. As I m...
2016-09-25 22:39:23 +0000 UTC View PostFinally back in the land of dry air and the true, canon Pacific time zone. :P
I noticed that the Patreon went down while I was gone; while this wasn't the news I wanted to see when I got back, I'm sure that there will be ways to spread word about this comic and the Patreon to help us get back in t...

Hello from Miami!
SOrry it took a while for an update to be posted, but I hadn't heard back from Atari while I was on the ship, which was both a good AND bad thing; the internet on the ship was weird; if you were inactive for 10 minutes, it would automatically log you out and you'd have to log bac...

Now we're talkin'!
I won't lie, I will most definitely have to upload this to the public later, before I have to leave for the airport, but as I've mentioned earlier, any pages I receive while I'm gone will be exclusive for you all until I get back. :P
I can already see who's leading the cov...

Sorry this took a while, but here's the first page! I'm not saying it's final yet because there are some goof-ups that are mainly in the background; I'd rather wait to upload the page to the public until those are fixed, as usual.
Hopefully, the fixes will come later tonight; I'm not gon...

...And here is cover B!
97% of the readers may not know this, but the other 3% might notice that this is a slight nod to the very first cover/page of the comic, back when Mehzness was the artist, back in early-2013! Here's a link to the original for comparison's sake: 2016-09-06 22:15:04 +0000 UTC View Post
At long last, the cover vote is finally upon us! I normally would have this be a $3 thing , since this is a WIP after all, but considering this is a public vote (with you guys getting first dibs, and the exclusive ability to download these at full resolution , mind you), I'm making this an exception...
2016-09-06 22:08:53 +0000 UTC View PostFirst off, if you haven't checked it out already, I just uploaded the first page of the chapter 1 remake a few seconds ago at the time of this writing! If you've chipped in $3 or more, be sure to check it out!
Anyway, as some of you may or may not know, the ever-talented Ataribetch is going to tie...

After a couple weeks of Chapter 4 goodness, we finally get to touching the chapter 1 remake!
Atari hasn't sent me the sketch for the cover yet, since he wants to make sure he gets it down juuust right. Still, I'm just happy I will not only have a consistent art style throughout the whole comic by ...
2016-09-04 23:17:05 +0000 UTC View PostI just wanted to make a quick reminder, though with a slight twist: I will be on vacation from the 9th-19th. I will most definitely have internet on the cruise ship as well as when I'm at the hotel in Miami, but I don't know how fast it will be at the former, since we're talking about satellite wi-f...

Took a little while longer than it needed to be, but as I mentioned, it was mainly minor touch ups. :P

This time around, there's not a lot of changes that need to be make (outside of fixing a slight error on the laptop screen in the 3rd panel, some coloring goofups on the first panel, and fixing Sam's hands, and making the laptop's keyboard a bit more detailed. I'm also wanting to add in some game co...

Sorry this took a while; there was a slight hiccup with the text that had to be fixed.
Also, Atari has assured me that you will see a sketch of the chapter 1 cover when at the same time as the final version of this page is up. :D
Anyway, don't you just love Simon and Lydia instantl...

As promised, we replaced the photocopied images with hand-drawn stuff, and if you look closely, the colored areas not being filled in or going over the lineart is not nearly as noticeable as the previous version. I invite you guys to compare and contrast, if you wish. ;)
Oh, and we replaced the pr...

It seems to be routine now that there's stuff I'm not happy with. Can you guess at least one of them?
If you said, "photocopied/screencapped images", you will receive an almond cookie in the mail!*
As I may have mentioned in the past, there is absolutely no way I can let images like th...

I already said what needed to be said in the original version, but yeah, as I said, the new last panel is more appropriate for the page than the last version. :P

Here's the first page of the new chapter! I was sorta expecting to get the chapter 1 cover vote happen next, but we have plenty of time for that. : P
Anyway, the text is a tad too cramped for my taste, so I am wanting to move the last two panels of Sam typing away on his laptop to the next page an...

And here's the final version of the cover! Only one change Atari has to make this time around, and that's to have the font for the chapter title be the same as Chapter 2's. (UPDATE: Just got this corrected!) I just remembered Chapter 3's cover doesn't have a title, but that's one of the many reasons...

Sorry this took a tad longer than anticipated; not only was Patreon deciding to act a bit slow today, but the delay was also because we were discussing something cool we wanted to do for the Chapter 1 cover that will be decided by only you, the Patron People. You'll see what I mean, next week. : )
