A lot of what makes Kuserra's downtown area thrive is its access to trade caravans from neighboring regions. Every once in an inconsistent while, daring captains with hardy crews and even hardier vehicles will cross the treacherous Deadlands to reach the city. Once there, they will deliver food, textiles, goods and watts, and in exchange, they will take crates of mechanical scrap, salvage and b...
2021-05-28 21:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostWe did it, you guys! We made it to the first goal of ten patrons. I guess that means I have to get serious about putting up a character page on the main site.
We will need a character to debut that page, however. Who should it be? Kiva would make the most sense of course, but I did promise I'd let you guys vote on it.

The highlight of this page, for me, is actually those middle three panels. I've never tried anything quite like faking a parallax effect before.

That panel in the upper left was a candidate for some standalone art at one point, but I think it's better put to use here.

Comic this week?: I think I should be able to get page 103 done by Wednesday. I'll let you know if that changes.
Max Poster: Needs more linework.
Drawing: Page 103 (need to find some better way of doing this, because 99% of my time is really just spent working on The Next Page, but the goal is to list like... other things, if ...

This is a series of sketches I wanted to do where I challenge all my characters to make an expression most often associated with just one of them. The last one I posted... what the fuck... NINE MONTHS AGO?!

A couple of months back, you might recall I did a favorite character poll. Riley, Kiera and Max won in a three way tie, so I decided to make full color high-res posters for each of them. With both Riley's and Kiera's done, I have no more excuses to not work on Max's.
This is a web-friendly-sized public version of the poster just to thank everyone who isn't a Patron for reading...

I dunno, something witty and clever here.

Happy Monday everyone! There is internet, the builders are slowly getting around to fixing everything else that's still covered under warranty. I'm getting back into an art routine. All is well.
Comic this week - It seems likely, but I'm going to have to crunch pretty hard today and tomorrow to get it done.

Just a super quick warm-up of Kiva today.
This is what I've started calling a "Tier-1 sketch." Normally I'd reduce its opacity, go over it again with a Tier-2 sketch, then (if I'm still not satisfied), I'll trace over that once more with a Tier-3 sketch before I start inking the final lines. None of these sketches are visible in a completed image, usually. Often they will contain constru...
I'm just glad to be posting comics again. Thank you for reading!

Things are finally starting to get back to normal! We've got our new desks almost set up. We got a fridge... washer and dryer are being delivered this week... and the builders promised to think about fixing our internet this week... so... hopefully that all happens! I'm down to about 3.5 gb of phone data before they start throttling me big time, and at the rate I'm going that ...
2021-05-10 16:43:31 +0000 UTC View PostComment on this post with any questions you want to ask any of my characters, and I will dedicate a sketch to answering it.
Anyone can ask anything, but Patrons will get priority.

So, I'm still pretty braindead from moving (and all the subsequent problems we've been having since) and we haven't received ANY sketch suggestions and yesterday I was completely out of ideas, so I just doodled some crap I didn't feel was worth posting.
Today I complained about this to my good friend Foster, and he posed the question, what if Riley told us what happened to her tail?
I suppose I'm aware that at least a part of Riley's design is inspired by the Cheshire Cat. That grin of hers is meant to be creepy and unnerving. Visually, it's meant to give you the impression that she is insane or that she's capable of unpredictable behavior. However, I try to be very careful to avoid defining her by an unspecific madness. Riley is a person first: she is a normal young girl,...

Last night was full of dreams. They were those annoyingly realistic dreams that seemed to be completely plausible and completely real until you wake up and you remember that none of it happened... except even after you think about it you can't quite be 100% sure it didn't.

This is a Friday Post, it's Friday, shush. It's also a hasty, unfinished sketch from a couple of days ago before everything exploded.
The best laid plans of fraternal twin foxsnep things often go awry. I'm sorry for all the delays. Regular comics will resume soon. We were supposed to have internet installed yesterday. We don't even have internet right now.
I'm not above a little Kiera fanservice. Besides, I could always use the anatomy practice. I used a posing doll for the body this time, but I dunno... those dolls help me get the proportions correct sometimes but I think it comes at the cost of a lot of stylistic choices I might have made otherwise.
In other news, we got the keys to the new house finally, and all the furniture is being d...
Moving sucks. It seems like no matter what we do to prepare, it always sucks. None of the dates line up properly, there's always a bizarre period of limbo where your entire life is upended, and anything that can go wrong does go wrong.
The hope was that I would be able to maybe finish another comic page this week or next, but it just doesn't seem very likely to happen. M...

Happy Wednesday! Arrived at the new city, but I'm staying with some friends because it'll still be a week before we finish all the things and settle into the new house.
Got set up with a laptop and my tablet though and I am able to draw somewhat decently while I'm here!
This is an imagining of Riley as a young adult, maybe. Was mostly just going to be a warm up test sketch to make...
First I'd like to welcome and thank our newest Patron, Luney! Thank you so much for joining us!
I'm currently at the midway point between the old city and the new one, and I'm spending the day at my parents house before flying out tomorrow. I walk into the family room, and what do I find framed and displayed proudly but a familiar portrait! It's pretty heartwarming to see something li...
I have a lot to do today so I made this quick and dirty, but I thought it might be fun to share, kinda, a map of just the spots I care about when I'm drawing the twins.
I certainly don't painstakingly map out their entire bodies and keep every single spot consistent, but there's a fair number of them I pay special attention to just to make sure that their appearance doesn't drastically s...
