The artwork really came out incredible for this page and I couldn't be happier with it. I might have cried a little bit alongside Colson there after I read it when it was all finished and polished up.
There is so much haaaaandsome Sebastien on this page I could barely contain myself putting the finishing touches on this page. He's aged like a fine wine and do NOT look into his eyes because you will get lost, maybe forever.
*ahem* Anyway.
Aren't the future cell phone orbs kinda cool? The script merely says "a slim, clearish phone-like device", and that is what Flint came up with. ...

Surprise announcement! There's going to be a prequel issue to What Brings Us Together that showcases the meeting and relationship development of Toby to his future wife and daughter. Can't wait to tell this very personal story and with the help of the incredible Soul Nero who is lending his illustration talents for this issue. It's such a pleasure to get to work with so many talented artists. 2022-04-15 18:40:05 +0000 UTC View Post
Apologies for the delay, but we're back with page 2! This page is exciting to release because you guys finally get a look at everyone else in the cast. I adore all their designs and I swoon for what a handsome grandpa Sebastien's become. Thanks once again to Rusbear for all his insights and prowess with elderly gentlemen design.

I'm beyond excited to post this first page of our super special issue. This has been a big work in progress as the three of us get acclimated to our process, and heck, it was just a lot of work in general, but sooooo worth it. I highly encourage you to view this at full size. There's so much wonderful detail in every panel that zooming in makes apparent.
Anyway, I'll let the page do the r...

Thought it might be interesting to share with you the WIP/test references for Toby. We were trying out various hair and beard styles (some of which make me giggle endlessly like the Hercule Poirot one). I also pictured Toby as just being really tall (tallest of the entire cast!) and a bit more athletic, given his love of futbol/soccer. The dynamic between adult Toby and his dads really works wi...

I'm so excited, we are finally under way for production of the epic, 22 page next issue of Sweet Leaves! Here's the cover image which... honestly makes me cry a little bit here and there when I look at it. I know it's corny, but these characters are family to me - and seeing Toby all grown up and starting a family of his own evokes a lot of emotions. I hope you'll all feel the same emotions, si...
2022-02-02 01:02:27 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! Sorry I haven't checked in here much; that's my bad, but I'm finally back with some news!
I've been hard at work on the next issue of the comic and I'm happy to say that the script is finished. I continue to go over it with a fine tooth comb to slightly refine the dialogue and action, but it's pretty much ready to go... at 21 pages long. When I started writing this issue, I h...
2022-01-12 04:40:57 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone. I'm sorry there's been radio silence here. I've had one of the most difficult periods of my life this past month, which began as physical illness, then added mental illness later because of the physical illness. I would say I'm partly on an upswing, I just need a bit more help in getting there. I'm searching more earnestly for it on Monday. Ultimately, unless I end up with...

A guest comic, whee! This one comes from CVictorrosso, who is deftly showing the (unhealthy) obsession Colson has with bowties. Also... mustache Sebastien.

Hi everyone. There's a new plan in place - this time I've done more planning and research and I'm 100% confident what we're going to do will be able to get done - a motion comic. I don't know yet if it will include any voice acting, but I've found a wonderful professional that can do all the animations for a good rate.
I am writing the new chapter as a comic, something I have experience i...
2021-10-15 03:50:34 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone. As you've seen, things have been quiet here lately after we finished Jo's Fair. There is still a SFW one pager and NSFW one pager coming as well sometime soon, but I wanted to give an update on the children's storybook I was writing.
That's on hold. Simply put I didn't do a great job of scoping the project, and I bit off more than I can chew. Aim small, miss small, but aim bi...

Good thing Toby has the coolest friends, right? Also, how COULD you, Sebastien?

Hi everyone! I'm onto page 9 of the epic children's book poem I'm writing on the first draft. You can see that it's taking a long time, but I labor over every word choice and am constantly revising. I wish I could work faster on it but I *am* sort of nearing the end of the story, though I still have lots of work left to do on it.
In the meantime we've got some short, light hearted fare fo...

Here it is, the last couple pages. I hope there's a strong emotional response to these pages given the proceeding story.

Jo arrives to a special surprise.
Of note, the next page is actually two, the second being a full page illustration to end the story (no panels). As such there will be a slight delay in getting the end of the story posted, but we'll finish as soon as we can. Apologies for the wait, but we hope you enjoy this page very much. It's a favorite of ours.

I'm particularly proud of this and the next page. Mouse and I worked together more than usual (normally I just describe scenes and provide references, and he just gets it perfect on the first try 90% of the time) on the visual presentation here. I tried to make these two pages feel like "film", rather than a comic, by utilizing framing and distance from the reader. I really hope that the transi...

Nico doesn't have quite the empathetic talent of Colson or Toby, but he's trying.
Our next page is actually sort of 2 pages (they're meant to be viewed together), so there will be a little longer between this page and the next for what is typical. Thanks for your patience!
