filler 60

uncharacteristic of the 10 numbers in fillers, just a short folie a dupe strip more akin to a normal diary comic. i've been trying to figure out how to orient my brain to present shorter comics, especially for the filler... and get back into more humor. this one i guessed would be 6 panels, but it turned out to be like 30% longer again...
i'm trying to embrace the advice to let yourself be m...

filler 59

i almost titled this "filler 57" again.

my wife and i have this habit where we shoot our straw wrappers at each other, but we're both trusting and forgetful enough that it takes us by surprise... we've been doing it since we started dating and met in person, but i don't remember i started. i can guess that i started it though, it's a little dickish.

anyway, their outfits in this one...

self-critique "tutorial"

here's another tutorial from way back when (july, apparently).
this one i have a hard time calling a tutorial because i can't really walk anyone through how to self-talk step by step like i could an art progress. i did my best to make it informative and encouraging nonetheless.

this tutorial was also rewritten and half drawn 3 separate times before this came to be. the...

this stream is pretty much right out of the gate this month, so it'll be a shorter one... i'll be working on thank-you doodle requests i got at the end of last month unless requests pop up in stream, and if there are any requests for next one, feel free to leave a comment on this.

hello, all... it's a new month, so here is an update, although i'm not sure how to explain without oversharing or encroaching on my own privacy...

this month will be rough. march may also be rough.
i'm going to be moving out at the end of february -- the current application for an apartment is going to be submitted on saturday (tomorrow), so i'll hear back soon. that apartment isn't av...

filler 58

(EDIT: fixed the number from 57 to 58, forgot about that last comic i drew for a second.)

so i started this on tuesday on a burst of inspiration (hence another folie a dupe comic) and i wrote up a nice, big comment section on this, eventually that got accidentally deleted trying to fix a tablet malfunction, which felt like sucking the motivation out of me to finish, but here it is because...

why the long page?: thoughts on comic length

i jotted down the first couple of panels august 4th last year. i opened it up to work on it more this week (and some of last) and those were still the only 2 panels drawn (but i had redrawn them at some point to make them smaller). i'd kind of given up on completing this and retired to thinking the basic concept was stupid anyway.
i wasn't happy to learn that a more formal collection of thou...

filler 57

i was originally working on something for the $10 tier today about comics and thoughts on them, but i actually had to go fill out my lease paperwork for moving today, so i didn't get to working until about 5 pm.
i decided to switch gears and draw some kind of sketch comic instead. it doesn't include as many characters as i would've wanted, but it does feel nice to be able to focus for long e...

another folie a dupe strip, and it actually isn't the one that i posted a preview to. that one i ended up feeling less and less comfortable posting as there was no point to making it public (no "lesson" at the end) besides a lot of explanations for the "canon."

for this strip... i wanted to experiment more with folie a dupe. i have at least 10 unfinished diary entries in this format from ...

this one will go to all the tiers due to the wonky updates.

i started drawing this comic last year in july, according to the date of the file. i forgot a lot of the punchlines i originally had in my head when i started drawing the comic. still, i think it's better a little worse for wear than unfinished forever.

DEFINITELY not filling in those hyperlinks right now... here's the next page. it's definitely sloppy but it's DONE and that's what matters right now.

"cheat sheet" tutorial

hi again.
as said at the beginning of this tutorial, it was first a spontaneous idea some-odd months ago. i was really excited about it, but now i've been looking at it for so long i'm not sure if it's even useful or interesting anymore.

there was another section on character design that i decided to axe because i really didn't have it in me to make new character designs just to demons...

happy new year, everybody.

i'm not sure what to type here besides reiterating what i mentioned in the last update: i'm going to be posting 8 updates (twice weekly) this month, but they won't really follow the usual format, ergo not really jumping back into a weekly update for fresh meat and a side comic just yet (especially with so much half-finished backlog).
i'll also be doing stream...

another update

hey folks. i already posted about it but i went to the doctor's today, she thought i might have an infection in my stomach causing ulcers, but i still need to see the results. she needed to refer me to a psychiatrist at a different place, and i see them on the 8th.

anyway, i'm going to try to get back to updating next month. it might be a little abnormal in terms of the schedule, but i do...

december update

hey folks. i haven't updated at all, but, no charges for this month either. i figured i would update now that i still haven't drawn anything a week into the month.

things felt like they were getting better near the end of last month and then i made a really big decision that i don't really feel was a bad one in the long run but probably not well-timed: i quit smoking, not just cigarettes but eve...

patreon paused (hiatus)

hello folks, it's been dark for a bit. i'll cut to the meat immediately: i am pausing this campaign so that no one is charged for next month or december. the pause may extend past december, but i won't know how resilient i am until i get there.
i am not reverting my account back to patron-only status because i would like to work on some art and publish it to the relevant tiers while on hiatus k...

first page - previous page - next page

those last 2 panels were in the thumbnail, but i was pulled out to run errands for a couple hours, and went back and forth between cutting them or not. i didn't like the pacing ending on the fourth row, though; implied an impending argument, and cut out necessary comic relief. ended up tacking on a couple extra hours to working on this page.

this stream is muted for now because my father is currently music jamming with a friend who came into town for band practice today. was either sort of "now without sound, or with sound but at 2 in the morning"

october poll

 dev streams: kind of like character development streams, but more generalized to be more workable w/different output and context.
can be question-and-answer about canon, elaboration/development for certain characters/stories, or concept art for in-the-works stuff.

inktober streams: i'd just stream when i'm working on my daily inktober drawing.

hey folks. last month was bad, not gonna beat around it.
i really didn't like it, so i'm not taking a week off at the beginning of this month. mainly i'm doing so because the recovery process for this takes months, but this month will probably be harder than the following as i start to escalate my calorie intake from 500 to 2,500.
so i'm already expecting that i'm not going to stick my landi...
