Goats Book 5 Page 48

This one took a long time. I won't make you wait another second:

This was a difficult page to complete, for a number of reasons. Technically it was a monster, extremely tough to draw from a physical perspective. For me. I'm still not thrilled with the final product. I don't consider myself a ...

I have heard your cries for more comics, and I have delivered. Behold:

Prak is back! Good to see that guy again, although his timing is awful.

Three wide panels, not much dialogue, what took so long for this page, you ask? I'm working on another project in the background! A pitch for a...

Everyone good? Good. Let's go:

Working on this book is a bittersweet experience. Every moment with these characters is marinated in the knowledge it's the end. A final few panels to spend with some old friends. This one hit me hard. A lot of life feels that way, now.

Thanks for spendi...

Things are beginning to get rather heated.

I, personally, am eager to see what happens next. On account of the massive tension that's been built. Can't be anything good.

Hope you're all having a fantastic summer and I love you! More comics as soon as I can make them.

These pages are taking forever. Worth it, but literally fucking forever. I don't want to waste another moment of your time:

I mean, yeah, it doesn't help that I spent a week or so traipsing about Europe with my wife and kid, or that we're trying to get said kid ready for her big send-off to college in...

The gang's all here! Let's get right to it:

And that's page 41! Seems like there are some unresolved intergenerational issues at play but I'm sure some healthy communication will clear that right up. RIght?

I'm gonna try to get one more page done between now and the 15th, when I'm going on ...

40 pages! That's a lot of pages.

Whoa! Farmer Wheatina! It's been a hot minute. And it's getting hotter.

That's it for now! I'm gonna get right back to drawing because there is a lot about to happen and all of it needs to be drawn by me, using hands and such. I hope you enjoyed the new page, ch...

Welcome back to Goats! Would you care for a fresh page?

This one took quite some time, and not just because I spent way too much time on details, which I did. So many details. I hope people are zooming in on all that shit because it is exhausting.

Somehow, despite being multiply vaccinated and r...

Another page! Amazing how these somehow keep appearing here, on this website. Like magic.

You have to love a tender reunion between an owner and a lost pet. Lots of curious eyeballs there, I wonder what that's all about. Maybe that's how TikTok works, I'll never know.

Thank you all for your cont...

Here it is! A page of comics:

Page 37. Looks like that memebomb wasn't so hard to locate after all. That saves us a few interdimensional trips! Very convenient.

Also, that's a lot of fire. Where is all that fire coming from?

How are you all? I'm fine, except for all the things. You kn...

Steve! Steve is back. So good to see that guy.

And that's page 36! Sorry for the long turnaround time, I've had some other non-Goats secret projects I've been working on behind the scenes (a Crab City spinoff middle grade series which I'll tell you more about when I can), as well as some rush freelance...

Enough journalling! Let's get going with the blue monkey action.

And that's it for now! Not much news to report, I'm just keeping my head down, trying to get as much done as I can, and not thinking too hard about all the monsters everywhere. I hope you're all hanging in there as best as you can....

Farmella's Journal, page 4. Thanks for your patience! It's been fun revisiting some of the imagery from the earlier books here, especially stuff from Book 2.

Farmella's Journal, page 3. Today it's a dream journal! Superhell is mostly beige and neutral tones, it's not pleasant to be there.

Lots of cameos from dead characters today! Always nice to see those guys.

Okay! I'm gonna get the next page queued up and start pencils. This last one took wa...

More of Farmella's journal from Snelf Junction. A brief look at life in a world in decline, unlike ours, which is definitely not about to collapse at all.

And we're back! Sorry for the long delay between pages, between winter break, some health-related challenges, and writing chapter 4, there was a slight pause in production. But now that I've got the next twenty pages written and I know what they need to look like, things should be smoother from here on out.

You've been so patient, I don't want to make you wait one more second:

And that there is the end of Chapter 3! I'm sure this won't have any further repercussions later on in the story.

That's all the Goats there is for 2024. I'm going to take the next week and work on some non-Goats infrastructure-style projects, and then we're on break with the kids until early January. So I'll see you back here then with the next chapter! I think it'll be time to check in...

Sometimes, when things don't go as planned, you need to take a moment to reassess and reorient.

More Goats! Let's not waste any time getting right to it:

 Much quicker turnaround than the last page! Once I have the visual vocabulary in place it comes a lot more quickly. Next up: page 3! More dialogue! More interaction! And pictures! I'm gonna get to it. See you back here soon.

A new scene begins! Let's see what's happening over on Charworld (formerly Monkey Planet).

I think this should resolve any lingering doubts about Phillip's fate. Prak and Tractoria are very thorough.

Page 21! Who is this hooded guy, anyway?

He seems a little passive aggressive, if you ask me.

I am going on vacation! So probably no updates here until September, when I get back and the kids are firmly ensconced in school once again. Sorry about the cliffhanger, but them's the breaks. View Post

Page twenty! That's a lot of pages. Twenty of them, to be exact. Here it is!

There's a lot I could say here, but I don't want to ruin anything. So I won't!

Thanks for your support this month, I'll try to keep the new pages flowing. Lots and lots of exciting stuff coming, stay tuned!
