Postponing a LIFT update while we finish some work for Book 2 of the TOY omnibus! We'll share a couple of these pages with you in the meantime; there'll be two more of these redrawn pages included in an Omnibus WIP Journal post coming for the $5+ tier this week, as well.
On that note: the intermission comics are all redrawn by Suzana for the omnibus, and in this case, we combined a joke f...

Happy new year! ♥ I don't know how I could ever draw rural America without a ton of vehicles and trucks... but I really don't think horses or bicycles would be any easier to work with. I really wish we could invent magic or some sci fi teleporters by now, maybe 2025 can surprise us.

I'm actually not sure he ever saw the reindeer, as I have a suspicion he never opened his eyes. He started crying 3 minutes before we got to the front of the line and he didn't stop until he fell asleep in the car on the way home.

Working on our first LiFT holiday card this week, excited to share that soon!

It feels like it's been years since our last update, and yet also we're finishing this one 5 hours before it goes live. We hope you're doing okay. It's been a lot, I know.
On a lighter note, Owena and I had our 12th marriage anniversary on Monday. (Happy anniversary again, love! ♥) Between that, Recent World ...

There's a font change here; doing it now while there's not too many pages to update. Owena is aiming to have it (at least this chapter) updated by the time this goes live, but there'll probably be a little time overlap before it all switches over. This is mostly to match the font we're using for TOY's new printing, and also because we just really like it. ♥

This was a brutal page! But getting a little more of the area filled out.♥ I'm already missing all of the green that was here in Massachusetts last month, everything is already nearly bare and ready for winter. Here's the page without text, too, for anyone curious!2024-10-29 01:25:16 +0000 UTC

Sylvia's gonna have a little bit of a hard time fitting in, but that's what I'm here for. ♥
Suzana made me laugh out loud with that first Felix when I first saw him! I immediately thought of the Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz, and it really tickled.

I'm pondering the complications of character accents in webcomics again today. After all this time, I'm still pondering it.
I'm probably not going to say much about it publicly, but Suzana and I are currently in the process of parting ways with Hiveworks. It'll be an ongoing process as we migrate our website's files to our own hosting, which has been a bit of a puzzle so far. I men...

Here's a LIFT update, one week early!
Not only is this sequence based on a true story, the dialog comes directly from a notepad I transcribed exactly what was shouted through the floor under me. I told myself "this is gonna be worth it some day when I can give this stress to Liam instead of me." It then becomes so much funnier to me on this end.
Liam has done me this solid many time...

Suzana finished inking this page early yesterday morning. I (Owena) just finished coloring it a couple hours ago (before we moved on to the finalizing stage), and honestly I could have kept working on this for another week before I was satisfied, if I let myself.
I'm not where I want to be yet (which I think is probably a good thing, as I have a really clear goal for myself I'm enjoying ...
