Runaway to the Stars: Page 245 and 246

Tada! Centaurs!

This twist has consistently surprised most people reading through the entire book in one shot, but it was instantly demolished by fans who have been rereading the same pages for years and sharing theories with each other. It did sting a lot to see those readers start discussing this like it was obvious and inevitable, though. I can understand now why authors sometimes pani...

Uh oh...

Runaway to the Stars: Page 243

Ohwitiil is holding a phone here. Many avian phones have a knob handle like this.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 242

I love when an avian is on a page because then I get to design a new stupid little bird outfit.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 241

Sorry this took a while. I wasn't working on pages in chronological order for a bit.

Stream Tonight Cancelled

I'm experiencing technical problems with my desktop PC and will be unable to stream reliably until it's fixed. Hopefully I can figure out what's causing the crashes and fix it before next Tuesday, but I don't know yet. I will keep working on pages on my tablet computer in the meantime, but that device doesn't have enough memory to run OBS and Clip Studio Paint at the same time. Sorry for the un...

Runaway to the Stars: Pages 239 and 240

The penultimate chapter has begun.

RttS Reader Questions Chapters 6 and 7

It came to my attention that some people on the Patreon aren't following the webcomic site and haven't been seeing the reader questions I've been answering at the end of chapters, so I'm going to start cross-posting them. Here's the last batch.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 238

The Runaway is a little four story house on top of a titanic flamethrower.

If you're curious, z-pinch fusion is a real thing humans have built machines to do, although as far as I know nobody's made a space propulsion system with one yet.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 237

(Gently and affectionately grasps you with industrial machinery)

That's the end of the chapter. Coming up shortly, the log page. Just one because I rewrote the narrative pages in Chapter 8 to be one page longer and the page order stopped working with two log pages.

Finally, at long last, Talita is getting a hug.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 235

Talita feels the world closing in around her. Gillie feels the thrilling success of tricking the largest governmental body in the galaxy.

Edit: I left the ref layers in on accident for like 2 minutes of post time, its 7:30AM, I'm going to sleep.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 234

Idrisah charging her beam attack in panel 3 here.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 233

Finally someone's angry about all this, even though it really ought to be Talita.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 232

I swear the next scene will be something not actively making things worse for Talita.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 231

...Yeah, this was never going to go well.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 230

Another room Talita can't stand up inside.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 229

A person's capacity to inflict violence isn't determined by fangs and muscles. It's determined by their ability to depersonalize others.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 228

When you finally get a jab in at your lame boss 😈

Also Adam does not exist and cannot read your threats, but I have to. Please don't get too graphically violent in the replies.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 227

Antler to antler communication.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 226

Today, the temps awkwardly listen to their boss chew out their coworker for being a dumbass on the shared radio channel.

June to August Ink Doodles

Some scribbles from this summer. Mostly flowers and animals, some centaurs, room planning, strange nails, Jovian architecture brainstorming. There were some things I couldn't share because they are spoilers-ish for RttS book 2 (also architecture related).

Stream Hiatus, I am in England

No stream today (the 12th), next Friday (the 15th), or next Tuesday (the 19th) as I am in England. Come see me at Dinocon this weekend instead if you're a UK resident.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 225

Surely we're just doing maintenance in a tedious way because you're dumb and hate us, right Talita?

Runaway to the Stars: Page 224

Can't take your eyes off him for a second.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 223

Talita is doing her job for once, lol. One (or more) of the antennae on this communication tower is malfunctioning and creating outages, and it's a mishmash of original avian equipment and human equipment that was slapped up and attached to any power cord that wouldn't short it out, and nobody bothered to record which doohickey was on which breaker, so... They are having to try all of them. Mai...

Runaway to the Stars: 222

Hello, pest control? There is an obnoxious worm crawling all over my fourth wall.

Runaway to the Stars: The Cover!

After like a year of piddling around with it in between working on narrative pages, I finally got a moment to complete the book cover! Hooray!

The outer cover is meant to have a hole punched in it, with a full color inner cover that shows another scene. I thought it was a neat gimmick that plays well with the themes of the book, and also I'm a masochist who likes giving myself double wor...

Wifi Not Working, No Stream Tomorrow

Hey gang, I moved into a new place 2 days ago and was hoping to have the wifi back up today, but despite everything else being taken care of the router is mysteriously not connecting to the mothership. We have a guy coming to look at it on Wednesday but Tuesday stream is unfortunately not gonna happen. Sorry. Guess I will spend that time unpacking and setting my fish tank back up.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 221

Back to the lame real world, where Bip isn't a giant ghost made of marine snow trapped in the wreckage of a Gulfstream jet harpooned to the ocean floor. And also the end of my page backlog, back to my usual sporadically updating bullshit. I hope you've enjoyed the daily updates.
