Much to think about.

Talita works off some stress.

Idrisah passes the lame excuses baton to Talita.

You'll never guess what Idrisah's secret weakness is.

Runaway to the Stars: Page 119

Idrisah is most tormented by the fact there's a possibility they COULD get away with this.

The only thing more complicated than building a machine that can travel between star systems is the paperwork giving it permission to do that.

Guys I think she noticed

Flicking the lights on and off is one of the common methods for getting attention in Deaf culture, in my experience as a hearing guest I've most often seen it used to announce entering a room or to get the attention of a crowded party.

Talita's got some moral reservations about this situation that aren't ex-piracy related.

You again.

Talita panel 3: "Oh god it's one of my temps. Please ignore me please ignore me please ignore me please ignore me please ignore me is that a fucking weed pipe?"

Drawing these complex environments to set the scene has been fun but I admit I'm looking forward to the next seven pages of talking heads inside an environment I've already modeled. I've gotten so much better at Blender though. Lo...

In drawing this page I inflicted myself with a novel version of the zucchini abundance curse, because I while I enjoyed drawing the one on the last page, by the time I had to draw the row here I was sick of them.

It's the first page of RttS that wasn't part of the rough pages I've already posted online! Yippee!! And it features: a resplendently over-rendered zucchini plant. Exactly what you're reading this comic for.

Back on the horse. Here's a chapter insert featuring Talita explaining the ground-to-orbit technology on Dirtball. Next page is something that wasn't in the roughs I've uploaded.

Ink doodles January

Hi, I have been drawring.

Mostly worldbuilding sketches, food and animal doodles, planning an abstract charcuterie board sculpture, and some Idrisahs from last year I forgot to scan.

What I've Been Doing

Hi gang. An unfortunate amount of my January has been dealing with insurance, but I've been trying to get artwork done during my comic break. Part of that was prepping the colored edition of Airsled for the print tech, including some new bonus material (pictured here, one of the worldbuilding pages). It's in the print tech's hands now so I'm hoping to release the preorder in a February shop upd...

1/19 Friday Stream Cancelled

Tomorrow's stream is cancelled because I'm experiencing a situation (car declared total loss after a month of flip-flopping from the insurance company) and it needs to be resolved before the weekend (collision center only open weekdays and I need to get all my possessions out of the car). I'll try and stream Monday or Tuesday to make up for it.

Sticker Poll, Pick Your Favorites

EDIT: Added back the reference image for two of the poll options, which vanished somehow during an edit because the text box editor for poll posts has glass bones and paper skin.

I'm getting ready to do a store drop with colored Airsled, and I'm gonna be making a pair of stickers for it (Vrazi and Piawii). But while I'm at it I'd like to do another limited edition sticker...

Bip has a lot to grieve.

And Chapter 3 is done. I'll be taking a break from RttS pages to catch up with other art for the next month or so. After that, it's all new pages that I haven't shared roughs of to Patreon before.

Give her a moment, she'll figure it out.

Ink Doodles Nov-December

It's continued to be slow for doodles, as I've been trying my hardest to not get distracted from finishing Chapter 3. Some of these were visual development for the last comic page, where I drew with the belongings and luggage of the last crew of the Runaway, who were mix of nomadic ethnicities.

Talita's gotten desensitized to the Bip jumpscares.

Page 100! Yipeeee!!! I'm (approximately) a third of the way through the book!

Typical Talita meal is a big bag of unseasoned bugs straight out of the fridge. If this lady was human she'd be drinking six raw eggs for breakfast

Talita tentatively decides to assist a criminal.

Ixion has company tricycles for getting around the recycling plant facility because it's so huge. The avians are especially fond of them because they have short legs and flying inside the plant isn't always a great idea (plus, ugh, that's like running everywhere)
