Comic Report 31.1 - A Change in Perspective

Hello again!  Thank you for your patience over the holiday week. I'm back with a progress report on my work: I'm in comic-making mode right now and I will continue to remain so until this page is...

Holiday Update

Hey guys. I'm just making a quick post to say I've had kind of a busy week around the Thanksgiving holiday so I don't have much to share. I will keep working on the next comic page and give you someth...

Comic Report #31 - Plans In Motion

Here is the sketch phase of the next comic page.  Narratively this page is meant to cement the turn of events from the previous page and set the stage for the rest of the comic to come.  The...

Comic Report 30.1 - I Almost Forgot The Title

Here's the textless version of the next page. I wanted to get this finished in this week cycle so I'm really happy to make it a day or so earlier than I thought. If I'm honest that's entirely down to ...

Comic Report #30 - The Turning Point

I've been going hard on gamedev stuff for a while so I decided to turn out another comic page as soon after the last one as I could.  It's partly because I sometimes feel compelled to "prove" tha...

Comic Report 29.1 - A Successful Operation

Here's this week's progress update!  I took the rest of Thursday to knock it out but I'm happy to have the entire thing painted and ready to go in a week. I've been feeling bad about how long mak...

Comic Report #29 - Doctor's Orders

Here's the inks for the next page.  I'm gonna push through it and spend this week getting it done and posted, since I've put a bit of work into game time I need to swing back into comics. I'm alw...

Game Journal #42 - The Journey

I spent the entirety of this week processing and exporting all the new art assets I'd been working on so I didn't have time to draw anything new. After everything was exported I checked my files and s...

Comic Report 28.3 - The Doctor is In

Here it is!  The finished textless art for the new page before I put some words to it and put it on the site.  I think I got the medical room as cramped and grody as I want it to be so I'm q...

Comic Report 28.2 - Slowly But Steady

Here is a progress shot of the next page. I feel a bit bad at how long I've taken to get this one done, but I'm juggling a lot of things and I shouldn't feel ashamed of that.  I'm committed to wo...

Cache Dash - An Introduction

This week's Patreon update is half announcement, half confession.  For the past month or so Jason and I have been working on a side project to help us build income so we can devote more effort in...

Comic Report #28 - All Hands

Here's the sketch phase of the next comic page.  It's one of my patented two-thread scene shuffles, blending what Lizzie is doing with what Alice is doing. In a couple pages the intertwine will c...

Art Tutorial Archive

Since this is a short week update I took some time to go back and clean up my Patreon archive a little bit.  When I first started I posted a lot of formal how-to art posts based around a specific...

Comic Report #27.3 - Finalized Art

As is tradition, here is the full textless art for the next page.  I wanted to get it done "by the end of the weekend" and it looks like I just barely hit my mark, which I'll take.  I'm happ...

Comic Report #27.2 - Cold Cuts

I'm so mad. I was all set to power through this page in a week and I caught a cold at some point and lost my weekend to recovery!!!  I would have had this whole page done by now if I hadn't gotte...

Comic Report #27 - Sorta Sketchy

I got a page all done up this week, and in a surprise twist: I'm gonna keep working on it and try to finish it for next week. I think it's doable and I want to prove to myself that it can happen, so I...

Comic Report #26.1 - Followthrough

I'm just about at the homestretch of this page so yo guys get to see it early! I used to do lettering before the background to save the amount of space I actually need to paint but since I started mak...

Comic Report #26 - Something Old, Something New

I got a jumpstart on the next comic page and managed to get a good bit of it done this week.  I expect I should have it finished by this time next week, if not by the end of the weekend. I did a ...

Comic Report #25 - Spring Cleaning

This week I decided to sit down and do some things for my site I've been putting off for a really long time.  I'd been putting it off so long for how much time and effort it'd take, and it ended ...

Comic Report #24.2 - Birthday Update

Hello again!  As is tradition, here is the finished textless artwork for the next page, nice and clean to see all the details on.  Today is my birthday and I wanted to get this done by now, ...

Con Report: TCAF 2017

Last weekend I was in Toronto for TCAF. Canada is a lovely country and I always have a wonderful time when I'm visiting. It's the second year I've done the show, and it was the first time I've exhibit...

Comic Report #24.1 - A Small Detour

I didn't get as much comic work done as I wanted to this week. I had to finish up a work commission this weekend, and when I finished that I realized that TCAF had snuck up on me and is in fact this w...

Comic Report #24 - Background Noise

Hello again!  Here's the sketch phase for the next comic page.  I'm going to type up some words about it, if that's alright with you:

As the story very slowly progresses I've been trying t...

Comic Report #23.2 - Set The Scene

Hello again!  Here's the textless version of the page art for you.  I wanted to get this all done by the end of the weekend and it looks like I'll have the next page fully done for the morni...

Comic Report #23.1 - Narrative To Go

So I said I was gonna try to get my Patreon updates back to Wednesday after being pushed to Friday, but I had to work on some commission art over the weekend and Fri, Half of Sun, Mon wasn't enough ti...

Comic Report #23 - The Great Outdoors

Since we spent all month in February making not-comics I wanted to focus entirely on comics for at least two pages before I start making more game assets again, to keep that ball rolling.  Last w...

ECCC Report: Dead Winter, Glyphsong; Demos!!

 GAME DEMOS AND MUSIC SOUNDTRACK: Since we've expanded our game demos to support Windows, Mac and Linux, files have exceeded Patreon's 200mb att...

Comic Report #22.2 - We're Back!

Back home from ECCC!  Seattle is one of my favorite cities to show in. We got a lot of feedback from people trying out our games- and people found a lot of bugs we missed playing it individually ...

Game Journal #33 - Get Up And Go

This week has been a wild ride!  Over the weekend I pushed hard to get the last of my art assets done- most of these won't be used in the build we have for ECCC but they're ready for the build af...

Game Journal #32 - Ready To Roll

I'm very proud of how much work I got done in this one week.  Last week Lou was halfway drawn, and this week he's all-the-way done and we're able to rebuild the game in the new engine back to whe...
