This Cassiopeia Quinn update is the Hiveworks answer to comics not brave enough to make jokes about tandem bicycling!

We almost didn't share this one 'cause it's a tad spoilery, but y'know, you guys are paying for this stuff, you've earned it. This page is actually further along than this, but more detail might give ...

Page Commentary No. 37

Psu: We fought about the last panel! I only bring that up cause you added it to the public comments. Otherwise I'd be okay to pretend our writing sessions are perfect harmonious hug f...

May Pinup Preview

We aren't able to just give the whole pinup to everybody for free, but this bit was too good not to share around.

May 2017 Pinup

We MIGHT have to do a small production run of plush toy versions of the characters and like, auction them on eBay after this...

This was the first concept art for this month's pinup. Some changes were made, as you'll see soon enough! A lot of it in the positions of the stuffed animals and stuff...

This Cassiopeia Quinn update was trained in secret as part of a plot to overthrow the Emperor. I mean, Hiveworks. I mean... look, just keep quiet about the whole thing!

Page Commentary No. 36

Gunwild: I wrote this, but you added the Vanaa in the various panels absorbing solid culture, which is what makes it. Well, actually what makes it is the AMAZING title, but that goes ...

There are SO many people in panel 6.

Speech bubbles, even the "burst" ones we use for off-panel people talking through a speaker, get laid in before any sound effects or even lighting. They take up ...

This new Cassiopeia Quinn update is perfect for a Sunday morning - you don't even have to get out of bed to read it!

Psu: Oh my glob, Maddy's dress uniform (pun!) was fantastic!

Gunwild: It's a good one. So is the lame but delightful joke, which I'm sure we came up with not as an ...

WiP 5/17/17

We decided not to have Feti hit the deck in the last panel - Maddy's not going to get the upper hand all of a sudden and pull out an easy victory in two pages (if at all). So this sketchy first pass i...

Oh, this is something we don't see every week! In the top left you'll notice that the sO2da sun is already colored. That's because it's lineless! The art doesn't have any inked lines drawn or to color...

Page Commentary No. 34

Gunwild: You pretty much wrote the last one. This one was my answer to that, I guess, I had to pitch it to you.

Psu: I really love the framing in all these panels. ...

Guest Comic: Sattelite Nine

Did you read the latest guest comic? It asks the hard questions you can only explore in sci-fi! (I didn't write this one, as I usually write the guest comics. Sat did it on her own.)

We weren't totally sure about Kamsi pushing the ad out of the way physically in the first panel, but it made more sense than her, say, tapping an "X" button in the corner of it to close it. If you go ...

Page Commentary No. 33

Psu: I think we actually managed to plan a "break" in the action to coincide with a holiday.

Gunwild: Yeah. Also, we're never gonna be as good at heartwarming momen...

April 2017 Pinup

As stated in our very second story, Alina "Cupcake" Ison's hobby is baking (hence the nickname). But it looks like she's got a Keebler fudge stripe cookie there. Can you make those at home? Because I ...

Page Commentary No. 32

Gunwild: Talps is pretty on the ball with human language already. That's why she knows when to use "Aye!" when honestly, a lot of humans get it wrong.

Psu: I don't ...

WiP 4/27/17

Panels 4-8 were all written in reasonable detail in the script. But you'll notice they're still in sketchy redlines now, while the rest of the page looks more firmed-up. That's because at first, while...

Ah, spring. When a young space heroine's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of reading a new Cassiopeia Quinn update!

Gunwild: It's okay Skwidj, you shouldn't be ashamed of your body!

Pinup WiP 4/20/2017

Extra Work in Progress update this week! Because she was only a couple of points behind in last month's poll, and because Psu really wanted to draw her, Alina "Cupcake" Ison is going to be fe...

WiP 4/20/2017

There will be some detail differences on this page, but what's unusual about it is that the color was laid down almost in the first step! We had to know how it would work out jumping from present to f...

The show @Midnight did a "Hashtag Wars" segment called #RuinSciFi last night. Maybe check out that tag on Twitter, give yourselves a laugh! Of course, AFTER you check out this update. Goes without say...

WiP 4/13/2017

In the initial sketch of this page, panels 3, 4, and 5 were all just one panel of Kamsi and Vernon themselves calling the start of the fencing match. That's not terribly likely - they're commenters, n...

Page Commentary No. 30

Gunwild: I really like the storytelling in this page, the comedic timing in the panels is excellent, good work Psu. Also, I like to imagine that the Vanaa on the PA was referring to s...
