Comic #440

Oi oi. New comic about BIRTHING TECHNIQUES.

Comic #440 (early draft EARLY)

For a wild change of pace I thought I'd post an early draft of a comic BEFORE I'VE EVEN POSTED THE FINISHED ONE!! So this time around patrons are getting an early draft EARLY.

I had been thin...

Behind-the-Bulge #439

Initial sketches of comic 439, didn't seem to change much from first sketch to final iteration. As soon as I pictured the intense slam dunk action being immediately followed by the solemn introspec...

New comic #439!

Probably the most on brand comic in a while, fish, slam dunks and relevant-to-the-subject-matter h...

Project FISH, Dev Log #003

Since the last couple updates, I made a large change to the gameplay based on my own preferences and what I enjoy most in video games, and am genuinely surprised I was able to actually get it worki...

Early Rough Versions of Comic #438

The first 2 sketchy run throughs of the comic from the other day.

As you can see, the face at the end of the comic was very much a case of yep, happy with that, now to not deviate from it in ...

Deathbulge Comic #438

Another new comic, only a month after the last one?? Wild times.

Having trouble uploading to my site but at least I can post it EVERYWHERE ELSE for now.

Threw Trista in for this one, al...

Happy 2nd Anniversary to the Deathbulge RPG

Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands released 2 years ago today!! Decided to step up the anniversary celebrations a little bit more this year by preparing TWO things to celebrate this o...

Who wants a Patron-Exclusive Discount?

Hey hey, so it's the game's 2 year anniversary today and in about half an hour I'll be releasing a youtube video and also announcing a sexy new shirt.

I thought I'd buzz you guys a little in ...

Process Sketches of Comic #437

This comic was quite visually demanding in places (damn you, scrumptious) so there's a multitude of sketch layers for this one.

I really liked the guy leaning forward to look at Scrumptious i...

New Comic (!!!)

And it's not even a game promo comic. I can hardly believe it myself. Couldn't help but throw in Platinum Scrumptious for this one as it felt very fitting for them.

Impromptu Fish-drawing Stream in Half an Hour

A little heads up that I'll be streaming at 7.30 GMT aka in half an hour over at https://www.twitch.tv/deathbulge

Draft Comic Idea 2025

Clearly having a mad one tonight as I just drafted up a fresh comic idea and shared it with a treasured portion of my audience. WHAT YEAR IS IT?

I've been learning a lot of German via Duoling...

More Animation WIPS

Here's a variety of out-of-context screenshots from THE BIG GAME PROMO ANIMATION.

Gettin to that point now where I have to figure out shading and additional effects, a scary part of the proce...

Project FISH, Dev Log #002

You can now be TAKEN OUT by the fish, and I don't mean to dinner, no, to THE HOSPITAL.

The fish don't have time to indulge you in a full-on combat screen with turns n whatnot. If you invade t...

Project FISH, Dev Log #001

Helloooo.

I don't really know how much detail I should go into but while I RELISH the game dev process, my capacity to commit to anything over the last year or so has been shaky to say the le...

Another glimpse into sickest animation I've ever made.

I've made the IDIOT DECISION to go over the entire thing with more expressive linework as shown above. I feel like it's really brought the whole thing to another level of SICK. But it's definitely ...

No charge to Patrons this month.

Hey all! Just to say I've paused the next charge (1st May) as I haven't posted any new animations this month.

While I very much appreciate the sentiments that some have shared about being hap...

Extremely Early Glimpse into next animation

If anyone was worried I'd changed dramatically as a person since pursuing game dev, this upcoming animation will probably re-assure you plenty, WHY? because the next animation will feature a door k...

Small Clip of Promo Animation

At first I was conflicted on whether or not to share this on here, as it is a clip of something being made to help promote the game, A PAID PRODUCT rather than the usual no-strings-attached animati...

Early EXTENDED version of "Plans for the Future"

This is a particularly interesting one as not only is this an earlier version but it contains a middle segment featuring a THIRD kid that didn't make it to the final.

It's a hard call sometim...

"Plans for the Future"

ANOTHER ANIMATION ALREADY! This marks two animations this month!! Certainly feels good to be more active again. Two animations a month does seem plenty feasible if I'm able to stick to half minute ...

Incredibly Rough First Draft of "Why Fishing is Dangerous"

I decided to export a video of the animation at the EARLIEST POSSIBLE STAGE so you guys can enjoy maximum deathbulge jank.

It is INTENSELY recommended that you watch this AFTER watching ...

Final "Why Fishing is Dangerous" Animation

Yeah! ENJOY.

Screenshot from next animation

I'm trying to maintain the aura of this face as much as possible moving into the final drawing cause I think it's my favourite expression I've ever drawn.

I'm doing a thing where I have squar...

Rough Draft of "Bog Trap"

Oi oi, hope everyone's had a nice festive week or so and ready to take on the mighty 2025.

Anyway here's an early export of the recent bog trap animation (I guess this is what you'd call an A...

Bog Trap

Here it is, the final version of the latest in my silly little animations.

I've also posted this on bloody everything, youtube, facebook, bluesky, instagram, twitter, if you feel the itch to ...

Screenshots from upcoming animation

Some dramatic visuals going on here. Devoid of context for maximum mystique. It'll add to the fun when you watch the final thing, you'll be all "ohhh so THAT'S what was happening in that image", it...

Rough Draft of "Downfall" Animation

To kick off the resurrection of this Patreon, here is a video with (mostly) final audio but with the animation in it's earliest roughest state. There's also a couple of old lines in there.
