soft-pedaled, page 11
previous page - first page - next pageso much for not crying... the pacing to re-establish the setting took like 4 more panels than i thought it would and i'm still considering adding an extra one because the head turn for izzi to look at felix is pretty jarring... gotta love this medium...post-color edit: i have redrawn the panel of izzi turning to look at felix. it is a difficult angle to draw her head at due to its flattish spade shape. i ...
fresh meat, page 71 (flats)
finally, the flats for this page are done. i had some neck issues last week, so it was delayed, but i'm kind of glad, since it's a little larger.i'd like to mention that what whittacker throws back in kim's face here is definitely a petty moment, but it's also true, as lupe was just explaining she doesn't like the idea of leaving, and that's why she is getting to leave. if you don't like LEAVING, then you can, basi...

soft-pedaled, page 10
previous page - first page - next pagepretty much the end of the comic after this part, but i'm guessing it's going to be like, 2 more pages. i don't think it'll end in just 1 page.i'm happier with the juxtaposition on this page than the previous ones, the compare and contrast nature of the two sides is easy and obvious. i imagine the landing back to reality is going to be kind of rough, pacing wise.flawless blank screen techn...

FaD strip: common ground
started this strip in january, glad to finally have it done... because there's another short one that i want to do that references this, kind of.some people are comfortable being referred to with their alters' pronouns and i'm not one of those people. gonna be bullying the shit out of my other wanton gender desires until the day i die.also, this strip is funny next to this drawing:
fresh meat, page 70 (shaded)
oh my god, i'm sorry, i've been REALLY busy, and even today was about 5 hours of doing stuff just for medical shit, so i'm really too tired to think of commentary right now. i'll try to think of something when i post the shading. this scene should only have one more page.EDIT: i don't know if i mentioned, but lupe and whittacker were supposed to have more of a pseudo-relationship going on, as lupe was supposed to show up a lit...

doodle dump 8
this one is much smaller than the last one.those icons were really satisfying to do, but they ended up causing my hand a lot of pain because of how much tiny detail there is. also, mine ended up turning out the worst because i drew it first, and because it was the only one i forgot to draw a circle for in the sketch, so it looks worse in circular frames.the banner sketch... i originally wanted to do a head explosion thing there instead, but i end...

august Q+A
UPDATE: going to be starting to answer questions over the course of the rest of today!although i've realized the theme of making them all jokes under the guise of meaningfulness assumed i bullshitted other meaningful answers in the canon instead of having proof, and also assumed that i'm a funny person :Pthis is going to be the post where i answer questions. you can post them here early and i will answer them on the 15th, or you can wait....
august stream poll
"treating characters like pokemon" streams -- pitched by a friend, would involve things like shiny versions of characters, regional forms, guessing types/attacks they would have, etc.food streams -- suggested by my wife, would primarily involve food (and the characters, usually). might be drawing them with some of their favorite foods, might be recipe comics, who knows.
august 2020
hi folks. it's a new month, which means it's time for another update. :)nothing very pressing in terms of news about the comics or art progress... i am chugging along. my buffer is a little smaller than before because i needed to take 2 days off to get my name legally changed last month, but it still exists. i'll be trying to catch up with that today, actually.for the $10 & $15 patrons, this month i'll be trying out Q&A sessions. ...
FaD: kryptonite
i really thought this comic was going to be maybe 6 panels. i REALLY thought that.anyway, hopefully the expressions make it obvious why i wanted to draw it. they were really fun!
fresh meat, page 69 (shaded)
i forgot to upload this yesterday! anyway, first thing's first:Nice.anyway, this is whittacker's last scene. i hope you enjoy it.i forgot to post the newt, but this was the snake nurse's concept design. he is a cobra of some kind.i enjoyed focusing on something besides kim (the last page did the same thing)... even though i try to make her fairly assertive as a protagonist, it's really hard to keep that energy all day every day.i ...

fresh meat, page 68 (flats)
it's time for... radical acceptance! the worksheet on this page is referenced from Skills Training Manual for Treating Borderline Personality Disorder by Marsha Linhan.originally, this scene was very different -- different characters. i worked it around to revolve more around lupe because she is so new and gets such little time. she was going to ask the staff member here if she ever gets angry, to which she would say "no, thanks to radica...
follow-up about Q+A days
okay, so it seems like majority of people are interested in the concept, so i will try a test run next month.i was also thinking that these would work as an all-day, not necessarily immediate thing, more akin to the pace of a reddit AMA thread than a stream, partially to avoid trying to get patrons to interact within the small, random window i decide to stream, and also so that i have more time to answer questions when i feel ready. so it'll ...
random poll: would you all like Q+A sessions as a perk?
feel like this is pretty straightforward. they would probably be like once a month and you would be able to submit questions in advance or ask them within the specified answering time (probably a whole specific day for time zones).
fresh meat, page 67
short meeting with tabitha... here kim is introduced to the concept of the 72-hour hold and such.this palette will take some work with the shading. i'm still on the fence about it, but purpleish lighting has been to indicate it's late in the day/nighttime so far, so purple it is.this is the first look at the communal bathroom as well.i should note, when tabitha says she's taking them to court, she's saying it in the present way, r...

EDIT: shading is done now.here we go... finally.in this page, i originally planned to have kim start to recite what carmilla just scripted for her, as practice, but decided to cut it out for space, mainly.the end of the page is a reference to the scene where sugar gave kim advice, except, obviously, her expression changes from where the previous scene left off. anyway, i don't really have much else to say about this page. really makes you fin...

soft-pedaled, page 9
previous page - first page - next pagei'm thinking of separating this section into single-file pages, 1 for felix and 1 for izzi then the next for felix, etc.anyway, quinn and izzi are really fun to draw. there aren't many other scenarios where i get to draw plants, especially withered plants, so that's a fun change of pace. i wanted to draw bushes and taller plants to indicate more force with their landing; if it weren't for the ...
july stream poll
vignette streams are an old style of stream i used to do that focused on drawing small "snapshots" of characters' lives, usually with no dialogue.

hi again everybody.this month i wanted to draw something easy, so dupe... and really long, i guess. here's an alternative sketch that i decided not to use:anyway, here's something about patreon: you're all being charged sales tax for rewards now. i have no way of seeing which items are considered taxable or not, i was just told to itemize the rewards, and that some of them are taxable, including, but not limited to physical and digita...

doodle dump 7
haven't posted one of these in forever, i keep thinking i don't have enough material yet.a lot of these are very loose sketches and working through concepts or just commissions. it is what it is though, i guess. last year i felt pretty good about my art. this year i'm on the downswing, where everything feels awful because i understand how art works better now. i can feel myself hankering for some study time when i'm less busy.hope...
fresh meat, page 65 (flats)
i'm behind on my schedule because i needed to take about half a week off because of a neck flare again... -_-a plus side of this rewritten scene is carmilla very clearly stating that kim's psychiatrist is average (in her opinion). it's also a little amusing to think that carmilla would almost always be considered an unreliable source of information or input for the same reason that she would be considered a reliable one in this contex...
soft-pedaled thumbs & summary
my computer gave out on me at some point so i don't think i have the completed file anymore, since it would have had to be saved by a periodic data sync with the cloud (i don't let my cloud data sync automatically anymore because it corrupts the fuck out of my files if i access them while it's syncing).there was only one more page thumb anyway. here's the summary:the language is a little brusque, because i write my side comic idea...
