Hello and thank you for being here, as always. Also...it's May! Please forgive me for this late post.
I've been going pretty hard on my project in development lately, but 99% of that energy went into writing instead of drawing this month. I was finally able to share a coherent outline of the first chapter with some friends, so it feels mor...

Happy Halloween...! Oh, it's November already.
Thank you for being here, as always. Here are some sketches from recently!
This one ended up on Twitter last month after I colored it.

Hi there! If you didn't see the announcement in my previous post, my schedule is changing pretty drastically due to a new job, so I won't have much time for Patreon posts for a while. After this month, sketchbook posts will be for $5 patrons only, and the $1 tier will revert to its original form of "tip jar." If...
2021-10-10 09:42:13 +0000 UTC View PostHi!
Once again, it's been a very busy month for me! Long story short, I started a new job! One I'm very excited about! But! It won't leave me much time for other projects, so... Starting next month, the $1 tier will revert to a tip jar, and sketch posts will continue to be uploaded for $5 patrons. (There will be one more $1 sketch post bef...

The CQ retrospective series is over, as you know, and I haven't really settled on anything to replace it...! But at least until I do, I'd like to post monthly updates on whatever project I'm working on, with insights about my process and approach here and there. This post will be the first ...

I don't have very many sketches from this month, it turns out...or at least not sketches I can show, for various reasons. Here's what I can show, mostly from my still-developing project:

Welcome back, and thanks for being here. This is it...the final episode! Well, not quite, but we're almost there.
Since Chapter 5 is the most recent chapter of Cucumber Quest, this retrospective might provide a more up-to-date look at my comic process... But it was still 2+ years ago, and I was suffering from extreme burnout at th...

Hi again! I hope you've been well this month. This one will be a two-parter.
Interlude 4
This interlude was the first that didn't cut immediately from Cucumber to Caketown Castle, instead following Besty down the bathtub drain to an unknown location.
I hope you've been well. Here's a roundup of some art you may have seen already, then a few new sketches from recently. 98% of the space in my brain has been occupied by the same project lately, so I think this post will be completely that.
I cut ...
2021-03-30 02:51:37 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy! Let's get started.
Chapter 4 began mid-2016, after I'd taken a few months off to publish a completely different comic. Naturally, readjusting was a little tough, and I struggled through the first few scenes...but I think it resolved into something I can still be proud of.
Hi everyone, and thanks for being here, as always. Once again, I've collected some sketches to show you. A couple of them are reposts from Twitter, but lately I've been thinking the convenience of having all of my recent sketches gathered together in one place is nice.

I forget if I named this character in the last post. This is Lia, Loic's daughter.

Chapter 2
This chapter was a big turning point for CQ, and still the point at which I think the comic becomes "good," so I'm excited about this one.
Welcome back! It's a short episode this time.
This break from the Nightmare Knight's "dark lord voice" is a little too early, I think, but ...
