Chapter 12 finale

Sorry for getting this up late, I'm queueing the beginning of chapter 13 right now so I don't forget!!

2018 sketchbook tour

I did it, I recorded my first ever sketchbook tour video! It's for my March-July sketchbook from 2018, an interesting period as it's when I was changing gears to go from Chirault to Wychwood. 

Now that I've dropped it here I'm realizing the audio is very quiet-- I'll have to see if I can fix that in future uploads. Soon!

I'm hop...

Stickers special offer!

Time to see how this special offer feature works! :D

SO for a two-week window, everyone pledging to this patreon will get a patreon-exclusive sticker sheet! That means new and existing patrons alike-- everyone should get a prompt to update your address through the system (you don't need to update your pledge or anything to qualify, just be...

Finished Currency microcomic!

I finished the colours on this sucker! This was created for the Hiveworks Microcomic hashtag event in August, so it'll be going up on Twitter on August 31, but you all get to see it early :B

Chapter 10 edits-- revision process

I decided to make some changes to the last scene in the current chapter-- subtle ones, but it changes the meat of the scene. Anyway, I figured I'd give folks a peek at the revision stages!

Chater 10 cover (with WIP)

In preparation for chapter 10 starting next week, I did a cover! :D

The actual process for this one was pretty simple, but it took ages to decide on what imagery to put in it that would be interesting but not overtly spoilery.

Chapter 10 batch 2

Here is some more chapter 10!! Including another recently-inserted scene that I retroactively added just a couple of weeks ago..... uh, a-anyway.

Some more art experiments

I busted out my dip pen and also tested out Clip Studio's Colourize functions, just for fun, and this was the result. I kinda like it, I'm considering making prints of this for TCAF (which I'm going to be tabling at this year)

Merch arrival!!

Aaahhh! I just unwrapped it for the first time and I'm very very excited about all this SWAG, though I'll have to find a clean backdrop and take proper photos later.

Sneak peeks in the meantime!!

Finished colours on chapter 10 opening scene!

All done!! (Folks in the discord may have seen this already hehe)

More chapter 10 pages incoming soon!

new scene for beginning of chapter 10

what it says on the tin!

Stickers!!

The background is a mockup of what it might look like once actually put to paper-- what I'm planning is a run of these four die-cut sticker designs, printed in opaque ink on metallic backing paper. So the spots where the bg texture is showing through, will be metallic on the final stickers! I put in the order for these and I'm really excited to ...

Emojis/expression meme time!

I've been working on filling out this meme using prompts people toss me for Wychwood or Chirault characters along with a number/letter code! I've gotten through quite a few already, and here are the results, which have been pretty handy for fleshing out the custom emojis in my discord server XD

Feel free to toss in more prompts for any of ...

Q&A post 3!

Anonymous over on tumblr asked some really good Q&A questions! I'm not sure when they were asked, because I didn't spot any kind of notification, so if they were waiting for months.... I'm sorry! 

Anyway, I made answers for them all, and had a blast doing so. Making this post public, cuz, happy holidays!

Chapter 9 cover timelapse

I finished the cover for chapter 9! And recorded the process of making it :U

I'll post the cover on its own soon!

Tiara's new situation (it isn't great).

First 7 pages of chapter 7 (hehehe)

I haven't designed the cover for chapter 7 yet-- gotta get on that soon! But in the meantime, since chapter 6 will be wrapping up on the site soon, here's the first chunk of pages. :)

For some reason I just can't leave chapter 3 alone

I'm about to add yet another page to it! (First page is included for context) This time it's for, uh, plot related reasons. I did this quick draft in Photoshop, will be working it up pretty soon. Would anyone be interested in watching me stream that process on discord? :o

Edits to chapter 3!

I updated a couple of scenes in chapter 3! These ones didn't have problems so much as... there were a couple of details pertaining to Felix's backstory/status within Wychwood that I didn't feel had been adequately conveyed. So in this round of revisions I tried to make those things a bit clearer!

The new pages are already live on ...

Melted cutting board meme

So this particular meme redraw goes with a specific video: https://twitter.com/MtfoxX3/status/1336405885208301568

I updated my Clip Studio program, and I also used this page to test out the new timelapse feature! I attached the resulting video to...

Yelling

I was looking through some old files recently and found this WIP-- it was already fully inked, so I threw some colours on it to finish it up. It was originally started in 2018, before I even launched the comic, haha.

Another meme

This one is kind of like a summary for the entirety of Wychwood Volume 1 XD
