Reader Question #5

Sorry $5 Patrons. I had to take one last sick day yesterday and actually ACTUALLY got some rest. Stupid cold. 

Ch5Pg1: Step 1

And heeeere we go! 

This is my rough sketch/thumbnail/outline for page one. Right now, the entire script looks like this. There's so much work to do!

Ch5 Script Update #7

Scrapped panel. Darn. 

I actually wrote/drew this months and months ago, but the tone of the fight has completely changed since then. It's going to be much more intense. (!!!!)

ALSO! Chapter 5 is going to start on April 28 (a Thursday) with the chapter cover on the main site, with the first page here exclusively for Patrons! During...

Ch5 Script Update #6

I think I can say at this point that I'm happy with the beginning of the chapter enough to start putting it into production this week, so we'll soon be moving past previews of rough panels and deleted scenes and into thumbnails/sketches for the final pages! Woo hoo!

Today, I'm showing you some of my favorite panels that I can't wait to draw.<...

Ch5 Reader Questions #3

So this ended up being a heckuva lot longer than I thought it would be. I hope it was worth the wait!

EDIT: Posted publicly! When I redesign the website I'm going to make sure it's a format that supports large comic sizes like this. I hate breaking these up into pieces.

Ch 5 Script Update #5

Cool sketch of Wu that I'll end up removing from the script because reasons. Darnit.

So hey, as you can tell, we've moved to digital, which means I'm now on the second pass. This is where things start getting re-arranged and cleaned up so that they're legible and organized, then they'll be proofread by some trusted individuals.

Toda...

Ch 5 Script Update #4

From a really early draft I wrote a couple months ago. Brent asking the hard questions on behalf of the readers.

Augh

This whole "waking Thistle up" part of the script is proving to be a huge hump. I know once I get over it the rest is just going to pour right out but GEEZ this is hard.

Ch 5 Script Update #3

Deleted scene (maybe?) where Orrig yells at guy taking off Thistle's hood? Writing is hard.

Ch 5 Script Status

I have no idea what I'm doing.

Ch4 Reader Questions #2

I'm pretty positive I was asked this exact same question by this exact same person on Tumblr, and I answered it a lot more clearly/sensibly there. I tried finding it so I could use the same wording but... well, we're stuck with this mess.

Hopefully it makes even a little bit of sense.

Ch5 Update #1

I would have written sooner, but I got super sick last week. Like, the fall down shivering and sweating kind of sick. I think the universe was forcing me to actually rest for once.

So here's the dealio, darling Patrons - breaks between chapters always cause me a lot of anxiety because I want to make sure you guys are still getting what you fe...

UPDATED: Just altered the settings so that all patrons can see this today so that I don't have to re-upload it! Go forth and conquer your love life with your new knowledge!

You $5 patrons were nervous, weren't you? You thought you weren't gonna be getting any cool things while I was off doing my own thing, didn't you? WELL GUESS WHAT - YOU SW...

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR READER QUESTIONS AND THE WORKING TITLE OF CHAPTER 5

If you don't feel like scrolling all the way down to find the other post where you can submit your questions, you can just write them here and I'll still see them.

ALSO!!! Chapter 5's current working title is "The Knowing Ones." 

It was originally going to be the title of chapter 4, before I had to split it up into 2 parts.

AUGH DANGIT I FORGOT TO FIX HER WRAPS IN THE FIRST PANEL. I'll update the site with the new one but you guys will forever have the uncorrected on in all its glory. 

I'm so tired. And I'm sick. And I wo...

UH SO HEY I GOT THE JOB

yup

Official Storyboard Revisionist.

This probably most likely means that the break will  be even longer than I had initially expected just so I have some time to adjust and figure out a new schedule. 

Also, Yoko just relocated to Denver, so she's got her own transition she's dealing with, so a long-ish break is ...

Three more pages until the end of the chapter! ARE YOU READY.

I mentioned when I posted this here yesterday for $5 Patrons that there was a blooper - but thankfully nobody noticed it, and the people that di...

DotL Promo

I managed to finish it! Hooray! I'm tempted to make next month's wallpaper out of this little dude, if y'all are okay with that. I'm pretty pleased with it. The folks at Hiveworks needed a promo graphic for a little announcement. I'm told if will go up tomorrow on their Twitter in the early afternoon. Keep an eye out for it!

Working on a thing.

Was supposed to have it done today but I fell asleep! Whoops!

I can't wait to introduce Gwen.

Here's a thing! I figured out some stuff while I was working on it.

Wallpaper #007 - Valentine's Day

Hope y'all are having a fun day with your sweetie - especially if that sweetie is yourself. <3 As usual, let me know if you're missing a size that you need and I'll make one for you.

Sorry I haven't been so active as of late, especially with all these cool things happening - like hitting that $1k milestone! I've just been so o...

Who remembers the chapter title?

Be sure to read the blog post on today's update!

I might have a job?

$3 Patrons saw me mention this off-handedly in their post of the Inks yesterday, but I was going off to do some on-site freelance work for the company my husband works for. 

This just means that I go to an office that's hiring me as a freelancer and do work on their computers for the day/week/whatever time they've contracted me for. It's eas...

Don't tell anyone but writing this dialogue  was really really really fun. 

I am a terrible person.

I think you can learn a lot about a person based on their insecurities. What do you think ...

Legs are still super frustrating.

The perspective is always just weird.

Here's a discarded sketch for page 38. It's actually still mostly the same - the legs have just been tweaked a bit in the final version because legs+perspective = Frustrated!Meg.
