Wednesday's WIP 5 - Next Tina cycle

Hi!

Here are some nice WIP pictures from the next Tina cycle. Babette sure doesn't look all too happy. Trouble in paradise? ;)

#91 - We can still be friends

Well, Sven probably took a leap too many here.

Seems he got downgraded from "Friend with benefits" to "Friend with no benefits". Ouch.

#90 - Message received

Our lil assassin gets another chance - time will tell if she uses it wisely. As for what's in the message? Who knows for now? (Except for Tina, Babette and the assassins, of course!)

Also this brings this Tina cycle to a close and we'll cut over to Lydia now!

Furthermore, this update will bring the extra Sunday updates to a close for...

#89 - Asasins?

It seems our wannabe assassin at least knows how to spell! Not all hope is lost!

New Patreon Tax

Hi!

Unfortunately there is some new patreon tax incoming on the 1st of July. I've already adjusted the tiiers to the new settings - but it's not very visible how much tax will now be applied (probably also because it varies from region to region). In case you see an increase of your pledge, this is the reason for it - in which case I apolo...

Wednesday's WIP 4 - Early sketches

Today I wanted to share some of the earliest sketches Elena did for me (character studies). There was an earlier version of Tina that looked a bit closer to what Tina looks now, but I specifically asked Elena to make Tina a bit more "butch" and that is where this sketch comes from. (She looks a bit too grumpy in this one. ;) )

#88 - Bad cop, good cop

Not that it was intentional tactics! Still worked, though.

#87 - Unwanted pro tips

Either our lil assassin is not big on personal hygiene or the skunk got her!

#86 - Where's Wally? (assassin edition)

Babette might get a little shock when she finds out how close that one was!

Lydia Grimsdottir

Today (again) and old picture instead of a WIP.

This is pretty much the earliest picture of Lydia - like Tina's picture, it's also around 10-15 years old, drawn by Austin Stewart.

In her early incarnation, Lydia had more tattoos than just the Leviathan circling around her body, also including norse runes because I envisioned her as k...

A little head's up ...

… that we (unfortunately) are not meeting the community goal for Patreon extra strips anymore at the moment.

The reason is that for the past two months we’ve had one patron that was making a big donation which greatly helped to meet that goal, but unfortunately that patron has left u...

#85 - Angels blow those bubbles

Sometimes you get what you wished for and are still sorely disappointed. Expectation vs Reality!

#84 - Perils of travelling

She stunk like a skunk!

You might recognize the one panel from the patreon WIP post. :)

#83 - All in a day's work

Tina just can't ignore pleas for help!

Wednesday's WIP 3

Hello!

Another work in progress - this time it's a video of Elena drawing the lineart of Carlotta. We sped the process up a bit for you. :)

#82 - Crouching Cow, Hidden Pitchfork

Now that would be a martial arts movie to watch. The pitchfork wielding farmer protecting his home, fortifying his barn with all kinds of traps!

#81 - Don't hire cheap

Before we see how Babette and Tina are doing, we're looking at the mess they have left behind. Well, not their fault.

#80 - My precious

Gollum didn't think of THAT.

Patrons Exclusive Strip 2 - An enjoyable read

And here we are, the second Patron exlusive strip. You guys are awesome!!! Thank you sooo much for your support! <3

Next month it's going to be Tina's turn!

#79 - Special surprises

Those surprises are always fun! Until the moment they go wrong, of course.

#78 - Bridesmaid tantrum

Paoline is always on the side of true love. And obviously a big fan of Leonardo DiCarpio.

#77 - Surrender is not an option

Carlotta is not giving up so easily! Her schemes might get a little convoluted, though. Wily E. Coyote would be proud of her effort.

Tina Maria Eysenbeiss

Hi, no WIP today, but instead an "oldie, but goodie".

Fun fact - SSS was first concepted about 10 years ago, but a lot of the characters (especially the main ones) have existed for much longer, as they were from playing RPG games (or concepting them).

I don't even know how old this picture is exactly anymore, but it's been somewhere ...

#76 - Good for the gander

So far, Carlotta's plans are not really working out well for her ...

Let's hope she comes up with a better plan!

#75 - Thanketh thee

Seems Carlotta is initiating phase 2. How will Julietta react?

#74 - Good for the goose

That certainly did not work out the way Carlotta thought it would! :D

Wednesday's WIP 2

Here's another WIP (from Tina's next cycle). Also, here's the description I sent to Elena. We have a shared workspace with all my scripts. It misses the scene setting etc., but I wanted to show you a nondescript panel to not give away any surprises. ;)

PANEL 3

Tina (who is trying to eat) is rolling her eyes at Babette, w...

#73 - The sexy messenger

Carlotta is moving in!

Twitter poll up!

To decide if Carlotta should wear a mask on her next mission, I put a poll up on Twitter! (https://twitter.com/serpent_saint) Here you can see her choices. Feel free to vote if you have the time!

Courtesan troubles in times of a pandemic

Actually, I saw several people on TV claiming they are "hit most" by the pandemic, but I can't even imagine how prostitutes are doing nowadays.
