It's so great to see how well the latest comic did. It even got front page on imgur and it seems people have already taken to using the last couple panels as reaction images. Amazing. Especially considering how much I struggled with this one and how close I was to going with a...

Haha okay so this whole baby binning thing is now a trilogy. I didn't expect to go this far with it but more surprisingly there has been a distinct lack of people begging me to stop. So DO I GO FURTHER WITH THE SAGA? You are my patrons after all, your opinions are important :0
While I like the idea of exploring it further. My mai...

Right we're doing weekly posts now, so I'm gonna have to BULK these ones, good thing they're directly related to each other so it makes sense.
Fun fact: Thinking up the dad joke for the first comic took longer than everything else in the comic creation process. I didn't want to just find a dad joke someone else used, wouldn't have felt right. &nb...

Hey everyone! Just so you guys are in the KNOW, I will be streaming Sega Bass Fishing tomorrow at 9PM GMT over at twitch.tv/deathbulge . That's right, the one game that I've referenced several times throughout Deathbulge's history. Feel free to pop in f...

Hello! Here's January's batch, which includes both of the really well-received Death tattoo comics. It's crazy to think that something I created has been tattooed on multiple people's skin. THAT'S MAD. I LOVE IT.
This update also marks the last of the MONTHLY POSTS. From now on I will be posting weekly with every comic release. So each comic gets...

Here's some attempts at an ALTERNATE animation method because doing everything in frame-by-frame animation would be insane and I'm sure you guys would like to play this game before humanity expires.
NOTES: That idle animation is probably too aggressive in movement for an idle animation and yeah the running animation could use a lot of work and th...

Hey guys I figured it was fitting that today I would share with you a sneak peek about a story themed around THE END OF THE WORLD.
The story will centre around the four horsemen of the apocalypse. This is a rough sketch of one of the pages where they're actually carrying out their job. Which is interesting cause most of the book they are NOT. The...

I missed out comic 372 cause there's no development sketches of 372 cause I mean have you SEEN THAT COMIC? Haha, oh man. Talk about BASIC. I felt bad not uploading anything on that Monday while I was away but maybe I shouldn't have sullied the archive. It was a tough call! I hope you guys liked it at l...

Hello! As promised here is the hot christmas bundle. Featuring 10 comics that never made it to the Deathbulge archive for one reason or another, that's right, TEN WHOLE COMICS. This includes the *REAL* first ever Deathbulge comic I ever drew (pictured above). Featuring the origins of the long-neglected original Deathbulge band. WHOA!!...

Interesting fact about comic #368: The original scan (attached above) actually dates back to 13th August 2013! It was a planned sequel to the WHAP comic as you can see by the hairstyle similarity. But I felt it wasn't WORTHY to be a sequel to WHAP. I w...

Oh yes, another BATCH, also HOT PATREON EXCLUSIVE NEWS: I have started working on more books, you heard it here first. I have booted up a new InDesign DOCUMENT and have started putting together some things. The goal is to have THREE BOOKS released next year. One being a collection of the GOOD NEWER comics you have ...

Hey guys! I guess it's a little late but thought I'd throw down a Halloween-themed BEHIND THE SCENES special. The halloween comic I did last year featuring the spooky car horn certainly went down a treat back when I first posted it, and is still one I look back very proudly on...

Hello!! Boy was this a cool month to be in on the Patreon party. September saw some big hitters for sure, especially the post-it note one. But my personal favourite part of this month's batch is the abundance of MUSCULAR SKELETON ACTION.
The above image features (among other things) the original sketchbook page of a muscular skeleton drawn during...

Ahh, a little later than hoped, my internet has been terrible lately. BUT IT IS GOOD RIGHT NOW so let's write and post this real quick before it goes out again oh god.
A couple of comics this month were visually intensive so I took it upon myself to capture EXTRA process shots such as the INTERNET ONE (as seen in the image above) so you ...

As promised here is some more RPG concept art. This time the focus is on much more interesting aspects of the game: characters, monsters and SICK PIPE ORGANS.
The preview pic shows a bunch of people that have a major TRIANGLE THEME, it sure was fun designing them with that gimmick in mind. They are very pointy so don't get too close when you're c...

Hello again! Here's another fresh new wave of behind the scenes action for you. Featuring my grossest drawing yet! At least that's what I think. Anything in my archive that you feel is grosser than the skinbeard above LET ME KNOW. I'd love to hear what I drew that made you gag the most. #GETSICK
Also stay tuned for some game character conc...

Hello! I told you I was gonna share some RPG stuff with you, but it was just deciding WHAT to share. Cause y'know. I don't want to spoil anything but at the same time I should probably build some hype.
So yeah here's 2 very rough sketches of non-town areas, GOLF HILL and CAVE THAT LOOKS LIKE THE INSIDE OF A VERY WAXY EAR UGH GROSS, not...

Oh boy! Hello again everybody. This update is pretty LOADED with multiple drafts/alternate takes for each comic, in fact there's 3 versions of the EU comic! Lots of struggling on this month's jokes I guess haha. So glad the EU one did so well cause damn that took me a while.
I have a nagging feeling that the unused version of the pirate comic...

Here it is, the thrilling May collection that features hot fashion tips, swing techniques and that one Bulgémon comic that you've probably seen a thousand times over at this point. I am still recovering from how well it did haha, i mean jeez. Thanks!!
As you can see there were plenty of REJECTED Bulgémon, but let's never speak of them ;...

Did a couple of bonus friday updates last month so there's quite a lot in this one! Including some tasty DELETED SCENES.
The last panel to the April Fools comic was changed at the very last minute. The first one had a lot of fun visual gags but overall I feared it was just a BIG MESS of trying too hard to be clever. Which is a shame cause...

Someday I will probably draw what I visualise when I type out "behind the bulge", and it will not be pretty.
BUT YES, here is the latest dev fun. This was an interesting month because it was the month where I changed to ALL-DIGITAL. The God Prank comic (331) being the last comic to be drawn on paper and scanned in. You'll notice that the proc...

Here's another result of me having fun with this new drawing process. The cool thing about going all-digital is that now I can make gifs documenting the entire process! HOORAY! Haha I'm glad Patreon supports gif posts. Otherwise this would've fallen on its arse for sure.
But yeah this is based on a sketch I did during a weekend in Birming...

Hey guys! As you may well be aware I've been having some site troubles that have taken much longer to fix than they should.
