1202 - Pencils
Ran into a bit of trouble trying to get this one together, even though I expected it to be a cakewalk. I wasted several days just trying to manage a panel that showed her sitting up confused. After two days of wasting paper on that I compromised with the panel of her inspecting her open hand, hoping it got the point across. I'm not happy I could...

I really poured my all into this... and I'm not even remotely happy with how it came out. At the very least I was able to push through my art block. I did two versions of the final strip and I've included the alternative here as well. I'd love to hear which y'all think is the better of the two! I also included the raw colours without any backgro...

I may have severely underestimated the difficulty involved with inking this one. I decided to fix Trina's pose and retool her mask a bit and what I expected to be a quick fix became an entire Saturday of gnashing my teeth, chugging coffee and hurling obscenities at an uncaring art pad. Then there were the buckles on Sixx's boots. Oi.
I to...
#1201 - Pencils
Well, it's nowhere approaching what I wanted it to be, but I've spun wheels long enough. Also, I wasn't sure which version was better (I prefer the top one since it puts the emphasis on the ponies rather than Blackstone's butt) so I'm posting both. I may try and combine them for the final version. I'll be handling inks over the weekend and the c...

I am truly sorry for the long wait for this one. It's been rough waters lately and this wasn't an easy one. I hope the final product was worth the wait and again, I apologize for the amount of time it took. I decided against any form of dialogue, including the usual moans and gasps you see in these sorta scenarios, though I had left a few spaces...

Well here we are. Halfway through June I *finally* get the inks done on a new strip. Oi. This strip has been a nightmare. Half the original pencils got botched during the inking process, requiring redraws. But by god it's done and I can finally get onto the colours. I expect to have this up over the weekend. Aiming for Saturday, but Sunday is mo...

I can't believe it took almost two weeks to get pencils this shoddy done. In no way am I happy with this, but I can't spend the entire month spinning my heels so I'm running with this one. It'll take a day or two to get this inked properly then another day to colour it, so... I'm thinking the inks will be up Monday with the colours Tues/Wed.
underway
I'm working, believe me, Not much is coming out well though. Here's a look at some of this weekend's rejects. I'll keep at and eventually have something presentable this week. Bear with.

Since most of Trina's body from panel 3 was covered up by Sixx, I'm including the standalone inks for her panel~ Hope y'all enjoy this one, even if it doesn't have dialogue this time around >.>
Onto the next strip! Love y'all!
1199 - Inks
I'm going to have to re-think this whole 'quality over quantity' mentality I've been running on recently. These things are taking far too long and I'm not sure the improvements in art are even pronounced enough to notice. I'm losing far too many readers with this snail's pace so I'm going to have to get back to producing more faster. Sorry to ha...

This was *supposed* to be up yesterday but I kinda passed out and spent half the day sprawled out on my bed without warning. Sorry about that >.> But it's here! Finally! <.< I just hope it was worth the wait?
Thank you for your patience and encouragement y'all. I couldn't (and wouldn't be able to) do this without y'all....
1198 -Inks
This was a serious pain in the ass. That's all I'm gonna say this time. Sorry for the length of time it took to get this one inked, it was... uncooperative. I've included a wip so you can get an idea of the clean up that went into scrapping this together. Colours, mercifully, shouldn't be nearly as difficult and I aim to have the coloured/letter...

Bleah. A whole week of wasting paper just for this. I'm not happy with this one, at all. I wanted more complex imagery of Trina humping away at Sixx with the desperation of her body language on show, but instead I had to settle for the usual sort of boring, single-figure, dutch camera angle crap I've been producing since the 00s. You might even ...

Good lord what a pain in the rump this one turned out to be. Terribly sorry for how long this one took to churn out. It was a struggle and I'm not even sure *why*. Blergh. Anyways, I hope y'all like it, sorry it took so long. I'm going right to work on the next strip after I get some rest.
Thank you for sticking with me and being the wond...

This one has been a struggle. That's all I'm gonna say.
Final coloured and lettered page will be up tomorrow.
Thanks for bearing with me on this one folks. Sorry it's not better.
1197 - Pencils
This is not the original pencils for this strip. That strip is in pieces in the trash. There may have been some alcohol involved. Certainly there was a lot of frustration. And cursing. And the usual array of self-loathing. What I present to you now is a less ambitious take on what I was trying (and failing) to do with the first draft. It's not g...

And we're back! Sorry for the delay, I got caught up tooling around with the colours (and still not happy with them) and time got away from me. Expect a new C6 every week henceforth~ CollarV will resume being a side project I'll do from time to time just for fun, but it won't be replacing any C6 updates anymore~
I want to thank all of you...
C6 1196 B&W
Alright, so this is taking far longer than I expected. Hopefully it's turning out to be worth it. I'll have colours up tomorrow. C6 will resume being my primary focus and update weekly once again.
I'm considering a 6$ tier for monthly Collar(ed)6 updates to help me make ends meet (since I lost a fair bit of my readers when I lost my mind...
Collar6 Returning
I'm working out what to do, thus the lack of an update. I'm not entirely happy with CollarV since I'm making the same mistakes of giving it a narrative when it's supposed to just be bdsm antics. Old habits and all that.
I made the decision earlier this past week to resume work on Collar6, despite everything. I've spent most of my time try...
CollarV #4
Total failure. Below this sad cobbling together of a strip, you'll find the pencils for the original strip before my stupid hands botched several panels during inks. I almost gave up on this one entirely several times. Ultimately I got the plot point I wanted in there, but I'm really not pleased with any of this.
Thank you everyone for yo...
CollarV #3
Alright, so I greatly underestimated the workload this one called for and I apologize for the late delivery that resulted from that. Oi. I added a little look at how the pencils go through inks and cleans up to give y'all an idea of what goes into this. I'm not a professional by any means, but I do spend hours on end trying to correct my shoddy ...

Not so sure I like how this turned out. I'll let y'all guess which character our new gal is, but I think you can easily tell once you see the design sketches for her face I've included below the strip itself~
I've decided to stick with the grounded, no-magic approach to this reboot. As many have pointed out magic (and my tendencies to go ...
CollarV #1
I'm not thrilled at how this turned out, but I'm finding my artistic legs again. I apologize for the long absence between posts and sincerely appreciate all of you who didn't rightfully leave months ago. I'm hoping to up my output as I get a running start again. For now, I'm going to stick to an every Saturday release of CollarV.

CollarV Tomorrow
Hi everyone, just a heads up that tomorrow (Saturday) is the start of C6's reboot, CollarV. Saturdays will then become the target release date for every new strip. I really hope y'all enjoy, I've put a lot of thought into this and where to take it. See y'all tomorrow~
2022-02-18 18:45:05 +0000 UTC View PostHiatus. Reboot.
I'm rebooting Collar6.
The series has increasingly become too violent, too abusive and too detrimental to my mental health. For months I've been sitting here at my desk trying to figure out how to course correct. In that time I've had multiple breakdowns, and after spending a week in a mental hospital again at the beginning of the month,...
Treasure Huntress Sixx - Failed Concept
Behold a week of wasted efforts and futile rewrites. I couldn't even agree on what this was going to be conceptually. At one point, they were going to be superheroes when I was working on this. I finally landed on a Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones thing but by that point the panels I'd penciled out didn't match the script. Laura's tee-shirt was origin...

Heads up: I didn't include either the thank you at the bottom because it just seemed kinda wrong to add that to a strip that's basically the 'all is lost' moment in the story. I left off the logo too because it just seems inappropriate to what's happening here.
This strip was a disaster. The last few months of my life have been a disaster...
1195 Inks
Alright, because this is taking faaaaaaaaaar longer to ink and correct than I anticipated, I'm going to chop #1195 down to this extended panel because it's been too long since I've updated and I can't really afford to wait another couple of days to work out the next two panels.
I'll be colouring this one tonight and tomorrow and have it u...
