Important Info for Canadian Patrons
Patreon emailed me the following:
On July 6th we sent an email with updates about required sales tax on Patreon. We’ve since received additional guidance from Canadian tax authorities and need to make a correction.
Our email said that the GST rate we’ll charge is 5% across Canada, other than Quebec where the QST rate is 9...
The Poking Around TL Notes Journey Begins!
Good news, Poking Around fans! I’ve finally completed the first part of the Complete Companion Guide, which you can find in the Poking Around folder in the Archives. (Those who haven’t yet got the keys to the Archives, please hold on until next month; Patrons agreed it was best to do this on a monthly rotation).
The End of Exclusivity?
I get it. Partially.

I know about my content getting leaked and I have mixed feelings.
On the one hand, I guess I should take it as a badge of honour that I'm still worth cribbing from (which is why I switched to a pay-upfront system years ago when this happened before, so at least I got something back). On the other hand....

Man, I thought about this page way too much…
A lot had to be cut out so the story wouldn’t grind to an absolute halt, but I hope this glimpse into Bo’s abode proves insightful, given what we are about to go into this story. I’m working on it so hopefully the wait won’t be too long.
In the meantime, please do enjoy ...

An Update on Sales Tax/VAT/GST
(Patreon emailed me to post this, though I'm told Patreon will email Patrons directly on 12th July 2021, ahead of the change being enacted on 15th July 2021).
Hi everyone,
I wanted to give you a heads up about a small change to required tax on pledges. Patreon already adds sales tax/VAT/GST to pledges from patro...
Poking Around Pt 109
It’s been just over a month from the last page, but I had a lot of trouble figuring out what Kuroki’s house would look like. I’ve never seen the interior of a plane’s wheel bay before and they’re way roomier than I initially expected. Whoops. Still, I think I managed to get something decent together. Not as much has progres...

As Saruto and Tori make their exit from the story, so do the dialogue-free panels of this comic. The sequence is a shout-out to one of my favourite modes of fast travel in a video game. Anyway, it is just a few more pages until the new arc begins! Please...

Sorry to have kept you waiting! It’s been a very long time since I last drew one of these pages, hasn’t it?
Granted, not much happening plot-wise but I wanted to further reinforce how close Bo and Saru’s relationship is. And I’ve finally drawn Huki-Moana-Tan House from above, to show where Saruto and Tori were sparring, homemade
What's on for April? No foolin'.
This isn't a joke or prank or anything, just a simple update.
I'll pause Patreon next week once the payment cycle for March is complete (probably next Friday as Easter is a four-day weekend here in the UK). This means that any pre-existing Patrons who stay on the same tier shouldn't get charged (so if you c...
Human Studies
So I was clearing out my hard drive and came across something I'd completely forgotten: my initial sketches exploring what the human versions of the Howlers, Corvix, Thymos and Peyra (who back then was a dormouse) would look like in Flora-Fauna-Fen Survive.
This was from way back in January 2015.

Beginning Anew for Easter
I’m going to step back from producing Patreon content next month.
I’m struggling to fulfil my final two objectives for the month (the next page of Flora-Fauna-Fen SURVIVE and the Patrons’ Choice image), I’ve not thought of anything for next month’s poll and wanderlust has set in – figuratively speaking of course.

Here’s another almost wordless page that despite its simplicity, it was a bit of an ordeal to put together.
There was a more elaborate health check sequence planned but it got shortened drastically. Mostly because this page would never be done, so any medical majors don’t come for me, I’m just an ignorant prokaryote (very simple bact...

Thank you so much to everyone who has been a Patron thus far. The new Tiers will be enacted around about the 8th, or sooner, depending on when the payment cycle is completed. If you haven’t yet saved the images you like under the old tier system, then I’d advise doing so now. Old posts will soon be deleted. You w...

I apologise for not having much to upload here on Patreon, so please accept this as a placeholder.
