Here's a 10x speed video of me spending an hour and a half painting a landscape that'll end up getting covered by a giant speech balloon. XD I may also record some of the character painting and post it later...

2017-09-10 18:23:34 +0000 UTC View PostAs always, current patrons are the first to hear about new openings in limited tiers! The $20 Sketch+Secret Gallery tier is, as the name implies, the slot that gives you both an original sketch in the mail AND offsite secret gallery access. It's always been super limited because I only have time for 17-18 sketches per rotation, and I ca...

This is a free excerpt from chapter 8 of Merritt's story.
So far, I've posted up to chapter 16 in Merritt's story, for a total of 314 pages and 103k words. But since the current scene of DOTU involves Merritt and Troy, I thought it'd be nice to release a free excerpt from one of the chapters showing the first time the two o...

Here's another wallpaper request! It's the chapter 4 cover without text. The pack includes multiple sizes, but you'll generally get the best looking results by choosing the biggest image that's proportional to your screen.
And as a reminder - I always take requests from patrons to make any existing DOTU art into a wallpaper. &n...

Chapter 16 is here! You can read it inline or download the attached PDF. Chapter 17 will come in a couple weeks, most likely 9/7. I would have liked to not have an off week between 16 and 17 either, but alas, I need time for edits, and the upcoming DOTU scene I'm also working on is super labor intensive.
Here's the big size, and it's up on the main site!
Also, a $50 slot just opened up, and as promised, you patrons are hearing about it before anyone else. That's the tier that gets a custom card portrait. If anyone is interested in pledging, please remember that I have a "charge upfront" campaign, so if you pledge before the end of the...

Remember these guys?
This is only kind of a secret since their card deck portraits have been online in discreet places for a while, but it's definitely not common knowledge. So, here's a little extra context for y'all $10.01+ folks who also read Merritt's story:
Left - Mannheim
Right - Devon
This was when Merritt decided t...

Here's chapter 14! You can read it inline or download the attached PDF. Chapters 15 and 16 are both very big, and I want to post them on consecutive weeks, so next week will be an off week. I currently plan to have 15/16 on 8/10 and 8/17, but this could potentially be delayed a week since DOTU is starting up again on 8/7.
As requested, I've created a wallpaper pack for the landscape header illustration from the new website design. The pack includes multiple sizes, but you'll usually get a crisper image if you go with a larger size.
Here's what's included:
Full screen:
800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960, 1280x1024, 1600x1200
Widescreen 16:9

Chapter 13 is here! You can read it inline or download the attached PDF. I'm planning the website launch next week, immediately followed by the DOTU chapter 4 script, so Merritt's story chapter 14 will come the week after, on 7/27.
When last I posted a mockup of the new website here, the header image was only a rough sketch. I finally had a chance to detail in all the art, so here it is! I wanted it low contrast so it wouldn't distract from the comic pages, so it's not reall...

Hey guys, I hope you've been doing well! I wanted to share a little real-time preview of the new website's design. The comic page template and about page are pretty much done, but I still have to upload the site to a live server and fill in the rest of the content. But the overall template was the hard part, and that's at least ou...

Here's chapter 12! You can read it inline or download the attached PDF. This chapter was originally planned for the first week of July, but since I bumped it up a week earlier, we won't have a new chapter next week. Instead, chapter 13 will go up on July 13.
