The characters section of the DOTU website has been completely revamped with new (clickable) profiles for everyone! New pics, info, and other fun stuff. (Desktop version pictured above, but the mobile version has it all too.)
Check it out here!
Okay, here's the rundown again, since I know the numbers got complicated:
Thanks to everyone who's here and pledging right now, we'...

Here's August's Secret Gallery art! It's the finished minicomic about Noble, one of the three South Sphere Queens.
It'll go up in the secret gallery in about an hour or so (because I'm running late and have to put my animals to bed), but it's probably an easier read here anyway! I posted page 1 last month.
Let me know if ...

August sketches are here! Here are sketches 1-6 of 20. It's usually a total of 18, but this month there's one extra for patron turnover and one to replace a past sketch lost in the mail. (So there will be one patron requesting two sketches - you know who you are!) So, expect 4 posts this time instead of the usual 3.

We've completed another scene, so that means all patrons get a scene compilation!
In other important news, we're now only 3 patrons away from 6 months of new public pages! It's still going to be a challenge to hit that goal because the end of the month and beginning of the month are where there's the most patron turnover, but I hope ...

New page! This is the end of the scene, so a scene compilation is coming in just a moment! Since that post will go to all patrons instead of just early access patrons, I'll post news update stuff there!
One thing I'll say here, however, is that I get a huge kick out of Samsid's face. XD
