As usual, I'm posting this to the feed since it's easier to read in vertical scroll format. But it's also up in the Secret Gallery with a new password, so I'll send out the message in just a moment.

Whew! This one's a little late in the day because architecture. XD I got a little spoiled by the entire last scene that was all easy rock walls.

New chapter is here! I expect the next chapter to come around this same time next month. Since May is a Sketch Tier month, I won't have too much time to dive into the chapter until June. We only have a few chapters left of book 2!
Don't forget, you can usually find some enthusiastic discussion about the latest Merritt's S...

At last, the current scene has finished, so I'm posting the latest scene compilation!
I already gave an update on the status of public pages to the early access folks, but here it is for everyone:
We're also only one page away from hitting our 6-month page buffer for DOTU to return to the public. But, as with the last round, we...

We're also only one page away from hitting our 6-month page buffer for DOTU to return to the public. But, as with the last round, we still need to return to the threshold of 350 patrons before public pages...

This one was inspired by a comment by an awesome member on Discord! As usual, I posted it here since it's easier to read minicomics here, but it also went up in the offsite Secret Gallery and I'll send out the new login in just a second.
Here's the full comic!

Woot, new chapter! I hope you enjoy the back-to-back updates! But alas, I now have to catch up on other DOTU-related obligations (rewards, next page, etc.), so the next chapter will come with the usual wait. I'm aiming for mid-May.
Monthly $5 letters and the Secret Gallery illustration will come a few days after the end o...

I hope you guys are doing all right! New chapter is here! I'm also planning the next chapter for next week. It'll be a very busy week, so cross your fingers for me! :D
As usual, you can read the new chapter inline or download the attached PDF.
I'd hate to see her with a birthday cake.....
Coming up, we have a single-panel page and a 2-page spread. For the sake of pacing, I'll probably post them all together, so the next update will technically be a block of 3 pages.
We'll also have two weeks in a row of Merritt's Story updates! The new chapters will come this T...

New page, hot off the press! So hot it's scalding :O
Not too much news at the moment, I'm just plugging along. I'm flying through revisions on the next several Merritt's Story chapters, so I'm hoping to get those in sooner rather than later. We'll have at least another chapter this month, possibly more. I'm hoping t...

Okay, so it's a few days past April 1 - but this is a story, not a prank on you guys, so I think it's all right. ^_^ Thanks for waiting for this one! See below for the minicomic. It's also in the secret gallery, but of course minicomics are easier to read here.

This chapter is a little shorter, but every chapter from 21 to the end is a Big Deal. I'm aiming to get the next chapter in by late April, but as I said, we're in Big Deal territory, so thorough revising/editing is key. :)

March email and snail mail letters have been sent! We got a guest letter from Yackley this month. :)
I'm finishing a custom card portrait today. Here's what's coming after that:
A little late, but as promised, here it is! Big thanks to everyone for understanding. I was a little too scatterbrained to reply to comments about the delay, but I REALLY appreciated them! <3
Anyway, I like this page. ^_^

New chapter is here! And we'll have a new DOTU page on Monday!
And, for anyone who's wondering - For now, my work schedule hasn't changed. I can't control the long term, but in the near term I'm still getting freelance work. I also don't have any immediate need to decrease production on DOTU. I'm staying holed up at...

This week has been an adventure! With freelance running overtime and me having to buy a new printer on short notice (because even expensive inkjets cost as much to repair as to replace ;_;), I'm a bit behind.

I gotta admit, that first panel with Jordana and Gray was very satisfying to draw. XD Though she probably had to jump to reach him.
