Next two pencils! P64 final goes up tomorrow, and I'm also aiming to get November's Secret Gallery art up tomorrow. As I mentioned, rewards would run a couple days late this month - sketch tier month + holiday + getting back on the weekly page schedule means I have lots to get done. XD
These pages are a little looser than the l...

2019-11-25 18:05:44 +0000 UTC View PostI finished most of this pencil yesterday, so I decided to wrap it up today before doing my freelance. I'm going to try to knock out a couple more pencils over the next few days, but at least part of the weekend will go toward the p63 final.
The text is on for this page, but I'm leaning toward leaving the text off for the pencils for ...

Little preview of the next page. I'm trying to hammer out the next pencil tonight/tomorrow too, but I also have a freelance thing tomorrow, so we'll see how things go!

2019-11-20 02:35:17 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! I've been a bit quiet this month. It's been a couple weeks since I finished moving into the new place, but one of the curses of working from home is that, when you move, you're moving both your home and your work space at the same time. (Oh, and then there's the pets...) The move was a lot more disruptive than I...

Hey guys! I'm officially moved into the new condo! As you might remember, I couldn't send out snail mail letters at the end of October because my computer and my printer moved at different times.

2019-11-07 19:01:53 +0000 UTC View PostIt was just brought to my attention that another Merritt's Story post, the book 1 finale chapters, had the same permissions error that a few Book 2 chapters previously had. Basically, patrons in one of my $2 tiers got locked out of posts back when Patreon changed their permissions system to be tier-based instead of dollar-based. I'd ...
