Hello and happy new year! These past two weeks have been restful for me, but between last week, this recent page update and this week it sort of adds up to one normal week of posted content, so thank you for your kind patience and support. This week I have two new minis to share, but they each have a bunch of word...

Hello again! Thank you for your patience with me this week- on Friday I really only had this page inked and I didn't want to crunch out something more substantial on Christmas, so I guess I made up for it by painting really quickly, because this is the textless page before the comic goes up on the main site.
There...

Hello, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! This week I did a bit of work, but I also wanted to rest for the holidays, so I'm just going to post my minicomics, since I could spend all day typing up about the main comic page. I made progress on it- inking and flatting it- but I'll have more progress to share next week. &n...

Hello! This week I got another batch of minis ready. I burned a bit of my buffer the other week so I wanted to do a couple more to get back up to a 20-page lead, which I'm at right now. This week's strips bring us from #40 to 42, so let's hop in and get to it then!

Hello again! Today's a bit of a late edition, thank you for your patience. I've got the sketch phase of a new page ready for you, so it's time to expand a bit on the storyline!
The last few pages have been a bit of a segue to address an important issue and set up future interactions, but "I think I might act...

Hello again! Thank you for your patience last week, I wanted to get that page up and didn't really have the time to spare for extra minicomics, but this week I wanted to get back into the swing of things so I've got two new strips for you. I also have a fairly large gamedev art post to write up after this post, so...

Hello again! This week I happened to hit a hot streak and got the whole comic inked and painted just in time for Friday, so since I can't get anything else drawn by tomorrow afternoon this is going to be my work report for the week as well. I put off working on minis to put my free time into getting this page out ...

Okay so, this is my first holiday week working on this minicomic project. I managed to get a new page sketched, but I only got two minis drawn in this batch, as opposed to the three or more I've usually done. This is fine, though, since it evens out with my buffer. Brain-wise this also means if I get three more do...

Hello again! This has been a busy week but I managed to get the next page started, so I've got that to share with you today. This one's got a bit of weight behind it so there's a lot for me to talk about, so I'm gonna jump right into it.
Over the course of however many pages I've spent a lot of time setting ...

So it's been about 24 hours since my last post, but I'm pleased to say I was able to knock out the rest of this comic in that time and so I have a textless version to share with you now!
Compared to the block-in phase, adding all the details in the background really turned this scene from a big grey box int...

As I've been working on these minis for a little while I've received words of encouragement from my friends, but also they wanted to get into it too and make some suggestions for strip ideas. Since these are so simple and self-contained that's an easy thing to accommodate I'm happy to put them into my ideas list. ...

Hello again! This has been a fairly eventful week- our longtime website host had been bought by another company and merged with a third company that didn't support features that make the site work, so we had to find a new host and transfer the site over to keep it running smoothly. We got those fires putting out a...

This has been a productive week for me. I drew three minicomics last weekend- all in one 24-hour span, in fact!- and that put me up to 32 strips! And since #12 went up today that means I'm officially just flatly 20 strips ahead, I've hit my target buffer! Also, being able to do all three in one day is probab...

Hello again! It's been about a day since my previous page went up, and I've met my personal challenge to get the next page sketched in time for today's write-up! Some of the panels are a bit fast and loose but I got what I needed blocked in so I can just start pushing forward on this page. So anyways, let's ...

Hello again! I think last Friday I anticipated having this page done by the end of next weekend, but I'm happy to report I have the textless page available for you today! There's like two speech bubbles on this page so there's not a lot of writing before it all goes up, I'll be quick with my writeup for this post.
Hello hello! Once again I've got a batch of new minicomics to share with you! I posted #010 officially today and I've got minis #027 to 029 to share today, which means if I can do three more by next week I'll have 12 posted officially and 32 in the tank, which puts my buffer right at the 20-strip mark I've been ai...

Hello again! I have a new progress report to share this week. I didn't make as much progress as I had wanted to this week but I think many of us didn't get as much done as we'd set out to either, so I don't feel too bad about it (I still feel bad). I did pick up a new painting trick this week, however, so I ...

Here we are, another week in, another batch of minicomics to share. I'm still having a lot of fun making these, just throwing whatever silly idea I have onto a strip and then following through and letting it ride. I got another three strips done this week, which I think is a sustainable amount to balance with the ...

Hello again! This week I have a new page sketch to share, which if you've been following this blog for the past few months you will know I'm really excited about. I've been super exhausted drawing that outdoor crowd scene in an intersection so moving to this nice indoor scene is really energizing me to push forwar...

Hello again! This week I put up a new main-comic page, I thought about getting a jump on the next page for today but I was really exhausted and I had a bunch of other tasks I needed to attend to, so I decided to just let this partial week be about minis and gamedev- there'll be a games post coming up after this one. &nb...

Hello again! Here is the unlettered page preview before I finish it up and put it online. This one has been a stressful one so I'm really glad to be through this whole crowd scene.
For the couple months that I've had this scene going I've had these two or three screenshots I took from page 600 open on tabs on my l...

I'm really happy this week. My goal for this project was to hit 20 strips drawn before I began posting them, and with a little bit of crunching I managed to reach that goal before the first strip went up on Tuesday. This project is officially live now, so I'll be maintaining my buffer as best I can. I think ...

Hello again! Another week has come and gone, I hope it has treated you well. I have made progress on the next comic page, I'm looking to get this page finished this weekend, or by Monday at the latest, so today I'll talk a little bit about where I am in the process.
The roughest part of this page is probably...

This week I made some more progress on building my comic buffer, and I feel confident enough that I've decided I'm gonna start publishing them this coming Tuesday. I originally updated Dead Winter on a Tuesday/Friday schedule so I'm gonna go back to that for these minis. I managed to draw three more this week arou...

Hello again! This has been a bit of a slog week for me- I can't explain why, it's one of those times where your batteries are drained. I think I've been trucking along pretty well during covid quarantine but this week I might have just gassed out a bit, and I didn't get as much work done as I'd have liked, but I did mak...

Hello again! This week I have a pretty content-heavy update to share with you. Over the weekend I'd initially thought about just doing a weekend run of minicomics and then shifting over to the main comic, but like how I have alternated between comic weeks and gamedev weeks I decided to spend this whole week making...

Okay, so! I've had this little project I've been thinking about for a while, and this week I finally committed to making it real.

Hello again! This week I made a pretty good push on getting this page painted and ready to post. It's a bit of a process to create the look I want for my comics but it's fun to pause every Friday and see how it's coming together.
Painting comics in this style is very labor intensive, so one of the practices...
