This sucks.

Drawing pictures of my characters all like "aw man I wish I could post the rest of this but SPOILERS"

Chapter 4 Cameos?

So, it looks like Chapter 4 is going to have a LOT of room for potential cameos. I'm not really sure how to approach this: I want to have them, but I'd love to get YOU guys in there somehow. But I also don't want to be a money-grubber and charge for them. That's dumb. (Though it's currently a reward tier.) What do you guys thin...

My Christmas Gift to You

Hey, Patrons! I already posted this to my deviantArt account, but I wanted to do something special for you this Christmas to show you how much I appreciate what you're doing for me. Unfortunately, I really don't have a lot of time to spend doing something completely new or original, so I had to look back and try to think about...

Chapter 4 Script Status

I just finished writing the first draft of Chapter 4. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like with size 3 pt text. It's 20 pages long, so the second draft will have to be much shorter. I'll do what I can.

A Belated Happy Thanksgiving

It isn't much, but here's the messy filler for tomorrow that I just made that should have gone up on Thanksgiving. I'm going to use this extra week to try and work on the script for Chapter 4 a bit more.

Happy Black Friday!

Hello, Patrons and Buds! I hope you had a happy thanksgiving and are avoiding serious injury in your quest for amazing deals. Nytrinhia and I are taking a week off to be with our families and celebrate the holiday, so there will be unfortunately no update today or Monday, but I hope the filler I make will be satisfactory. Thank...

Got Sick Yesterday

- and in a desperate attempt to survive it, I slept through most of it. It worked well enough, but it also meant that I wasn't really available to stream. I'm sorry.

Livestream (Tonight at 11pm EST)

So I just found out that Nytrinhia will be doing a stream while she colors Monday's update tonight at 11pm (EST). I might give this software she uses a shot, too, so there might be a chance that there will be a simultaneous stream of Nytrinhia coloring and myself inking. I'll update again closer to the launch time with update...

Woodsman

I do so love vignettes.

Awkwaaaaarrrrd.

It's fun to see how things progress, isn't it?

Thanks for sticking with me, guys. Something I just thought of that I want to add is some additional names to the opposite page in that first panel. Can anyone think of some flower names I may have left off? Or do you want a cameo? What about your own name? Or your character's?

CHAPTER 4 STATUS

Scripting is currently underway. The chapter will be entitled "JOB HAZARDS." It is going to be all about Magic, and it is going to be a FANTASTIC thing to draw.

Consider this your Business Report

You know how if you work in an office, and from time to time you're expected to turn in some paperwork that gives your boss an idea of what you're working on and how effective the work is that you're doing? We're going to pretend that this is a report like that, and not something I just want to show someone because I'm really e...

Got the colors back from Nytrinhia for this page! Holy wow do they look awesome.

Page 12 Preview

Brent's telling Thistle a little bit about his pedigree. He's obviously not completely human, and he explains his more exotic family origins on this page. I'm really looking forward to it because a lot of people keep asking me what race he is, and I'm excited to answer those questions. Maybe you can guess what he is with this l...

Pg30 - Corrected

Remember that nightmarish page I showed you before? I fixed it. Here's the original page (what what what were you thinking Past Meg), and the notes for the new pages in the margins. I am aware that this page out of context makes very little sense - but it will eventually. Hang in there!

Ch3 Pg2

The colors aren't back from Nytrinhia yet, but here you are. Establishing shots and I have a love/hate relationship. I certainly hate them when I'm drawing and inking them, but once we get over our differences, I can't help but feel like a proud yet tortured parent.

3.30 Thumbnail

So I'm going through the rest of my template Photoshop file now that I'm really gathering steam - and getting mad at myself. Look at this sketch for the layout of page 30. What was I thinking? Look at how many panels there are! 10 PANELS ARE YOU JOKING. Do you know how much dialogue is going to go on this page?! LOTS. There's no...

Would you be interested in some original artwork?

For the sake of satiating my curiosity, Patrons, I ask you: would any of you be at all interested in receiving original artwork or pages from the comic? I want to make sure you feel super appreciated and special for supporting me and the comic, so what if there was some kind of raffle or special giveaway each month? What are y...

Chapter 3 Cover: how I did it.

So, you might think it's lazy, but honestly, it saved me 6 hours and a massive headache: here's the photo I used for the Chapter 3 cover. I've always been absolutely crap at perspective, and in recent years I've become heavily dependent upon the reference photo to make decent environment and props. Once I figured out the theme...

CHAPTER 1 COVER

Aaaaaand here's Chapter 1! It's really not all that different, is it? BE SURE TO VISIT THE UPDATED PATREON PAGE. Milestones and Reward Tiers have been updated! A new video and description are to follow!

CHAPTER 2 COVER

Well, actually, it's about time! Here's the updated cover for Chapter 2. Chapter 1 is coming momentarily!

CHAPTER 3 COVER

HOLY COW OH MY GOSH! So I finally nailed down a look and theme for the Chapter Titles. I'll upload the other two I made - I hope you like them! CHAPTER 3 STARTS TOMORROW AW YEAH!

Ch3 Pg8 Preview

Oh great - what did you say this time, Lyra?

Pg9 Panel6 - Inks

Here's a time-lapse video of me inking - just for kicks and giggles! I found some screen recording software on my computer that I forgot I had, and I've been playing with it. In short, it's a ton of fun! It's interesting to pull back and watch the process objectively. I'm hoping that maybe I can make the process even faster by...

No Drinking on the Job

(Except for Lyra.) Oh my gosh look at Brent's cute dorky face.

Look at that cute face.

A new Patreon page means more activity on my part, too, so here's a preview of a panel I just did. I'm pretty dang pleased with how it came out - especially Brent's grumpy face. I know I draw a lot of grumpy faces on Brent, and I'm sorry. But I guess when your cheeks are being smooshed by a giant Orc you're allowed to make one.

Heads Up! Changes Are Coming!

Hey, guys! I know I've been MIA for awhile, but I promise I haven't been slacking off or wasting my time. I've been doing a lot of prep work for the next chapter of Daughter of the Lilies, which includes but is not limited to: -the Website Redesign, -Building a Buffer, -Research/Reference Stockpiling for Backgrounds, -**PATREO...

Another preview...!

I finally got over that little hump of Writer's Block! I'm just really excited about this particular doodle and wanted to show somebody. I'm so excited to draw this part! It's going to be adorable and sparkly.

Ch2 - READER QUESTIONS #1

Hey, Patrons! You may or may not have seen today's update (two days late! sorry!), but it's basically just me talking about the process of making a page and why it's going to be a long time before any of them see anything from me. I will, of course, be making updates for you guys here that you can see (while trying not to give...
