Quick update

Hey friends! Just wanted to send out another quick updated … Thanks again to my early patrons for standing by through this "beta period." It's taken me longer to get Loop Garoo rolling than I'd hoped, with both work and family issues cropping up recently.

However! I'll be reorganizing the campaign over the next month ...

Sketch: Eurus

Here's another recent sketch done of the third coyena (coyote/hyena hybrid) sibling: Zephyrus and Austeria's younger brother, Eurus. He's 24 years old, and is both a semi-professional skateboarder and a graphic artist. He doesn't have quite the heavy build his older siblings have, but he still works hard to keep in shape and ...

Sketch: Austeria

Here's another sketch I did recently of another of the coyenas (coyote-hyena hybrids). This is Austeria, Zephyrus' younger sister. She's 28 years old and works at a university studying and researching biotechnology. When she's not at work or exercising to keep up with her older brother, she's usually out clubbing with friends...

Sketch: Zephyrus

Hey friends! Sorry this past month has been quiet; I'm working on getting this campaign back on schedule. In the meantime, here's a quick rough sketch I did recently of one of my characters, Zephyrus Coyena. He's a coyote-hyena hybrid, 32 years old and quite a hunk. He manages a gym, offers personal training, and enjoys trave...

Sample Layout: Scene 1.6

I thought some of y'all higher tier patrons might like a little peek into how I handle writing and layout when I'm doing comics. Many years ago I decided to stop writing scripts; I believe they cause too much temptation to overload scenes with unnecessary dialog, and don't force you to think about visual solutions to storytel...

Raccoon Lake Map (Preliminary)

Hey friends! Thank you all so much for bearing with me while I try to get this campaign ramped up … It's been a busy month with freelance and prep for Anthrocon in a few weeks. I promise I'm gonna do something nice for all my "earl...

Thumbnail Layouts

Hey guys! It’s been a busy month, I didn’t want you guys to think I’d forgotten my early adopter crowd!

So, I’m starting to work on character design real soon now … but I’ve also been having a terrific time working from my story outline to create thumbnail page layouts for the comic. It’s a wonderfully cre...

Preliminary Logo

Hey friends! While I'm getting geared up here I thought I'd share this image of the preliminary logo for Loop Garoo. I already posted it to Twitter, but I can share some extra behind-the-scenes thoughts here.

It took me awhile to find a font. I wanted something that would reflect a bit of the chaos and confusion the mai...

Hello!

Hey friends! Well, the campaign is soft-launched. I should be starting to post development work through May, working towards beginning actual comic pages in a few months. If you feel like contributing, please join in! Thank you!

Also, there is a Twitter account for the Loop Garoo comic. Feel free to follow that for addi...
