Behind-the-Bulge #384

Dan Martin post Behind-the-Bulge #384 from patreon

It's so great to see how well the latest comic did. It even got front page on imgur and it seems people have already taken to using the last couple panels as reaction images. Amazing. Especially considering how much I struggled with this one and how close I...

Dan Martin post Behind-the-Bulge #383 from patreon

Haha okay so this whole baby binning thing is now a trilogy. I didn't expect to go this far with it but more surprisingly there has been a distinct lack of people begging me to stop. So DO I GO FURTHER WITH THE SAGA? You are my patrons after all, your opinions are important :0

While I like the idea of explorin...

Dan Martin post Behind-the-Bulge 381 + 382 from patreon

Right we're doing weekly posts now, so I'm gonna have to BULK these ones, good thing they're directly related to each other so it makes sense.

Fun fact: Thinking up the dad joke for the first comic took longer than everything else in the comic creation process. I didn't want to just find a dad joke someone else used, wouldn't ...

Behind-the-Bulge January 2017

Dan Martin post Behind-the-Bulge January 2017 from patreon

Hello! Here's January's batch, which includes both of the really well-received Death tattoo comics. It's crazy to think that something I created has been tattooed on multiple people's skin. THAT'S MAD. I LOVE IT.

This update also marks the last of the MONTHLY POSTS. From now on I will be posting weekly with every comic release...

More Animation Experiments

Dan Martin post More Animation Experiments from patreon

Here's some attempts at an ALTERNATE animation method because doing everything in frame-by-frame animation would be insane and I'm sure you guys would like to play this game before humanity expires.

NOTES: That idle animation is probably too aggressive in movement for an idle animation and yeah the running animation could use ...

New Book Project Sneak Peak

Dan Martin post New Book Project Sneak Peak from patreon

Hey guys I figured it was fitting that today I would share with you a sneak peek about a story themed around THE END OF THE WORLD.

The story will centre around the four horsemen of the apocalypse. This is a rough sketch of one of the pages where they're actually carrying out their job. Which is interesting cause most of the bo...

Hope you're all enjoying 2017 so far!  

I missed out comic 372 cause there's no development sketches of 372 cause I mean have you SEEN THAT COMIC? Haha, oh man. Talk about BASIC. I felt bad not uploading anything on that Monday while I was away but maybe I shouldn't have sullied the archive. It was a tough call! I hope yo...

Interesting fact about comic #368: The original scan (attached above) actually dates back to 13th August 2013! It was a planned sequel to the WHAP comic as you can see by the hairstyle similarity. But I felt it wasn't WORTHY to be a...

Dan Martin post Behind the Bulge September 2016 from patreon

Hello!! Boy was this a cool month to be in on the Patreon party. September saw some big hitters for sure, especially the post-it note one. But my personal favourite part of this month's batch is the abundance of MUSCULAR SKELETON ACTION.

The above image features (among other things) the original sketchbook page of a muscular s...

Ahh, a little later than hoped, my internet has been terrible lately.  BUT IT IS GOOD RIGHT NOW so let's write and post this real quick before it goes out again oh god.

A couple of comics this month were visually intensive so I took it upon myself to capture EXTRA process shots such as the INTERNET ONE (as seen in the ...

Dan Martin post More RPG Concept Art + HOT INFO from patreon

As promised here is some more RPG concept art. This time the focus is on much more interesting aspects of the game: characters, monsters and SICK PIPE ORGANS.

The preview pic shows a bunch of people that have a major TRIANGLE THEME, it sure was fun designing them with that gimmick in mind. They are very pointy so don't get too...

Hello! I told you I was gonna share some RPG stuff with you, but it was just deciding WHAT to share.  Cause y'know. I don't want to spoil anything but at the same time I should probably build some hype.

Oh boy! Hello again everybody. This update is pretty LOADED with multiple drafts/alternate takes for each comic, in fact there's 3 versions of the EU comic! Lots of struggling on this month's jokes I guess haha. So glad the EU one did so well cause damn that took me a while.

I have a nagging feeling that the unused version...

Did a couple of bonus friday updates last month so there's quite a lot in this one! Including some tasty DELETED SCENES.

The last panel to the April Fools comic was changed at the very last minute. The first one had a lot of fun visual gags but overall I feared it was just a BIG MESS of trying too hard to be clever. Wh...

Someday I will probably draw what I visualise when I type out "behind the bulge", and it will not be pretty.

BUT YES, here is the latest dev fun. This was an interesting month because it was the month where I changed to ALL-DIGITAL. The God Prank comic (331) being the last comic to be drawn on paper and scanned in. You'll ...

Here's another result of me having fun with this new drawing process. The cool thing about going all-digital is that now I can make gifs documenting the entire process! HOORAY! Haha I'm glad Patreon supports gif posts. Otherwise this would've fallen on its arse for sure.

Hey guys! As you may well be aware I've been having some site troubles that have taken much longer to fix than they should. As a result I have been unable to post my latest comic which is a shame because it's one that I'm particularly proud of.  But then I thought HEY, this simply will not do for my lovely patrons, so I dec...
