Harrow!
Just wanted to drop in with a quick update! I've been meaning to let everyone know that I have intentions to add more pages to Swole Mates, but haven't really the chance to communicate what exactly those plans are in detail. The past few weeks have been pretty busy toggling between inking and d...
Over the 2-week break in December, I tried my best to cover as much ground as possible with the ink phase for Meatier Showers 2022: Swole Mates. In the above last panel, Snares looks more like he'd picked up something foul smelling, ...

Before I get too caught up in my own world, I just wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY 2022! No doubt, things have been rough for most of us one way or the other, but I do hope that as we continue to understand and learn more about our current, collective circumstances, that we'll all be able to mov...

Hi everyone!
It's been a month since I streamed online, and may have inadvertently altered my Streamlabs settings while trying to get back into the process. This month's stream was recorded on a much higher resolution than I normally do, so I can't attach the video directly to this post. You can howeve...
During the drafting phase, my main goal is to ensure that "big picture" visual elements such as composition, overall panel and page layout look and feel good when reading left to right. Generally I settle for "good enough" at this st...

Pre-production has historically been the most chaotic phase in making a comic, at least for me, on the account that whatever missteps required to move towards success, need to be made and iterated fast at this stage.
Hi everyone!
While we continue to move steadily towards the end of year, I thought it would be a good time now to reflect with everyone on things, before being too caught up in production again:

There's been a lot of flux lately with Swole Mates. After a 4-hour stream session, the comic has gone from 12-pages to 16. In my current state of mind, I'm not able to make any sound judgement calls, so I'll just share one of the better pages so far:

Here is this month's comic! Thank you so much for supporting the Meatier Showers 10th Anniversary update from start to finish. This was done way before the Fast & Furious "family" meme went around. Given the time gap between the movie and this, I do hope that it doesn't detract the comic's i...

Hope everyone's been doing well and staying safe! If you've been following the previous few updates, I imagine it must be confusing keeping track of how things are going and what the comic as a whole is actually shaping up to look like.

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to drop in with a quick update. Over the weekend, I was able to make some breakthroughs and get draft pages 09 - 12 down (not featured in this post). While they have been able to capture the major moments of Swole Mates, the climax feels abrupt and the growth sequence needed mo...

For this month's updates, we'll be looking at how things have been shifting around in the second half of Swole Mates. As of this writing, I'm pretty happy with everything between pages 1 - 5. As you can see below, things are pretty straightforward:

First and foremost. thank you so much for your kindness and patience in sticking around with me while I was busy sorting out the month. There was a convergence of several matters in June that took the figurative wind out of me. Number one, was the fact that my 2021-07-27 12:45:36 +0000 UTC View Post
