Runaway to the Stars: Pages 41 and 42
Everybody's waking up (except Cheevwut).
Going about the house naked or in loose house-clothes is normal for Tiiliitians. They really only wear the fancy tight full cover outfits in public.

Good morning, Shikaviil Port!
After some internal debate I made Idrisah's hair a tight wavy texture. I had been wanting to change it from stick-straight for a while but had been worried it would be too similar to Gillie's (which is silly in retrospect). I guess the pictures I've drawn of her are retroactively with her h...

Figuring out what Nexus Jovia's actual structure looks like. I was trying to keep to it structurally balanced and feasible while also having undergone naturalistic expansion from a small work outpost to a large city.
A brief history of the expansions:

Stream Schedule Change
Tomorrow's stream is gonna start at 5PM PST. This is because I need a haircut and to run some town errands and my weekend is going to be very busy.
Also, after tomorrow, I'm going to be starting Friday streams at 11AM-ish, because that's what has been happening anyways. The longer days are enabling my bad habit of going...

This page isn't technically finished. I need to make my own art for the landscape panel, but I was doing digital sketches and just getting more and more frustrated and I'd already taken forever dragging my feet developing the rest of this page. SO, In the interest of getting a fucking move on, I've stuck some caba art in ther...

I'm not totally satisfied with the text on this page but it will do for now. Summary is hard when you have an encyclopedia's worth of random facts to draw from,
Also, my print tech was very generous and let me make these insert pages in between chapters full color. It works great for me, who doesn't want to color the wh...

Mostly RttS with Skin Deep fanart and a couple Aftergarden dragons thrown in. I'm thinking of making their tail spade a sort of double-sided hooved foot. It can grip either way, which makes it useful for landing out of flight while holding an object with the rear legs, and for tripodal sprinting.
Some bug ferrets bald i...

That's the end of chapter 1! Wow! It took me way longer than I wanted but in the end I learned how to effectively shade greyscale, use Blender to model environments, have a workflow that isn't impulse based, and keep an update schedule without dying. I feel like I can make pages much faster and better now than when I started ...

A lot of people read the roughs and told me that they thought the placeholder term for the time change was very funny, and they couldn't wait to see what I call it in the finished comic! So... about that...

I'm not totally satisfied with the last panel but this was due yesterday and I gotta move on. I was hoping to finish this page on stream today but I was way more tired from hiking yesterday than I thought I would be @_@

Streaming Days Poll
The last two RttS pages burnt me out so bad that I'm behind schedule, again. Next page was supposed to go up yesterday but it will probably be on Saturday now, since I'm streaming tomorrow.
Speaking of, I've been feeling a pressing need to do artwork that isn't comic pages, for a variety of reasons. Currently I...

Jesus fucking christmas, this was a miserable slog. It turned out nice, though there's a couple of things I'll probably be fiddling with later. But right now I think I'll combust if I have to look at this spread any longer. Enjoy!

It seems I forgot to announce this earlier (sorry) but I'm streaming at 10am pst tomorrow (Saturday), not today, because today's a holiday. Today I'm sleeping in and eating roast pork. The next stream after this will also be on Saturday because I have a doctor's appointment that Friday.
See you all later!

This one is a little late. It is mystery why. Unrelated, here is a Blender model I made of Shikaviil Port:
WIP Animation: Avian Flight
Flap flap.
Scribbled this while procrastinating on today's comic page. Drawing flight loops really feels like getting back to my roots because I doodled them constantly in middle school. Which, incidentally, is when the first concepts for wing-walking bird aliens started appearing in my art...

Back from the convention. Quite a few of these were doodled while I was at the table, some are stragglers I forgot to scan from previous months. Image two is mostly friend OCs (and big naturals lizard wizard).

So, there wasn't a comic yesterday. Sorry about that. A combination of things caught up with me and I ended up having to print and bind over a hundred books and zines in two days, and now there's a convention happening, which is basically going to occupy all of my time for the rest of the week (starting Wednesday, because ECC...
