next_lvl post episode 38 teasers + a few days delay notice from patreon

I opted to do a 20-panel/10-page episode because what could go wrong on a new year, then everything went wrong and my normally iffy mental state burned down to the ground. I'm trying to manage it to the best of my ability, but I have to apologize to you guys for taking 2-4 more days with this episode, next Fragments Friday wi...

next_lvl post art log but mostly Emet-Selch whoops from patreon

Look I HAD TO start practicing drawing Emet before his intro in the comic, but I haven't been myself since I started doing that. A disaster struck, I'm trying my best to keep it under control x'D

The next 2 updates, January 5 and 19, will take place on Patreon/Kofi/Discord only, as I want to double the number of new episodes people can see if they give me money. I hope the wording's clear, but I'll reiterate anyway: nothing ...

next_lvl post episode 36 teasers + new emote from patreon

A buncha vivis with varying degree of confused or silly, Titania really enjoying themselves, and a new cabboy emote. Unfortunately the cursed version has too many frames to be an actual emote, I tried heavily compressing it and discord would still say it's too large. Ah well, I'll split the animation later maybe ;w;

I'm so glad that I took an extra week for this episode, I could take care of some big chores, clear my head, and work on the comic stress-free. The last few pics are from tegaki, where I show up about two times a year apparently :'>

Here's something more tangible than a written thanks for your recent support C:

The big painting I made specifically after the patreon thing, and the sketchpages are a bit older, I think I've found a flavor of cat that I can draw virtually forever.

I just wanted to gently remind you that you can increase your current pledge if you're able, this place needs to grow by about a half in order for me to stop freaking out every time someone leaves (people leave all the time, new people join, it's normal).

next_lvl post psa for free followers/members from patreon

I just noticed that Patreon added a (frankly pointless and misleading) option to join as a "free member". It used to be "follower" and didn't get in the way, now it literally makes things worse for everyone. I have no option to disable it on my end. Just to be crystal clear: I don't post any free content on here, only a few p...

I caught a cold but luckily my body managed to defeat it in 3 days, if that didn't happen I would've had to delay this episode. But all's well now, I'm back on track already, and the comic schedule's saved ;w;

Not much to tease about this episode since it's rather short and simple, a brief rest (for me, the author) between complex and detailed scenes that put a high demand on my art juices. Also the first episode to have either of the wolgraha completely off the screen, well, if we don't count the tiny Vivi chillin' in the backgrou...

A bit of speeding through the msq before settling in a multiple-episode scene. The "official" Il Mheg arc begins here, and is estimated to last for 4-5 months. Maybe longer, my brain's puny.

Ryne makes an appearance in this episode, but her role in the entire comic is so minimal that I felt like doodling a lil "apology ...

next_lvl post art log and 1-week comic delay from patreon

Next episode comes on September 8 instead of the planned 1, due to my real life bullying me. I had to fight some major guilt before making this decision, as I know that I might have to do this again sometime in October, while I wanna keep the comic updates as regular as possible. But sometimes stuff's out of my control.

reminder: check your pledge if you raised it for the artbook only

Before the month ends I wanted to remind you to edit your pledge if you raised it temporarily just to get the artbook (which is totally fine!), I released the artbook on August 5th, meaning that you'll be charged $10 again on September 5th. Please only stay in this tier if you can afford it. I want everyone to be in control o...

Just wanna know if the hassle that's posting my comic on ao3 is worth it.
