Mini Update #13

I have some updates on the universe's cruel jokes that have been preventing the next page from coming out. Last weekend (usually the only viable time I have to draw) I was powered down to get a lot of work done. No distractions. I was going to finish the bulk of the page off and would probably ha...

Anti-update (Revised)

Well, if you've read the comments section to the previous post you'll see that I made a sweeping judgement without consulting anyone, and missed the point to why a lot of you donate in the first place. My bad. The July donations will NOT be frozen due to people still wanting to contribute. I'll h...

Anti-update #1

Hey dudes and dudettes. I just wanted to let you know I'm going to freeze the donations for July since it's been well over a month since the last update. I'll give a heads up closer to when the next page will be finished, but life keeps getting in the way, unfortunately (I'm sure it's gotten in t...

Journal Update

I have an update over on DeviantArt since that's where all my watchers are.

Mini Update #12

Long time no see. Just letting you all know the next page is coming along swimmingly. I'm trying a few new things like cataloging how much time it takes to draw and seeing how I can improve upon it. I'm not sure how I feel about showing my embarrassingly long times but there you go. Maybe transpa...

Mini Update #11

Not the most spectacular page in the world coming up but there's more to draw than usual! That's why I missed this Sunday. Still blown away by everyone's generosity. :) Keep on laughing at Final Fantasy, ya'll.

Mini Update #10

Just letting you know, especially after all this time, that the next page is currently being worked on! I'm sure we won't go another weekend with no updates, so I'll see you all pretty soon. Thanks for waiting! (My kitty is 100% better) :)

Bigger update, but some bad news

I'll start with positive news. Through your donations I was finally able to get this tablet three weeks ago or so. It's great. It works just like drawing on paper and the agony of my process is cut down by a considerable amount. I mean by a lot. I've always thought the sheer labor of the comic wo...

Mini Update #9

Thanks again to everyone that's donated since I started this thing! You've put food on my Melony table so I couldn't thank you enough. Also here's this fucking dragon again.

Mini Update #8

I'm running, running, running to the next page. I hope everyone is doing well and had good Turkey days! (In applicable countries) I'm leaving the screen shot here because of how terrifying this next panel will look. You'll understand in retrospect.

Not-so-mini Update

Alright, it's been way too long as I'm sure some of you are starting to notice. Bad news is it will still be a while before the page is finished. I completely lost track of time for a few reasons: Right after I finished the last page I thought I could get away with playing Dragon Quest 11 for a week...

Mini Update #7

Hoping to stay back on track, not much of an update here. I'm very much enjoying the weird imagery of the Temple on this playthrough. We spend half a second in some of these rooms so I don't know if many people appreciate or even take in what they're seeing. Like, wtf is this? Is the Nail Bat the tr...

Mini Update #6

That delay from last time still has things pushed back (i.e. posting on Tuesday means I didn't start the new page until later, when otherwise I would have already been working on it), so at some point I have to get caught back up. Until I can get a day off things are going to be a little bit wacky! ...

Mini Update #5

Just a fair warning for this one, for anyone that cares! I found out I work on the weekend which totally throws a wrench in my plans. I can't see myself finishing the page without those two free days, so you might see it on Monday or Tuesday instead. Still, I might finish it on time if all the stars...

Mini Update #4

Shhhhh, this one is sneaky.

Mini Update #3

I'm almost done with the next page but I've got a big mural to draw. Gotta love slowing down for them backgrounds. Nothing exciting this time!

Mini Update #2

Whenever I fail to upload on a Sunday/once a week there will be a mini-update! This is one of those weeks. So, see ya next Sunday.

And for anyone that is new to the comic (Which I imagine most Patrons are long-term fans. Don't want to assume too much here), the unofficial upload schedule is once e...

Mini Update

Here's a look at what I've been doing since there wasn't an update over the weekend. I was a pretty sick cookie.

Here's a quick look at my creative process.

Hello, fellow FF fans.

With enough feedback I've decided to try the whole Patreon thing out. We'll see how it goes, and if it ever becomes successful enough I'll think about adding reward tiers + all them bells and whistles and doodads.

I'm not expecting any greatness, so if you're a fan and can't donate no n...
