Wow I haven't looked in here for a while! Hello~

Hope you are all doing well. I'm still making comics, planning for the future, being An Artist or whatever, just mostly on Twitter and in other spaces like Patreon  or whatnot. Lately I've been trying to get back into art for passion vs art for businessy sorts of things... some of my best times were spent on this site learning and messing around with art in a less serious way instead of just fixating on the income thing. Maybe I'll ease back in here for a while and see what's up.

Oh yeah I have a lot of public tutorials now, was posting them to Tumblr but I'll start uploading them here as well just cuz... why not, I guess, haha. I'll start doing that this week.

Anyways hope you guys are doing well!

For those of you who have been on dA more recently than I: how would you characterize the community vibe here? less stressful than other places?

The Kickstarter for the first volume of my long-running webcomic, The Meek is nearly through! This is your last chance to get the comic while it comes loaded with all of the unlocked rewards, including bonus comics, several prints by artists like Makani, Joy Ang and Missmonster (to name a few) as well as a free set of bookmarks that were unlocked when we hit our last stretch goal.
Thanks for looking! :]

I'm Kickstarting the first volume of my long-running webcomic, The Meek, right now! It's already reached goal, so printing is not only guaranteed, but is actively increasing in quality as the campaign continues...
Go take a look :]

Though honestly I don't feel bad XD I work really hard to make sure these Patreon tutorials are worth the money, and are what my readers want to see from me. This was the highest voted topic for July, which is awesome. This month's tutorial might return to my roots and focus a bit more on anatomy stuff, so we'll see~~

Before anyone asks, yes, these tutorials will be made available here for free: this will happen 6 months past the date of posting on Patreon. So, you can expect to see this one in Jan (but we have a backlog, so you'll be actually getting the first one in the series in November).

I have another big announcement coming on Thurs so THIS IS NOT THE LAST YOU'LL HEAR FROM ME unfortunately

Sup dA~

Do people still use dA? I feel like we've all moved on to Tumblr or elsewhere, haha. Ah well, I'll keep updating here as long as I have a few things to talk about.

First, new tutorial is up on Patreon. The topic voted for this month was Writing for Webcomics! I also made a pretty sizeable support worksheet to go along with it... I had a lot to say. A few previews below~

Last month's tutorial, Coloring with Masks, was a great success, and it seems like people are really enjoying this new one too, so that makes me glad. I'll be posting the full versions here with a 6 month delay, so... that will begin in... November or so? But if you can't wait, you know where to go~
As usual there will be a new tutorial every month that we stay funded at this level, which seems fairly stable for the time being :] Anyone is free to vote or suggest a topic for July!

In other news, an anthology I participated, in ELEMENTS, is now live :D

Can you tell which is my icon? :3 lol

This book has some AMAZING editors, and as a result is filled with a ton of incredible artists and stories of a very diverse background. It launched today and raised about 4k in a hour so the hype is real... I'd definitely give it a look if you enjoy supporting diverse indie comic creators.

And last, I'm working on my own Kickstarter for The Meek, which is launching in less than a month now :D It is the first time my work will have ever been in print in book form, and the clock is ticking down... idk even what to say really XD I'm RIDICULOUSLY excited... have already gotten guest artists for reward tiers tied down and they are some people I can't believe are creating art to go with the Kickstarter. I've also seen the books we'll be printing with and the quality is just... *kisses fingertips* It's going to be the best, I really can't wait to share what's happening with all of you~

So yeah July is going to be busy but hopefully super filled with comics and more stuff soon! Even if I'm not posting to dA feel free to keep up with my stuff elsewhere below, cuz I'm usually updating a lot and definitely am ramping up everything in July.

ttyl~
