God Slayers - Page 83
Memory problems are one of Riley's worst symptoms... but... when I first wrote the script for Chapter 5, I realized that making it a focus of any encounter with her quickly became redundant and frustrating, both to write and to read. Granted, I imagine having any such mental illness or knowing a...

Backgrounds... definitely a thing I need to focus on most in the next couple of chapters.But look how cute she is! I'm super pleased with many of her expressions on this page.
Weekly Update 36
I think I missed another one of these last week... but that was because of vacation. I didn't have much that was interesting to share anyway. Taking it easy, hanging with the family. Twas a proper vacation!So... in this image you see more RIley... because I've been drawing a lot of Riley lat...
Riley Hairvolution
This is kind of fascinating to me, so I thought I'd share it.Riley's been around for awhile. She appears near the beginning of my first ever God Slayers sketchbook, but she was without her little hair... thing, which, for me at least, has become a rather iconic part of her appearance.Looking...
Mad Max
Back from vacation! So have some of this!Max isn't perfectly insulated from the more brutal side of Kuserra life, and I got to wondering if there were any situations where Max might be angry about something. Then I drew this.I don't really want to explain what's going on here... I'll...
Old Donno Sketch
Visiting the family this week, so here's a rare full body sketch of Donno from a few months back.Kiva is there for size reference.

Should she be allowed to have duct tape?

Lazy backgrounds are lazy, but it still feels good to post something I'm really proud of, otherwise.
Weekly Update - 35
Got a trip planned this week! Heading down to see the family for Halloween. Should be a fun break from all this hiding-in-the-house avoiding-all-contact-with-people year.What that means for the comic is we will have a post going up this week, than probably not one next week. I'll instead probabl...
Bad Morning
Imagine having a nightmare, waking up, and finding all your nightmares have come with you into the waking world.You know they aren't real, because they can't be, and yet there they are, as real to your senses as reality itself.How can you know what's real when you cannot trust your own m...
God Slayers - Page 81
I imagine it must be pretty terrifying to not be in complete control of your own mind. To find yourself stuck in a state where you want to say something, and cannot. Even moreso, to be aware of that disconnect, and powerless to do anything about it until it passes.This is part of the reason I love t...

You know, despite the extra hours I had to put in to get this done, I'm actually pretty pleased with how it's turned out. The background in particular.
Weekly Update - 34
Been thinking a lot about it lately, but creating is kind of a lonely process. I spend a great deal of my time alone, thinking up things that don't exist, and trying to make them into something that does exist. Then I put it on the internet, where people that do exist look at it briefly and then...
Please Use Responsibly
Just a dumb, silly sketch for today, but I figured some of you might be wondering how Riley carved her name on the front of her dad's old workshop.It went something like this.

He got owned.

Woo! This page marks 40 pages from the start of the year! Goal achieved! Assuming it goes public by the end of December, which, I don't see any reason it shouldn't...
Weekly Update 33
Well, I thought I was further along on Page 80 than I really am, so gonna be crunching a little bit today and tomorrow. We've also started working on the early stages of the main site's lore page, which I hope to have up this week. I've been starting to feel like I'm doing a pretty p...
Predator and Prey
It's the weekly "sketch!"Kiva and Max play a game! Max volunteered to be the "prey," because of course he did.No context, but I will say it was super uncomfortable drawing a happy Kiva. I promise I won't do it often.
God Slayers - Page 79 - High Res
This particular page looks a lot better in HIgh Res, I think. That also might explain why it's, ya know... over five times the file size. >.>
God Slayers - Page 79
Riley's a genius, turns out.Apparently I'm really having trouble deciding on the colors for this scene. Turns out an orange cat wearing orange on an orange and grey background doesn't stand out as much as I'd like. Normally I'm not too worried about colors... but this... I dunno....
Weekly Update 32
I've gone ahead and sketched out the comics through page 82. Which one of those am I teasing today? I guess you'll have to wait and find out!Not a lot else to say, really... drawing is going well... Kinda, feels weird to be proud of what I'm doing. It's not perfect, it's not even...
Necrogirl
Kicking off the Halloween season with an idea I've had for a god with a more necromantic-based Vim. She better be careful though, because who knows what could be lurking in Kuserra's Underground.
God Slayers - Page 78
Such an interesting and challenging character to write. I love her. I keep saying that. But it's true.
God Slayers - Page 78 - High Res
Something I often ask myself is how DOES her hair do that? The answer I keep coming to is a lot of grease and only a little bit of fire.
Weekly Update 31
It's my mom's birthday today! Happy birthday, mom!It's actually impressive I was able to remember, because usually I don't.... not out of disrespect, just because dates, for whatever reason, never seem to stick in my brain. Something about numbers, probably. I always seem to struggle...
Three Days
Fan service sketches of the cast in their underwear are all well and fun... but here's a canonical backstory snapshot.
Dancing Lessons
It sure was a struggle to get the ol' pen moving today. Even moreso to create something I felt was worth sharing. But here you go. Inspired by a suggestion from Tycloud on Twitter, Max teaches the twins how to dance!Chapter 5 will resume on the 30th!
Weekly Update 30
30 Weekly Updates! Nearly 80 pages worth of comics! Woo! Things are happening!Today's preview is progress of the sketch I shared last week. Does anyone get the reference she's making? There's a clue reflecting in her eyes.As I've said in various places, with the conclusion of Chapter...
Chasing Riley
I don't have a lot of time. My friends are coming to kidnap me and take me to see this "outside" I keep hearing about. Something about trees... and... sky. It sounds pretty scary.So here's a sketch from an upcoming Chapter 5 page. I was just... really, really pleased with how this on...

The resizing algs failed me on this one. Had to resort to using some superior software. But I might just do that from now on anyway if it more consistently results in cleaner looking scaled down pages.
