DOTU Scene Compilation - Ch4P122-124
Scene compilation time! This set doesn't include today's page. I realized while working on today's page that the previous page was the best place to cut the scene, even though it's super short and includes a bit of the next scene. So, here you go!By the way, if I don't shift anyt...
Chapter 4, Page 125

Chapter 4, Page 123
Heeeey, look which d-bag we haven't seen since like a hundred pages ago! Well, we briefly saw him training, but I don't think he's gotten to talk since all the flashbacks way early in chapter 4. I know you guys all missed him so much. XDWith any luck, quarterly sketches should go up tomo...
Chapter 4, Page 122 (+ rewards update)
Pogo's come so far... XDA few scheduling updates! I'm *super* behind on February rewards. I had about 10 days of a mysterious and kinda scary health issue around the end of February, and it's been a nightmare to catch up because January-April are my heaviest freelance months. The Patreon...

Chapter 4, Page 120 (nsfw)
Only one page left of the scene!Fun fact, those of you who've read Merritt's Story might remember the custom that North Sphere citizens drape their ties around their necks before putting on the rest of their clothes. Well, here we get to see the West Sphere equivalent in action! :)Freelance ...
The Surface - Environment Art
I posted these to the Secret Gallery for January alongside a biiiig blog post with process shots and info, but I wanted to post the standalone art for all of you! I've been calling these "Chicago-flavored" environments because they're very Chicago-like with buildings based on real ar...

New page, woohoo!I’m too tired to ramble. But here, have a Cooking with Belmont screenshot. The Secret Gallery got another big update last week!I redesigned the GUI! The original was pretty basic, and I knew I’d have to tweak it after I was done designing the logo, which I did over the weekend. ...
