December! Discord update + Quick Question for Y'all!

Hey all!It's getting to be the end of 2019 and it's gotten me to reflect a bit on what my output has been here and how things have gone on the Discord channel I opened about a year ago now. I wish I could say I was 10000% thrilled with everything but that's never the case, largely becaus...

Patreon Payment Declines

Project Starchild WIP + Last Week in Japan

Time flies, huh.Before I get into all that, here's a preview at what the roughest of rough looks like in book production!To build a general composition from the things that have inspired me here in Osaka, I build most scenes by photobashing things together. It helps me block out ideas, colors, c...

Patreon Fees Change - What It Is, and How It'll Affect You Here

Hi,I wish I was writing a longer form thing under more felicitous circumstances but the responsibility of being transparent with changes going on at Patreon falls apparently only on the shoulders of us, the Creators.Uh oh, what's going on...You've likely heard rumblings about it on Twitter/T...

October Update

Hey friends.Thanks for sticking with me through what has been an obscenely awful month.

New goal hit... sort of.

Hey everyone!So, quick update. I hit a Patreon goal overnight but the email alert that it sends out to my Patrons (but not me) got some people to unpledge as a result, so I'm back under. This is normal. Any time I send out an email update, I get at least one or two unpledges and this seems to be...
