Monster Country #1 - "Setting Out!"
🕑 Added 2021-02-02 21:39:06 +0000 UTCHello patrons! I'm still working on the next Ozzie chapter, pages of those should be going up here soon. In the meantime I wanted to start uploading my other stuff here and make this patreon a hub for all my comic adventures!
Some quick history: I first drew Monster Country back in 2011. Back then I was getting ready for the MoCCA Art Festival and greatly underestimated how much time it would take to get a book made of my Station Square comics, so I had to come up with something else about a month before the convention. I ended up penciling this entire comic in a Panera in one sitting!
Since then, Monster Country became a smaller series I'd do minicomics of at each convention. It was planned to just be about 6 issues or so, and I got up to issue 4 of it done, but bad luck with convention table lotteries and other commitments caused it to fall to the wayside a bit.
In 2019 I went back and touched up the art and colored the first issue. In 2020 I did the same with the second issue but... covid happened and ended all conventions and sort of derailed my plans for everything (x__x). In any case I'd like to finally finish this little tale up, so here it is! When it's all done I'd like to collect it all in a single paperback or something.
Like with Station Square, Monster Country is based on old comics I used to draw in my childhood. The character of Drill is pretty much ripped off from a character from a game I used to love back then (Golden Axe: The Duel) and Chip-Chip is even older than that, I used to draw him in my notebooks in elementary school!
This comic is probably showing its age at this point but I still think it's a fun read. I hope you enjoy it! Issue 2 will be up soon. I'd like to get this Patreon to a point where there's a new original comic here every month or more realistically bi-monthly. We shall see!

This was so cute and fun! I love Drill's design! Haha looks like Desmond is in for a lot of culture shock. :D I've been quietly following you for a couple years and I just love how simple yet expressive all of your character and line work is! You set scenes and show action so well and your character designs are always so great, be they monster girl or demon or sad rando in a crowd about to get eaten by a demon. :D Thanks for all your hard work!
