Coming up in September on this here Patreon! (Patreon)

As the end of August and the monthly exodus of 20 to 30-odd Patrons looms, thought I'd put up a quick list of content I'm contemplating for September. Yay?

*I'll definitely be showing more Work Stages on that Wolverine/ Man-Thing story (for the Marvel anthology Crypt of Shadows), as I just got in the first five pages of coloring on the pages.

*Likewise in the coloring vein, look for the final Work Stages on that truly hellish, cyberpunky AF Harley Quinn variant cover. Something really interesting and instructional happened with the colors on that piece, including an elaborate "color consult" from my bud Ryan Kinnaird.

*Plus, I'll likely post Work Stages for the new FRPG-skewing Harley Quinn cover, which currently exists only in (approved) rough sketch form. 

*In the Distressed Damsels vein, the $5+ tiers will, I hope, be seeing finished pages from the recently previewed Clip Studio Paint test comic Rose & Lily: Flowers of Peril; worst case, I have a large selection of (fairly tight) page roughs from later on in the story, when our hapless heroines run afoul of the potion-shop gnomes who tormented the Hushed Half-Elf a while back.. (Or I could start posting pages from a recently mentioned Emp "bedroom cosplay" story in which she's roleplaying a damsel-y scene from Hitchcock's early film Jamaica Inn.)

*I'm hoping to get in at least a little Cintiq developmental sketching for The Last Party during the month.

*The book-market solicitation info and cover art for Empowered vol.12 should—I say, should—be going up soon, so I'll likely post that here first before the solicitation "goes live," as it were.

*Unearthed a whole bunch of material while resuming the cleaning out of my studio space, such as: a big cache of (very) early Dirty Pair developmental material; the main art for the one music CD cover I did; my sole remaining piece of original artwork from the watercolor era of Dirty Pair cover art, before digital coloring kicked in; a two-page comic done for my high school newspaper (ouch!); a whole bunch of character design material for defunct SF comic pitch Cannibal Sun; and the original art for not one but two stories pitting Street Fighter's Chun Li vs. Cammy—with one comic being an Udon-published short, and the other a commissioned response to the official SF comic. So, at least some of the aforementioned content will be appearing in September, likely to be chosen by poll(s).

*Failed-Project Friday will prrrrrobably return later in the month for a one-off post featuring artwork from a late-90s DC Vertigo pitch(!) that I am very, very glad was not accepted. (Just recovered the text for the pitch as well as the art, though I might skip the former if it's too dang cringe-y, which might well be the case.) 

*Concluding serialization of my 2004-era layouts and Work Stages for the Unnamed Robot Comic's final issue will roll on as well.

*Vintage Con Sketches will be represented at some point in September, along with further multiple doses of Life Drawings.

*I also need to knock out a few more long-standing commissions if possible, so you might see some contemporary as opposed to vintage Con Sketches.

*As usual, stand by for an Exclusive Monthly Bonus Post for the Biggest Spenders at the end of the month, as well as possibly the solicitation of new art requests from the $10 tier for the first time in quite a while. 

That's rather a lot to squeeze into 30 days, gotta say. Well, thanks for your support, and I'll talk at ya later!
