February Report (Patreon)

Thank you for the support over the month of February! IT was really satisfying to be able to wrap up Poppy & Oak and get it  up on gumroad. A tedious but necessary process for me.

Also I really enjoyed getting to do some pinups that you all helped vote on! I think I'd like to keep on drawing more of those whenever I just need a mental break from the more difficult work for me, like writing/ thumbnailing Ivy & Pine.

Speaking of--thanks for your patience on that front. I get a little better at the process of making a comic each time I sit down to do it, and I sometime I have to reel myself back in and make a simple one now and again. I think I'd like Ivy & Pine to be a two color comic again.

Gold patrons probably already saw some of these exploration sketches in full a week or so ago. I'm doing my best to figure out a satisfying storyline for these two by just sketching them a bunch and getting used to their shapes. 

I recently finished reading Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaa and the size of that tome and his way of storytelling has uh, intimidated me a bit with their scope haha.

Finally--while the polls were going on I've still been troubleshooting the inkjet print stuff. Very very close on that front and I'll be letting you all know the moment they're ready for print. I plan to do these as a kinda limited edition small size until I'm totally out of these small rigid mailers I've got lying around. Also--what's that in the corner there...some kinda postage stamp lookin' Poppy sticker???
