July Report + Suggestion Box (Patreon)
Content
Thank you all for supporting my work this past month and making these things possible! I didn't have a lot of down time this month but I did get to go to a lake a week ago and that did make a big difference in my enjoyment of the summer and give me some time to think about important things like sand and swimsuits and ice cream cones. I hope you all can find some peaceful time off this month!
Ivy & Pine made it to page 31--ish! (Still needs some work)
Did a little animation of Ivy for fun! (This probably took too much of my time, I'll have to budget better in the future if I wanna make more animations so it doesn't take time away from comics!)
Like I said, I think I need to budget my time better because there were less sketches in this month's dropbox bundle than I would have liked. A lot more of them ended up being rough comic pages and less idle doodles that are fun and refreshing. And help me exercise new ideas that might turn into comics.
Then of course there's Lady Dimitrescu--which simply took a long time. Just...so many lines.
I perpetually think I haven't done enough, but I'm going to do my best to just accept July for what it was.
I'd like to try to keep some regular fanart thing if I can. It's fun to draw new characters and it adds variety in the midst of making comics--and maybe will even give me some ideas for new ones...hit me with your suggestions for characters, even if it's one that's been suggested before!
This month my plan is to finish the remaining pages of Ivy & Pine and get it colored up and at least started on the cover art. I really want to be able to start something new or do some short low stakes comics for a month or two before starting on the next long form one.
I hope you enjoy what's to come this month! Thank you for helping make this possible!
