Bonus Panels 102-107

Another batch of bonus panels again! I'm really digging this new format I got goin for them! As usual, I'll include a little bit of insight on the BTS of each of the comic below!

102 - Critic
Fun fact, this isn't actually the 102nd comic, but it's the 102nd comic posted on Webtoons, so I just use that system! As I mentioned before, I wanted to do a series of comics about Duncan and Kip becoming friends before going into the series with Kip and Mason, just to round o...

Q&A 10

Sorry for the delay! I'm currently on vacation with my partner, but I'll be updating here when I can! Cheers! <3

Q&A Submissions #10

Hey y'all!! It's a brand new month, which means it's time for a brand new Q&A! As always, I'll pick a handful of questions for the characters to answer! Feel free to ask repeated questions from other submissions! This month's theme is family! As always, you don't need to ask questions that follow the theme, it's only a suggestion!

More scrapped comics!

All the scrapped comics baby!!

1. I think this is really funny, especially panel 1 to panel 2, but I just couldn't decide on a solid punchline I really liked, so into the bin it goes.

2. I really like this comic, but i think I mentally stole it from Cucumber Quest, so for fear of accidental plagiarism I scrapped it

3. Another Kip and Mason comic! This was going to be part of Kip and Mason month! I think it's cute, but it kind of follows the same beat as most Kip and Mason c...

Bonus Panel - Bisexual, Confidence, and Aux Cord

Triple bonus panels today!! As always, I'll put a little blurb about my thoughts on making each of these comics below!

Bisexual
This comic was SUCH a long time coming. There's a bit of a backstory about this. Nearly three years ago, I made a pride comic where I accidentally said that Eddie was bi instead of gay (because I totally forgot), and ever since then, I've always drawn him with the bi flag, even though it's explicitly stated in the comics that he's gay. He's ...

Q&A #9 - April 2024

HELLOOOOOOOOOO THE Q&As ARE BACK!! this is from a questionnaire i sent out back in november of last year, so it's a bit old, haha, but better late than never! I've been messing around with this really toothy brush that feels really good to draw in, so I decided to change how this Q&A looked a lil bit! I'll send out the next Q&A questionnaire at the start of May! Enjoy!

Plushies BTS!

It's been a while since I've done a proper BTS post, so I figured the plushies would be a great place to start! This is all of the reference material I sent Makeship when designing the plushies! I've posted the turnarounds here on Patreon before, but I've included some additional plush mockups as well, including for the original Duncan plush I released last year!

The plushies ended up pretty close to my original sketches, so I'm super happy with them! Fun fact, the Duncan outfit was mea...

Bonus Panel - Beard and Posture

We're back on the bonus panels again y'all!!

Beard
I know this is out of order but I don't really care. I really really love how this comic came out! This is a palette I designed two years ago I think when Duncan got his job at the diner. I touched it up again that December for the series of comics about Duncan's dad. Since then, My sense of color and direction has gotten WAY better, and let me tell you, that palette was all over the place. I've refined it a bit more...

D&E as Humans!

I stumbled across this like 3 year old drawing I did of Duncan and Eddie as humans on Twitter and thought it'd be fun to revisit the concept! It's always really strange looking back at old art because it's always so far below the standard I set for myself for posting online now. I sort of miss that in some ways of being able to post things without worrying about what 200,000 people will think of it, but that's why I like having this little Patreon so much!

I nearly kept Duncan's blue ha...

March Sketches 2

Hi guys!! Just like I said before, here's another round of sketchbook pages!! There's all sorts of fun stuff in these ones! I have a whole bunch of pages I made when I was visiting my partner that I wanted to put in here, but they have waaaaay too much personal information.

Let me know if you guys like these sketchbook pages!! I'll definitely consider posting about them more if you guys would like!

Kip Turnaround + Various Doodles

Hi there!!

This is a rough little turnaround of Kip I threw together for a little something I can't talk about yet (but I can show this)!! I wanted to put them in a pride outfit similar to the Duncan one I threw together a few months ago. I was going to put them in a formal outfit, but whatever I tried, it all felt really off on Kip, so I put them in a super super casual, loosely semi-formal outfit.

Also, fun fact! This is the first time (I think?) that they've been drawn in a f...

March Sketches (and mini update)

Hey all! I'm really feeling motivated to go back to making comics again! I really feel like I've shaken off a lot of the rust from burnout and I'm feeling really inspired to make art again! I'm still trying to keep up with classes, so I can't devote as much time as I'd like to the comics, but I thought I'd share some sketchbook pages I liked over the past year!

I don't sketch as much traditionally anymore (and to be honest, a lot of the work I've been doing for school is quite boring ...

dumb little comic idea

i had this dumb little comic idea i was going to post ages ago, but i never finished it, so i decided to clean up the rest of the drawings and post it on here for you guys! i missed drawing duncan being a little bit more of a goofball, so i think i wanna show that side of him a bit more!

Body Types!

edit: I didn't notice until just now that the files I uploaded before were super low quality for some reason! Sorry about that, I've uploaded new ones!

Hi everyone! The comic is still on hiatus while I focus on school, but I found some time to do some anatomy practice with the Duncan and Eddie cast!!

Something I've been trying to do with some of the newer comics is give the characters more varied body types, so this was a product of me wanting to define and explore these a bit m...

December Update

Hi all! Just wanted to update you guys on where I've been!

I've mentioned this a few times, but I've been busy with schoolwork this past month as finals wrap up. Particularly, with working on my short film, Ring Race, which is wrapping up production this Friday! My semester ends this week, so I'll be returning to regularly scheduled posts on here, along with plenty of new comics!!

Keeping up with Patreon and the comics has been a lot more work than I was anticipating, so I've been...

Q&A Form 9 - November 2023

It's Q&A time again!! As per usual, submit any questions you want the characters to answer in the google form below and I'll draw up a response near the end of the month! This month, I'll be showing some behind the scenes stuff for my short film, Ring Race, for FLOCK tier patrons, so there won't be any extended Q&A! Hope you're all looking forward to that!

This month has no particular theme, however, if you'd like, I'll also answer any questions directed toward me, whether that ...

Bonus Panel - Sleepy & Drive

Hey all!! I've got some more comic insights for you guys! I've been really busy with school and working on my short film, so I haven't been posting comics as regularly. I hope that's alright!

95 - Sleepy
This comic!! This comic!!!!!!!! I've had this comic (and a load of other Kip and Mason comics in this same vein) sitting in my drafts for literal years now, and I decided to finally sit down and start hacking away at them. With this comic, I wanted to try to push the...

Q&A 8 - October 2023

Hey gang!! Sorry I'm a few days late, things have been wild, but October's Q&A questions are finished! I had a lot of fun making these, I hope you enjoy!!

Q&A Form 8 - Oct 2023

Hey all! It's a new month, so that means new monthly questions! As per usual, submit your questions or drawing requests in the form below to be answered by the Duncan and Eddie cast! This month's theme is "Questions for Kip and Mason"!

You don't need to follow the theme, you can still ask questions to other characters! It's just to give ideas. There won't be any Extended Q&A this month for the FLOCK tier, since I have a full comic arc script coming later this month....

Bonus Panel 94 - Record

Back on schedule!!

This was an interesting comic to come back to!! In particular, Kip and Mason's apartment has one of the color palettes I'm most happy with in the series, but going back to looks at it, It hadn't grown on me as much as it used to. If you compare it directly with the colors that were previously used, I've saturated a lot of the colors a lot more (this is generally true with most of the comics) and added a lot more contrast in areas there needed it like the gray wall beh...

June 2023 Q&A

Hey all! Here are the very late Q&A comics from June! These are all about pride since they were asked during Pride Month. Even though June has passed, it's never too late to celebrate pride! I hope you enjoy these!

September Sketch Dump

Here are some various sketch pages I drew that I liked over the past few months! There's a lot more sketchbook pages if people are interested, but they're a lot less legible than my normal sketches.

I've also found a doodling style I'm really comfortable with digitally that I've been having a ton of fun with! It's the really clean sketches with a flat brush. If I ever get around to making another comic series, that's probably the style they'll be drawn in HAHA

Bonus Panels 88-93

Very late, but here are the bonus panels for comics 89-93(numbering via webtoons)! It's been two or three months since I drew some of these, but I'll try to add some insight from what I remember while working on these!

88 - Silence
This comic is a sentiment that's really personal to me! I have a lot of memories from high school of wanting to support friends, but not knowing what to say, so I'd just sit there with them as crowds of people passed by. I'd like to think they hold those t...

Eddie Turnaround

I made a turnaround character sheet for Eddie a while back for a certain upcoming project and i thought they were pretty cute! so enjoy this!

Crop tops!

Hi all! I'm recently coming back from a really bad art burnout I had for the past few months, but I'm feeling my drawing itch fully coming back finally! I wanted to draw the Duncan and Eddie cast looking a little more mature than I normally show in the comics and also was really in the mood to draw crop tops, so have these sketch pages!

None of these are canon or anything, but I think there's some really cute drawings in here! Also, the Cliff drawing is for all u Cliff freaks in the co...

Short June Update

Hi everyone! I know I've been a little quiet on Patreon, so I just wanted to update you guys on what's been happening!

I've been putting a lot of my focus on the upcoming longer comic arc titled, To Coda, and I should be ready to start sharing some of those first pages soon! In the meantime, I've been working with some friends to redraw some of the older lower resolution comics with a fresh coat of paint, which I'll be showing to FLOCK tier patrons!

As I've mentioned before, it's...

June Q&A

It's the start of the month again, so it's time for another monthly Q&A! As always, the following theme is a suggestion, but you don't have to follow it if you have another question. This month's theme is gonna be LGBTQ+ questions for Pride Month!

You can submit questions here! https://forms.gle/d97iV68MJfZjAdVR8

May Bonus Panels!

Thanks for being so patient as always! Here are the bonus panels for the last four comics (which also extend a bit into April as well, oops)!

With "Friends", I wanted to revisit the restaurant and give Duncan another solo(kinda) comic, since it had been a while since he was in the spotlight! I did a few touch ups on the Diner's colors and made Duncan WAY less green. I'm tempted to make a few comics that touch more on his waiter friends, so if you see a Calem comic soon you know why. 2023-05-31 18:28:59 +0000 UTC View Post
