Here's what you can get done when you allow yourself to focus on ~one~ thing.

After deciding to step away from the drafting table last week, I was able to actually take care of the things that were causing me the most stress... and surprisingly, that revealed itself to be Kickstarter Page Prep. 

Filler will go up on the site this week - I'm sorry only the one page was up for the duration of last week; I was way more tired and burnt out than I originally thought. 

But, well, here's what a week of not spreading yourself thin or st...

doof

one of the small pleasures of going through past files are all the things you forgot you deleted from the final page

This is from Chapter 3, Page 31.

Thursday Update?

Instead of working on a new comic today (though I will be uploading some filler later - people actually did stuff on Halloween??? that was DotL related???), I am determinedly throwing myself back into page formatting for the Kickstarter. 

My goal is to finish formatting the ENTIRETY of book one before the end of November, and have EVERYTHING READY for the Kickstarter done before the end of the year. 

It's tempting to just say "see ya" to the internet and ANY updates whatsoever ...

my dayjob

Yup, there it is. 

so yeah i've been freaking myself out for possibly no reason but hopefully you can understand why i've been dealing with imposter syndrome now, but this job is great and i need to get over this anxiety i have about it, and maybe that includes just talking about it more openly

Hey, guys! Give me a second to get real with you:

I've been... I've been stretched, like, really thin lately. Like, you know the expression "burning the candle at both ends"? If you took a candle, a really long candle, and cut out the wax in the middle of it so the center of the wick was exposed, and then lit ALL THREE wicks, that's how I've been feeling emotionally lately. 

Finishing Book 1 and starting Book 2 has been a very stressful transitional period - I've...

Patreon: Upcoming Pledge Changes

Despite changing the New Post page only a short time ago to a new layout that no one... has been asking for... and that forces me to now scroll up unnecessarily when I'm done composing a post in order to give you your content, Patreon has decided to implement a NEW new change.

So I've... just received this email from Patreon, in which they ask me to pass along this information instead of just... you know... sending you an email themselves, I guess. 

Since this is a screenshot, I've ...

THERE they are

So, uh, a fun fact: Lyra's line about Tiffany's shield will be changed slightly. BECAUSE, as my very-smart-and-who-has-done-more-research-than-me-HUSBAND has pointed out, Pauldrons are shields. So Lyra will say something like "why does she even have a shield?" or something like that.

EDIT: Moved to the Patrons Only Tier, because we are runni...

here it is, the whole shebang

HERE'S THE BREAKDOWN! ONE TWO THREE FOUR:

Thumbnail: This is the sloppy drawing I do when I'm transferring my script from the traditional format in my sketchbook to the digital format in my Photoshop template. This is typically the phase where I figure out panels and broad layouts, but as you can see here, there's only one panel, and... Past Meg just... trusted Future Meg to do all the hard work.
