nsfw Slatepaw reference - nsfw part 2, the bits.

Non-exclusive, but nsfw so patrons only.

And Lo, it was canonized and I can no longer take the cowards way out on this being defined. 

Water's not fine - Page 6

Lightning storms, in MY magical setting that causes worse weather? It's more likely than you'd think.

Water's Not Fine - Page 5

Oops had to decide on some stellar objects for this page. Lets go, captured moons!

Water's Not Fine - Page 4

How many times has the weather cleared?

Water's Not Fine - Page 3

Well the rain is nice.

Water's Not Fine - Page 2

You see, it's water! It's wet! It might even be fine!...OR IS IT?!

Water's not fine, Cover and page 1

Immediately available, time to start building the buffer, all comics as I finish them will end up here on patreon ahead of time.

Sketches complete!

ohboy.... That is a lot. I expect to work on the first page next week, gotta get fully on top of the patron task queue.

Setting Reference - Werecritters 1

The wider setting, slowly getting refs. I have committed to calling it stormbreak unless I find out there is some popular setting named stormbreak and I weep.

The manatear is within the stormbreak setting.

Also seen here, first attempt at a maybe not bad beastbarony military jacket.

Werecritters also get to be the main source of demi-TF in setting, as it's hard to do that with already furry characters.

Manatear reference - Persistence of distinctive traits

Ohno, my branding is being erased!

Kickaha detected as example and as patron art credit.

Cross post - Commission price changes in May and tier change in June.

Howdy everyone.

I did this last September and had the vague idea that I was going to do it again this year at the same time, however taxes kicked my ass and I'll be spending the next couple months to zero out credit because of it.

SO YEAH, to make that easier and be more ready for next year's taxes, I just gotta do it to meet cost of living and prevent burn out by not needing to overwork. 

(DID YOU KNOW? When you're self employed you are paying bot...

April SRRO tier art - So far

I still need the remaining deets from some poeple!

Art in order...

For Anon, Nightfirer...twice, project, Wixter, werenimal, schikon, Xitu, kickaha.

I am changing a pledge goal - request stream related.

So here's the awkward thing, I like the request stream, but it only made sense when the majority of the patreon money didn't already have a task attached to it. Right now the majority of the patreon money (20 x 40$ slots) and is a whole lot of work.

Right now I am drowned in keeping on top of the work I need to do and the opportunity cost of the request stream feels too steep.

So what I am going to do is move the goal post for request streams returning, to a number that hopefully ...

March patron drawings.

In order. Xitu, Wixter, Werenimal, schikon, nightdragon, justanotherfurry, groo, Sheev, and anon.

Comic 2, progress thumbnails.

Heres an update post for those not on the discord.

We are making progress on this. I hope to have the writing done by the start of next month. I have a couple more scenes I need to setup in it and then I'll be happy with it. Once it's all written I'll aim for a vague 2 pages a week sort of schedule until it's all done.

Manatear Reference - Beeterment Hive (drone)

bees bees bees bees bees bees bees bees.

They are on scale with the normal typical bug scale in the manatear, so "Bug sized" means spellfluxed bugs. 

To get through their territory safely, you just gotta be purposeful about not getting sidetracked, and don't mess with any of their machines.

March - request stream update

With how the month is going, I am going to just preemptively call the request stream as not happening. I have a lot of things that I need to get on top of and the imminent taxes.

Once I have stabilized we'll look into doing the stream next month.

Manatear Reference - Doggo Drone

They just want to help!

Manatear Reference - BunBasic (drones)

Oops momentum-ed into doing a second drone ref.

I really like the mechanical vocalization rule for these.

NSFW - Sydney, the spicy ref.

Part of finally making myself do nsfw refs for characters that merit them. And trying to do them in the same vague chunk of time as the sfw refs.

Manatear Reference - Hazmat Sheep (drones)

Oops, wrote a bunch of drone refs.

They are just worried and want to clean up the problem!

Sydney 2023 character ref

Sydney, behold a more simple clothing design, but now they have stripes because it is now hard canon that they used to be a tiger or something like that.

NSFW - Feb SRRO Art

And two pieces. First is the borderline piece I decided to put in the nsfw realm and hte overt nsfw.

for Dezthemew and Asher respectively.

Feb 2023 - SRRO tier arts

the scribbles are endless.

For Anon, Digital potato, Anon, Forepaws x2, Groo, Justanotherfurry, NightDragon0, Project, Schikon, Tyla, werenimal, wixter and Gabbro.

Next comic is in progress.

Just making sure people know that I am stabbing the next project, as until I get pages actually finished it won't look like I am posting much immediately new besides commissions.

The comic is going to be focused on some foundational functions of the manatear by using a new character, Victor to explore erosion of identity and introduce characters like Sydney to the audience. Intended total length is totally in the air, but the first 15 pages is effectively just time warp perspective from...

Current patron art plan

Hello everyone, I am writing this because I noticed I have done very little polls lately for what to work on. I have come to the conclusion that I am going to stop doing them for reference regions. Trying to force multiple pieces out for each poll gets a bit derpy on my end. So instead I will do them for more broad comic story threads. 

These will certainly take more than a month between them to get it as done as I would like but I think it is more impactful that the setting refere...

Feb Patron request stream results

prompts in vague order...

Art an eddy, Art a Victor, art Hans caught by a dook swarm, art soon to be victim of a fae, Art a Shale compelled to nom, and a Carmen San Dingo.

Manatear reference - Vulcan Automata

Oops, Vulcan Automata now just properly exist in the manatear.

They get to be the "Maybe capitalism can work if your boss doesn't suck!" company in the dystop peninsula. They work well in that setting role as I originally made them long term thinking alien merchants that would just long term set up markets centuries ahead of time. while well meaning, they are still doing a form of capitalism...they just cut less throats over it.

Now I still have to decide if they are original to a...

Manatear reference - Missing persons

Dealing with a frequent problem means society figures out what they are going to do.

Patron request stream box - stream will be on 18th

Placing it on the 18th, so I have the flexibility of pushing it a week later if something comes up.

All patrons can place requests into the comments below, and I will pull from it to draw. 

More general requests that can be especially combined with other requests are more likely to happen. Avoid multi-character ideas, those likely will not happen unless I can feasibly combine it with other requests.

NSFW requests are allowed.
