Just a little preview of tomorrow's update~ Colors are not final at all, more like me doing my thing trying to find the final balance.
Generally for "new" colors (like, I just made a scene change) I will make an image in my head that I can't ex...

This is a post-mortem of Chapter 4, mostly a technical discussion on the difficulties of doing a complete rewrite spread out over the course of several years. It's probably going to be pretty long. I will also be straight-up explaining the plot point...

Hi everyone,
Happy March :] I am imposing on your inbox to say thank you so much for reading and supporting my work. Last month you funded 11/10 comic updates (extra comics, woo), and thanks to hitting the next milestone, I'll be aiming for 13/...

Just a small preview/ mockup of the next Meek chapter cover. Compositionally the general rule is to avoid centering stuff but... fuck it~

Here are the original "thumbnails" (they are not actually thumbnails) (they were blue/ mechanical pencil sketches on halves of 8x11 paper) for the chapter, done back in 2007. ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO, scream. This was one of my least favorite chapters, w...

I totally forgot about this, I drew it in early 2014 while getting in the mood to set the visual style. It was also pointless as a wallpaper since it was the first piece of "finished" MI art I had made, and it had no context to anyone but me XD I'm a...
