So, here, one-page sneakpeeker for you lot! Like for the first book bundle, it had it's own little 8 paged extra chapter "To Lapland". The second book bundle will have this one. :3
Don't really have much to add. Oh, except this: This little booklet will contain all the Patrons names in a pret...
It's been a while since we've had a concentrated few days just for Small Trolls with all the busy things we've had, and we're very happy to show you some proper progress on things! :3 After this, Chapter 1 will have one more act, and then we should be able to wrap up our intro chapter to Small Troll...

Elli's computer has hit a snag and needs to be sent off to be repaired. I'd like to sell off some of my print stock to help out with the costs and as I'm going to be computerless on top of that, I can't work on any digital sketch commissions for a while. Anyone who's interested in helping out will ...

Whei finally got some greyscale valued pages for you all!
Finishing touches and edits will be done once the whole chapter is completed and colour added, but before then, we've got it for our Patrons to read at least!
Do let me know if you spot anything odd or if something's not clear to read...

Friday's sketch commissions! Only got a few done tonight, unfortunately due to the passing of one of our ratties. :<
Hence the quite ratty themed sketches too. Thank you Flik for suggesting drawing Beth with Gabe. ♥ Loved doing all of these. Cheered me up a lot.

Most of last night's haul that was streamed!

£10.00 for one character (coloured)

Quite an old set of thumbnails now, of a scene where Anna's meant to meet Jackdog for the first time. Whether or not this scene will see any use, I can't say. For starters it was done with the wrong dimensions. *rolls eyes* And while I want to show Anna as a bit of a spiteful grump in this, I'm not ...

Jack has some unusual ways of trying to make friends with people and Morrie likes her Sundays off.

Of various things. I've been going through my folders and trying to work out which of the less spoily ones I can colour and show.

Slightly self-indulgent late night sketching. Anna cheers me up whenever I'm feeling poorly and I've found myself drawing her a lot lately.
I said a while ago that Loksley's the only lady to wear trousers in public in the comic, but there's plenty of girls in the story who'll dress up as gentlemen...

Karo asked me for my take on the Kalmahinen beasties in Year in Hereafter. I play a lot of WoW and I quite like blighted things, so here's my scribble of one of 'em.

Let's see how the mobile app works. Bit laggy so far.
Update on the mobile app: It's pretty terrible to write with.
Credit to Karo for coming up with this! I've acquired some brass eyelets and ribbon to go with the bookmarks. Initially I kinda fancied the idea of using lace of some sort to g...

Morrie's and Loksley's turn! Plenty of work to do with these two still, but we're getting there. I've had a nice restful week and drawing these has definitely helped with that.
Fun fact: Both of them are originally roleplay characters, Loksley who in part belongs to me. Their roles in RP were not ...

The only thing I've ...
After some fighting with CMYK and gamut warnings, finally done with these two. *groans*
The bookmarks will be printed without the dark blue borders.
Next up for the cast bookmark batch are Morrie and Loksley, then Veeti and Omar. If I have time before the print, I'd like to do one of the urc...

I've been struggling with fatigue so getting anything done is great. I'd like to do a rain themed set of bookmarks of the main cast to eventually use as profiles on the website too.
Here's two of the 6 I've got inked so far! Jack and Anna. Colours will be added for the finished lot.

We've been running Patreon for almost a year now and it's time to do some small amendments to our tiers!
The only one that has changed though, is the Soup Kitchen. The amount of projects we've taken on has more or less doubled in the last 8 months which means we now have much less time to build bu...
