Update 9/14: The tie has been broken! It's time to go to work. Thanks for the feedback!
Hello, Patreon members! It's getting close to the time where I need to start writing the next Mercs illustrated story, so I thought I'd come to you to see what kind of theme you'd want to see next. Caveat: ...

Always ask before using the dark arts on your friends. It's just the polite thing to do.
Happy Labor Day, Slapeggs!

The previous Suddenly... picture was fun to draw and it got some comments too. And who am I to defy the will of the people? I thought it would be fun to add on to it with an extra bit.
Plus I miss drawing Lust. And Lust being petty is the best Lust.
2015-09-06 01:19:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe Sins end their analysis of the Rulers’ islands and weigh the importance of tasty food/enslavement. Also, robo-Sloth shows off and flexes for the team, thankfully without oiling up.
As with all people named Pip, our hero is a loser. In this game's world, your resolution is your caste and Pip is at the bottom of that ladder. Those neat little bits of world building are really the only things Adventures of Pip has going for it. The writing is either really charming or awful, with...

This month, the Mercs are breaking into fairy tales and flipping scripts all over the place. Too long have we had innocent princesses! We need to shine some light on their true horror.... It's probably because she doesn't wear a poofy dress; that's how you can identify the bad ones.
Big thanks to ...

Man, that's the best kind of suddenly.
I finished up some work early, so I thought it would be fun to do a little something just for the fine people of Patreon because you have expressed an interest in princessification. Because you are good and proper people. Happy weekend!

All our fine student readers are headed back to school and all our fine teacher readers out there are stocking up on coffee, booze, and headache medicine. And all of our other adults with jobs have been at work all summer anyway. Check out what the site had to offer this month that you may have miss...

Envy asks the questions nobody else is brave enough to ponder. It’s all about the chemtrails, people! Lust is controlling the population through chemtrails. Don’t you see how that makes 100% sense!...

Just in case you didn't get quite enough Sloth and Poison adorableness in today's update, we have extra duo-ability with anagrams! And an awful lot of substance abuse... Sloth is probably pretty cool to get drunk with.
Greetings, Patreon Mercs! I'm finishing scripting the final stories of the next Mercs issue, so I wanted to get some feedback on the flow of the Mercs' missions and stories. Would you like to see a continuation of the current flow of the Mercs moving from mission to mission with some story bits betw...

After my initial disappointment that Curses N Chaos has nothing in common with Ghosts N Goblins OR the C&C Music Factory, I came to applaud that Curses N Chaos has some darn good style. It has fantastic music, some good humor in its mini story segments...

New Sloth... leaves much to be desired in the ways of wearing hats. Guide it to the path of light, Sloth, or else you guys are never going to be the next big thing in free-to-play!
As usual, Patreon members get the picture at full size as thanks for being so keen.

It's too hot to be a productive member of society, so I drew art instead.
My past week has pretty much been a loop of "Good-Bye Moonmen" and "Do You Feel It?" and trying to not blurt out "Shut the * up about moon men!" while I'm sitting at my desk.
I think Hope-G...

I was working on another game for the site and while I liked the world, I just couldn't get into the game itself. I kept thinking about other projects while working on this and that's usually my sign to re-focus my efforts elsewhere. I like Wilder and his world of dinosaurs and what would have event...

While Anger is off learning strange new things, we need our own strange new things... Sins Anagrams! In honor of the ending of Summer Games Done Quick, we have Nus! And firearms! The second one is only slightly less related to SGDQ. Patreon members get the art at full size too!
Quick Critique: Child of Light
The following discussion mentions some story spoilers.
Child of Light... is. It is a video game. It has gameplay. It has a story. It doesn't do a lot poorly but the interesting things it does don't push the game that far out of the middle ...

This month, the Mercs try to go something about the heroine epidemic affecting this poor city! They clean up the streets and ask the big questions about goons, sharks, and why heroes don't wear pants in the middle of winter.

We say good-bye to July and shake our fists at its heat but the undeniable coolness of the Sins got us through. And what content there was! Thanks for everybody's support in hitting that Patreon goal and I have word from the next artist that he'll be starting next week!
Quick Critique: Ittle Dew
The strongest feelings I had for Ittle Dew were in how it auto-saves. The game freezes when you change rooms so it can save. Most games have the decency to let you keep playing while it saves in the background, but this one locks everything in place like its ab...

We take another look at the Mercs team if they were affected by other curses. Last time we had robo-Mercs and this time... Monster Mercs! Mercy is somehow cute no matter what. It's the glasses.
Quick Critique: Dragon's Crown
I had mentioned in my Double Dragon Neon critique that I thought one of the best things about that game was how it added RPG elements to a beat 'em up. Those elements like equipment, leveling up a character, and skill trees are the only way to do beat em u...
