Hello all, I hope this message finds you before you kill me lol

It has been brought to my attention that I'm a raging idiot and that I set up the shipping wrong lol

So disregard that "charging shipping" notification. I'm going to get on the horn with Backerkit and get that fixed!

Hello all, I hope this message finds you well!

I have received the books in the mail & I am moving on in the shipping process. I'm assuming I can have everything shipped out by the end of next week!

As far as the PDF's go, backerkit has me kinda locked behind processes before I can send them out. However, once I'm free to do so those digital pages are so freaking ready to be slidden...slode...slided...??...delivered into your inbox's!

Just wanted to throw a lil update your way, BUT if you want to see them...I did an unboxing video on my youtube! Link included - https://youtu.be/jIt2vdpKxss?si=WIB8qFyycB1ZL4OM

Until next time!

Hello all, I hope this message finds you well!

I'm at the whim of Backerkit, (at least a little bit) on how much I can do. The surveys have been sent out, make sure you fill those out so you can get your rewards! I can't send out the PDF's at least until people finish that out (steps & whatnot)

That being said, I'm going to order the physical books today & leave it in the printer's hands! And then we play the best game ever of all time...the waiting game. 

So make sure you get those survey's filled out and we can move this process right on along!

Hello all, I hope this message finds you well!

As it turns out, I girlbossed a little close to the sun & finished the art portion of the graphic novel!! WOOOO!!! Scream, party, good times were had by all.

So...what now?

Currently I am grinding my way into getting the layout & lettering done, with which I aim to have done by THIS WEEKEND. Then I'll be getting the PDF's sent to all you lovely backers AND sent off to the printer to get brewed together into a beautiful book for your hands & eyes to feast upon.

With this being part 1 of the series, the first five chapters, what is my plan for the next part? Currently I have been writing it & am working on the writing of chapter 8. Whew...has my process changed already! My aim is to have the next part ready to be crowdfunded for printopia 2026. IF not, it will be very close to being done and the wait won't be as long. 

So I didn't write a character showcase for this week because of my excitement of getting done & locking in for the lettering and layout stage. Would you rather have a showcase...or the book? I know I would choose the book.

Until next time!

Hello everyone, I hope this message finds you well!

Today I wanted to update you on chapter 5! Currently I am about to start on page 8 & progress is churning right on along. It's hard to say when I could actually ship these off to the printers, but I imagine it will be either by the end of next week or the beginning of the next. Sounds professional, amiright? Regardless, I'm averaging about a page per day and I'm about over halfway on this particular chapter...so you'll have it in your hands soon enough!

Before we get onto the character showcase I wanted to take a second to advertise that I stream on both Twitch & YouTube! Every Monday night, so go subscribe so you can hang out with me while I draw stuffs. I also post semi-regularly on there so you can see my ugly mug first hand.




Onto the character showcase!

Today we are talking about Dominic "Dom" Hightower.

Dom is an ex-mercenary for Terrace who was previously one of their top soldiers. But he found himself a casualty of a nasty battle in the way that he lost both his arms and legs. Terrace & Dr Glass gave him a second chance by giving him mechanical limbs that function at a greater speed and strength than his previous limbs afforded. The price? Keep fighting.

This agreement went well for some time until he found out that Terrace had reanimated the bodies of children & turned them into killing machines. After going rogue, they sent J.03 after him. But Dom was ready! He was able to hit J.03 with a small EMP to render him useless. So he brings him back to his small group of ex-Terrace forces and has him reprogrammed. Dom is now hellbent on a mission to bring down Terrace for all the horrible things they have done to him & others...

At the start of the comic series we see that he has been apprehended by Terrace & is being interrogated. But what they don't know is that he orchestrated the whole thing to get information on their new super weapon - The Goliath - and plans on using a newly reprogrammed J.03 (renamed Joe) to break out...and nothing will be able to stop him from doing so.
