First thing’s first, I have to announce that Blythe vs. the Werewolf’s update schedule has changed from “every other month” to ”when it’s good and ready.” When I first started posting it, of course I worried I’d have to do this eventually. But life happens, and all you can do is adjust! And it isn’t even bad life stuff! I’d picked up more hours at work for the summer, and I just haven’t been able… Read more Losing Track & Getting It Back

Running up that revision hill
Revision is hard. I always forget just how hard until I dive into it. The good news is, I’m making headway on Blythe vs. the Werewolf! I’m hoping to post the first installment in January, though the exact date is TBD. I’m trucking along with revisions and thumbnail sketches, but I’m unsure on how long it’ll all take to get everything to a presentable level. Although I’ve (mostly) gotten over the fear of things Not… Read more Running up that revision hill
State of the Draft: Blythe vs. the Werewolf
Back in June, I wrote about my decision to change Blythe vs. the Werewolf’s format. It took longer than intended, but I’ve finished converting the comic script into a prose draft. And I’ve been sitting on it for over two weeks now. The original plan was to have BvtW ready to post by Halloween, but that’s unfortunately not going to happen. Not if I want to put out something that’s actually readable. Between the post-draft… Read more State of the Draft: Blythe vs. the Werewolf
On changing format
What do I do when I realize I’m having a hard time keeping up with blog posts? Do I accept that I’m just not good at blogging and try something else, or do I force myself to keep up with it? I’m doing this mainly for me, so I shouldn’t be afraid to be bad at it, right? I have a similar struggle when it comes to drawing, and especially when it comes to comic… Read more On changing format
Staying on Track
Something I struggle with is maintaining a consistent workflow on my personal projects. If there’s a real-world consequence for me missing a deadline, that’s a great motivator for me! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to convince my brain to apply that to my comics and writing. At least not when I’m still in the more nebulous planning and drafting stages. Sure, I’ve given myself the vague goal of “Finish something to the point that it’s… Read more Staying on Track
Spooky Story Skeletons
It’s April, which means it’s a Camp NaNoWriMo month! While I’m not officially participating in Camp NaNo this month, I’m still using April to draft the Blythe vs. the Werewolf script. Before diving into the draft, I wanted to get some prep work done. The hope is that if I’m well prepared, I won’t spend the entire comic-making process floundering. Since it’s a visual medium, I want to get the design elements—like character and setting… Read more Spooky Story Skeletons
Project Spotlight: Blythe vs. the Werewolf
Last post, I shared some sketches for Blythe vs. the Werewolf, the short standalone comic I’ll be working on between now and October. I’ll definitely have more sketches of werewolf and character designs in upcoming posts. This week, though, I want to go a bit more into the project itself. The titular character, Blythe Bonfils, is a wizard who takes on odd jobs of the magical variety. The comic takes place ten to fifteen years… Read more Project Spotlight: Blythe vs. the Werewolf
Werewolves on the brain
Psst! Hey, you! Ya like werewolves? I sure hope so! I’ve been thinking a lot about werewolves lately, and there’s a reason for that! Last post, I mentioned that I’m taking a break from work on Strange Company to focus on a short comic. It’s called Blythe vs. the Werewolf, and it features—you guessed it—at least one werewolf. The titular character of BvtW plays a big role in Strange Company. It takes place over a… Read more Werewolves on the brain
