Glowing Hearts
633 comics.
Part of the purpose of these is to set-up things for future issues, but literally any of the wrestling stuff is coming in probably 2022.
Realizing that I have to create everyone’s family, not just the ones you’ll see: Not actually true, but I still did it.
So the plan is, eventually, to make a bonus arc of sorts, in a different format. Probably a mix of storyboard and social media post, and add it to a collection. I don’t know if what I want to do[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Writing a comic and passing it off to someone else to draw is an absolutely wild concept to me, because the text in this page was being changed up to the last step before publishing it.
Are you sure though?

Listen I had to use Linux for six months at a job once on a computer that wasn’t built for it. I have opinions.
One of the things I’ve been attempting with this comic is sticking to less values of gray (I’m only using 85%, 65% and 40% if you were curious) than previous chapters (In the last couple I used everything from 25%-90%).[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

This is Flip’s set that takes happens over the course of this chapter. I had to double check some facts here and there and some of them are a little off but imaginary time management is tough.
A handful of chapters have titles with “Dance” in them to tie them together as a solid block of time. I originally tried to use 5 song titles with “Party” in them, but couldn’t find enough that were thematically appropriate[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I go out of my way to draw Dietrius’ reaction to each character, even when they’re cut off by word bubbles.
Thank you for reading this chapter. I’ll be back next month some time with the next one. I’ll have little bits and baubles for you in the mean time, or, possibly, I won’t. Comics is work.
Originally, 8 and 9 were the same chapter but it ran REALLY long. I’ll try to have the second half of Flip’s DJ set on Thursday.
This took longer because there was more organization involved than I suspected when I started! I’ll have a few bonus things for you over the next few weeks while I work on the new chapter and freelance. Also: One of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I don’t remember if I specifically went out of my way to avoid drawing every single character in a lot of panels, but if I did I’m very smart.
How do you pronounce “catch?” because I started making a pun for this page title, and realize I pronounce it three different ways and it made it impossible.
