Puzzle and Dragons is the perfect 5 minute fix
Okay so I’ve pretty much given up gaming since I came back to comics. I just didn’t have the time for the usual RPG dungeon crawler stuffs I tend to gravitate towards. Well I found a new perfect fix for a few minutes everyday on my iphone. Puzzle and Dragons !! It’s like Pokemon meets Magical Drop has very limited stamina that you can use to play for short periods of...
donacheshiregrin asked: I've been waiting for Off*beat 3 since 2 came out, and I had a question. Would it be possible to release a special box set of all 3 for us die hard fans when it comes out? I'd totally get it, as my 1 and 2 are getting a bit worn out. ;)

I'm ALIVE! for the most part...
So I want to apologize to those who have so kindly commented and asked questions about my projects. I’m going to try to get back to them. It’s been a rough couple of months. I hate going into my personal life, (it always sounds like a bunch of pathetic excuses) but I feel I owe some explanation for being rather quiet online. I’ve been busy being sicker than I’ve ever...

gyimcha asked: Hi! I'm really happy volume 3 of Off*Beat is finally being released!! I've missed that series so much and it's been a long and patient journey. I was wondering, maybe you can print the omakes/short comics you posted on your DA as extras in the newer prints? They're always really cute and I'd love to have them in a physical form and on my bookshelf. I'm definitely most...

Off*Beat 1,2 re-printing What extras would you...
So this month I will be working on new covers for books 1+2 of Off*beat. They will be reprinted with my new publishing company and match the layout, logo ect of the eventual book 3. I would like to add some extra content, and my publishers have agreed to possibly adding a limited copy insert as well.
I’d like to know what the patient, patient, (bless your souls ;_;) patient readers of...

The wonderful staff at Mangamagazine has offered my series a promotion and I have decided to take the leap and make Mangamagazine the main hosting site for Witch’s Quarry. What does this mean...

Bookmark Winners, MM Nov Results, Off*beat 2013?
Season’s Greetings! First of all I wanted to thank everyone who for took the time to write me a few thoughts on Witch’s Quarry. This month has been difficult to muster any creative energy, (Nov/Dec is terribly demoralizing when you work retail) and these notes were a life line for me. I was originally planning to draw a couple names to send the bookmarks to, but seeing there was 7...

Holiday Rewards and Contest
Greetings!
I designed some bookmarks to give as an additional thanks to those who have supported my comic through donations. They are hand laminated, cut and signed by me, so there may be some small imperfections. It’s not much I know…just a small gesture…but still I feel super compelled to show my deep gratitude for their generosity!
If you donate $10, please pick one of the...

So tired
When did I start to truly dread the “holiday season”? Not sure when exactly all the fun got completely sucked out of it to be replaced with stress, obligations and financial crisis. Probably when I became an adult. I get really depressed and tired about this time of year. I can’t wait for February/March already ): I’m not so much a Grinch because I hate happiness,...

Please support Witch's Quarry Featured on MM
Hey Guys, So Witch’s Quarry has been featured on Mangamagazine.net! The staff has been very friendly and cool! There is little monetary compensation, given based on reader traffic, so if you’d like to show your support the comic there, I’d be forever grateful. Any proceeds I receive will go towards my extra page donation pool.
Who knows? With enough readership, I might be able...

Final Results of the WQ OC contest!
So I had the absolutely impossible time trying to pick a grand prize winner for the original character creation contest. The more and more I tried to envision a short 3-5 page comic based on one of the characters, the more attached I started to become. I decided that I wanted to give them all a bit more of a place in the story, rather than just some character slapped in the background of a...

Rogue X Knight Conclusion
So I have to be honest. I think I’ve always struggled with extreme fears of being misunderstood. I’ve tried to be a bit more “free” in my writing and art but I have learned from Rogue X Knight that I still have gut-twisting paranoia, even in the fairly anonymous void of the interweb. Posting Rogue X Knight was a bit of a harrowing experience with me. I felt totally...

WQ OCC contest Ended/ Be kind
Made an announcement about the results of the Witch’s Quarry OC Contest.
http://witchsquarry.smackjeeves.com/
My cat Emma, passed away yesterday. It was eerie how many memories of watching my dad passing away, her passing revived in me. She had a large tumor in the right side of her chest cavity that was blocking her ability to breath. Her symptoms were hidden for a long time and when...

Oh man I am rocking out these pages. I’m super excited for book 2. whoot whoot.
I feel like the story and characters are finally starting to come to where I envisioned them. My technique is still the same but I keep adding more layers. My computer is starting to protest XD!!

Improvements are slow but steady
I’ve started production of book 2 and my most recent scene revisited an event taking place in chapter 6. I’ve learned a bit from working on RxK and I think although my process hasn’t really changed per say, it’s looking a bit more polished? I’d like to think so anyway. Humor to my delusions ;_; I did a side by side comparison and felt about 80+ pages later, there...

Fluer du Mal on loop
I get up, go to work, eagerly rush across the parking lot, come home and take 10 minutes to make something forgettable to eat, and sit at my computer and art the day away. Crawl into bed with a sore neck. Go to sleep and rinse and repeat. I’m tired like all the time. Yet I somehow find this INCREDIBLY repetitive lifestyle enthralling. Not sure how I have such a high thresh hold for the...

back from the road
goodness gracious.
I’ve been away from the drawing desk for a week! craziness of the road trip. It was a nice break but it’s always a bit tough getting back into the swing of things. I managed to have a lot of time in the car to stew away at insecurities. The last 10 pages of my RxK script kept getting last minute changes. Now I’m debating on whether or not to keep all of...

The style change that never was
So remember the DnD campaign that never made it past level 3?
I was digging through some old stuff and found some drawings I did of those characters while I was waiting for my turn in battle.
I was trying really hard to get away from my usual “manga” influenced style but it hurt my brain trying to draw the same characters looking the same over and over again. I ended up drawing my...

Witch's Quarry got spotlit on smackjeeves~Thank...
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the readers and supporters of my comic works. I’m really very speechless to have been added to the spotlight page, thanks to nomination and support!
I figure rather than drawing thank you pinups, I would just keep trying to update my comic and make it the best I can.
Also thanks to those who have already submitted OC’s for my contest!...

Bathing...like a sir!
I’ve gotten in the habit of taking baths instead of showers. It helps relax my neck and shoulders that get ridiculously stiff/sore from all my constant hunched over drawing/CGing. It so happens that I found this to be perfect “research” for a fun little bath time scene in RxK. I almost cut this scene out of the original script because of how unnecessary three pages of hairless...

So I posted this on my DA already but for those of you who might not use DA, I thought I’d update here as well. Thanks to those who voted!! Wesyng led the poll by a good margin so I’m going to do his background story first. I do plan on doing them all eventually. I jumped right in, because I was totally starting to panic when I didn’t know what to work on after work...

Taking a Poll for Witch's Quarry Character short.
To copy + paste from my DA journal cuz I’m lazy.
So I’m pretty much finished the first major installment of Witch’s Quarry chapters 1-6 and 177 pages. whee. The second book script needs a lot of work, and I have a few short character prequel stories fleshed out that I’d like to do while I work on refining book 2. Since I try not to be biased with my characters, I’m...

Nerves and anticipation
I know I’m always being ridiculous in my insecurities…(I am being ridiculous? right? RIGHT?? j/k hehe) but I tend to worry more about my story/character progression then my art work. Not because I think my artwork is wonderful and all, but I guess because I might be naively thinking that story is what is most important. Well what’s most important to me anyway.

thanks for everyday
Maybe I’m just on the high point of comics emotional roller coaster again, but this week as I was rushing home from work (as usual) I came to realize something wonderful.
I’m excited for everyday. I’m excited to work on my story. I’m excited for people to read the story. I’m excited to read their reactions, their questions, opinions, and yes even criticisms.

draw draw draw..and you don't stop
So I just finished chapter 4 last night. Oh it’s so euphoric! It’s like I finally caught up with that magical, dangling carrot on the stick long enough to hold it in my grubby hands and smell that carroty goodness. Life is good again.
And just to keep patting myself on the back, I read the whole chapter through a couple times to check for flow and it worked to my satisfaction and...

Just another two cents worth.
Witch’s Quarry is still being updated daily until otherwise announced. Chapter 4 will be in glorious color. Color production will be unsustainable at a daily schedule, with my retail job and my work on Off*beat. It will have to slow down most likely to 3 days week by the end of May when Off*beat picks up and my buffer gets consumed. I’m disappointed with the idea of slowing down my...
