Weekly Update 6/13/2024

Man, I been falling behind on Daily Updates because its like... I'll be half way through a sketch and not want to post it. LOL. Anyway, this is what I've been working on. A little bit of coloring and a lot of sketching for Part 4.

Daily Update 6/11/2024

I think I'm pretty much done with this page (aside from lettering) I just had a bunch of anatomy and perspective issues to fix. Also, for some reason Colt's arm was coming out sort of... purple-ish instead of looking like scar tissue. Really happy...

Daily Update 6-5-24

This represents some of what I was able to get done these past couple of days. I meant to upload the first page on Monday, and the second Page on Tuesday, but they got away from me a little bit. I need to clean up some things and fix some anatomy...

I'm back from Vacation, Here's the plan

Starting Monday I'm going to start working on Toph Heavy Part 4. I'm going to do things a little bit differently with this one. Previously, I did things sequentially. As in First I drew page 1, then I drew page 2, then page3, etc.

Weekly Update 5/16/2024

So we're on to Chapter 4, and I'm trying to do at least 4 pages at a time in the hopes of getting through the next few chapters quickly. I'll probably fail but it's worth trying.

Daily Update 5/15/2024

So you know how I said I was feeling better after being sick and was going to get back to work? Yeah, my body made a liar of me and I was knocked down for another week. Sorry. I am much better now. I can actually breathe and sit up straight witho...

Weekly Update 5/9/2024

I don't want to go into details but I've been ill and didn't get much done this week. Hopefully next week will be better. The basic lighting in all of my pages starts off as cel shading because its easier to work out how the light falls across fo...

Daily Update 4/29/2024

I made a lot of progress today. I did a couple of redraws, and cleaned up the next five pages.

Weekly Update 4/26/2024

I got 3 pages for you today. One thing I learned from the Rockini Piece... I really need to focus on backgrounds. In that piece I specifically decided on and painted the background before I did anything with Toph. That isn't my typical workflo...

Weekly Update 4-17-2024

Hey guys, back at it again. Had to take a break last week due to some personal drama, but I think (hope) that it's been taken care of. I'm kind of upset because I was on fire with the recent Toph Rockini Pin Up, and now I feel super c...

Toph Pin-Up "I call it the Rockini"

I've been feeling unhappy with my work lately, so I enrolled in some online illustration courses to try and improve, but before I go through them, I want to establish a baseline. I'm at the point with this now where I feel like any adjustment I ma...

Weekly Update 4-5-2024

I am taking a break this week to do a pin up of Toph to sort of gauge where my skills are. This is still a WIP.

This should be finished by the e...

Daily Update 4-2-2024

For starters, just as a reminder, Subscribestar is a thing.

No Toph Heavy news today for a few reasons. I said on twitter I was feeling stagnant as an artist, an...

Weekly Update 3-28-2024

Hey, an on-time weekly update. How about that? So I wrote the script for the Teresa comic. I'm not sure if you all would be interested in that. And I also got some pages done this week. As a reminder, thanks to the TOS and continued hostility towa...

Daily Update 3-25-2025

Hey, just some touch ups and finishing touches on pages. I'm going to take a day to see if anything that needs fixing stands out.

I removed the r...

Weekend Update 3-24-2024

Normally, I try to take my weekends off to avoid burn out, but I liked this page so much that I kept working on it. The big change here is that I added dialogue and a rimlight. Where is the Rimlight coming from? Who cares. It looks neat. But I als...

Daily Update 3-23-2024

An extra page inked, flatted, and rendered all in one sleepless night. I'm trying to improve the rate at which I do things because I currently have 5 projects in the works. I need to be quicker. I think the reason I am so slow is that the...

Weekly Update 3-22-2024

This week has been exhausting. Gumroad banning NSFW. Changes to Patreon. And it looks like soon you'll be able to be sued for posting rule 34 to Twitter. I didn't get much done. The temptation to go in to a rant is very strong, but I just wanna o...

Daily Update 3-19-2024

Follow up to my last post. Thanks to TOS changes I am divorcing Toph Heavy from this patreon. Unless Patreon forces me to do this sooner, Toph Heavy is moving to subscribest...

A very important post about the future of Toph Heavy and this Patreon

I know this is very long. I've tried to make it digestable, but still, as daunting as it may be... please read it. It's very important.

I'm going to start with an admission. I am barely getting by. All...

Toph Heavy Part 3 - Chapter 3 - Page 11

I may make some minor adjustments, but this one's finally 99% done and worth sharing. 

Weekly Update 3-14-2024

So this was kind of a "slow" week in that I got stuck trying to fix a page. I think I'm almost there, and I plan to post the finished thing tomorrow.  Going back and forth on little minutia is the kind of thing I'm hesitant to give a daily up...

Daily Update 3-12-2024

So I didn't update yesterday because I was recovering from a weekend marathon of FF7 Rebirth. I was able to finish it. I laughed. I cried. I screamed WTF. Highly recommended.

Moving on. I think I'm like 90% finished with this page.

Daily Update 3-8-2024

Kind of a "small" update today. I wasn't feeling too good and decided to take it easy by putting some finishing touches on a page that was almost complete.  As I was putting those finishing touches on I realized...."wait a minute, these propo...

Weekly Update 3-7-2024

There was no daily update yesterday because there was a huge snowfall, and my snowblower broke, so my arms were dead for almost the entire day. Sorry.

Daily Update 3-5-2024

Only got this page rendered. We got about a foot of snow and I spent half the day shoveling. More snow tomorrow too, so there will likely only be one thing to show tomorrow too.

Daily Update 3-4-2024

Today was busy and I didn't get as much as I wanted to done. Monday is a day when I'm warming up for the rest of the week.  First is an upcoming project. A comic commission of Lois Lane growing some huge tats after a chance encounter with som...

Daily Update - 3/1/2024
