It’s Rottin’

Picture
I don’t know how to justify my enjoyment of the works of Gordon Ramsay.  Something about the staged “reality” television of him yelling at inept restaurant and hotel owners is cathartic.  If he ever appeared in a movie like this, I would watch the HELL out of it.

The Letters of the Devil

Picture
Work was slow this week, but I’m almost a third of the way through the pencils!  So that’s something!

Never Go Home


So no surprise here, since I warned you it was coming, but Never Go Home
did not get finished.  I apologize for the delay, but I would rather it be late and good than on time and mediocre.  I still definitely want to finish it, and my revised goal is to complete it by the end of November.  Stay tuned for more updates!


Wrap-Up


And now, off to enjoy Halloween!  Stay safe, and have yourselves a spooktacular time!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Never Go Home Character Art

I hit some script issues with Never Go Home, so I don’t have much to say beyond the fact that I think it’ll be later than I was hoping.  I wanted to give you something concrete, though, so have some character designs as my weekly illustration!

I’m a little confused, to be honest.  I just counted twice, and I have 56 pages completed.  I thought I had 57. Oh well, it’s one page.

Upcoming Events


I have a couple cons for next year that I’m finalizing my arrangements with.  I should be able to announce them by the next newsletter.

If you know of any events that are accepting artists, let me know!


Experimental Offerings


For a while now, I’ve been looking for new things to offer my lovely Patrons, especially once higher reward tiers are revealed.  Over the next couple of months, I intend to start testing out a few of my proposed ideas. These tests will 
not be exclusive to Patrons, as I need as much feedback as I can get.

Some of the tests I plan to roll out are:

1. 
Art Streams.  Using a streaming service, I would regularly walk viewers through the live creation of a CosPain strip.  Sometimes I would be working solo, while other times I would be bringing on a guest to talk about comics, cosplay, and anything else relevant to the strip.

2. 
RPG Podcasts.  I am in a roleplaying group that meets online every week for a game, and we have discussed recording our game sessions for online distribution.  I have been working on a new campaign setting that I hope to be able to roll out in the not-too-distant future, and I would be very interested in streaming it or posting an edited recording of it.

3. 
AMAs.  I don’t know how often I would practically be able to do these, but I would love to have a stream where you can ask me questions directly.  You get these newsletters from me every week, but I’d love the opportunity to talk to you guys and get to know you more.

I will give you plenty of advance warning once I have dates for these experimental offerings.

For the month of October, I’ve decided to drop my penciled pages per week to 10 to allow me to work on Never Go Home.  More on that soon.

​Wrap-Up


Nothing quite like a successful week after having been sick!  If you want to support my work further, please visit my

Greetings and salutations!

Welcome, old friends, and some of the new friends I met at CXC.  Without any further ado, let’s begin!


Released this Week


CosPain #64: Fakeout

Illustration of the Week


“SHAZAM! Starring Eugene Levy”

Okay, a quick explanation: I was talking to my friend Ian about the new Shazam!
 movie.  He tried to name the lead actor, Zachary Levi, and accidentally said Eugene Levy.  I couldn’t stop laughing for five minutes. I would watch the HELL out of that movie.

Inktober 2018
​
For those of you who are unfamiliar, Inktober is an annual event where artists around the country make one ink illustration a day, every day, for the entirety of October.  I will be using the official prompts, available here. Since some of the illustrations are NSFW (‘tis the month of horror, after all!), I am providing links rather than dropping them into the newsletter.  Enjoy!


Inktober #1: POISONOUS

Inktober #2: TRANQUIL

Inktober #3: ROASTED (NSFW!)

Inktober #4: SPELL

Inktober #5: CHICKEN

Inktober #6: DROOLING

Inktober #7: EXHAUSTED


Upcoming Events


Nothing for now.  If you know of any events that are accepting artists, let me know!


The Letters of the Devil

Not quite as much progress this week as I’d hoped.  Getting a last-minute table at CXC threw me for a bit of a loop, and I ended up contracting the dreaded con crud, which slowed me down a bit.  I’ll make up the difference in the coming weeks.  Once this crud’s been fully kicked, that is.

​Wrap-Up


All right, time for some healing soup.  If you want to support my work further, please visit my
