Hey folks, I’m afraid the hiccup will last longer since I had a very unexpected emergency surgery.
My recovery is very slow since my appendix exploded about 24 hours before I made it to the ER.
Still alive thanks to modern medicine and the very kind folks at my local small-town hospital.

I will keep hitting the pause button here so no one will be charged.

Hey everyone, I hope you're doing well.
My apology for falling behind on the next chapter of MD. When I returned from hiatus last year, I had already drawn CH.92-95 and just had to color them monthly.
This month is more challenging as I'm drawing and coloring CH.96 simultaneously without a buffer. My estimate of completing the next 50 panels within a month was overly optimistic.
Moreover, unanticipated non-comic obligations consumed more time than anticipated.
I feel t...

Heyo, just letting you know what I can finish next month on Patreon:
Current status:
If you haven't read the short updates posted this year, this is the full chapter to read after Ch.94.
I wrote this chapter like if it's a chapter of a novel.
The calm before the storm is officially over (^^')
The recommended soundtrack is on MD spotify playlist, to be played in order:<...

PDF attached below, if you need a refresher of who the extra characters are, I also attached a quick recap. They showed up many chapters ago.
This is the last part of Chapter 95.
I'll combined the PDF and add soundtrack suggestion tomorrow.

Kasei is going to wear that tight fitting shirt from here and out.
Where do I get the inspiration from?
Dexter's kill shirt lol
MD was inspired by many things I liked pre-2017.
Back then I was a big fan of Dexter before the show jumped the shark on its last two seasons. I never had the time to watch the reboot, and I heard it was no bueno. Lemme know if you watch the reboot or if...

This chapter takes a while to make because of the backgrounds. (-_-")
I usually try to avoid very defining backgrounds and go with something abstract to speed things up but unfortunately, once North and Cora leave the tree house, the environment needs to be defined.
Thankfully, my assistant Krisha is willing to help me with painting the forest.
The image above was her first stab on...

In the early draft, this scene takes place between Ch.94 and Ch.95 Part 1 but I cut it out cos it seem to slow down the pacing.
The third act should be fast paced cos the Chief has landed outside their hideout.
But I really like this scene cos it gives insight to his character.
Since making it ...

I haven't chosen an instrumental music companion yet, will do when I finished coloring all 106 panels of this chapter.
They met about 6 days ago in the story. What do you think of what North said, is he being a selfish asshole or just being human?

I’m still coloring the Ch.95 Panel 16-48, it should be finished some time next week.
The progress is slower this week as I've started on drawings future chapters to avoid hiatuses down the line.

I’d like to give you a heads up of what I can finish by the end of February:

Still shading the next part of CH.95. Planning to finish coloring panel 16-48 by the end of this month.
This week I finished rough sketches of Ch.96-97, they're around 90 panels total.
My assistant is currently flatting Ch.95 panel 49-106. I'm hoping to get some clean inked drawings done for her after she's done with her current tasks.
TGIF and enjoy your weekend!

I hope 2024 is off to a good start for you.
I had a rough start, finding out that 48 hours of food poisoning was no fun. Thankfully, Pepto and chicken soup came to the rescue. I'm good now but it set back my drawing by a few days.

Folks, just a heads up that updates will be slower from here on out.

I have two versions: PG-13 and R-rated, but they're pretty tame imho, nothing explicit.
Choose whichever suit your taste.

Today is Dec 19th already, the remainder of Ch.94 is most likely be ready after xmas, not before, like I wished it to be.
It’s better to binge Ch.80 to 94 in one sitting, but I can’t draw them fast enough. Some of you may not like how this turns out, but hopefully it's still a fun read (^^')
Should be finished before New Year’s Eve.

If making comic is like cooking fatty steak for dinner, then making the background is like steaming the broccoli for a healthy side dish.

To speed things up, I paint on top of a forest image. Hand-painting everything from scratch is doable, but it would have taken me 20-40 hours, instead of 2-3 hrs using the shortcuts above.
Just found out clipstudiopaint has this record timelapse button.
Is Captain Rivas good or bad? More will be revealed on the third act (Ch.95 and beyond).
Still working on Ch.94, should have more panels finished coloring by next week.
