What’s Up With Collection #3?

on December 2, 2016

This is more or less a public service announcement to always, ALWAYS back up your computer, preferably in multiple places.

It’s also just me whining a little bit.

I had high hopes of getting the next Bardsworth collection out in early 2017 (even higher hopes of getting it done in time for No Such Convention in February). This is the batch of strips that moves into the era where I was saving things at a proper resolution for eventual printing. So theoretically, the book wouldn’t have taken me as long to do as the previous ones.

And then I went to look for said properly done files and… they’re gone. A chunk of about 50 strips is lost in the ether due to one of the handful of hard drive crashes I’ve suffered over the years.

So, as with the previous collections, I have to color this one in whole. Actually, it’s worse, because I have to RE-color a large portion of them. That’s just psychological torture. But, such is life, and the show must go on.

Long story short – new book will be out closer to late spring/early summer of 2017, and back your computers up frequently and in more than one place.

Happy Turkey Day!

on November 24, 2016

In the midst of all the holiday hoopla, the comic had to take a back seat.  But rather than make the line art available to just my patrons, since it’s Thanksgiving and I’m thankful for ALL of my readers, here it is for your reading pleasure.  I’ll try to have the colors done by Friday night, but if not, check back on the weekend.

Thanks for all of your weeks / months / years of reading my silly little comic!  Happy Thanksgiving!

Bonus Update: 10-17-16

on October 17, 2016

Here’s this month’s bonus update for remaining above the $100-a-month mark on Patreon!  If we ever reach $200, I’ll be obligated to do two extra updates a month.  Although there’s a part of me that hopes that doesn’t happen anytime soon, it’d be a problem I’d be willing to deal with.  😉

Patreon End of the Month Round-Up (for September)

on October 4, 2016

At the end of every month – or typically at the beginning of the following month – I try to gather together everything that I’ve done over at the Bardsworth Patreon page to show off what Bardsworth supporters get.  So here’s a little overview of what patrons got in September:

monthly-update

All patrons starting at $1 got the September wallpaper, which was a spoof of the label of one of my favorite beers, Arrogant Bastard Ale.

$5-and-up patrons got a glimpse of Lilly, another one of Fawn’s sisters. There was also a behind-the-scenes post for said patrons.

$10 patrons got a long overdue fifth page of the still untitled bonus comic.

Before the end of the month, the $5-and-up patrons got one more of Fawn’s sisters to look at (Willow).

There was also a preview of one page and an early update of another.

In addition, since we’re still above the $100-per-month goal, there was a bonus update!

See what you’re missing out on? Become a Bardsworth supporter today and get all this great stuff!
