Bit of an unorthodox post, but I thought I’d show what some typical thumbnails for the comic look like.

Her customer service skills are top notch but her hands are too big for the cash register ❤️‍🩹

End of the line (pp. 53-54)

As always, work is ongoing, and as we approach the end of Chapter 2 I'm giving more thought to what the most effective work schedule may be. Chapter 1 was made in large chunks rather than 4 page batches, giving a period of rumination and a view of the big picture that was beneficial despite...

Oh wow, 150 followers! That was sudden. Here, have a life size Bola hand (ft. my hand and a 5lb chicken to scale) I sketched a bit ago for fun/practice. It's 14 inches long, and 17.5 inches wide splayed out. I also roughed in an outline of her head to better contextualize it.

One of the beauties of post processing is that it lets me play around on the raw sheets with no consequences

50 pages reached, hooray! Only 3 pages this update so we can get back in sync with the intended page turn order next update, which the spread a few pages ago threw off. Odd pages are left pages in chapter 2. (pp. 50-52)

First time posting the new update I forgot to make it a reply, second time bsky put the pages in the wrong order. Third time’s the charm as soon as I get back from the Burger Store. Apologies folks

Bit of a deal sweetener, starting with the coming update I’ll be peppering some easter eggs in the raw scans available for T2 subs. Here’s an example. Also, I’m probably moving next update’s release date to Dec. 20th.

Under construction

Now that I've reached 100 followers (thank you!) I want to do a celebratory Q and A. If you're curious about anything to do with the world or process, leave a comment and I'll answer if it doesn't spoil anything. If it's a fun one, I might throw in a doodle, too. (I may take a while to answer)

I’m still alive, by the way. Work ongoing

Bad news: no update on the 27th, because I’ve been procrastinating. Good news: I’ve been procrastinating by doing concept art and learning to make environmental references in blender, which will improve the comic in the future.

GORGEOUS work by @zyonji.bsky.social over here! Absolutely exquisite detail on the demonic background elements, I can’t stop staring at it- really amazing stuff. Thank you!

Among the most massive living things in all the Eastern Cuplands, ogratox trees are built to survive the tremendous blazes of the long Kunoese dry season, natural or cannymade. Huge lateral root systems push back more flammable trees, and yard-thick bark absorbs what flames lap at their extremities.

I spent quite a while on this spread. (pp. 41-45)

Looking likely that the update will be delayed until the 21st. Besides just having more time in the oven, I’d rather these pages come out when my hemisphere is awake. Thank you for your patience! Enjoy this in the meantime.

Should still be on track for the 20th. Worst case, the 21st. Post processing the comic's first spread now.

!!! Lookie here, my roommate drew Bola! She looks so good!

Memento mori

Update forecast: actually going to be a 5 page update on January 1, and I'll aim for a further 8 on January 27th, which'll be the 1st anniversary of me starting page 1's illustrations. This is partly to avoid reinjuring my hand, which doing 4 pages' worth of illustrations in ~8 days came close to.

Reminding the good folks at home about my patreon- where there are high-res versions of comic pages and all the raw assets involved in its creation! Four more dollars and the google drive I use to store this will be paying for itself!

Taking steps to improve my efficiency with these next batches of pages. Current forecast is a 4 page mini-update by November 19th, and a further 8 or 9 by January 1, depending on how the holidays shake out.

I got a fun ask on tumblr

Happy Halloween! I'm pleased to present the start of Cascade's second chapter- Periphery! The pilot is being rechristened as Chapter 1: Natural Predator. Apologies for the long wait, now that my hand is (mostly) better it shouldn't happen again. (pp. 29-32)

Update: Working, though my hand is not as healed as I thought, so it's a bit slow. Here's another panel, which we have taken to calling "scrung."

Here’s a little bit of proof that I’m still alive and work has resumed- I’m thinking that going forward, pages will be made and released in batches of 8 or so. I’m deciding if these should be in threads of a few dozen, or if they should just be appended to the existing thread for easy navigation.

Having now recovered from the wrist injury caused by crunching to complete the pilot, I’m now working on the next leg of Chapter 1. While I do so, I’d like to gauge people’s interest in buying printed copies of the pilot- signed and with a bespoke cover. Would any of you be interested in that?

It’s midnight. All the world stands in attendance for the annual show, the turning of the new year, the Hastial Breach. Rare is a cloudless night in the wet season. Rarer still a sight of the Rimelands, framing the world, basking as Anahast cleaves the sky in twain. Three travelers, weak and...

To clarify, letting me stay in your house does also get you the Patreon rewards. Upsidedownsmore, as my roommate, is a prime example of this.

As I'm working on the next installment, I set up a Patreon to get ahead of the coming fee increase. patreon.com/Snek_Inna_Tenk Two tiers right now, $2 gets you access to full resolution pages, $5 adds raw scans and post-processed illustrations. When more comes, it'll be added to what's available.

It's the beginning of the wet season. In the dark, something haunts the frontier. Something hungry. Strange things stalk the treeline in the world of 𝐶𝑎𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑑𝑒, my new comic! I hope you enjoy this 28 page pilot, and all that's to come! And remember, 𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑎 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟. (1/8, pp. 1-3)
