Haha I could probably write an entire episode about this scenario but there’s no time to draw all of it

Nov 12, you posted draw this again. Would you mind trying to tell main reasons why you feel like 2014 is better for you? Why so much change in style? I'm trying to analyze your style and not in anyway disrespect you.

Interesting question, thanks. 08 version I made simply to demonstrate technical skill and it’s already decent enough that I didn’t need to improve the pose or anatomy a second time. In the 14 version I figured I should tackle the design aspects instead. Don’t get me wrong, I still like cel-shaded anime stuff but doing it a third time might’ve been dull (or maybe not??? Maybe I’ll have to try once again haha)

Basically I feel 08 and 14 are both alright drawings but 14 shows progress in character design, colors and composition. Those are super important for an artist to learn but I guess they’re harder to recognize, what with being more subjective than a standard “how do body parts work” type of thing

Also sorry for the lack of comic updates, I’ve had a rough time lately and had to disappear from the internet for a bit. Lots of priorities to juggle atm, but I’m working on new pages as much as I can.

In any case thanks for sticking around, you guys have been consistently awesome and I couldn’t wish for better readers! Sorry again for making you wait!

Anonymous said: I ADORE your art and I get really inspired whenever I read Phantomland - your skill and dedication really are worth recognition and I love reading the comic over and over again. I also fear I have a crush on Jon..

Reading it several times even!! I admire your dedication, thank you so much, it means a lot to me. And welcome to the club with the rest of our Jon fans hahaha…. I feel he’s gotten even more popular now that Nirvana Jon (Jorvana) got introduced

Anonymous said: I once saw a picture of Amber smiling with another guy and had mistaken that for Elias. I thought that’s why they work together with Jon until I realized that was someone else. So how did Amber and Elias end up working for him?

This guy? I didn’t figure he’d look much like Elias at all, but I guess they have pretty similar facial hair! Welp I was thinking of redesigning the character anyway…

Thanks, that’s a good question though. It’s a complicated story how the trio got together. Officially Elias was hired as Jon’s personal medic while Amber showed up to be a “trophy wife”, but it’s not the whole truth and they’re maintaining this facade to keep a low profile. There’s more interesting stuff going on behind the scenes, though it’s spoiler territory so I’ll keep my mouth shuuuut
