This is as close to handicapable accessibility as it gets… All the places the Emperor doesn’t go (to the kitchens for example) have the regular stairs because everyone else trips on them.In other news,The first volume of The Meek, comprising the first 3 chapters, is happening soon. I’ve never done a KS before and the amount of work involved is crazy. So many goddamn art assets. But, I think the end result will be pretty sweet. Here’s what’s going to be involved:-new 8 pg prologue comic -art/ formatting overhaul (the faces are so bad to me now) -bonus shit -actual merch, which I have never made before and am terrified of -some really insane level artists contributing art to a limited set of prints -moarAnyways it’s gonna be nuts. I’ll mostly just be excited to sleep again. I’ll be posting a preview of the cover tonight on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/shingworks">Patreon</a>… probably Thursday the new tutorial/ worksheet of the month goes up (please <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/june-shingworks-5868977">nab your files</a> if you haven’t already!), then a SURPRISE that I’ve been holding out on until some time where I felt like a surprise was needed, which is now. I’ll post what it is when relevant~Oh yeah, last few days to back the <a href="http://kck.st/29gUtTQ">Elements Kickstarter</a>, I finally busted out my pages last last weekend, phew.Last but not least, our Patrons of highest renown~~ Some green graduations too :D<img src="http://images.shingworks.com/patreon/1%20john.png" /><img src="http://images.shingworks.com/patreon/2%20camille.png" /><a

IS ALIVE</a>Hello againThanks for your patience during the delay. If you’re on the Patreon you already know about it, but there was a death, and I’ve been out of town to support the family and help with the funeral and such. Been sneaking away in between all of that to finish this page, haha, a little bit rude… anyways this is my second funeral for 2016 so if we could cut it off right here that would be great~In case you missed the news, the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shingworks/the-meek-volume-1">Volume 1 Kickstarter</a> is doing incredibly well, pretty much breaking all of my estimations. We’re over 300% funded with another 24 DAYS to go, and have unlocked most of our stretch goals, including french flaps on the softcovers, bonus comics, increased paper quality, and print art from the artists <a href="http://notdrunkenough.net/">Tessa Stone</a>, <a href="http://geneha.com/">Gene Ha</a>, <a href="http://joyang.ca/artwork/">Joy Ang</a>, <a href="http://www.missmonster.com/">MissMonster</a>, <a href="http://www.witchycomic.com/">Ariel Ries</a>, and even freakin’ <a href="http://makanidotdot.tumblr.com/">Makani</a>. We’re only making a very limited amount of hardcovers for Volume 1 and those tiers are running very low, so if you’d like one of those it’s probably better not to wait since I am not planning on printing any more~Additionally, I’m trying to be back on track with comics, but I mean… death. Obviously my priorities shifted. But I’m jumping back into the 12x update schedule with both feet once I’m home. For current Patrons, you can also access the <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/6178046">new tutorial on researching for comics</a>, as well as the <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/july-shingworks-6183462">11-pg supplement</a> that goes along with it. I’ve been spending increasing amounts of time on these tutorials, and I think this one is my favorite so far. Emails to $10+ patrons will be going out tonight, I’m actually traveling home in about 30 mins so hopefully I’ll be able to get more done once I’m back in my actual workspace!Agh I need to pack haha. I have more news probably but I need to go~~ next page will be as fast as I can manage. Let me know if you have any questions about the KS; I’ll probably be deleting the previous post when I get home~ </section> Tue, 23 May 2017 08:00:22 +0000 The Meek | An epic adventure webcomic - 5.16 - August 20, 2016 http://www.meekcomic.com/comic/5-16/ <img alt="5.16" src="http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/TM_web_516.jpg" title="5.16" /><section class="entry-content-comic"><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shingworks/the-meek-volume-1"><img alt="kickstarter header" class="alignnone wp-image-2618 " height="159" sizes="(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px" src="http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/kickstarter-header.png" srcset="http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/kickstarter-header.png 1260w, http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/kickstarter-header-125x33.png 125w, http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/kickstarter-header-300x79.png 300w, http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/kickstarter-header-768x203.png 768w, http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/kickstarter-header-1024x271.png 1024w" width="601" /></a><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shingworks/the-meek-volume-1">THE MEEK VOLUME 1 KICKSTARTER – About 2 weeks left~</a>One of those pages that takes 2 seconds to read and forever to draw, haha. Oh wait that’s all of them XDNot much going on, just chugging along. The Kickstarter is doing pretty great, we just unlocked a new digital comic (in addition to the new prequel comic!) for all comic backers. This new one will be in the same vein as <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/6184015">The Tide</a>, if you managed to get your hands on that somehow by now (it’s been around a while), and will cover some more side stories I’ve got kicking around that don’t really fit in the main narrative. We also moved a few more hardcovers from the upper-most tier to a lower one… these won’t be reprinted, and are being kept intentionally limited to this KS only because they annoy me (lol) so yeah, now’s probably the time to grab one. If the campaign reaches the last stretch goal, all physical orders will receive some more free gifts as well~I’ve been covering some of the guest artists for the print tiers as well!

chapter so far:D :\ :D :\ :D :\so actingThanks so much again for looking at and helping the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shingworks/the-meek-volume-1/description">Meek V1 Kickstarter</a> a success. We unlocked every single stretch goal, and finished at a bit over $116,000 (about 5x more than I ever expected, haha). This month is about catching up with updates, logistics, and finalizing some last deets before the book goes to print. Super excited! And for those who continue to ask, yes, the book will be available if you missed the KS… my primary goal now though is to get these books printed and sent out. Softcovers will go on general sale when that is all taken care of, sometime in 2017~And for Patrons, in case you missed it, <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/clean-up-your-6676262">a new tutorial</a> that went up last weekend, as well as the <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/aug-shingworks-6681129">support worksheet</a>. If you’d like to vote for this months’ Patreon tutorial, you can do that <a href="https://goo.gl/forms/FcWWA7mc6raLGN5H2">here</a>!

In case you were confused, I’ve been:-redrawing and recoloring every page of the comic for the print version!! literally every single page. This took a very long time, and was worth it. -finalizing and ordering literally thousands of Meek reward items for KS backers… so much STUFF. -other boring logistical stuff that takes time to do. -patreon, Mare updates, etc, I slept a few times I think…So yeah, that’s where I’ve been… it is really important to me to make sure this book is as beautiful as possible so I decided to put the time in and really polish it the best I could. Hopefully all backers have picked up the <a href="https://gumroad.com/l/TMv1wp#">Volume 1 wallpaper set</a> already! If not, check out <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shingworks/the-meek-volume-1/posts/1696700">this post</a> with info on how to redeem yours :] The PDF copies of the book will be going out this month, I am just running it past a lot of people first to make sure it (and the print pages) are completely perfect. If you missed the campaign, I will likely be opening up limited preorders, will post here on that when it happens.In other news, I finally set up email notifications! If you don’t like RSS or the unreliability of social media notifications, you can now <a href="https://madmimi.com/signups/285447/join">get updates sent straight to your inbox</a>.<a href="https://madmimi.com/signups/285447/join"><img alt="mmad" class="wp-image-2666 aligncenter" height="260" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" src="http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/mmad.jpg" srcset="http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/mmad.jpg 1658w, http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/mmad-125x52.jpg 125w, http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/mmad-300x126.jpg 300w, http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/mmad-768x322.jpg 768w, http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/mmad-1024x429.jpg 1024w" width="620" /></a>I know I tend to update randomly… my normal schedule is 1x a week at least (recently less due to book fulfillment duties) but I always upload at the random time I finish it. With email notifications, you don’t have to check back on the site manually, and will get a simple notification (<a href="http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/example.jpg">here’s an example</a>) as soon as new pages are posted~ yayLast, I’ve been still hard at work on other stuff… there’s a giveaway contest running both on <a href="http://www.marecomic.com/">Mare Internum</a> and on the <a href="https://www.patreon.com/shingworks">Patreon</a> if you’re a MI reader! I’ll be doing giveaways more frequently now that I’m a Real Capitalist, will probably have some Kickstarter swag up for grabs in the upcoming months. The <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/new-branding-now-6925828">September tutorial</a> was also pretty popular in case you missed it, and there are two whole supplements unlocked this month as well to sweeten the deal.Anyways, sorry that’s a lot of info XD Basically I’ve been staring at Meek stuff for the past month straight and you haven’t, but I am slowly sliding back on track with everything, so see you next week with the next page! </section> Wed, 24 May 2017 08:00:44 +0000 The Meek | An epic adventure webcomic - 5.20 - October 25, 2016 http://www.meekcomic.com/comic/5-20/ <img alt="5.20" src="http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/TM_web_520a.jpg" title="5.20" /><section class="entry-content-comic">Time to spill the beans~No real updates, other than that the KS is coming along.

In case you missed the news, books are at the printers now and will be arriving in the US as scheduled in early 2017. But, you can grab your digital copy of the completely updated comic now, just check your backer email or backer messages for info on how to redeem that (and the wallpaper pack). I also took some time to start working on the bonus comic(s), which will be announced when they’re done… and of course, folks who missed the KS can find these items for sale separately at the <a href="https://gumroad.com/shingworks">Gumroad</a>.Speaking of busy stuff, things that are new to check out if you haven’t already<ul><li>a tutorial on my <a href="http://shingworks.tumblr.com/post/152774939693/challenge-your-deeper-understanding-with-the">comic coloring</a> method, once on Patreon, now free!</li><li>same deal, a tutorial on how I <a href="http://shingworks.tumblr.com/post/153954062953/writing-for-webcomics">write comics</a>, again now free to read</li><li>as usual, all <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/december-update-7401138">$5+ Patrons</a> have access to all bonus content and the full tutorial archive (and new for 2017, giveaway club :[__])</li><li>and old news, but <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/december-update-7401138">Mare Internum</a> wrapped up a bit ago and the Interlude is happening soon</li></ul>Also this is the first time I’ve drawn Luca’s face in the comic since 2010, I honestly haven’t drawn him at all since then (only painting, which is not quite the same).

TM has been around forever, and has collected a handful of nice reviews, but I don’t think I’ve ever made it onto a list before, and certainly not a legit one like this! haha… anyways it was a really nice surprise, and I’m in some wonderful company it looks like.And, if you’re into my other comic, <a href="http://www.marecomic.com/">Mare Internum</a> should be updating tomorrow too so there’s that to look forward to.

But ComicsVerse did an <a href="https://comicsverse.com/meek/">interesting writeup</a> about an aspect of The Meek, the platonic nudity in the comic. We’re not in the Angora chapters at the moment obviously but~ I thought it was nice! Sometimes it’s hard to talk about aspects of the comic because I’m covering a lot of ground, slowly, but you know I’m always putting in the time and thought.It’s been an interesting Meek year in 2016. I didn’t get as many new pages done, but did SO much work on the book it’s crazy to think about it. I feel like staring at those early pages for months has really inspired me to buckle down on this chapter’s art… idk if you can tell but I’m spending more time with the weights and colors, because despite how long everything takes, I think you guys can tell, and for me that’s worth it.Anyways, I hope you holiday folks have a great holiday~ <a href="http://www.marecomic.com">Mare</a> will be updating quite a bit, but if I don’t get an update here up next week then I will see you early next year!

What do I say? it’s adventure? there’s monsters? politics? idk. Now suddenly resistance against authoritarians is all the rage and I totally regret ever wishing my content had a more relatable selling point.Today’s bonus file has an <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/7956188">animated process gif</a> in addition to the behind-the-scenes talk. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/shingworks">Patrons</a> of that tier can access that now~ I also opened up an older <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/tm-stuff-these-7947392">side comic</a> up to the $2 Patrons, and another one is on the way for $5 guys. And the tutorial which I’ve been majorly procrastinating on despite having it fully written, haha [scream] We also have <a href="https://twitter.com/Shnikkles/status/825952731743547392">a great fanart of your favorite despot</a> today by <a href="https://twitter.com/Shnikkles">Shnikkles</a>, who is generally a cool person who knows her way around some colors.And last, for anyone who has lingering questions about certain things in the comic, like… what does such-n-such jargon mean? Who is this guy again? Where are we? Is my life a simulation? you can check out <a href="http://wiki.shingworks.com/Main_Page">the Meekipedia</a> for the answers to those questions (except the last one). Here’s the link to all the stuff in <a href="http://wiki.shingworks.com/Category:Chapter_5">Chapter 5</a> to make it extra easy on you (note: the wiki doesn’t contain any plot spoilers, but may list people/ places/ things that show up in future chapters).I probably have something else to say but forgot it, so you’re off the hook.</section> Mon, 29 May 2017 08:00:18 +0000 The Meek | An epic adventure webcomic - 5.28 - February 2, 2017 http://www.meekcomic.com/comic/5-28/ <img alt="5.28" src="http://www.meekcomic.com/comics/TM_web_528C.jpg" title="5.28" /><section class="entry-content-comic">Uh oh he went thereOoh, a kind commenter just linked this <a href="http://harveydont.tumblr.com/post/141649896747/ryanapplegos-and-i-wonder-a-lot-about-whats-in">fanart of Rana</a> with some suspiciously warm hands, created by <a href="http://harveydont.tumblr.com">Harveydont</a>. I love it! By the way, if you’d like a Meek fanart linked here, don’t be shy to post to the comments and I’ll make sure to share it :] One thing I have found interesting, and which is possibly my fault, is that readers tend to be sort of critical of my female characters. I didn’t say anything in MI since I suspected it was because of a lack of deep backstory for the character (compared to other characters), but I think we know Rana well enough? I’m surprised that many people are angrier at her for supporting this idea of violent, vengeful action than they are at Luca for actually carrying it out. Maybe it’s because we know more about Luca and can internally justify it? because Suda is more likeable by comparison? or is it her unruly eyebrows, haha? Anyways, just a neutral observation for now, I’m looking forward to seeing if anyone changes their mind about it as the chapter progresses.Anyways! The <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/7979885">comparison and notes page</a> is up here, a general update post will go up for <a href="https://www.patreon.com/shingworks">Patrons/ non-Patrons</a> tomorrow, and thanks again for reading and commenting, I am really enjoying your discussions :] </section> Mon, 29 May 2017 08:00:19 +0000
