Writing

I’ve been largely writing my comics on the fly for the last couple years, but all the comics I’m doing are giving me issues keeping it all straight in my head. So, back to my thumbnail book!
Now, I don’t write like normal people do, I draw out the panels and jot down text and dialog. I’ve always said I only write because I need something to draw.
I have a renewed fire to do more comics, so if I fall behind on any one story, don’t worry, it’s because I am doing another one.
Always keep up to date on the newest pages by following my comic feed to the right. Or follow the piffle comic feed at @PiffleU on Twitter.

Process post

Here is a gallery of the steps I take to create a new page. All done on my phone. I use a Galaxy Note 10, with S Pen, in Medibang Paint . It’s a pretty awesome rig. I also have a Galaxy Tab 10A, to use for inking, when I’m home to do so. The larger screen helps with the pain in my thumb, from the accident.

Update

So, my recovery is coming along. My hands are starting to heal, and the pain is manageable much of the time.

That said, I have three projects I am working on, right now. Phineus, Maynard and Grimm and Magician for Hire, so there’s not a lot of time for Teen Wizard, right now. That said, I do intend to get back to our story, do some exclusive stories for Patrons and move onward with it. In time. Thanks for all your patience and do check out all the other Phineus Universe comics I am working on!

The State of Phineus

Now that I Palindrome I has completed, Phineus will change a bit. The main, free weekly comic will be our sister comic, Magician for Hire, which follows the exploits of Phin and Sara’s daughters Cole and Ro in 2036.

Phineus will continue, as bonus exclusive comics for Patrons, weekly. These stories will eventually be printed as backup stories in the rerelease of all the Complete Phineus trade Paperbacks that will be done over the following year.

This site will also be used as the main blog for all things Phineus related.

Becoming a patron, and getting access to these stories and the nearly 130 pages and counting, is as easy as a dollar a month!

Thanks in advance,
