Hello there fellow chio! As you can clearly see, I am a chio just like you and certainly not a human in a chio suit. So, how about we talk about normal chio things?
Ask a Chio will be reopening soon for Chio Club members on a limited time basis! Pledge at the $5 or above level by February 5, 2022 and you’ll get to ask your very own Chio question! Find out more in this post on Follower’s blog.
A little bit more of the progression of my current Caves of Qud character. Growing wings and a tail has certainly been an improvement, but a lot has happened since this part. I’m just drawing from notes I’ve been taking while playing. 😀
I don’t usually do these because I either miss the fact that the hashtag is going on, or I start having doubts about posting pictures of my own face online, but then I decided that it was acceptable to use a self portrait I did recently, so I did that instead.
2021 was a terrible year for existing, but somehow it turned out to be a decent year for art. I made a lot more stuff than I expected to, and a significant portion of it was comics. I learned some new techniques and improved on others, and that’s about all you can ask for as an artist.
To help me keep making more new art in 2022, or to get some custom art of your own, join the Chio Club! I’m also available for one-off commissioned art, and you can find out more about that on my Ko-Fi page.
I started playing Caves of Qud and now that I’ve gotten the hang of it kinda, here’s my current character, Kirashur. They’re a humanoid mutant scholar with the ability to manipulate light and ice hands! Oh, and horns. Which got cracked in a fight with a croc. I imagine this will only get more fun as the mutations pile on, so I’ll do an update if I survive that long, haha.
It’s That One Week of the year again and we’ve decided to do some capitalism and make our boy Tom Nook proud. That means basically all of our merch is discounted pretty deeply through this week!
All of our digital comics are on sale 11/22-11/30 on itch.io, ko-fi and Gumroad! Get your hands on something new with instant delivery!
We’re extra thankful for all our readers this year, so thank you yet again for reading this super long post! When you buy comics or merch from our shops, you directly support our ability to keep producing Follower and our other stories. From our family to yours, we hope you have an excellent Thanksgiving if you’re in the states, and just an excellent Thursday if you’re everywhere else! 💖
New chapter 3 pages? Didn’t chapter 3 happen years ago? Well, technically, yeah, but last year I breezed through the chapter and made some improvements to the artwork for both print and PDF books! A lot of the work was color adjustments, but the pages have also been re-lettered and generally given better consistency.
Right now, Chio Club members are getting new batches of these pages every Friday! They’ll eventually make their way to the regular site sometime in 2022, but they’re a major example of the kinds of work we’d like to accomplish on fixing up the website and pages via our latest Chio Club goal! If we can get to $100/month in Chio Club memberships, I can start doing this work for ALL of the Follower archive. We’re a third of the way there already!
As an example of what’s changed, take a look at this before and after:
To get more pages like this, and to help us reach our goal, become a member of the Chio Club!
