TMK continues to update on Patreon. We've just reached page 9. Having a big party over here. So much fun...

Chapter 24 has started updating...on Patreon. Yes, I'm afraid for now it's behind a paywall as my part-time job schedules are erratic and I can't guarantee update consistency on the website. Also, I could use all the extra money I can get right now lol. I've been out of full-time work for almost 2.5 years now. It sucks!

The chapter will be posted to the site eventually, but for now it will be on Patreon. There are currently four tiers, from $1 a month to $10 a month. $4 a month will get you all the pages as soon as they're done.

If you check the latest update on the website, someone in the comments was generous enough to gift a few subscriptions! Check it out!

I know everyone is dealing with stuff right now, so I appreciate any support. I'm extremely grateful for my readers and their patience.

I added my bonus comic PDFs to my ko-fi in case anyone wants to check them out! They've been referenced a bit in some of the latest chapters...

Thank you all for reading, and for your support. <333

Will your TMK webcomic be back soon?

Good question, actually! I post the occasional update on Blueseky but forget about Tumblr unless I have art to post.

While there's no definitive restart date for TMK, progress is happening! The next chapter is written, so thumbnails and actual pages are not far behind. I'll definitely post something here when the comic is ready to go again.

Gotta love an s-curve.

Aw, thank you so much! I wish I had been in a better headspace to do something fun for 15 years, but maybe I'll manage something for its sweet 16, haha.

Two months ago an old coworker ordered a sketch version of TMK Volume One for their kid, who requested Ratatoskr for the sketch. I'd never thought of what Ratatoskr might look like in TMK because there's no plans for him to show up, but I had fun figuring him out.

To make up for the long wait, and to thank someone I know personally for their support, I decided to add a little watercolor drawing to the package. I need to practice more with the medium, but there's something so nice about the brightness watercolors bring.

My library is doing a contest where you create art relating to a book and doing any non-comic thing feels like such a rare occurrence for me that I wanted to try something. This is really more of a mock cover than an illustration but The Power of the Dog is one of my favorite books and I always wanted to do something for it.

The colors might seem random but they're actually inspired by the original cover art:

I generally can't tell the difference between the hummingbirds that visit my feeder, but there is One bird with a notch in her beak that tells me she is a bad bitch you don't want to cross.

Run, run, run as fast as you can.

Oh, goodbye.
