MERCS

Heya! Heya! Its ya homeboy again!

So if you may or may not have noticed on @officialmercs but we've finally got more pages out for operation chrome!! Albeit i shadowdropped it with no rollout, whys that? Because at the same time i was getting it ready for friday at NYCC!! Ill tell ya this much, the people ive met and showed it off too really liked it! I even got to show it to Ashley Nichols of hunicast and TADC fame! There were other cool people ive given it too aswell but id like to keep that under wraps for now... ;)

OKAY ENOUGH RAMBLING, WHATS THE STATUS ON MERCS?

good news is this! Were halfway through the issue! And were full throttle with completing it!

Somewhat mehhh news? Im utterly exhausted and resting up right now but im not gonna pull that year long hiatus nonsense and keep ya in the dark like i did last year, no more of that.

In other news i also have a new site to put mercs on, although its looks barebones at the moment, i have full intention of prettying it up!

You can check it out here!!

Ill still upload it to tumblr and newgrounds though!

Alright i think thats all i gotta say! Im gonna rest up and after that its time to make some mayhem >:D

WUSSUP GANG!!

i know it's been a solid while since the last time ive uploaded any mercs stuff inna while but im happy to announce that im fully back into the swing of things and we're gonna get some pages out for it!!

To be 110% with you all, im legit sorry for not being consistent and keeping u guys posted about mercs, its been a rough as hell ride but to keep things short, the fact i was just one guy working on this kept depressing the fuck outta me, i did have someone sometime around 2024 but then we had that falling out yadda yadda yadda you know that bit ive said it millions of times already. HOWEVER, i've recently recruited my buddy @toast-tank to do the background work while i do the other shit outside of that and we're goin full steam ahead bay-bee HELL YEAHHHHH!!!

Main goal is to get as much done as we can in time for NYCC '25 so i can give em out and get some hype goin, not that it will be NYCC exclusive or anything but maybe ill slap an exclusive cover or something like that.

Heya! Figured I’d drop in a lil update for @officialmercs and how everything is rolling.

Okay so it’s been about a solid 2 weeks since I dropped the first 8 pages for [OPERATION:CHROME] and I have been hard at work to get 8 more pages done, even if it’s taking a tad longer than I thought , I am just one guy doing literally everything after all, sketches, Lineart, backgrounds, dialogue, the whole shabang and 9 yards.

But here’s some good news, the iPad that I use to make this got it’s screen fixed so I don’t have to constantly worry about cracking it more by putting too much pressure on it with my stylus,

Bad news is that literally the hour after I got back from the repair shop I found out that apple added anti-repair measures on 3rd gen iPads and above where if it detects aftermarket parts (aka anything to repair your apple products with) it would secretly gaslight you into buying a newer model by making you think the repair guy fucked with it somehow. In my case it’s the fact that everytime I use my pencil stylus to draw anything but straight horizontal and vertical lines, the lines get wavy, at first I thought I got scammed by the repair shop but by some fucking miracle I found out that I’m not the only one with this problem https://www.forbes.com/sites/jaymcgregor/2023/07/27/apple-punishing-ipad-pro-buyers-with-new-pencil-software-lockdown/

SO WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE ME?

well it leaves me in quite the pickle, but it ain’t over yet my friends for I have meddled with the stabilization on procreate as a temporary fix until I figure out what to do, I’m not gonna let those poindexters win with their blue shirts and their overpriced coffee and their liquid garbage they call IPA’s. Even then if worse comes to worse I’ll just grab one secondhand off of OfferUp or something like that.

Tangent aside, progress on the comic will be a bit slower than usual but don’t worry bout it, it’ll all be good in the hood.

Stay frosty fellas, and I’ll see ya on the flipside ;)
