Progress is moving along quite steadily. Not quite as fast as the beginning, but 1 page every other day is pretty good! Enjoy the preview.

And Happy Halloween!

Page 27 complete!

Well, updates may be a little sporadic than they were 2 weeks ago, but I think they will also be much more frequent than they recently have been. The crushing deadlines and workloads of the last 2 weeks are starting to ease, giving me more time to work on grOw/cOmic#2, issue 2. As you can see, I was able to get another page done in 2 days, as compared to the 7 days or so for the last page. Hopefully, this will continue, or even get better.

The last 2 pages have been done in the newest version of Adobe's Creative Suite, CS4. I really like the improvements they have made, and I am enjoying using the new programs. Some of the new features are also helping me speed up the process a bit. That, and I am also getting a lot of practice with drawings and coloring with the two main characters. Well, enjoy the preview!

Page 26 complete... whew!

Yeah, it's been a bad 2 weeks. "RL" work has been kicking my ass, more so than any time in the last 6 months. I guess with the economy as it is, that's a good thing. But, as you may have noticed, it put a real damper on the output of issue #2. The good news is that there is light at the end of the tunnel, as the multiple, simultaneous projects that I have been slaving over for the past 2 weeks is coming to an end.

This page took almost 7 days to complete due to my schedule (see above). However, it is finally done, and you can view a larger preview by clicking on the picture to the right. Enjoy!

page 25 complete — finally!

Well, the end of last week was filled with nothing but a whole lot of suck, ending in a Friday that left me working 8:30am to 9:15 PM ! Needless to say, I wasn't able to finish a whole lot of work on the next issue of grOw/cOmic#3. In fact, I just finished page 25 this morning, taking 3+ days. I hope this week doesn't continue in this fashion, but it may not be as prolific as the begining of last week or the previous. In the meantime, enjoy the preview!

Good news, however, is that my Adobe Creative Suite CS4 arrived Friday, and I installed it over the weekend. I've mostly played around in Photoshop this weekend, finishing up the shading on the last page. So far... I like it!

The halfway mark, Page 24, completed!

8 of the 16 pages if issue #2 are now finished, with the completion of page 24. With 8 pages and the cover of issue #3 to go, if things keep up as they have been, my initial release date of Nov 5-7 is well within reach right now. Let's keep fingers crossed that this is the case. In the meantime, enjoy the preview!

Page 23 completed! 9 more to go.

I tried to finish yesterday, but the last 2 days have been quite hectic with last-minute projects. I was, however, to complete the page this morning. All-in-all, things are moving along quite swiftly. Enjoy the preview! 9 more pages, plus the cover of issue 3, to go!

Page 22 completed!

Another day, another page! I made some good progress today, considering the detail on this page. I was able to finish, keeping my nearly 1-page-a-day pace intact. With pages 17-22 of issue 2 complete, there are 10 more pages and the cover to issue 3 to go before release. I am still targeting to make this the fastest "next issue" release so far. Keeping my fingers crossed! Enjoy the preview!

Page 21 complete!

Chip, chip, chip.. another page is done! I've been making pretty good progress so far, considering my workload. Hopefully, this will continue, and I can make the fastest time for "next release" ever. Enjoy the preview!

grOw/cOmic#3, page 20 complete!

The fourth page of the second issue, page 20 of the series, has been completed. This one took a little longer, as it had quite a few of Photoshop effects on a number of panels (not apparent here in the preview). Now it's on to page 21... 12 more to go!

grOw/cOmic#3, pages 17-19 (issue 2) complete!

If you go back in time in my blog, you will see that I mention that I tried to get most of the pencil drawing planned and completed for the entire series of grOw/cOmic#3. I was nearly successful, finishing up to the first few pages of issue 4. This means, the time between issues should be much less than grOw/cOmic#2. For that series, it was 79 days between issues 3 and 4, and 90 days between issues 4 and 5. (There was a longer 112 day span between issues 2 and 3, but that's because I released a 3 grOw/stOries in-between as well). Now, I MAY release a stOry in between issues of this cOmic series, but I am hoping for a more streamlined release schedule for "An Inconvenient Growth" (barring any unforseen "happenings" that I know all too well can happen).

So, to continue on with the progress reports on grOw/cOmic#3, "An Inconvenient Growth", here are previews to the first 3 pages of issue 2 !! Best case scenario is a release by Nov 5. Worse case would be Dec. 30. Enjoy the previews!

grOw/cOmic#3, "An Inconvenient Growth" Released!

It has arrived! The newest grOw/cOmic series has begun! Issue 1 in the new 4-part series is now available at www.bustartist.com .



anincovenientgrowth: Issue 1: "We're sorry for any inconvenience..."
Julie was on her way home from just acquiring a very secretive, and elusive breast growth formula from Chinatown. Her goal was to increase her modest bustline to a respectable D-cup, so that she had a chance at attracting a nice guy at the gym - maybe even the “guy-from-the-ninth-floor” that she always had a crush on. With a triumphant swig, Julie drinks the formula.

However, Julie's plan is thrown into chaos, as she is forced to run home to clean herself off from a terrifying accident. Once home, she runs into her secret crush in the elevator. On top of all the other inconveniences that have plagued her Friday, her breasts start growing much faster, and much larger, than they were supposed to due to the Chinese formula. And she has no idea why!

Category: Breast Expansion (chemical/unknown: big); clothes stretching/buttons popping

This is the first issue in a 4-part series that will be a deep exploration of "BE". Growth will be steady across all 4 issues, and will involve all sorts of "BE sub-genres": growth, tight clothing, buttons bursting, bra breaking, heightened sensitivity, desire and fear of growth, growth while asleep and awake, tight spaces due to growth, "voyeristic-like" scenes during growth. And with a 4-issue span, the growth will take us through many stages of breast size — something for everyone. There will also be a number of plot twists to move the story along: plans gone wrong, mysterious reasons for growth, infatuation and lust, jealousy and desire, friendship and love, tension and release, and even fear and a touch of danger. The story focuses intimately on 2 main characters who you will get to know, experiencing their feelings, desires, and interactions both during BE and non-BE scenes.
