GC#4, page 74 complete!

Page 74, which I couldn't quite finish before the weekend, was completed today. I am making a great start to the new issue. However, "RL" work in looming on the horizon that may slow this progress. Only time will tell. I had hoped to have another page done today, but this new work did not allow this to happen. We'll see about tomorrow. In the meanwhile, enjoy the preview!

(EDIT: the preview was incomplete when originally uploaded. It has now been fixed.)

GC#4, page 73 complete!

The first page of 20 for the 5th issue of grOw/cOmic#4, "grOwing Desires" has been completed. I also made very good progress on the second page, but I wasn't quite able to finish it up today, and, unfortunately, tonight is not a night that I can work a little later on it. With a little thoughful cropping, I hope to have made this preview a little more enticing than cryptic. Enjoy!

GC#4, pencils completed!

With a final stroke, the last panel of issue 5 has been completed, in terms of the underlying pencil drawings!

As I was working on this last set of 6 pages since my last blog update, I came across a sequence that I had planned over the course of 2 pages. Upon reviewing them before putting pencil to paper, I decided the layout was just too "tight" to do it justice. Rather than remove panels, I decided to — you guessed it — add yet another page to this upcoming issue. In addition to the 2 extra pages that are already appearing in each issue of this series already, Chapter 5 will now have an additional 2 extra pages for a total of 20 pages. This is partially what took the extra time this week, as I had to re-plan out 3 new pages (whittled down from a total of 8 possibilities). Then, of course, there was drawing the newest additional page.

Also, I was able to find the time to scan in these 20 pages and get them ready for production. Each page is drawn at a 11"x15" size, so it takes 2 scans that must be pieced together for each page. During this time, I also make edits to the drawings — for example, if I feel that certain proportions didn't come out quite right, but the actual line drawing is good. Instead of redrawing it, I will split it up in Photoshop and reconstruct it digitally. Saves a lot of time, and frustration. During this phase, I also make sure the "zoom" of each panel (close-up or wide shot) is enough, and, if need be, digitally zoom in if I feel the subject of the image should have a better focus.

Ink and paint are now in my sights, as we begin the countdown to the release of "All's laid bare in Love and War."

GC#4, issue 5, pencils progressing

13 out of the 19 pages for issue 5 are now done, with the completion of 8 more pages since my last blog update. I am happy that the pages are coming out quite well. A few delays have slowed me, but I hope to complete the last 6 pages before then end of this week (I was hoping for early to mid-week). After that, the "inking and painting" will begin, and the page-by-page updates with previews will commence for this newest issue.

grOw/cOmic#4, issue 5: pencils begin

Over the last 2 weeks, I have been reworking some of the script for issue 5, which is titled "All's laid bare in Love and War". When that was completed, I sketched out, in small thumbnail form, the layout of the entire issue. Some good news on this, is that I am adding an additional page to this issue's already extra 2 pages for a total of 19 pages. Currently, I am working on the full size pencil drawings. Making some good progress today, I finished up the first 5 pages of pencil drawings for the next issue. I hope to make more good progress on these over the new few days, as things are (dare I say) not too hectic on the you-know-what front. ;D

grOw/cOmic#4, issue 4 Released!

grOwing Desires
Chapter 4: "Your wish is by my command"
18 color pages, 2 cover versions, and 7 image-only pages in the Appendix.

Jon had lost it. MaryBeth's gynormous breast were geysering milk, and he seemed completely in control of her growth! But their exploration into her hugeness was interrupted by Claudine.

Claudine, herself, liked to be in control; and she wasn't going to let Jon run the show anymore. What Claudine wanted, Claudine would get, even if she had to increase her strength to make it so. Both Jon and MaryBeth found themselves at the control of another's whim, one whose growing muscles, height, and breasts, were a confirmation of who just was in charge.

But... that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Includes 7 bonus pages in the Appendix that are text-less, images-only reproductions of the best 7 pages.

Category: Breast Expansion (chemical: big, huge, wow); FMG; mini-GTS; lactation; PE; sex (MF, FF, hard).

GC#4, issue 4: Last page completed!

Just in time for the weekend, I can say that page 72, the last page of the issue, has been completed! All I have to do now is create the cover to issue 5 (which will appear at the end of issue 4 as a teaser), proofread and finalized the PDF, set up the store and we have the release of grOwing Desires: Chapter 4 "Your wish is by my command." The next post here at the blog will be for the announcement of the release. For issue 4, I have added more to the Appendixes. The "Bonus Art Gallery" will have 6 text-less pages! I will also have an Appendix B, which will show how the next-to-last page (71) changed for the better. Enjoy the last preview of this issue! It's been a while since the last release (nearly 4 months), but we are... all... most... there!
