I've moved my fan art to the "Piper's Extra Things" page above.

Plus for those interested inside the 'ABOUT' page, I've posted a thumbnail sketch I've done for a future page. I was inspired by Seabiscuit to show my process. It was done on Letter sized paper with a 2H pencil. It's what I use before I go up to 11x14.

A bit confused but still interested. I'm pretty sure all the pieces will fall together.

Skweeee 5th Sep 2014, 5:56 PM edit delete reply

I have some pages coming with lots of talking heads and exposition. So hopefully there will be some clarification.
Please hang in there.

Piper does have quite the imagination... or is this real? I guess we will see.

Skweeee 5th Sep 2014, 6:00 PM edit delete reply

Well, I can reveal that Piper is not the one generating these visions.

Delvarian 5th Sep 2014, 3:07 PM edit delete reply

How do you manage to get such amazing pages done so quickly? *Jealous stare*

Skweeee 5th Sep 2014, 6:03 PM edit delete reply

Instead of drawing and finishing a page at a time. I actually draw up to 6 pages at a time. I have found it is actually easier for me to organize what little time I have to draw and cuts down on the many continuity errors that I make.

cattservant 5th Sep 2014, 3:11 PM edit delete reply

Her brother?

Skweeee 5th Sep 2014, 6:04 PM edit delete reply

Yes. That is Krokuss.

lirvilas 5th Sep 2014, 3:19 PM edit delete reply

An old WWII anti-submarine base? NATO sonar listening post? CIA black site? Nice.

This strip is the bomb.

Skweeee 5th Sep 2014, 6:08 PM edit delete reply

It's a secret base for a secret organization. Hail Hydra!

Seabiscuit 5th Sep 2014, 3:31 PM edit delete reply

Ohh, this does seem foreboding.;D
Can't wait!

(Mwahaha! Yesss, progress sketccchess!)

Skweeee 5th Sep 2014, 6:32 PM edit delete reply

Glad you're looking forward to more.

Stever 5th Sep 2014, 3:39 PM edit delete reply

Whoa, another great page so quickly! Love the look of that baddie.

Skweeee 5th Sep 2014, 6:33 PM edit delete reply

Yes.. I was trying to pour on the menacing with this character.

Matt Knab 5th Sep 2014, 4:59 PM edit delete reply

Can't tell if this is sci fi or fantasy. Or both. Or neither. Whatever it is, it's delicious!

Skweeee 5th Sep 2014, 6:35 PM edit delete reply

Since I love both Sci Fi and fantasy, I thought it would be okay if I mashed them together.

moizmad 5th Sep 2014, 6:11 PM edit delete reply

Yeah, I think Skweeee & BiffBoff grind these out of a sausage machine!

Skweeee 5th Sep 2014, 6:38 PM edit delete reply

Ouch!

You're right Mo. In my mind I'm a Steven Speilberg of artistic creativity in comics,
But in reality I'm more like the Ed Wood of comics creating.

Ah! Perfect!

Lt. Dom 5th Sep 2014, 8:50 PM edit delete reply

so many questions. That was no dream that's for sure.

Skweeee 5th Sep 2014, 11:02 PM edit delete reply

I have some pages coming with lots of exposition. Hopefully, that should quell most of the confusion now dominating the story. Please hang in there.

Lt. Dom 8th Sep 2014, 12:43 AM edit delete reply

confusion is good!

Fig 5th Sep 2014, 9:50 PM edit delete reply

fucking awesome as always. if i may, on the second row, i would just leave out the textbox and 'crunch' sound effects. your artwork can really speak for itself there, as the moment lends it enough drama to work without those minor elements. imo, they kinda detract from the epicness of the moment. but i mean... damn. xD

Skweeee 5th Sep 2014, 11:07 PM edit delete reply

Awesome advice Fig!! Thank you! Being a self taught hobbyist I find this kind of advice incredibly useful. You're right about the fact that if a picture is rendered just right the reader will unconsciously place the sound anyway.

Next week I plan to go back and edit my whole story for grammar and spelling, etc. This will be definitely one of the things I intend to edit.

kara 6th Sep 2014, 12:20 AM edit delete reply

Lol Bebber is the only one with fan art. xD I might have to change that. ;)

And you like a lot of the stuff I like too. Which was probably already obvious from our comics. :)

Skweeee 6th Sep 2014, 6:13 AM edit delete reply

Thank you Kara! I guess you already know that when you're trying to build things like; revenge, romance, and redemption, in your story they require many dedicated pages and panels to set them up properly.

kara 6th Sep 2014, 6:24 AM edit delete reply

I think you're setting it up well, Skweeee. :) For mine, some are set up and some I've tossed at the reader in the back story, hope it still comes off well overall.

Skweeee 6th Sep 2014, 7:12 PM edit delete reply

Thank you very much Kara! Some days I really need to read such a generous compliment. Today being one of those days. Also nice to know you 'get' what I'm trying to build here. :D

jolle 6th Sep 2014, 4:51 AM edit delete reply

Next page, some Bond-villain petting a white cat.

Skweeee 6th Sep 2014, 6:14 AM edit delete reply

Hmmmm. I think I should close my blinds when I'm drawing. You are obviously peeking at my upcoming page through my window.

sephirencomics 7th Sep 2014, 3:40 PM edit delete reply

Wow, fantastic page! And whao, who was that? Each page gets more and more interesting.

Skweeee 7th Sep 2014, 7:13 PM edit delete reply

Thank you Sephirencomics!

There's a pretty good chance that that was Piper's brother; Krokuss.

dougwarner59 7th Sep 2014, 5:38 PM edit delete reply

never a dull moment in this comic. always keeps me wondering what's going to happen next.

Skweeee 7th Sep 2014, 7:16 PM edit delete reply

Ah thank you!!. I'm glad to be cultivating a sense of wonder.

Outlaw 7th Sep 2014, 8:22 PM edit delete reply

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!
I can't take all this suspense...! The build up is too great!

Seriously though, excellently done!

Skweeee 7th Sep 2014, 9:31 PM edit delete reply

Thanks Outlaw! It's a relief to get feedback saying that there is actually suspense.

K. Tipping 8th Sep 2014, 11:32 AM edit delete reply

I'm exited to see where this is going. Good work. :)

Skweeee 8th Sep 2014, 12:42 PM edit delete reply

Thanks so much K! Well, I'm excited too, to take this story where I know that it's going.

Twistedfro 10th Sep 2014, 8:18 PM edit delete reply

Holy crap...that big dude scared the bejeez out of me...awesome page. It left a real impact :-)

Skweeee 14th Sep 2014, 11:53 AM edit delete reply

Thank you Twistedfro!

IllustratorMan 14th Sep 2014, 10:49 AM edit delete reply

I love that menacing figure!!!

Skweeee 14th Sep 2014, 12:47 PM edit delete reply

Thank you, I was going for menacing.

Skyangel 21st Sep 2014, 11:34 AM edit delete reply

I love those top four panels especially here, there's a real atmosphere of something evil in the air!

Skweeee 21st Sep 2014, 3:34 PM edit delete reply

Ah! Yes, I was definitely going for scary on this page.

Proxy170 27th Sep 2014, 7:12 PM edit delete reply

Good thing she didn't see it, that would have scared the heck outta me.

Skweeee 27th Sep 2014, 7:32 PM edit delete reply

She probably wouldn't have believed her eyes anyways, I think. Unfortunately, for Piper, their meeting is inevitable.

Sleeper 16th Nov 2014, 9:28 PM edit delete reply

Giants never think to knock.

Skweeee 16th Nov 2014, 9:35 PM edit delete reply

I love anything with a giant in it. Since I was a kid, anything with a giant in it, I liked.

Sleeper 16th Nov 2014, 10:18 PM edit delete reply

I can't say I've really liked anything with giants until now. Nothing comes to mind at least.
