Happy Monday to you all! There's quite a lot I wanted to cover by way of a news post, spread across three topics, so come on and delve in...
CAPTAIN OBNOXIOUS:
Thanks to everyone who's read Part 1 of Captain Obnoxious so far! Shortly after uploading, I realised that I had (through some cropping error) left out two entire rows of panels. Thankfully they weren't the most important panels in the entire comic, but they've now been reinstated (around the midway point of the comic, if you can spot 'em!)
In other CO-related news, this week's Patreon post is comprised of a wealth of Captain Obnoxious concept art, dating back to 2018! If you're a Patron, check it out, if not, then pledge a quid to gain access!
Finally, this poster, and there's more to read below it...
TAPAS:
I've started releasing Dave & Carl on Tapas, and only now have I made that fact public. One of the main draws of Tapas is that (in theory) any comics released there can be monetised! The catch is, at least 25 followers (subscribers) are needed to enable that. I doubt if anyone reading this post has a Tapas account, but if you do, then 25 of you subscribing would be a boon! Failing that, it's always helpful to spread the word...
(And don't worry, Dave & Carl will always have a home here on NG)
And speaking of monetisation...
COMMISSIONS?
I'm treading the waters with this one.
Commissions. Virtually everyone's been doing 'em, and I think I'm ready to hop aboard the vehicle myself. A few days ago I drafted this commission sheet (just below). It's pretty basic and I haven't yet gone about setting rules or prices, but it (hopefully) gives off the general idea of what I plan to go for.
Things like caricatures (or caricachaz?) should be a no-brainer. As for more complex pieces, I don't know if my cartoony-art style would be a downside/limitation or not. If there's demand for such pieces, then let me know! As mentioned earlier, I have yet to set prices. I'm open to suggestions on that front (i.e. what is my art worth, if anything?)
With any luck/demand, I could very well have commissions open within the next couple of weeks. Keep in mind, however, that production of Dave & Carl remains a priority, particularly since early April is when I plan to work on Captain Obnoxious Part 2!
As always, I'm open to any ideas/suggestions that any of you may have in regards to commissions.
I think that's everything for now...

Congratulations on releasing it on Tapas; I'll see if any of my friends on there are reading comics on there and might be able to spread the word!
Also, that poster of Captain Obnoxious looks amazing. That camera angle is just BRILLIANT.

Gotta love some diagonal angles. Cheers!
