Welp, looks like Vera and Brody may be out of a job tomorrow if things go the way they seem to be. Bummer. This page was the first I started flatting in Clip Studio Paint, and I think it’s saved a considerable amount of time for me, so yay!

For patrons, we got another fully inked page for +$5 buddies, and ongoing previews for everyone!

I am honestly still so exhausted from NYCC, my poor sad body is not built for moving apparently. Happy to have met all the people I did, though! Anyway, we’ll be back with the Venetroni gang next week. See you then!

And we’re back to the story! Hey, there’s the photo too! Whaddya know. The travel poster in the background is actually an old one I did for the comic back around the time I started, so it’s nice to find a place to put it in the comic proper.

For patrons, +$5 folks get another inked page early while everyone gets the exclusive peeks into upcoming pages. I’m looking into finding ways to record making pages so maybe I can start adding videos. I’ll let y’all know when anything comes of that. As always, you all make my week with reading and supporting the comic, and I couldn’t do it without you. <3

This Friday we’ll be at NYCC, just as con-goers, though. I’m still easy to spot if you’d like to say hi, though, I’ll be the lady with glasses and very purple hair. Haven’t been to the con in…I wanna say 9 years, so this is gonna be an experience.

Next week we continue with why Ms. Vesey is looking so sad. See you then!

I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting to get to this part in the story where characters meet, talk, hurl insults at each other. It’s very exciting. Jase totally would have gone for the hug if Vera’d been interested. Something tells me she’s not much of a hugger, though.

We are really closing in on the end of the chapter now! Only a few more pages to go. See you next week.

And we’re back! Sorry for the delay, and happy new year, everyone! I hope this year will be better, though I know for many reasons it will be a rough one. Here’s to making it as good as we can, alright?

This page took waaay too long to make, a combination of difficulty and life just kicking my ass. That said, I think it turned out pretty good. Characters are finally coming together, meeting, throwing water on jerks, it’s great. I’ve been waiting for this part for years.

We should be on schedule now, so come back next week for another page. Until then!

Vesey’s actually a pretty good boss, as far as bootleggers go.

It’s the holiday season, so here’s my obligatory “please buy my art for gifts” reminder. There’s a bunch of new stuff, like new cards, new prints, Volume 1 of AE, and original art! It’s all at my Etsy Store. Go check that out now!

Also, if you’re enjoying the comic, please consider becoming a patron over at my Patreon. For as little as $1, you can support AE and see previews of pages before they go live!

That’s all my self-promotion for now. Next week we finally get to check back in with our main characters, see you then!

Back with the bootleggers, and their boss. Ms. Vesey gives me an opportunity to create some really pretty outfits.

See you next week.
