Introducing the UTC Release Calendar

on June 23, 2022 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Site News

Now that we’ve got the UTC train rolling again, I found a way to help me keep it running on schedule. And this method also gives you an easy way to see when my “vacation weeks” are.*

This calendar doc lists the tentative UTC release schedule for the rest of the year, including Patreon rewards. The most important days are the ones highlighted in blue (the ones mostly on Fridays). A new UTC page will be posted on those days. The other highlighted days indicate when certain reward content is going to be made available to Patreon backers.

The linked document will be updated continuously through 2022 whenever changes are announced. (The picture attached to this post will not be. It’s just a snapshot.)

*Last year I introduced the idea of taking one Friday off in every month that has 5 Fridays, which is a structured way to force myself to get some rest. There are 4 such Fridays per year and the next one is July 29.

Chapter 15 Coming April 29

on April 22, 2022 at 4:00 am
Posted In: Site News

UTC is resuming regular updates on Friday, April 29, with the cover to Chapter 15. New pages will post weekly starting on the Friday after that.

The reason it’s taken so long to make this announcement is because I wanted to be absolutely certain whatever return date I put out would be the true, unwavering deadline. Almost immediately after 2022 started, my day job began kicking my butt and it hasn’t let up since.

There were also some personal obligations that I wanted to prioritize. Thank you for your patience. See you very soon!

Flux Visage Premiere Issue Now Available

on November 3, 2021 at 1:00 pm
Posted In: Site News

Hi folks,

I’m pleased to announce that the first issue of my new transformation-themed anthology, Flux Visage, is out now!

Longtime readers may remember “Let Your Hair Down,” a stand-alone comic I put up on this site in 2015 to ride out the hiatus between UTC Phases Two and Three. That was the pilot project for this anthology.

The full 16-page “Let Your Hair Down” comic is now packaged as the main story in Flux Visage #1, in higher resolution than you’ve seen before, and it comes with a few other goodies as well!

The issue is available as a pay-what-you-want download on itch.io. Future issues of Flux Visage will be coming eventually, and those will have brand new comics made exclusively for the series.

You can download it here, or view the listing on itch.io for more details.

New Fanart of Cass!

RedKnight33, a longtime fan, proposed an art trade, where we’d both draw each others’ characters. Here’s his cool drawing of Cass. Click here to see my drawing of Red’s toon character, Silly Road.

This pic has been added to the Fanart section. Thank you, Red!

Chapter 12 Creator Commentary

on May 31, 2021 at 1:59 pm
Posted In: Site News

In lieu of a new comic this week, I’ve uploaded a new commentary video to YouTube. This one is for the previous chapter, “The Mother Trilogy.”

I say at the start of the video that this won’t contain any spoilers for future chapters, but at one point, I accidentally mention the premise for Chapter 13. It’s not a major spoiler, but if you really don’t want to have any idea what Chapter 13 is about (if you somehow don’t know already), you should make sure to read at least the first few pages of that before watching this.
