Thanks to all our new members!

Hey, special thanks to everyone who has joined up with us this month! I hope I'll see you in the discord, where you can feel free to ask me whatever's on your mind. We've got a great community there, and lots of channels for talking about fan works, spoilers, theories, channels for other works of mine like Stagtown, or just hang out with us in general, hobbies, gaming and whatever you wanna talk about :D Stupid doodles and lore can and will be dropped by me on the regular.For those looking to join the 5$ tier in the future, we'r...

Chase's Diary, Entry # 3

I feel like Chase is missing some crucial info here. But at least he held onto his record.

Friday Doodles: Sleepy Deacon

Awww Deacon, you'll get a nice girlfriend someday! Don't give up, champ! Maybe she'll even be an elf, or a pirate lass! Anything's possible!

Patreon Discord Roles!

Hey everyone! We've been experiencing some issues with Discord's patreon bot not recognizing everyone's roles properly in the discord. Trying to get it fixed on their end, but in the meantime, if you are having trouble accessing the Discord under the role assigned to your Patreon tier, just DM me and let me know and I'll fix it for you! Thanks! :)Punko

Chase's Diary, Entry #2

Friday Doodles: The Little MerHollow

Today's doodle comes in three color options cuz I couldn't decide which one I liked best! Lots of people have asked, "will the cast ever do a mermaid story?" We may see a merstory and mercast in the future...or we may not. Season 1 is already set, so it would have to be a future thing for season 2. We'll see how it shakes out!In the meantime, here are three merboy Chases...should we do more next week? A sullen MerBuddy? An awkward MerDeacon trying to chat up a human princess? Sound off in the comments :) And feel free to use...

CHASE'S DIARY, ENTRY #1

Chase's diary has begun! He's not quite sure what to write just yet, but he'll get into the groove as he's given some topics. Maybe you can suggest some of your own in the comments?

Chase's Secret Diary is Coming!

We're cooking up new things for Patreon, and much like Grandpa Ralph, they're full of gossip and frosting!Starting this Monday, the 5 dollar patron tier will include weekly entries in Chase's Secret Diary, and weekly doodlesketches!Every Monday after Cinderella Boys' new episode airs, you'll get an entry into the diary Chase is forced to keep by Silver to improve his reading and writing skills, in the vain hope that he'll enjoy reading books more. Full of lore outside of the main series, Chase will talk about his life, h...

Sneak Peek Panel

When you're the king of all you see, and all you see is peanut butter cups.This is how I usually do panels, with a rough version of the background placed first, then the opacity turned down so i can draw on top of it. Afterward, the line art is colored and shaded and the background turned back up and finished to match it. :)

Nap Time Pal (Panel Art Preview)

Awww, the loneliest nap. Let's add a friend!

Sneak Peek Panel

Deacon being super manly and brave, like a Hollow boy do.

IT'S TIME TO CRIME

Did you know? A deleted scene from a lost episode of Cinderella Boy is currently being held for ransom by nefarious pineapples! If our pre-order merch campaign succeeds, the scene will be released. But patrons will get not only the deleted scene, but ALSO a summary of the FULL episode! :O Scroll to the end to find out how!Don't mind the AUTHOR BIO bit lol...just go to www.swagtown.netnow before they disappear! Likenapple will still be here though. That napple can get away with anything. :)This episode was fully scripted out and put into pro...

Got A Question?

Patrons don't have to wait for Q and A streams to get answers to their questions! Just added to the discord, an Ask Punko channel just for Q's about story stuff or whatever else you'd like to ask! Got a Q about making your own webtoon, or how publishing works, or how X works in Y situation in Cinderella Boy, or what Jeremy's favorite brand of cereal is in Stagtown? Just post! Question batches will get answered regularly! :) You can even ask how I made this neat postcard graphic! (It was actually super easy)

Fits Sneak Peek!

Rough sketch for an upcoming Buddy fit, and also a Deacon one. The context for Deacon's is a dang mystery, and I think Buddy is now cutting random holes in his clothes just to troll us.

Discord Link!

Hey there, some people were having trouble with Patreon not giving them access to the Discord link, so here is a link you can use to join us in the discord right now! :Dhttps://discord.gg/Jeh8fUh3Vu

Poster Art Preview!

Working right now on some stuff for the future merch shop, including a cute poster design :) I'm REALLLLLLY bad at coloring, outside of just flat colors. I've always been terrible at it. But I try really hard to keepi practicing and watch tutorials ans get better! I think I'm improving bit by bit, but it's slow going. Anyway this will be a wider poster, I just zoomed in on the bit I'd actually been coloring so far :)Really the best thing you can do as an artist, or in any job, is to avoid saying, "well I'm just not g...

Bonus Video: Hollow Farmhouse

I thought higher tier patrons would enjoy a very quick little look around inside Chase's house, in the kitchen and front rooms! If you'd like to see more of the individual models I use for Cinderella Boy, please let me know in the comments! if you're interested in something else, let me know that too! :DAlso yes, I did use this video as a chance to dunk on Deacon's mom's interior decorating. You're so try-hard, Beth.

Major patreon updates AND a cool video (and Shirtless Buddy)

Shirtless Buddy sketch is in this video, putting that up front as a thank-you for watching it lol.Some VERY cool new updates are coming to my patreon now that I am over the worst of a bad health issue and can finally make more content again. Thank you all for your patience through this bad time, thanks for being there with me in the discord and liking the goofy content I post there for you, thanks for all your feedback on the new series and THANKS IN GENERAL for being amazing! Your support has literally been the diff between Groceries and No Gr...

Webtoon Creation: Working With a Flats Artist

Because my new series Cinderella Boy is so much more work than Stagtown, I did have to take on an assistant, who is located overseas and does my flats. This means she's responsible for coloring all the flat colors for the characters, and then I go back in and add the patterns, shading, light effects, highlights on hair and fabric, etc. I am glad she's in charge of all those dumb stripes on the villain's purple shirt, those drive me insane. :D Flat colorists usually get paid a set amount per panel of art for a webtoon, though they mi...

When you're super bored as a comic artist

So often when I'm working long hours at home on my webtoon, I end up doodling on the panel art and sending it as a meme to some of my friends on Discord. Cuz that's what you do when you're a comic artist and super bored. I'd like to collect them all together some time and make an entirely out-of-context comic from them.

All Day Every Day

In case you wondered what it's like to be a WEBTOON creator, it's just this, all day, every day. Forever.

It Do Be Like That, Tho

My new series, Cinderella Boy, is coming out in November! We here at Punko's Fun Co are excited and delighted and screaming crying throwing up, etc. Already racked up one Bizenghast cameo, with many more bizarre cameos and in-jokes to come.There's a LOT of stuff packed into this new series, not the least being a monumental amount of work going into the coloring, background assets etc. Coming in October, I'll be posting a patrons video about how 3D assets are used in modern webtoons, including this one! If you've never seen how 3...

He's On The Bandwagon

I guess Chase got a copy of Baldur's Gate 3. He's crying on the floor with TikTok open on his phone.Me, I'm simping for Raphael. He lives as a middle-aged man who unironically buys red satin sheets, and he's like if dad jokes were demonic.

Mini: Chase and Deacon

Me, working on Stagtown: "I need that research book about soil content in northeastern Pennsylvania or these caves I draw will be ALL WRONG and the readers will be disgusted by my lack of total dedication!"Me working on Cinderella Boy: "EY YO I DREW THIS EP IN THE FRONT OF SOME DUDE'S CAR ON OUR WAY TO BUY FIREWORKS IN JERSEY, LIKE IT OR DON'T"

We Call it Chasers In this House

So now that Stagtown is over, the new series Cinderella Boy will be debuting in a matter of months! I am excited and nervous about how it will be received, especially since it's full-color and even with help from a part-time colorist, I still have a lot more work than usual to do on it, design-wise, and I'm not sure I'm up to the task. I've really only ever worked in black and white before, excepting Toyetica, which got a lot of coloring help. But I worked very hard to bring it this far and will keep trying to do my best!Fun fac...

Happy Sky Explosions, Everyone

How long have the gang been trapped in Stagtown? Long enough to be relieved they don't have to drive to Trenton to buy fireworks anymore.

Eat a Bee Mini Comic

You asked me to do it, and I did.

How a Webtoon Is Made (Stagtown Edition)

Thank you everyone for your patience while I finished up the last of a frankly stunning amount of medical tests and procedures, the sheer number of which I'm starting to suspect is directly connected to how many bribes my doctor takes from specialists that are outside my insurance's Tier 1 group.In the last poll, many people said they'd like to see how a webtoon is made. Many people also said they'd like to watch me eat a bee, so expect a mini-comic of that next week for the 5$ patrons. And yes, I'm just going to do everythi...

Stagtown Time-Lapse Video

Finally feeling better enough to start posting again! :) Here's a time-lapse panel of art from an upcoming Stagtown ep, from start to finish. Yes, I sleep with a wrist brace on and no, I don't think this is at all related to that fact.
