Starbeard

This guy was just supposed to be a simple background character BUT I LIKE HIM A LOT. SO MUCH SASS. I imagine he's a bit of a gruff, loud personality, but has a gooey, caramel center. Also I think he has a crush on one of the bar maids.

Hiveworks Website Design v1

Not to brag or nothing but the new website is gonna look SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET. (Shout out to Erin for making this rad thing. All I did was tweak some stuff and add some social media icons.)

Whoa Jeez Holy Crap

Everyone just calm down good grief.

So: About This Week.

So you may have seen today on the website that I chose not to update, and there are a lot of reasons for this even though I already have the next page done. 1. My buffer is shrinking. I started the chapter with a 10-13 page buffer and I've been pretty good about keeping it around that mark, but in the past couple ...

Volume 1 Cover

I'm really pleased with this. Oh man oh yeah!

PSSST - REDUX PAGES ARE OFFICIALLY UP ON SMACKJEEVES

I haven't made the official announcement yet, but you can read them all starting here: http://dotl.smackjeeves.com/comics/1836909/1-1/

When did Hugh Jackman become a character in this comic?

People have said that the Wolverine is strong in this one but this is ridiculous.

About Chapter 4

So I know I had a script and everything but I'm really tempted to just set it on fire and wing the rest of the comic like I did One Question. It sounds like a lot of fun.

Happy Monday, Buds!

Volume 1 Cover Preview

My Tumblr followers got a cropped preview, but you guys get to see the whole thing I've got so far. It's still not done yet, but I'm very pleased with it.

Little Fixes: Part 2

Something's not - oh, yeah, that's much better.

Little Fixes

So, redoing the first three (now six) pages makes me realize that the style of the entire comic has changed since I did the first chapter. This is a good thing because it means I'm growing and changing! However, it means that I'm also taking the opportunity to get the rest of these older pages up to snuff that...

Page 11 Preview

HA HA just kidding.

A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS

Intro Redux Sneak Peak #1

Man, redoing these first three pages is so desperately needed.

HIVEWORKS AFFILIATE

HERE IS THE ANNOUNCEMENT! I’m very excited to announce that Daughter of the Lilies has been accepted as an Affiliate of Hiveworks! What does this mean? Well, a lot of things! First off, the comic will be moving onto its own domain. This means that the SmackJeeves site will no longer be updated once the new website...

$80 MILESTONE

HHHGGGGNNNNNN YOU GUYS I ONLY JUST NOTICED THAT WE HIT THE $80 MILESTONE AAAUGUGGHGHHGHGHG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH Thank you, you guys! So, what this means is that now whenever you lovely Patrons see a page update on Mondays, there's going to be an additional post with a little preview, accompanied by an Attachment. T...

Today's Update will be a little late.

Obviously, this won't affect $5 patrons at all, because they already have the page, but I want to prep some stuff to tell you guys what's going on with Hiveworks and what that means for the future of the comic, and I need some time to prepare that. I'm really sorry to make you wait! I'll try to have i...

Hiveworks: The Inverview

So the interview just happened. I have a lot of work to do, and not a lot of time to do it in. AAAAAUAUUUGUGHGHHGHGHGHG More info later when my brain and emotions have settled!

Updated Milestones, Another Reward, and Character Cameo?

Yup! Okay! I added a new milestone and another Reward tier, for those who have deep pockets and an overwhelming sense of generosity. Check 'em out! ALSO! There's a part coming up in the story where a snooty, uppity Mage character confronts Thistle about something - does anyone have a character that could fit t...

Skipping the Traditionals?

I'm trying something new on this page. Keep an eye out for when this page goes up - I want you to tell me if it looks different than any of the other pages to make sure the quality doesn't drop. Also HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Mom and Dad

Here's a doodle of Brent's parents having a bit of a cuddle. They're nothing at all like their son. I've been thinking a lot about them this week, and Brent's backstory is beginning to solidify and take shape. I don't know if it will come into the comic at any point, but it's at least helpf...

Revolting References #1

Haven't spammed your inbox enough? How about some embarrassing reference photos I took of myself? I have to use this for a page I'm drawing today. Original Post: December 29, 2014 "I'm drawing this page today!" Edited Post: February 13, 2015 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ch3 Pg8

All this talk about commissions and Hiveworks and traveling and I almost forgot to actually update the comic! Gee whiz.

Hiveworks

Odds are if you're a hard-core web comic enthusiast, you've heard the name Hiveworks from time to time, if at all. They're a very respectable group that's just all about quality webcomics. Nytrinhia and I had discussed the possibility of putting together an application for them in the past, but open s...

Back from Christmas

...and right back to work! Here's a character commission for a fellow named Chris Lewis that I did when I got back as a way of easing back into things. Werewolves and (half) Orcs. Two of my most favorite things.

CHRISTMAS

HELLO PATRONS HAPPY FRIDAY Next week is Christmas, and the week after that is New Years. And unfortunately, I spent most of this week (and the last) running around and trying to get things ready for this massive amount of traveling that I have to do this weekend and the next. As such, there will unfortunately be NO NE...

UUUUGH I ACCIDENTALLY SAVED THE PSD FILE AFTER I MERGED ALL THE LAYERS NOW IT'S LOST FOREVER I'M SUCH AN IDIOT

Big Strong Back

I like how this panel came out, but it looks like Thistle's worried about something.

So I met this cool dude at TrotCon this past summer - a fellow called Shield Generator - who really enjoyed the Pony!Chell prints I had made. I pointed out that it was rather old and needed some updating - which he agreed with, and he’s been very good about nudging me about it every once in awhile since then. He re...
