Advance Pages to Patreon
I’m going to set up a posting rhythm for my Patreon Page subscribers (http://www.patreon.com/pactarcanum).
I’m going to post the rough pencil images I’ve received from the artist (Jayant Mall, J Labs) on Saturday, then the final image the following week, followed by the official post on my website the week after. So that means subscribers will get two pages a week (one rough, and one finished), in addition to the official post on the Pact Arcanum website. Subscribers will only be charged for t...

Webcomic Update
So, I have been quietly moving ahead with the Pact Arcanum Webcomic, to bring the books to a new medium.

This is an expensive effort, and while I plan to post weekly for free, I would welcome any donations to defray costs, either through the donations link at the bottom of each new page, or though the Patreon account I am setting up. If...
