Rainbow Crate - Game Changers Set!

My big project got officially announced last week! I will be illustrating 2 endpapers per book in the entire Game Changers special edition by Rainbow Crate. The first part of this set will be available for preorder this fall; which is also why my posts here will be sparse. That deadline is no joke for 8 fully rendered illustrations!

I'm so excited to be involved with this project. Huge shout-out to Charlie for linking me the artist application form, which I almost skipped because I didn't think I'd have a chance... But then it all worked out, and it's my biggest project to date! I'm determined to do my absolute best.

Now, if only this blasted heatwave could actually let me work, that would be amazing. 😂

Commissions will open this Thursday, July 17th 🎨 🖌️

I've updated my prices for the first time this year.

To juggle all my projects, these slots will be very limited, and I have increased my turnaround time for these to "up to 6 weeks" - I usually finish faster, but the buffer is there in case I need it. 👍

A waitlist will be available after!

This is a heads up in case you want to get your info and references ready. Here's how I like them: https://www.artbymue.com/2023/09/16/how-to-commission-me/

I'll make another announcement shortly before the form goes live, which will also include a link to the SubscribeStar $5+ member discount!

My comic FRANTIC LIVE turns 6 years old today!

It's been 6 years since I started posting it online after preparing the entirety of volume 1 for print. Much has changed in these years, and most notably, I haven't been able to update the comic much. It was my first long comic project, and there is no underestimating the amount of work that goes into something like this - especially when you're working in full color.

Eventually, I had to put comic work on the backburner when COVID happened and I lost conventions as a means of income (and tbh, they were not a great one to begin with!)

I think everyone here knows how much I love Mitch and want to tell his story. Volume 1 was made with a strict deadline and intended for print with what limited funds I had, so I had to keep the page count low, compressing plot elements that could've used more love. This has been bothering me for years!

Because of this, I'm pleased to announce that FRANTIC LIVE will be REMASTERED, with Scribbleryn's help to re-do and polish the plot. This is a complete reboot which will be mostly self-hosted so we don't have to censor or tone down any part of it.

Some elements will change, some will stay. It will be the same old Mitch, band, Sam, Gerry... with a host of new characters to support. We will be working on this over the spring and summer and will share more tidbits soon!
