Page 269-270 (line-work).
🕑 Added 2024-06-19 19:00:08 +0000 UTCThanks for being so patient with me while I worked on this one! I had a great time designing all of the architecture and the creatures. Watching the Scavengers reign show really energised me to draw some aliens.
This two page spread marks the end of issue 8, so once this is all coloured up and I’ve added the speech bubbles and lettering, I’ll finish issue 8 up by creating a nice handy PDF for you all to re-read through it all if you so wish. Only one more issue to go then volume 2 is complete, this feels like a huge milestone!
But yes, I’ll be back soon with the colours and added lettering before the weekend, that’s my goal. Thanks as always so SO much for the financial support, it’s what allows me the freedom and time to work on big pages like this where I can put everything I have into them.

I've read the wiki and I think the starbreaker is prettty cool, the double black hole cannon is also pretty great.

I've not read the novel myself but ive looked at tidbits here and there, theres a superstructure called the Xeelee ring which to my knowledge isnt a weapon, but is still quite an interesting piece of megastructure engineering! Definetely gives post imperium earth vibes

I’m going to contact Patreon, it won’t let me upload images at the moment

Working on it now

I haven’t read the xeelee sequence no, but after a quick search it looks pretty interesting! There are definitely ways for the All-Mother to destroy Tandrax systems, but at the moment she’s biding her time as she expands her reach and power. She’s a tactician, she doesn’t want to provoke them when waiting would benefit her greatly. But I’ll look into the weapons you mentioned in the xeelee series, are there any in particular that you think are especially neat? I’ll definitely go into Psionics more in the future, yeah 😁

Not sure if relevant, but have you tried uploading with a different filetype/-extension (e.g. JPEG instead of just JPG, or even PNG)? What about contacting Patreon's support?

Have you ever read the Xeelee sequence? I'm just thinking about how the All-Mother could use all the various weapons they have in that series to destroy the Tandrax. Do you think a star-engine's shield could be disabled by a powerful psychic without the need for brute force? Also if the Tandrax use self-replicating drones as their military couldn't the All-Mother just use an EMP or even just hack into and control them? Do you think you'll make an infographic explaining how psionics works and what it can or can't do?
Blas Borde
me too, i see there are 4 images but none of them load

I'm not sure what's happening here but i've tried to fix it on multiple devices and this is for sure an issue on patreons end, i'll keep trying though.
Callum Diggle
you're probably right haha

It's my theory that almost all software these days is designed by interns without any QA/QC 🤣

Crap, Patreon is messing up again 🤦🏻♂️

Also happening to me.

Is it just me, or is the image broken?
