The next story page will hopefully be Wednesday
Ihave a knee pain issue, and I can't find a way to sit and work on the comic without feeling like I'm making it worse.This is an issue I woke up with on Saturday, and my hope is with rest, it will go away, but I can't know for sure.

Jay with Susan as fairies 🧚🏻♂️The exact circumstances will be tailored to the result. Can vote for more than one.Voting ends end of day December 3rd. It's a long voting range to take into account potential travel complications for US patrons (Thanksgiving)

WOO! A new profile image!- At egscomicsWell, of COURSE this was worth devoting an entire storyline to! I can't just DRAW things! I have to draw things!CommentaryNext EGSNP TBA!I'll announce when the next EGSNP will be when I'm sure, but it will definitely be over a week due to writing, American Thanksgiving, a thing I've got going on next week, a dance competition that I'm definitely lying about, and writing (mentioned twice f...

Penultimate Epic Character Creation- At egscomicsPenultimate being the last comic before the last comic, so the second-to-last comic of the storyline. Which most of you will know, but hey, something to write here.CommentaryI was acting perfectly naturally in panel one and claims to the contrary accusing me of trying to look a particular way for attention are ludicrous.(Insert dramatic pout and hair flip here)Cinderella?I'm not kidding about t...

Intense VTuber Lore!- at egscomicsOfficial music video delayed because SOMEONE doesn't know how to sing (it's me, I don't know how to sing).EDIT: Eye color correction and minor shadow change.CommentaryIntense VTuber lore!Followed by video games wheeeeeReally, this is tame by VTuber lore standards, but I really wanted to do the "villainess" thing, so Dana Nekoshive isn't, like, the guardian of reality or something. She'...
Next EGSNP Thursday
Sorry about the delay! I took my car in to check one thing, and as will sometimes happen when one does that, more things were found, including something with the brakes 🫠 “This will go quickly!” (It did not go quickly)

Meow? Meow meow meow. MEOW! - at egscomicsMEEEEOOOOOWWWW-HO HO HO!CommentaryI didn't go with "the device" for the first two panels just to build suspense. I also knew I'd spend approximately ten thousand years sketching and resketching the outfit, and experimenting with the shading.This proved wise.I was inspired to play with asymmetry by calico cats, so when I do draw this villainess form in color, expect orange.--More comics at ...

A time associated with the having of adventure!- At egscomicsAt least THIS one is the 14th comic on the 14th.--More comics at egscomicsin partnership with Hiveworks

In which there might have been SCIENCE! - At egscomicsOr engineering or something. Look, if you want this sort of thing to be taken seriously, you call the character a scientist. I don't make the rules.CommentaryIt's all incredibly scientific.By which I mean I put some decorations on what amounts to a shed with a vertically sliding door so I can change forms while inside it.Which is still impressive in its own way when you think about it....
Definitely Never Been Here Before
Caught off-guard by the invitation to the magic tea shop, Ashley shook her head, and claimed she'd never been there before. She soon regretted this lie, for Grace and Sarah immediately insisted on introducing her to it.Once there, Ashley did everything in her power to distract Grace and Sarah from seeing the plaque celebrating her as a regular, and exceptionally enthusiastic, customer.As tends to happen with sitcom-style hijinks, these attemp...
Epic Character Creation 12
In search of reference - https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/epiccc-012That's not Tedd, by the way. I know I somehow drew someone who looks a lot like Tedd without realizing what I was doing, but that's no excuse for everyone else fairly--I mean, unfairly getting confused.CommentaryI did not intend to draw a character who could easily be mistaken for Tedd, but I drew a character would could easily be mistaken for Tedd. In fact, I imagine ther...
Jay Relaxes
In which Jay gets to relax with a whole ton of pillows and illusory animals.EDIT - Minor shadow correction
Next EGSNP Saturday
The next EGSNP is going to be Saturday for health reasons.I'm not feeling well, and I'm suspicious it might be stress. It could also be a stomach bug or something. I should probably stop trying to self-diagnose.Either way, I've decided to have the next EGSNP Saturday.

Strategic Feline Planning- At egscomicsStep 1: See a bird. Step 2: Make sounds that totally sound like a bird. Step 3: Catch bird.CommentaryMaking this comic was legitimately helpful, and I really should do more brainstorming like this just in general.I think an issue some people have when brainstorming (me, I have this issue) is that they're overly concerned with the quality of what's brainstormed, but like, just toss it out there. Don&#...

Villainess Fruit - At egscomicsAttack of the mean girl tomatoes?CommentaryThe genuine answer is “of course not”.My earliest memories are of preferring female characters in stories, wanting to play as them in games, and wanting action figures of them. Like, that was VERY innate with me.And this was in the olden times with the dinosaurs and such. There were fewer female main characters in kids media in general, action figures of such characters...
Next EGSNP Saturday
Next EGSNP will be Saturday due to not getting enough sleep, and feeling it heavily today.(I deserve to be criticized for this, I know. I even had a magic wand call out Tedd on not getting enough rest).Also, please let me know if you'd prefer I not post schedule announcements like this here. I'm not sure if I'm being considerate, or if I'm just unnecessarily taking up space in people's inboxes 😥
End of Month Poll - October 2024
Four panel comic:Tedd is in the foreground trying to test out a transformation app. Whois in the background, their figure and clothes being transformed without Tedd realizing it?(If Elliot is chosen, a masculine-to-feminine change will be part of it.)------------Can vote for more than one, poll ends end of day November 1st.The next sketchbook will be of Jay relaxing, and posted November 6th, which will be a day off from the story comic as I will ...

Encouragement - At egscomicsI lost track of time when making this comic, and when I realized it was going to be late, I decided not to say anything because I feared losing time to random distractions just making the announcements o_o;CommentaryKITTY!I originally imagined myself wandering off to change outfits, encouraged by Tedd, but then we wouldn't see my avatar in a dress this comic.Also, this is a comic that I'm drawing. My avatar can...

Something else while sliders are retooled- At egscomicsOkay, so now there's an arch-nemesis to the sliders, and other sliders that act contrary to the original sliders, and... Hm. Y'know, I'm not sure these changes are improving things.EDIT: "Forget" was "forgot". Fixed.CommentaryLook, I haven't openly admitted to jealousy of a cartoon rabbit because I'm overflowing with confidence, okay?Fortunately, odds are p...

Sliders! - at egscomicsThe character creation kind, not the travel between dimensions kind. Someone will get that reference in 2024, right? No? Not even me? I do feel a little confused by it somehow.CommentaryI told Minion he should go do whatever for a while I played around with character creation sliders, but I get the feeling he just sat around waiting for something to go wrong instead.I mean, he was right, but he should have more faith in me....

Shapes and such- At egscomicsAnd pancakes! Ah, dang it. I want pancakes now.Commentary"No no, the physics are totally applicable! It just happens when no one is looking."Panel three isn't a universal truth, mind you. Far from it, in fact.That being said, however, given some of the models out there, Minion has a point.I'm actually not decided on my final catgirl villainess form, so where certain character creation sliders line up i...

Personalization- At egscomicsStill about ten hours to go, and--Wait, this is the comic announcement. It's done? HOW?!CommentaryUnfortunately for Minion, I was watching an anime one day when I heard "something-something-neko", and the subtitles read "homewrecker." I knew "neko" meant cat, so I wanted to find out if they actually were being called a cat.I looked it up, and apparently, yes, yes they were. Now I'm curi...

A powerful item - At egscomicsIs it a sword? A shield? A violet? Wait, a violet? Isn't that just a color? (Checks) I guess it can be a flower. It's probably not a violet, though. No idea why I said that.CommentaryIt was about fifty dollars new.And was Fashionpedia by Fashionary. Also, I guess it says it's a "dictionary", not an encyclopedia?Anyway, it's for comic stuff! It's fine! And it has one of those, like, built i...

Nerdiness intensifies - At egscomicsNot that that has to be a BAD thing, mind you.CommentaryI've pretty much universally seen VTuber spelled without a dash, but I'm using V-Tuber in the comic for ease of reading.And this truly is the origin of the idea for this avatar. I thought "well, what would my gimmick be," and very quickly landed on catgirl villainess. If I had to choose an animal, I'd choose cat. If I had to choose a gi...
The Last End of Month Poll... Was a TIE!
The poll in question was here, and now we need to either break the tie, or merge the options.Original options - Jay gets a chance to RELAX:1 -Relaxing on a pile of pillows you don't even know how many2 -At a comfortable location where she gets to pet an assortment of illusory fluffy animalsThe new options are clarified versions of 1 and 2, and 3, which combines the two.If THIS poll is a tie, I will settle things with a dice roll, or this coul...

What am I even- At egscomicsNo seriously this is possibly the most self-indulgent storyline ever.CommentaryIt's in Minion's job description to judge everything I do, so he can't technicallybe rude to me.I think.GenresI did not look up how other people define the genre, or what other people consider the tropes of these genres. I've read enough that I simply have my own perception of the genre(s), what I would / would not include, s...
Epic Character Creation - 01 - HD
A new adventure begins (right after...) - At egscomicsIt'll totally only take, like, five minutes, tops.CommentaryThe inspiration for this storyline is pretty much entirely around me wanting a new avatar.Like, not even necessarily all the time in the comic. I'm talking just, like, a picture I can use places (which means, by default, there'll be a color / sketchbook version of the result later).As for how the heck THAT can work as a st...
Boundaries Not Yet Set
The exciting flashback from moments before Jay politely, but firmly, made some things VERY clear to Grace.(I say politely, but it's more accurate to say she attempted to be polite.)(Grace ultimately would have gotten the message just from Jay's face.)--More comics at egscomicsin partnership with Hiveworks
End of Month Poll - September 24
Jay gets a chance to RELAX.--Polls open until end of day October 2nd (October 3rd depending on Time zone)Multiple choices allowed.
Double Date - 77 The End - HD
Double Date - The End- At egscomicsFrom our perspective, I mean. The date's still going for them. They've got way more frames to finish and stuff.CommentaryThis is the end of the storyline, but this plot will be continued in the main section someday!EGSNP will return Tuesday, October 8th.I'm also plotting a sketchbook next Thursday on the third.- Sword!- Failure to mention SWORD!WHICH secrets will everyone continue to keep?!WHAT thing...
