I think Pogo’s attention span might be even worse than Annie’s…

Lots of stuff today, so I’ll try to be brief. First, for those of you who didn’t see it on social media, last week I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Marty at Top Webcomics about building a comic universe. I discussed my process for DOTU and shared a few not-yet-revealed insights about the story and characters (no spoilers, though). You can see the article about it here:

Second, don’t forget that there will be a bonus page this Thursday!

Third, this is the 100th page of DOTU! The 100-page stat includes the cover for chapter 1 and chapter 2, by the way. With the bonus page, next Monday will add up to 100 non-cover comic pages. So I’m having a little sketch request celebration that starts today and closes next Monday. Hopefully, it’ll be fun for everyone, and it gives the very rare chance for people to, well, request a sketch of DOTU characters doing weird things, with some limitations of course.

And finally, this week’s Top Webcomics voting incentive is three portrait sketches: Pogo, Merritt, and Samsid. And here’s something special: it’s the first time I’m showing Samsid without his hat on. I finally caved in and bought a Photoshop brush pack, which makes a huge difference in making digital sketching actually be fun and look like traditional sketching.
