updates at random

Bonus art – Dance Lesson

"Dance Lesson," linework, "Tock the Gnome"

 

No new pages yet, but to mark the day, I’m posting this in-progress piece of a certain Orc and a certain Gnome sharing a dance <3

This will be finished with simple color in the style of the comic pages eventually. And hopefully I’ll have something more to post soon. Thanks, as always, for reading.

On reality and updates

ANNOUNCEMENT: For personal reasons, I will be switching back to a random update schedule until further notice.

I wish this were avoidable, but I’m going through a difficult time right now and I need to focus on getting certain parts of my life in order before I can give this comic the attention it deserves.

I also need to catch up on donation commissions, as I advertised a few weeks ago. In the meantime, I will still be posting information and bonus sketches and such when I can, but not on any planned schedule.

Hopefully this period of minor chaos won’t last too long. Thank you for your patience in the meantime. If you want any further information, please contact me here or via the Tock the Gnome Facebook page. And if you’re interested, I am still accepting donations with repayment (from me) in art, so please click the link in the above paragraph if you’re curious about that.

So yes, I’ll post what I can when I can, and plan on another announcement as soon as I’m sure I can be back to regular updates. Thanks, always, for reading.

“Tock the Gnome” jewelry :)

So this isn’t for sale (if there ever is Tock jewelry for sale, trust me, you’ll know), but my amazing, amazing fiancee made some Tock-inspired jewelry for me this past Valentine’s Day and I wanted to share <3

 

Look at this!  And this!  And this!  And this!  And that's me wearing it. Hullo.

 

Also, yup, that’s me. Hullo.

Next page next week.

This is one of those moments where I’m sure, if logic prevailed, Bumble would try to have Tock committed.

There’s very little chance Page 49 will be up on time tomorrow, due to other claims on my time (as usual). The pencil work is done, though, and the ink work is just started, so I expect to have it up by Wednesday instead.

For your patience, though, here’s a preview of the first panel : )

Sketch – Gnomish bonnet

"Gnome bonnet," pencil sketch, "Tock the Gnome"

Just before my recent troubles, I went through a random Western-kick, so I ended up drawing this (I’d attempted this idea before, but not as successfully).

On that note, thanks to the generosity of several people, I do have supplies again, so I should be back to regular updates next week! Thanks to anyone who saw my post last week about donations and helped me out, and thanks as always for reading :)

No update this week

There will be no usual update this week, as I’m having certain problems at home that needed attention.

Instead, if you can, I ask that you take a look at something over on my main art site.

The problems I’ve mentioned are of the financial variety – to the point that I’m having a lot of trouble paying bills, including heat and rent – so I’ve put out a call for donations. If you choose to donate, you will be “repaid” in art.

Click here for more information (and examples of what art repayment is available).

Thanks as always to all of you for reading. There will be an actual Tock-related update, even if its not a full page, next week.

Fun fact: I keep the original copies of each page in an Itoya portfolio, and as of this page, I’ve finally filled one up :)

Sketch – Newlyweds

"Newlyweds," Tock's parents, "Tock the Gnome"

Confession time: The reason page 46 was a week late was because all my creative time that week went to a different project.

That project was something with which to propose marriage to my girlfriend of 9 years.

I had also drawn this to post as the filler piece that week (instead of the sketch I ended up posting), but life intervened and I ended up having to push my plans back.

But I’ve now asked her, and she said yes <3 So here this is finally too.

(If you don’t remember from before, these are Tock’s parents.)
