Dear all -
I am aware, from the SubStacks that I follow, that sometimes a post (or more) a day can be too much. Obviously tolerance and interest can vary person to person, so I’m trying to gauge a mean here, and figure out how often, roughly, I should put a post up - hence the poll below! (But do read what’s beneath the poll as there is news, updates and preview art!)
I’d also love to hear what I can do to encourage contributions? I have almost 1,600 subscribers, but only 22 paid. I’m of a mind that I would rather reach more people for free than keep this exclusive and paid, but that does make it hard to reward those who have been kind enough to show their support fiscally. Those contributions really help justify the time I spend bringing you these insights, previews, sneaky peeks, and stories from my years in the biz, but the real point of this was to make sure that anybody who signed up was aware of what’s coming, and when.
To which end, I’m very much looking forward to the upcoming Lake Como Comic Art Festival! Click the image below to see the amazing creators attending the show this year!
Lastly, just a reminder that 'The Savage Sword of Conan’ #8 featuring my story ‘The Wuthering’ (preview below!) is out at the end of the month!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!! As you know, it’ll be my first ever published Conan strip, and a career long (and more) bucket list item!!!
Thanks again for all the support! I never take it lightly!
Best,
Liam
That third page! Its like Gustav Dore!
I dunno... Work-in-progress posts/videos (I really enjoy watching the kind of drawing/inking videos Frank Cho does, for example); Drawing/inking/painting tips; commissions; perhaps a "free" sketch every year for those that sign up to paid tiers; portfolio reviews for the highest tiers; discussion on the books/comics/music you love and what they mean to you; a look through your bookshelves; how you broke in and how the industry has changed since... Also, don't be afraid to repeat art that you've shown previously, few are going to go back through the archives to check everything is brand new and never-seen-before.
