Quick doodles with the mouth with backup tablet while waiting for tons of files to transfer onto my main tablet.

Many thanks to Dmitriy for his noble sacrifice.

Kouryuu contemplates just what science has done.

Obligatory round Virmir-eon drawn with mouth whenever I finish CF comic early on Thursdays.

Colored lines example! This would be an alternative to shading.

Donnie and BlueDragon62 collaborated to make this dragon and I had to make my own!

General chat room consensus is that I should eat Medik.

Arin is so thoughtful with his gifts, I figured I should return the favor.

That last guy got snagged in a tree around here somewhere...

Trade with ShindenWolf!

FrostedLights achieves her final form and unleashes mayhem upon the world.

Part one of a six part trade with Medik! I'll be doing one part every couple of months so this will be fairly spaced out.

Hello!

Crimson Flag now returns to its regularly scheduled updates every Saturday!

Because I was not happy with the pace that my arms were healing, I have decided to learn to draw with my mouth. Therefore I am now able to output one page per week in addition to other art on the weekends while still resting the arms enough so they are not overworked (that is, two days with the right hand, two days with the left hand, three days with the mouth). This schedule, plus a buffer of 12 pages, should ensure this sort of thing never happens again.

I start using my mouth on upcoming page 350. Page 351 is actually drawn entirely with my mouth and from there I start using my right hand a little more each week until 355 or so where most of the line work is right handed and then I finish all the coloring, shading, effects with my mouth. (Meanwhile, I'm using my left hand to draw other stuff on the weekend.) This is where I'm at now and it's a pretty good schedule that's not bothering any body part significantly and is also allowing me to satiate my deep rooted need to spend every conceivable moment drawing. Hoorray!

12 pages is a pretty crazy huge buffer for a weekly comic, however I'm going to maintain it as long as both my arms are still not up to speed. If they ever do heal 100% (that would put me at something like 300% drawing capacity), then maybe I'll consider burning off some of the buffer with some bonus updates or something.

Most historians agree this was the event that sparked the interstellar conflict that would later come to be referred to as the Taur Wars.

The conflict abruptly ended after the inflatable aliens simply left the atmosphere, sporting extra limbs, confused.

Toast victimizes Mehl with some dark arts.
