If I were smart, I wouldn’t have let Lightning Lady borrow my phone this morning.

I’m running a Spice Rack Comics Showcase on Patreon — a creator-by-creator spotlight featuring samples from every artist in the collective.

So far, I’ve highlighted:
• The Cummoner — delightfully unhinged fantasy filth
• Pixie Trix — sexy mischief wrapped in razor-sharp humor

And we’re just getting started.

By the time the dust settles, I will have shared 87 pages of NSFW comics with Patreon backers — all pulled from the massive Spice Rack sampler PDF. It’s a fantastic way to discover new creators, expand your reading list, and support the indie adult-comics community.

If you’re a Patreon backer, keep an eye out — more artists are being featured every few days, and some of these comics absolutely go places.

(And if you’re not a backer yet… this is a pretty great month to give yourself a gift.)

ECCC – Comics Consultation

Posted on March 23, 2015 by Brad Guigar
emerald_city_logoI haven’t done this in a while, but I thought I’d throw it out there in case anyone was interested. If you’re interested in doing a one-on-one consultation on your webcomic — and if you’ll be attending Emerald City Comicon (March 27-29 in Seattle) — feel free to book a consult, and we’ll schedule some time during the show to sit down and talk about your work. I’ll give you a free copy of The Webcomics Handbook and we’ll discuss your comic, your site, social media, merchandizing, self-publishing and anything else that’s on your mind. There are two options…

Analysis and consultation

This is the $200 level. I will review your comic/site/etc. beforehand and provide a top-down analysis, based on my experience, of what I see working and what could be improved. And I’ll give you some actionable strategies for maximizing the good and fixing the areas that need it. We’ll open the discussion based on the analysis, and we’ll leave room at the end for you questions, concerns, thoughts, etc. The session will last for one hour, and you will get a complimentary copy of The Webcomics Handbook.

Consultation only

This is the $100 level. At this level, we sit down and start talking. I will not have looked at your site beforehand. Rather, I will look at whatever you bring — portfolio, your Web site on a digital tablet, etc. — and we will discuss your comic, your site, social media, merchandizing, self-publishing and anything else that’s on your mind. This discussion will be lead by you. It is much more a “question/answer” kind of discussion. The session will last for one hour, and you will get a complimentary copy of The Webcomics Handbook.
