Holiday Week: Time Lapse 1

That is some great magic to watch. You make it look effortless.

Maurice Kessler

Those are serious eyebrows. Nobody should fool with her now. Kids, well let's just say they have yet to comprehend how serious eyebrows can be. Let them be.

Nice time lapse, and it does it all by itself. Damn that's a sweet feature to add.

Richard Durrer

Is there a canon height for May? I hope she's 6'2" now, because my girlfriend is that tall and she reminds me of May, what with all the being suspicious of other people's altruism toward her and all.

Miranda E. O. Wilde

This is SO COOL.

Speech bubble tails are missing in the top right panel. Also, methinks Sam is about to get another important lesson vis-a-vis prying into other people's personal matters.

Reyn Goldfur

Now quick go look at QC #1; someone should make a timelapse of your art style over time

This is so cool to see. As someone who draws (albeit not as well) it's so awesome to see the processes of other artists. Love your comics Jeph, I hope you're getting rest dude.

The Patreon embed isn't loading for me in Chrome 87 on Android 11. Thanks for the direct link.

Seconded - in your own time, obviously.

Cass

OhMyGosh, this is SO COOL! Thank you very much. 😀💖

Lucy Glorius

You only do a *single* guide draft line layer? Jeez my first draft layers look like children’s crayon scribbles. You’ve come so far since your first comic it’s incredible

Robin Wyatt

That right there is sofa king cool, Jeph. Thanks.

Jeffrey Anderson

Wow, a master at work.

Zain Redding

Awesome! =) It's great to see your process! =)

Hey that's cool!

Kaarchin

Take a week off they said... I don’t hate this, it is not horrible.

Tommm

That's super neat, thanks for posting it!

AcheronYYC

This is the best kind of bonus content, especially if it doesn't require extra effort to produce. So good to see the process.

That's cruel and unusual punishment.

Fuzzy Logik

I've always loved "how it's made" vids. I never imagined you started with the dialog then filled in the background, then the characters. Cool!

OldGoat

V cool! I voted for "take a week off" because I sincerely believe you (more than) deserve some down time, but I find process stuff fascinating, so if it's suitably low effort to share more of these, I'd love to see them.

William Cole

This is awesome! It'd be really cool to hear you talk through your process and the steps you take.

I still kinda hold that robot jail is mostly AIs doing forced "community service". May was made responsible for monitoring crosswalk requests for a suburb of Muncie.

It's amazing to see just how few lines are necessary to make it completely clear who the character being sketched is. Not even ten lines are necessary for them...

Mark Thomas

I remember when you used to stream these on twitch until you got banned/suspended for a boner cat AFK sketch. Definitely have missed those streams. Would love to see more of these!

Kaos7heory

Woah this was awesome :O

Spacey02111

why do I feel like this needs the yakit sax music...

Mark Mckay

Holy crap that is so cool!!!!! 😍 Thank you so much for sharing!

Kat Kennewell

that's fun!

Tamara Temple

Thank you, Jeph. And may you have a wonderful new year.

Joseph Bonnar

Wow that is really cool

John S

WAY COOL! Wow. Thanks for sharing this. DEFINITELY do it again!

David Hernandez

I just watched this five or six times, pausing frequently. It was really interesting. I'll pick out two things to comment on. First, I liked how your pencil drawings were visible but in a different layer throughout, but particularly when drawing the background. I can see how that would be really useful. The other thing is the way the characters jerk slightly after they're inked, and at one point it looks like she jumps in front of May. I infer that each character is in her own layer, and May was pulled forward so that she could be finished easily and just pushed back behind for a slight overlay, instead of having to guess where every line should go. Very cool!

Jeremy Westerfield

This is great! Awesome to see your process.

so cool

lilibat

Awh that is cool as hell Jeph! Maybe next year, more Bembo?

Matthew Graf

Omg! Omg! Omg! I love this!!!!!

Ginaelisa Cortez

Agreed! That is really neat to watch. To see the evolution of a particular strip.

Michael Boettger

That's actually pretty cool

Kris Jones

Honestly, the most fascinating parts for me were which parts of the comic Jeph switched to working on when.

VideoBrew

Nice to see. You make it look easy! I still can't draw.

BobC

This is super cool to see. Also, how am I just noticing those eyebrows?

nowshowjj

As long as these don't add to much to your work load I'd love to see more in the future.

Scott Vogel

This is really cool to watch..

Slashplane

That is really cool, to see the minor ... shifts? corrections? whatever. It's neat to see it come together!

Chris Mannes

Wow! Total fun! Thanks, Jeph.

Matt Grayson

Thats amazing work!
