A couple of comic updates that are not new pages!
1: The Long Overdue Title Change
The word "dominion" is a holdover from a very VERY early incarnation of the comic, and was always intended to be a temp title. I ended up settling for the new title of "scumbags" (was originally meant to be "merry gang of scumbags" but four people isn't... a gang. It's not even a posse. It's just some dudes hanging out.) so... that's the comic's new title! It's also better for SEO.
2: Evie Domi Vs Her Own Comic
It took me over a year, but I believe I've finally started to settle on an art style, and a way to draw my own characters, that I actually really like. I don't think anyone particularly minds how experimental some pages are, but I kind of do. I have therefore embarked on a quest to re-ink and somewhat fix a bunch of earlier pages, which will also come with some tweaked dialogue, character design consistency (Acorn's helmet will never not make me suffer. I haven't drawn this thing the same way twice.) even at the rate of a page a day, this'd take MONTHS, so i'm of course prioritizing drawing new pages, but when I do complete a batch of fixed pages, I'll be posting it on the patreon.
That should be all for now. Thank you for reading my comic! I really appreciate it! There's... Stuff. Coming in the future. Stuff happens. Stuff hits the fan. You're going to like it.

I'm glad you're starting to settle on an art style that you like. Looking forward to reading more about these scumbags.
I made a patreon for my webcomic if that’s a thing someone might find of interest!
The only reward right now is supporting the comic, but i’d like to post full resolution pages there too (tapas crunches them to a width of less than 1000px!)

It’s just for those who feel like chipping in a couple of bucks a month, the comic will of course continue either way!

they're good gobbos brent
I do, in fact, enjoy this. Thank you!
sorry guys. there'll likely be very irregular updates for a while. I suffer from reoccurring severe depression (it comes back every year and half/2 years regardless of medication, therapy or lifestyle changes) and am going through an episode right now. i can't afford professional help, so all i can do is try to ride it out, but it makes drawing very hard. i'll keep drawing my comic, but i can't guarantee i'll be able to keep up with the weekly (sometimes bi weekly when i feel like it!) pace of the comic orz.
Stay strong! Take as much time as you need.
I've been there. Take your time, getting a break can be an excellent decision while you're fighting off depression, at least you don't have to stress about work, meaning you can actually get to work and to normality sooner.
Take your time, we can wait as long as you need!
Thank you guys so much, i really really appreciate it :_:
Stories from the Dominion (THAT'S THE TITLE OF THE WEBCOMIC BTW, IT'S JUST TOO LONG) resumes this thursday! I went on an impromptu trip to Paris. When the comic resumes, it'll likely look a little different, style-wise. That's because I'm trying out a style that will let me make more pages (at the expense of clearer visuals but i value story more than art right now!) so that's also why it's taking me so long to get around to it... I keep drawing pages, then erasing them... Looking for the secret formula...
Sorry for no updates lately! I'm taking some time to properly script and map out the rest of this chapter [plus now that travel is becoming a thing again, I had an attack of wanderlust and randomly decided to visit Paris! :) ] Mostly, this comic is very important to me, so I'd rather skip a few updates to get the story straight than risk writing myself in a corner and losing interest, which is always a risk with webcomics!
While I'm at it, I've been wondering- theoretically, if i were to make a patreon to help support my comic monetarily, would any of you by any chance be interested in it?

1.) you have to put out better than the 5 others ones I throw $1 to $5 at. Which you do in artwork and story. 2.) More likely to give using subscribestar but give money to ComicFury over patreon so ... and I know they give you a bigger share
An illustration of Angus and Renga that I drew today! I'd like to draw more pictures like this. Right now I'm posting anything that isn't webcomic pages on my twitter and instagram (@dominioncomix and @dominion-comix respectively) but i was wondering- would you guys like to occasionally be notified here too when i post a new illustration?
❤️
Your art is so good!
Love you art too- might not see your notation as my feed get full from random Tapas ones
Yes please! :)
Here’s a story for you: when I was little, I lived in Siemenkota, by the docks.
I had a friend, his name was Erhu.
He liked to climb stuff. He really was an amazing climber.
So one day, Ehru’s climbing on the side of one of these merchant boats from the South, the ones with the fancy figureheads.
They’re all beautiful women with their chests out, which is why he was climbing it.
You know. To touch the statue’s breasts.
When he’s about waist-high to the figurehead, he slips and falls, and on the way down, he catches a clump of barnacles with his hand.
It cuts him up real bad, but breaks his fall, and probably saves his life.
That’s when he starts telling the story: as he was falling, the figurehead moved, and reached out for him, and it wasn’t barnacles that saved him from breaking his neck on the dock, but this beautiful woman made of wood.
And he keeps telling the story. To friends, to family, to anyone who will listen.
Some years later, before I left Siemenkota for good, that same merchant ship came back.
And just like last time, I watched from the docks as Ehru climbed. Lots of people watched. His story had become kind of a neighborhood legend.
This time, he had a flower with him. I think maybe, he wanted to present it to her.
This time, there was nothing to break his fall.
I think about this often. About his face in that moment - that look of surprise and confusion.
He lived for an hour longer, and he never said a word, just looked up at the figurehead with that hurt look in his eyes.
I think, after telling that story over and over, he had really started to believe it, and died in fear and confusion, not understanding why the beautiful statue hadn’t saved him again this time.
I have my own story to tell. It’s a little longer than Ehru’s story. And I’ll tell it to you once, and then I’ll put it behind me forever.
Just once.
So I don’t forget.
