In all seriousness, I'm a 21-year-old nonbinary trans person from England. My interests outside of art include Pokémon, fantasy of all sorts, and travelling the country for gigs and fun times. I'm passionate about comics and diversity across all aspects of identity in media.

Hey y'all! I know it's been a while since I updated Beta Stratagem, so: I decided to take an impromptu hiatus because between getting ill, travelling and Christmas/New Year I was super behind and I needed to step away for a bit. The comic WILL be updating again, either this Friday or next Tuesday, and hopefully then I can update on-schedule until the end of this chapter (which isn't too far off). Thanks for sticking with and I hope y'all are having a good 2018 so far.

NOTICE: I'm changing Beta Stratagem's update schedule to Tuesday/Friday. I always forget on Mondays and end up posting them Tuesday anyway so I may as well roll with it

Heads up: there will be no Beta Stratagem pages this coming week (June 26-July 2)! I'm taking a total break from work (read: comics) and a partial break from the internet in general. Updates will resume as normal July 3.

Sorry for missing Beta Stratagem updates Monday & today! I straight-up forgot on Monday and with all the election chaos here, it slipped my mind today, too, plus I just looked over this week's pages and realised I need to make a quick change to one... but it's 2am and I desperately need to go to bed LOL. Pages will be coming tomorrow!

Hello everyone! Long time no see, here's another update:

Checkmate will be returning soon! I've started scripting & laying out ALL future pages (right through to the end of the comic...!) which will hopefully make things run a little smoother. Once I have my page buffer back for Patreon patrons (who get each page as soon as I finish it!), I'll start posting weekly again.

If you want updates and art from me in the mean time, I post VERY regularly on twitter (ryanradley) and tumblr (ghostmoor)! I'm also now on deviantart (reckingstacks) if that's your thing.

Hopefully y'all had a good summer. See you soon with new comic pages >:)

Sup folks, here's a more in-depth update about comics.

Regarding Checkmate: it will be staying on hiatus until I finish the fantasy zine I'm working on, because there was a lot of interest in it when I did an interest poll on Twitter and it's been sitting on the backburner way too long haha. Plus, I could use the $$ since it's going to be paid-for content. I also haven't had a chance yet to rebuild my Checkmate buffer, which I want to do before I start updating weekly again.

Regarding In Bloom: Man, launching that impulsively was probably a bad idea. HOWEVER! I am not giving up on it. I AM going to reconsider how I do it - style-wise, colour-wise, and how it's released - so there WILL eventually be an update of some sort for it. The characters are still dear to me and there's still a story there that I want to tell, I just need to have a bit of a reshuffle.

In other news: did you know I take commissions? I take commissions. Info on that can be found on tumblr: http://ghostmoor.tumblr.com/post/130340534437/some-additional-things-you-should-know-i-will and for those of you who're into adoptable character designs, I currently have a couple of cute kitties available: http://ghostmoor.tumblr.com/post/148413727882/felt-like-noodlin-about-with-adoptable-designs

Thanks for reading, thanks for sticking with me during the long comics break, and thanks for any and all support in general! (If you don't want to or aren't able to commission me or nab one of those adoptables, reblogging/sharing the info around anyway would be super helpful.)

I finally stopped getting an error when I try to update Checkmate, so updates will resume as normal here this weekend! (I've actually missed a few updates, so it will be page 7 that goes up on Saturday, along with page 6 which I couldn't upload in March).

Hey y'all, Tapastic is being temperamental and won't let me upload the next page. I'll keep trying, but in the mean time, you can read it on Tumblr! http://checkmatecomic.tumblr.com/

Hey folks, just a little note to say there will not be Checkmate updates for the next two weeks. I'm going to be away from home from this Thursday til next Friday, which means I won't have computer access, and for the sake of maintaining my Patreon page buffer, I've decided not to update this week or next.

Thank you everyone for all the views, likes and subscriptions so far btw! I'm glad you're all enjoying :)
