The Harbinger’s Path: PDF “Process” Preview | May 9, 2025

One of the things I was hoping to do ahead of the my self-imposed May 12th Chapter 1 launch date, in addition to the chapter itself, was put together a little digital, web-resolution PDF of it to accompany its launch. Then, I had the thought that it might be fun to include some bonus art in it – either process images, as I do like some of the lineart I did for this chapter, which is easier to see before colors were added. I’m also considering adding some preview images for Chapter 2, which will likely be layout art (very sketchy).

I did a quick draft of the PDF to see how it would look, and I should be able to have it organized by Monday at the same time the chapter is posted. Though, when I was looking through my process files to see what I’d like to add for these extras, I kept thinking of more ideas. I’m thinking it might be nice to add some little notes to some of the artwork – one in particular is one of the earlier pages, which is the one that caused this whole project to snowball into an actual short comic instead of a few one-off pages. I’ll have to look into it more – this weekend. Wish me luck!

Oh! And if you happened to see one of my recent posts before this one, where I was thinking aloud about how to make email updates useful for you – I spent some time and if you’re reading this, you should be seeing a sign-up form for the mailing list below. It is a “soft” launch, as I am also planning on it being “official” alongside the first chapter on Monday – that’s when I’ll have the PDF ready as a little gift for signing up to it.

How does the form below look? Is it subtle enough? Or, is it too much? Should it be after the “recent posts” thumbnails, instead of before? If you have opinions, feel free to let me know here or anywhere. :D

I also think this is unlikely to happen, but if you somehow sign up to it before the PDF is ready, just let me know and I will send you the PDF manually, haha.

Email Updates (Mailing List)

Want to stay updated, but wish there was an easier way to keep up with this site? I've set up an "email updates" or "mailing list" for this very reason. Check it out below!

New sign-ups currently receive a free PDF for The Harbinger's Path Chapter 1, from my Trahearne & Malyck GW2 fan comic. This version is exclusive to this email list, containing bonus art not currently available anywhere else.

I might change the sign-up bonus in the future, so if you're interested in seeing this PDF, consider joining soon!

You can unsubscribe anytime. Your inbox, your rules!

Or, perhaps RSS is more your style? There exists an RSS for this sketchblog, as well as an RSS for comic projects (currently page updates).

My aim is setting up ways to connect that's more stable than the whims of social platforms. If this interests you, consider signing-up.

Either way, take care and I hope to see you again!
