Dropping Saturday, March 13th in the shop is the Skully tee and toy combo.
The combo is a limited edition of 75 packs with shirt sizes ranging from small through triple extra large. The resin toys will be packed in shirt orders at random so you could end up with a rare chase toy or the main color way which is an edition of 65.
This is going down at 9pm eastern time in the shop. The last two combo drops have been hits so you won’t want to miss this one.
Price is $35 plus shipping.
This week inspiration struck and we have outlined a five chapter comic! This is wonderful news because it gives me an opportunity to work through some things and hone some techniques right before I begin inking Seven Spirits. For example, I've been experimenting more with using a brush and adding lots of white on top of my inks. It sounds pretty simple but once you start scanning to go digital- things can get a little complicated for me. Being self taught, I am encountering some learning curves.
The webcomic updates will be in strip form and not full multi-panel pages; although you may see the strip break in to more than one panel at times. The story relies heavily on mood and visual effects and there will be little to no dialogue. We'll reference some concepts from previous years, but also have a fresh chance to move forward and establish some firm rules for the world we're building.
Access to comic updates will be available at a basic three dollar membership here. Eventually, down the road there will be print versions of the comic- but Patreon subscribers will be able to see the story before it goes to print.
One difference between Baba Gordia and Seven Spirits is Baba Gordia is heavier on the horror vibes when it comes to blending horror with fantasy. I'll be leaning on graphics harder to efficiently get ideas and points across for story telling since we won't have much if any dialogue; whereas Seven Spirits will be a bit more dialog-driven and not quite so nightmarish.
We start posting comic updates here next week on February 23rd. There will be two comic posts each week. Each chapter is 16 updates which will be approximately 80 strips by the end of chapter five. I've also posted some of my concept sketches here of the witch so you can see her silhouette; so please check that out for an insight into what her figure conceals.
More soon.

We’re slowly getting familiar with what it takes to make fun video content and I’ve got to admit it is pretty exciting. Here is a time-lapse video of our most recent twitch stream. A commission Nick had for a Mars Attacks sketch cover. Our streams usually run about two hours and if you’d like to be notified for out next one, click here to subscribe to Twitch or keep an eye out on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram as we usually announce when we go live. We’d love to have folks to chat to while we work. Enjoy.
Lindsay and I won't be making the trip this year but we are happy to announce our date at Rotofugi rages on. Stay tuned for a full announcement.

This Saturday night we have a drop on tap to ease into the 5th Anniversary festivities.
Melly Mel is a limited edition of 75 with an edition of 12 hand embellished pins. We will be dropping 10 of the hand embellished Mels at random times throughout the day with 2 being included in random orders of the main edition in the evening’s drop.
The throwback slap packs include a few original heavy hitters that are major pillars in the collector base. WuKrang, Nuclear Bart, Glops, Meditation Ghost, Freddy Hand and Brutus come with a rainbow foil Hooch. Each sticker is three inches tall and super durable in the elements.
Main edition drop time for slaps and pins is Saturday July 18th @ 9:15 pm est. Both will be $20 each plus shipping.
Dropping in the webstore Friday evening May 29th at approximately 9pm EST, are these ten micro toy prototypes.
These are prototype colorways for the Patreon toy from May, all are one of a kind color combos, and are about an inch and a half tall. Customarily, prototype pieces are not released or sold, but there were so many of this figure it seemed greedy to keep them all for ourselves.
They’ll be blind bagged and limited one order per person.
