Welcome back to The Thompsonville Tribune! 3 months later...

Yeah sorry about that. Time kinda flew from me a bit. But don't worry, cuz I'm coming back with a vengeance! And a more relaxed schedule. From here on, the tribune will be released every other month.

Now, I know you're probably dying to know what I've been doing for the past 3 months (maybe not lol). Either way, let's dive into that, shall we?

Collabs, Collabs, Collabs!

I've been participating in some pretty cool collaborations, with some even cooler people. A couple of them are still in production and taking submissions, so if you're interested then make sure to check em' out!

The "Loss" Collab

Hosted by @SageIsReal

70+ NG artists put their own creative spin on Ctrl+Alt+Del's "Loss" comic!

Dinosaurs Attack Collab

Hosted by @BlackDingo86NG

Over 50 different trading cards from Topps Dinosaurs Attack series, all redrawn by many talented artists. Submissions are CLOSED, but be sure to keep an eye out for when the full project gets released.

Creature Collab 2023

Hosted by @OneDude20

More than 75 morbidly creative minds have already designed some badass monsters for this year's Creature Collab, and there's still time to join us! The deadline for submissions is August 31st.

Calling All Heroes!

Hosted by @Thetageist & @totally-inkish

A kick-ass trading card collab, starring heroes and villains created by various artists! The plan is to get some cards for Season 1 done by August 31st and then get physical cards printed off. A Kickstarter is coming soon, so be sure to back the project if you wanna see this awesome card game come to life!

Website Overhaul

The website is still underway and is mostly finished! Its current features include:

• Comics page (shown above)
• About page, with basic synopsis of the series
• Galleries (Portfolio & FanArt)

The site still requires:

• Mobile Compatability
• SEO settings
• New banner & background
• Some more graphics

ETA on the site completion is still unknown. I don't want to make anything set in stone yet, cuz we all know how I am with deadlines on my own projects...

Hollow Grounds Thread exceeds 1,000 views!!!

I checked the Hollow Grounds art thread yesterday, and saw it just reached over 1,000 views! Thanks to everyone who gave this lil side project a look-see and special thanks to those who gave me their awesome requests! Speaking of which, requests are still open if you wanna send me one. I still got 2 left to finish up. After that, if things are slow, I'll prolly do some fanart of people's characters. I already got a few cool ones in mind...

Other Projects

The Hunter's Handbook

The Handbook is (of course) still in the works. No ETA yet. I already have a page set up for it on the website, so once that's finished, you'll be able to read the pages I do have done.

Def Refs

I'm also working on more definitive reference sheets for my main characters (Mason, Rogers, Damascus, and Vortox). Each sheet will have 3 different parts: An overview, a turn-around, and a doodle dump. You can find these sheets as I complete them on my ref sheet playlist.

Comic Strip Remasters

2 years ago, I made my first Hollow Hunters comic strip. This year, I'll be giving it a fresh coat of paint! The rest of the comic strips will soon follow suit.

Recent Works

That's all for this issue! If you got any questions or are just curious about something, let me know, and I'll answer them as soon as I can. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and have a good day!
