– So I’m one of the finalist nominees for the Stumptown Comics Arts Awards in the Best Webcomic category. It’s an honor to be nominated. For real. Stumptown is the local comic convention that I feel most connected to. I’ve been every year since it started (except the first), I’ve volunteered several times and I’ve had a booth the last two years. Anyway, I’d very much like to win this award, and since it’s a public voting thing I’d appreciate it if you could all help me out. Just go to this address and vote for Modest Medusa in the webcomics category. If you want to vote fro Adrian Wallace in the lettering category, that’d be cool too!
– A whole bunch of Kickstarter packages went in the mail on Saturday and a bunch more are ready to go today. Not quite as many as I had hoped, but I’m all set up to get most of the rest out this week!
– Some more Medusa sketches from Jaymz! I probably wouldn’;t have gotten half as much done this weekend without her help. Thanks!
– Here’s a few more book sketches!
The door is open…
Riku! nooooooo!!!
Haha, that was my first thought reading this page.
The way is shut.
…. It was made by those who are dead.
….. And the dead keep it.
I know I should be focused on the story but…
WOLVERINE MEDUSA. ALL MY YES.
Canon, where’s your typing quirk?
:33< if you insist i can use it, but i always worry that the humans won't take me seriously if i k33p using it.
:33< i'm being incognito. ;33
Oh my there go my feels I just know it.
He never thought just to pull on it.
Go to your room!
I can’t. Apparently my door is one of those inconvenient “Doors of Destiny”. I should really get a new door.
Snikt! Snikt! That Wolverine Medusa is BAD ASS, Jake! I don’t think I saw that one. 🙂
So fear and pain are the key to our world.
Really digging this back story!
Funny moment of translation:
1) Prince/Princess in Russian doesn’t work, for saving this I changed first title to King.
2)Yeld in the Russian language very close to profanity, like Uranus in English
3)What kind of profanity… well, phrase “King of Yeld” in Russian sounds like he is proud owner of tsar-cannon in his pants.
4)Swarm of kids, which were made with giant snake, is like cherry on top.
Ha. Awesome.

…DAT HORSE BUTTOCKS! @o@
Hehe interesting art on this one Jake, are you new to these angles for horse anatomy?
(no offense intended, I couldn’t draw a horse to save my life. o.o’ )
Yeah, I’ve given up on the horse, really. People who can actually draw horses probably just shake their heads when they see this comic.
Naw. We just see it as a style. 😉 Anatomy is only part of the whole—and I think there are waaaaaay more important things that make good art and great comics—like facial expressions, character design and dialog—and story (most important, IMO, for good comics). You have those nailed down fantastically, and the artwork is very enjoyable. Chained Unicorn is awesome, and I love your comic! It started out as just a unique funny story and has transformed into an amazing story that has unique and funny parts. 🙂
Well thanks.
Remember: it’s a monster transformed from a humanoid in a magical land of yeld, not a horse!
Oh, sure. …NOW it opens.
that… is so horrible…why now!?!?!?!?
WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?
(I do love the sketchs/drawings of modest medusa)
Wolverine Medusa is too cute!
