Book 9 Thumbnails Complete

Apr 4, 2026

I’ve been working almost daily to get this chapter in a sketchy “stick-figure” form that I can visually see. I knew this chapter was going to be a monster because of the script, but I wasn’t aware how much of a monster until now.

Thumbnails for Book 9

65 pages total (not including the cover and extra pages). Wow, why so much? Lots and lots of action! Action eats pages and I have no regrets. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Here’s a quick preview of the work in progress:

Before getting started I want to create a proper model sheet for Cubbi and maybe even Pascal. They are a major focus in this chapter so I want them to be consistent. After that I can start adding details starting with the first page.

If you have any questions or comments feel free to reach out to me on your favorite communication platform of choice.

A Fresh Look + Chapter 9 Progress

Mar 23, 2026

I just launched a newly redesigned version of the website you’re currently viewing, and I wanted to share a quick update on both the site and the comic.

The goal with the redesign was to give the site a cleaner, more polished presentation, improve the experience on mobile devices, and better match the tone of the comic. I also added a new online shop, where physical copies of The Gummi Way are now available.

On the comic side, Chapter 9 is coming along steadily. The full chapter is already written, but I’m still refining some of the action sequences and visual beats as I work through the pages. This part of the process is always a bit fluid, while the major story moments are locked in, how they play out on the page continues to evolve as I draw.

This chapter leans heavily into Pascal’s training, especially in how he moves and fights within the forest. A lot of the current work has been focused on making those moments feel dynamic and clear, particularly in the training and sparring sequences.

As always, I’ll be releasing the chapter once it’s complete. In the meantime, I’ll be posting works in progress here on the site, as well as on Bluesky and the Discord server.

Thanks for following along and for taking the time to check out the new site!
