Yesterday’s Curse of the Eel update! Also I’ll be at SC Comicon on April 6-7th!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A pair of Judai! Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well and your weekend is off to a great start. Here's another Eel update, as well as a reminder that April 6-7th, I'll be at SC Comicon in the artist alley! I'll be selling books, prints, and doing commissions so if you're in the Greenville, SC area please come by and say hello! I don't know what my table number is yet, but I'll let you know when I know.
Also, if you want to further support my comic projects, head on over to my Patreon and see the various tiers! https://www.patreon.com/jorgesantiagojr Even just a dollar a month means a lot and can help me focus on my stories like Curse of the Eel and rely less on freelance projects. I've been posting regularly, including advance pencils and inks of Curse of the Eel as well as my newest story, Honor Bound, which is a queer dark fantasy comic! I'll do a separate post on that another time to showcase the story, but we'll keep this about Eel for now.
As always, thank you for reading and supporting the comic over the last decade! I never thought we'd hit 1 Million Views, but it's already flown past that, and we're coming up on 100K likes! Please keep the likes, follows, and shares coming, so we can grow the base of the comic as it heads to it's climax! Thank you everyone for reading, and have a great day!

Yesterday’s Curse of the Eel update!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don't remind me. Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well, here's another page of Curse of the Eel, where the planning continues. A quick note, I'm really happy with how that first panel's bg turned out; I think the clouds came out how I pictured them.
A few quick notes everyone: April 6-7th, I'll be tabling at SCComicon in Greenville, SC! I don't have my booth number yet, but I'll post that up when I have it.
Also, I've set up a Patreon where I've been sharing early looks at my pages, going into my comic making process, and posting up art I don't plan to share elsewhere! Even just a dollar a month helps support the comic, and I would greatly appreciate it as every little bit helps me make more pages. You can check out the tiers here: https://www.patreon.com/jorgesantiagojr
Thank you everyone for reading, and have a great rest of your weekend!

Today’s Curse of the Eel update!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Why do I feel it now?! Hello everyone, welcome to page two of chapter 21! This last week I finished the planning for this chapter, and I've penciled a bunch of pages so it's been a good week. Once this chapter is complete, I can compile this into volume 4 of Curse of the Eel, which I'll hopefully have ready in a month or so! Stay tuned for updates!
Thank you everyone for your support! I've been going through older pages to reference for this chapter and your comments have been filling my soul with energy, so thank you for your interest in this goofy horror comic.
Also, I started a Patreon earlier this year as a way to help fund Curse of the Eel and my other self-published works! https://www.patreon.com/jorgesantiagojr If you're interested in sending me a monthly donation, you'll get early access to pages before they go live, as well as sneak peaks at comics and a look into my comic making process. Let me know if you have any questions about the Patreon or anything and I'd be happy to answer!
Take care everyone, I wish you a fantastic day!

Yesterday’s Curse of the Eel update!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Molto delizioso! Hello everyone and welcome to the first page of chapter 21 of Curse of the Eel! D&D time is over, but it's never too late for a pizza break. We're in another flashback prior to the attack on the school, so let's enjoy these precious moments.
If you're enjoying Curse of the Eel and want to support my comics, and get early access to Eel pages and my other comics, please consider contributing to my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jorgesantiagojr
Every dollar helps me create these comics, so if you can spare the money, consider joining the Patreon, where I'll also share my thought process on making comics, and some of the design ideas for them. In a recent post, I discussed why the Eel covers look like this, and what the different sections represent.
Thank you everyone for reading and for being patient while I was stockpiling pages! I hope you all will enjoy Eel enjoying Pizza, and the rest of chapter 21 as it gets uploaded!

Today’s Curse of the Eel update!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Twas good fun! Hello everyone, the D&D game has ended for now, and soon we'll return to the madness of the main story. Thank you for hanging in with these updates as I tried to recreate my backlog of pages. It was a good break, even though I was still updating through it, so maybe it wasn't much of one. Anyhow, next week chapter 21 begins, I hope you're all looking forward to it!
Also, please check out my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/jorgesantiagojr! I'm sharing my page process and advance pages of Curse of the Eel as well as my newest comic Honor Bound! Every dollar helps and your support will help me continue to make more comics and deliver them to you! Thank you for your support as always, and have a great weekend!

Yesterday’s Curse of the Eel update, and announcing my Patreon! Check out the tiers and my next comic, a fantasy romance called Honor Bound!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, turn's over. Hello everyone, here's another D&D spotlight, this time on Tormentia and how she casts her spells. Next week, Frank will be put in the spotlight of the game!
Also a quick announcement, I'm revitalizing my Patreon! 2023 was so hard because I was focusing so much on creating art for clients, but I want to redouble my efforts towards working mainly on my own stories like Curse of the Eel and more. With that in mind, I've set up the Patreon and have already made some posts for you to check out, including my new comic story, Honor Bound, which will be exclusive to Patreon until it's completed. If you can support me I would be immensely grateful, and you'll get weekly updates on my stories, including early looks at pages for Curse of the Eel! Every little bit helps, even if it's only $1 a month! And to reiterate, Eel will continue the posting it has online, I'm not putting it behind a paywall. The Patreon will give you early looks at the pages, but they'll always get uploaded to Tapas and Tumblr as before.
Honor Bound is a romance/fantasy story with a little bit of horror splashed in (shocking!). The story is about Zheng, a young squire who is attempting to return to the man they love after suffering a great loss on the battlefield. Zheng made a promise, and not even bandits, knights, nor a mysterious witch will keep Zheng from returning to their love, Rayner. This is my first attempt at a full on romance, but if you like Dungeons and Dragons, eldritch horror, and some queer love, I think you'll enjoy Honor Bound! I may post up some sneak peeks on here, but I've talked enough for now. Thank you everyone for your time and your support of me and my comics, I can't tell you how often I would look through past pages comments to remind myself that these stories matter. Have a great weekend!!

Last weeks Curse of the Eel update with 100% more dumb D&D jokes
Tumblr media
Pish Posh! Hey everyone, here's another fun page showing some ups and downs in the life (lives?) of Gnome Bard, Eggon Toast. I am working on new pages, I've just had some junk come up in my work and personal life that is taking a bit more priority. I promise I have chapter 21 in the works and it'll come soon, but I may keep the D&D bits coming for another week or so because they are really cathartic to draw while I deal with some annoying stuff.
Thank you everyone for your patience, and I hope you're all doing well and continue to do well!

Hello everyone, here's a drawing of the kids playing a game as they and I take a bit of a break this week. I'm still planning out chapter 21, but it should be coming soon. I finally hit a wave of inspiration, but to leave you all with something, here is a drawing of something that may have happened before the Homecoming event.
I may actually draw more from their campaign, that seems like a fun thing to play around with. And of course Connie would play a demonic witch xD She's basic and based. Eel's character is probably the best one though.

I'm reading an advance copy of @erinmevans Erin M. Evan's next book, Relics of Ruin, and I love it so far! These are sketches I've done while reading it, with more to come! If you haven't read Empire of Exiles, I really recommend it. It's an original fantasy world with a gripping mystery, great characters, and a really intriguing threat that keeps you guessing.
For those of you who are D&D fans, Erin was the creator of the Brimstone Angels books set in the Forgotten Realms. Those books are also fantastic too, and I'm loving Erin's newer works where she's making really vibrant and diverse peoples and cultures. I want to know more about everyone, especially so I can draw them.
Empire of Exiles came out in 2022, and Relics is out later this year, so if you haven't had a chance to read it, pick it up!

Today’s Curse of the Eel update!
Tumblr media
death…Hello everyone, I hope you're having a great start to your weekend. Frank is a little out of commission, but it looks like Connie is coming to help him, right?This ends chapter 20, with 21 coming up soon.
Just as a notice, I'm working on a bunch of things at the moment, and I'm hoping to have the first page of chapter 21 next week, but depending on how it goes, I may need to push it back a week. Hopefully there won't be any interruptions, but I'm a bit behind on Eel with all of the things on my plate at the moment.
Thank you as always for reading everyone, we're 20 chapters in with more to come! The comic is in the homestretch, I hope you're excited to see the end. Take care of yourselves and have a good week!
