The making of a comic page. This is page four of “Sistrenday”, an eight-page comic pilot that our artist completed recently for writer Mikael Lopez. In 2016, Lopez and our artist collaborated on the short piece “David Loses His Head”, published in Sliced Quarterly and praised in Broken Frontier this year. “Sistrenday” is an ambitious new step in their partnership; and, with luck, it will mark the beginning of a lengthy new series. In order, the steps pictured above are: Completed ...| still eating oranges
Galahad and the Far-Off Horizon’s Kickstarter campaign is over. In the end, an incredible 437 people rocketed the project to $10,149–a number that floors all of us behind the scenes. We cannot thank everyone enough for backing and sharing, and for the countless kind words they had for the Galahad team throughout the campaign. These comics will soon be in the world; and we at Still Eating Oranges are overjoyed, and beyond grateful, to see it happen. Years of love went into the production o...| still eating oranges
The campaign is funded. Yesterday evening, Galahad and the Far-Off Horizon reached $8,000–and almost two years worth of dreams reached their fulfillment. More than 350 people have rallied to make this book real, and we cannot wait for them to read it. We offer thanks to every single supporter. Four days remain in the campaign, however; and there are stretch goals within range. At $8,500, every backer of the physical reward tiers receives, automatically and free of charge, a mini-poster by t...| still eating oranges

As of this writing, 196 people have backed the project–a huge show of support, and an incredible encouragement to everyone involved with Galahad. More ground remains to be covered; but we enter the second week hopeful, and grateful. Hansel Moreno, the mastermind behind the anthology, has added several new reward tiers since the campaign’s launch. The latest appeared yesterday: a ...| still eating oranges

The Kickstarter campaign, almost two years in the making, is here. Galahad and the Far-Off Horizon is now seeking backers to fund its printing and shipping costs, and even the lowest reward tier offers a copy of the book. For the moment, softcover print editions ship only in the United States, but a digital edition is available for international backers. Each interlocking story within Galahad and the Far-Off Horizon was penned by the great Hansel Moreno and drawn by a talented artist. The 130...| still eating oranges
After a few setbacks, the artworks are now public. Above: the Steam trading card and profile background illustrations created by our artist for Ohr, Rail Slave Games’ newest release. Like the game’s cover, which we unveiled last year, these pieces are experiments in digital collage and “net-art” causticity. Each one depicts a character from Ohr as envisioned by our artist, who enjoyed near-total creative freedom throughout the project. Our artist’s behind-the-scenes descriptions of ...| still eating oranges
Two weeks and change ago, our artist was hired by Technocrat Games to design the lead character for their latest point-and-click adventure game–working title Judgement Effect. The character’s name is Andi; and, above, readers may find the design and turnaround that our artist created for her. While public details are scant regarding this new Technocrat project, we can confirm that it will use 3D graphics, and that Andi was conceived with 3D modeling in mind. We thank Technocrat Games for ...| still eating oranges

Since Xalavier Nelson, Jr. launched his game SCREW YOU, BEAR DAD! last October, its success has been astounding. Previously we mentioned the game’s front-page feature on Rock, Paper, Shotgun; but recently we learned that PC Gamer, both in print and online, singled out BEAR DAD for praise. To quote the magazine’s Christmas 2016 issue: The title implies silliness, jokes, light-hearted humour – and the game delivers on all that, but also weaves in a story of difficult father-son relationsh...| still eating oranges

UPDATE:The Kickstarter campaign is now live! As a Christmas gift: the first ten pages of The Garden of Galahad, a 49-page comic written by Hansel Moreno (@hanselthelost) and drawn by our artist. It tells the story of Galahad, a suit of armor brought to life by the retired knight Lance. Created to be a farmhand, Galahad is a gentle soul who adores the natural world–and this love, in the course of events, drives him on a long journey across the land. One character not shown in these ten pages...| still eating oranges
Late last month, our artist was contacted by Rail Slave Games–a developer we have discussed in the past–with a job offer. It has been one year since the company’s last game, את; and, at last, a new release is on the horizon. The game is Ohr, a bizarre side-scroller that somehow involves cows, cassette tapes, evil businessmen and an anthropomorphic giraffe. Our artist has been occupied entirely with The Garden of Galahadsince September, after dropping all side-projects for the final pu...| still eating oranges
A page from The Garden of Galahad, the upcoming comic illustrated by our artist and written by Hansel Moreno (@hanselthelost).

In mid-July, our artist was hired to create the cover for SCREW YOU, BEAR DAD, an upcoming interactive fiction game by the great Xalavier Nelson, Jr. (@WritNelson). Nelson is most famous as a games journalist; but, beginning with All Hail the Spider God earlier this year, he has changed his focus to development. By Nelson’s own account, SCREW YOU, BEAR DAD is “a short, weird (and people tell me, funny) thing about choosing to enjoy life despite not knowing your immediate future.” It als...| still eating oranges
