At long last, Fredrikus the webcomic is released into the world!
Debuting today is the cover to the first issue and the opening page, which you can read on-line for free by going here. (Refresh your browser if you’ve visited before.)
Also released are the Fredrikus tiers on Patreon, which I talked about here.
Both platforms treat you to the comic on a weekly schedule. (The Patreon version, which includes bonus material, airs Thursdays; the regular version airs Fridays).
Follow the story of an anthropomorphic dog in a dystopian sci-fi world. Find out his quirks. Learn about his work. Read about his life.
This morning, I set up new Fredrikus tiers on Patreon and uploaded the cover and opening page to the comic both to the public Fredrikus site and to Patreon (where you get to read the comic a day early and get access to bonus material only available to patrons and the published editions). Patreon’s airing of the strip is every Thursday; general public version of the strip airs every Friday.
The new tier levels are two and they are broken down below:
Serial Webcomics
For $1, you get access to the FREDRIKUS comic strip and its bonus material (bonus material exclusive to Patreon and the published editions). Updates weekly (Thursdays) and you get it a day before the general public.
Regular Patreon-only blog posts, which include video.
Serial Comics, Novels, and Essays
For $3, you get complete access to the FREDRIKUS comic strip and its bonus material (bonus material exclusive to Patreon and the published editions). Updates weekly (Thursdays) and you get it a day before the general public.
Both serial novels.
Patreon-only essay blog posts.
Regular Patreon-only blog posts, which include video.
That’s quite a lot of content for a very good deal so please consider joining my Patreon journey and be treated to ongoing stories and patron-only material on a regular basis.
Thank you in advance for your support of these new Fredrikus Patreon tiers. Hope you guys dig the comic when it debuts along with the new serial novel, which starts airing next week! (Announcement soon.)
Just uploaded a penciled and inked page of Fredrikus to the Behind the Scenes tier on Patreon.
By becoming a patron, you get access to looks at projects before anyone else and in a way that is typically not shown via my other online channels. The Behind the Scenes tier also gets you access to the serial novel, essays on the creative life (along with helpful tips), and, soon, the special version of the upcoming Fredrikuswebcomic, which contains bonus material that won’t be available elsewhere online. Oh, and you also get a nifty Official Canister X membership card only available at this tier level and up.
We are doing computer work today because we have deadlines. Priority one is Web stuff.
Book and Comic Production Season starts this week and will run for a while as we get to work bringing you some things we’ve been working on since I’ve been back.
On Friday, May 15, I will be launching my serial webcomic, Fredrikus.
This strip has been a long time in the making and the character has been with me since before I started in this business. Exciting times, and you’re invited on the journey.
The strip will air at a frequency of one episode per week. It is free and will air every Friday on the Fredrikuswebsite.
Also launching next week is the FredrikusPatreon tier, which gets you access to the comic a day early and bonus material only available to patrons (and in the eventual published collected edition).
Almost there!
In the meantime, feel free to drop me a line with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.
Two nights ago I had a migraine episode, my first one in 9 months. In short, it knocked me down and kept me there until it was done. Yesterday, I took the day off to deal with what was basically a migraine hangover. We are back in the chair today and just worked on Part Two of my two-part article series on what to do if you feel your career in the arts is sinking. This article will air shortly on Patreon.
That draft of the article was today’s main task.
In terms of how I feel, much better today. Let’s see what’s next.
This morning, I uploaded the final chapter of Gigantigator Death Machine to Patreon. The story is complete and will later be published in novel form along with its sequels.
The new serial novel to air will be announced here soon.
Thank you to everyone who joined me on my Patreon Gigantigator Death Machine journey. It was a fun experience and I look forward to bringing you the next serial novel in two weeks’ time.
Gigantigator Death Machine will remain in the Patreon archives going forward so it will always be accessible for present and future patrons.
For just a buck, you can now read the book in its entirety and you can do so by going here.
Once again, I got myself lost on the red planet of Mars, but thought I’d give you an update anyway. Watch the video to find out where things are at with my upcoming webcomic, Fredrikus, as well as the final chapter of Gigantigator Death Machine for Patreon, and more.
Be sure to like and subscribe! More videos on the way!
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions.
After this cover is inked, all ready pages of Fredrikus will be scanned into the computer to be colored and assembled into a comic book for both on-line and off-line enjoyment.
Also note a new month starts today on Patreon. We have one more chapter of Gigantigator Death Machine to air and then it’ll be time for the new serial novel, which will be announced fairly soon. Just a buck gets you access to Gigantigator Death Machine and the new serial novel. That’s two books for one bean a month. Join the journey by going here. Hope to see you there.
Lastly, and as always, feel free to drop me a note any time.
