Patreon Update!
As some of you know, I've had a Patreon for a while. I haven't advertised it much on here as my presence is largely on Tumblr nowadays. BUT! Just so everyone here knows, I have a patreon that updates weekly at any subscription value.
Every week I do a Work in Progress Wednesday where I post sketches, in-progress shots, and sneak peeks of future book releases and artwork. Then at least once a month, I run a poll for what new fanart I make. Five-dollar patrons get to put forward options that are included in a poll I run on Tumblr (@jenniferstolzer) for what I draw next. The production of the poll's winner gets turned into a time-lapse video (that patrons get early access to) and a real-time video that patrons get exclusively!

No b6 page this week. I had to take a sick day bc of light senistive migraines. Im wondering if going forward i should take one week off a month to maybe try to get ahead so i have banked pages. All previous efforts to bank pages have failed so i may just keep doing what im doing. At least it gets pages out mostly regularly.
B6 Page Delayed for today
Hi everyone. I was at Archon all weekend so the Oct 4 page of the webcomic will be delayed to next week! See you then!
Updated Patreon Tiers
I don't advertise it very much but I have a patreon (www.patreon.com/jenniferstolze…)! It's mostly to help me afford my art-related materials and fees.
The main incentive of the patreon is behind-the-scene content! Even S1 a month gets you access to images like you see below; in-process shots and alternate versions of artworks that end up posted here on deviantart and on tumblr. This includes the Babylon 6 comic that I run. So if you have an extra buck lying around and are interested in what art looks like before it's done, or just in supporting me in my art in general, have a look at my patreon!
Arti tagged me in this OC meme and chose my Babylon 5 OC G'Tole! G'Tole has been neglected for FAR too long! Thanks for bringing him back to my attention!
Rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. Post 8 facts about your character.
3. Tag 8 other people; post their avatars & write their oc’s names next to them.
Facts about G'Tole
1, G'Tole is the oldest son of Narn Ambassadors Na'Toth and Ta'Lon who met up and became mates in my sequel fanfic I haven't written yet >< G'Tole is the oldest of five children the two Narns have together while living on Minbar.
2, G'Tole was born as Tallum, but took the name G'Tole as an adult after studying the books of G'Kar. Having been raised to brood age in a multicultural society and taught the values of peace and diplomacy by his parents, he responded to G'Kar's calls of tolerance and understanding with great passion and renamed himself G'Tole when he chose G'Kar as his prophet. (The Tole portion is after his father who he also has great respect for)
3, Ta'Lon and Emperor Cotto have maintained a close friendship in the time after Babylon 5, and G'Tole has visited Centauri Prime often as a child which is where he met the princess Lonnah and causes all sorts of trouble on the royal grounds. Lonnah was older than him, and bossed him around a lot, but he thought she was super cool and nursed a secret crush on her through brood and into his military years.
4, G'Tole inherited the gentle loyalty of his father and the fierce duty of his mother, which naturally inclined him to becoming a soldier. He is specifically a ground-pounder but learned to fly fighters and man armaments in academy.
5, Thankfully G'Tole's time in the service was during a rare peace, so he didn't see a lot of weaponized action and has never been in an actual shooting war. As a result his career grew quickly boring, and because of his early exposure to languages including Centauri and interlac, he decided to specialize in cipher and translation and was chosen to return to the ISA headquarters on Minbar as part of a Narn military liason which is where he runs back into Lonnah.
6, G'Tole and Lonnah started dating soon after he transferred. G'Tole made the first move. It was halting at first, since Lonnah (being royalty) never considered dating out of the noble classes, let alone out of her species, but it's G'Tole's gentle side that won her over.
7, G'Tole is protective of Lonnah, but quietly the more sensitive of the two, and the scrutiny the two get weighs heavy on him in spite of the confidence he has in his feelings toward the princess. In these times of weakness he finds comfort in Lonnah's steel nerve and refusal to take shit from anyone age, rank, or race be damned.
8, G'Tole really wants to have a family and pass on the lessons he's learned to enrich his people. In Narn society (this is fanon) having children with your mate is a way to solidify a loving relationship, as well, and it hurts G'Tole that he and Lonnah will never experience that together.
That was fun! I gotta write that fanfic sometime.
I'll come back and tag people later.
