Order to Hate
Trying to improve the art in a few ways. Hoping everything turns out all right, and sorry about the late update, I’m getting ready to move, so time has been pretty tight on all fronts.
One thing I try to do in Scout is give you the best page I can possibly do, and try to push myself art wise further than the last. There are things I need to improve on, like certain character angles, overhead shots, and many other things. I also want to improve the amount of time for updates, too. I’ve even considered black and white strips. Sometimes I feel that would be counter productive to creating something worthy that you all can enjoy. You all deserve that.
God, I love Ruggles, and his sass.
I’ve also been thinking since I do ink in these pages from time to time… would people actually be interested in buying an original art page? What would I charge? … 20 bucks?
Loving the new hair styles, especially Ruggles’s new hair due. :3
Then you’ll love the next post which has gallons of more Ruggles in it. Glad you like everything 🙂
Ahh Ruggles. He’s nothing if not dependable.
You can’t know how excited i was when I saw Scout had updated. I love the art and the story and i can’t wait to see where both go. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the kind words 🙂 I love working on this comic.
Oh man ive been waiting for this… your the best Scott! !!
Sorry you had to wait a few weeks, I’ll get the next page up much sooner, I promise 🙂
I forgot to to add… yes I would pay 20$ for an original. ( Hell maybe even more)
Update =D thanks ^-^
No need for thanks, happy I can deliver 🙂
ALL THE HATE. love it.
I would definitely pay 20$ or more for your art. You’re the only reason I backed the Destined Legends Kickstarter! Your art is amazing…
I like how you broke the frame. Seems your art and style is getting better and better.
It might just be me, But every time Ruggles speaks, I hear Ewan McGregor.
Anyone else?
My dear Scotticus, I must say you are turning me into a gutterslut for your art. I can’t even be bothered to care about the time it takes you to upload for this because it makes the art that much more satisfying. To see how far you have gone from the beginning to now is astonishing. More astonishing than a tiger shark fighting a grizzly bear.
All that.
We need a wallpaper of the last panel!
This is by and far, my favourite webcomic. Your art is just gorgeous and it always improves. Keep up the hard work! I’ll be reading this years down the road!
Is it just me, or does Finn seem to be acting a little… different? Though I guess it would be interesting to hear their side of the story. But “some of them’ is not ‘all of them’
Wait a minute…..why does Ruggles all of a sudden look and remind me of maybe possibly a younger Mr. Mills?
One that’s a little bitch. Is that even possible?
“It was just a phase….”
In the last pages, I sometimes thought their hair styles all looked kind of similar – now, you have succeeded in making them more different.
Please stick to colouring your art – it’s very beautiful and atmospheric!
And I guess, you could charge more for your original art…
(Btw., If the strip with the ‘please stop living’ sign still exists in original, I’d buy it right away!)
I’ve been reading your comic for a while now, but still I don’t quite get the world, the story… and what you’re aiming at – but I somehow love it and will keep on reading! =)
Thanks for your storytelling and drawing!
…..you sir need to talk to some movie people…..i would watch the hell out of this in movie form.
I’m naming my first born son Ruggles.
Why would you curse your son to a life of servitude.
“It was just a phase…..”
I love the new art direction!. Finn looks amazing.
That Anamanaguchi poster
What happened to Finn’s bloody chest wound he received from Dillinger? If he and his clothes have that kinda healing power, Finn can take all of them down himself.
The web comic author of Dresden Codak posted about illustration pricelists awhile back. I found it interesting:

I’m in love with Ruggles.
Ruggles is always. And I love the new hairstyles. Great job. Keep it up ^^
It’s clearly a setup. One that I’m completely psyched about. Let’s do this thing.
Also, you continue to do excellent work, Scotticus. On all comics.
your art is drastically improving with every update recently, i had been a long time follower of your series (all of them) and i cant wait to see how you evolve as a storyteller and artist. please keep up the great work!
I think this was the series that got me interested in your comics, glad to see it’s coming along well!
Are you sure Finn and Ruggles aren’t fucking? Tat’s a couple into S&M if ever I saw one.
Never felt the need to comment until now, but I just had to say… the fact that there is an Anamanaguchi poster in this makes me just so happy.
Ruggles looks so young
As far as charging goes, take a look at the comic, Sorcery 101. He charges $50+ for each page and seems to seel them well enough to keep that price point. It’s not nearly as well done or good looking as Scout Crossing. I’d use that as a gauge if I was you.
I have to say, I love everything you’re doing with the art. And you’re improving so much, but Penny’s eyebrows weird me out. She looked so much more natural as a bluehead without the blue eyebrows. Also, I would totally buy an inked page from you!
As much as it pains me to lose a bargain, $20 isn’t high enough. Your both technical and artistic skill are worth more than that. Not sure what I would set the price at personally, though. How about auctioning a few of them off (or all of them, but please don’t because I want to stand a chance to snag one) to see what people are willing to pay?
Also, for those of us who can’t get the original we want, what about selling high-quality prints? I’d definitely be down for that.
Scout’s hair looks really good in the new form, they all do, but he stands out amongst your characters. Keep up the good work!
