Placeholder Image Placeholder Image Placeholder Image After I'd purchased the leftoversoup.com domain name, but before the comic itself was ready, I put up a page that would rotate these three images at random.


Jamie Concept Ellen Concept Max Concept These are the original concept sketches for the core three characters of the series. These characters just sort of came out of my pencil fully formed, even before I knew what I wanted to use them for. There have been some visual changes since - Jamie became lefthanded, and I allowed Max's eyebrows to pop over her hairline - but they're still essentially the same characters that popped out originally.


Milendra Frostwind This is the first donation incentive image I did, a picture of Ellen's thoroughly ridiculous D&D character, Milendra Frostwind, first referenced here. For those of you who are familiar with 3.5, she's an Eberronnian half-elf (Eberron Campaign Setting, page 15) with the half-dragon (Monster Manual I, page 214, using the radiant dragon, from the Draconomicon, page 185), half-celestial (Monster Manual I, page 213), and half-nymph (Dragon Magazine #313, page 95) templates applied, and she's a crossclassed ninja (Complete Adventurer, page 5) psion (Expanded Psionics Handbook, page 19) paladin of freedom (Unearthed Arcana, page 53).


DMFA-style Back when I had about ninety Twitter followers, I promised that I'd do a free art request for my 100th follower (this probably would have had a greater effect if I'd posted it somewhere other than Twitter itself). My 100th Twitter follower turned out to be a spambot, and @Simmifugl had called dibs, so I gave it to him. He requested a shot of the core three characters as characters from my wife's comic.


Pirates! I held a contest in my forum, to see who could derive the floorplan of Ellen and Jamie's apartment from only the information presented in the comic. Faithful forumite "doctor100" got the closest, and he requested a picture of Ellen and Max dressed as pirates.


Custom Piece Instructions This was the first half of the second donation incentive - Jamie explaining how to make custom board game pieces on the cheap. This is the method I've developed over the years...


Shoulder Angels This was the first half of the third donation incentive: Ellen and Wallace, dressed as an angel and devil, sitting on Jamie's shoulders, as mentioned in this strip.


D&D Party This was the first half of the fourth donation incentive: A group shot of the D&D party, looking particularly epic.


Max as Michaelangelo Jamie as a Viking Ellen as a Creeper These were sketches I did around Halloween: Max as ninja turtle, Jamie as a nondescript viking, and Ellen as a Minecraft creeper.


Pixellated This is a shot of the main cast, done in Diesel Sweeties style.


Ornaments Sojourney became my 200th follower in December so I did a shot of the core cast in a Christmas picture for her. She's a kickass colour-type-person, so I gave her the hi-rez lineart - her version of the picture is here.


But I would rather be reading Leftover Soup! It's a little known fact that, on the Dinosaur Comics website, you can alter the URL with the querystring "butiwouldratherbereading" to change the template of the comic. This is a Leftover Soup-themed butiwouldratherbereading template!


Year One This is a pic of my core three characters dancing, in celebration of Leftover Soup's first year anniversary! It was the first half of the fifth donation incentive.


Maxine Hellenberger, friend to all animals This is a quick sketch of Maxine Hellenberger, friend to all animals!


Cast at the beach A sketch of the Core Three hanging out at the beach.


Max's favourite joke This was the sixth donation incentive - Max, telling her favourite joke.


This is how you suck a dick. A nice little picture of Max and Gina.


Sexy Sporty Max! Paula Gonzalez (a.k.a. PGA99) became my 300th Twitter follower, and she requested a picture of "sporty-sexy Max".


Chicken Soup This is the first half of the seventh donation incentive - a nice recipe for chicken soup.


Sierra Bravo Delta This is the eighth donation incentive - a brief, but canonical interlude with Jamie and Ellen.


Warlock Rap This is the ninth donation incentive - Ellen, introducing her tiefling warlock to the gaming group, immediately after Max introduced her "halfling fighter".


Teens! This is the tenth donation incentive, a noncanon shot of the main cast as they would have appeared nine years ago, when Jamie was thirteen and Ellen and Max were both fifteen.


Max and her lovers This is a shot of Max with all her lovers.


Use Knitting for Evil This is the eleventh donation incentive, a piece I have chosen to call "Use Knitting For Evil".

NSFW

Dancing! This was the second half of the second donation incentive - Ellen dancing around without a shirt on. I tried to keep the form realistic for Ellen's body type.


Salsa! This was the first half of the second half of the third donation incentive - a noncanon comic featuring Max and some salsa. (The second half of the second half of the third donation incentive was drawn by my wife, and is therefore over here.)


Doing the boyfriend thing This was the second half of the fourth donation incentive: the aftermath of this storyline, after which Trent says he's going to help Max drown her sorrows in "other activities" (i.e., boning).


Alt 151 Alt 152 Here's the NSFW half of the fifth donation incentive - an alternate universe version of the events of strip #151, if Jamie had been a little more responsive to Max's charms. Because I got $100 total for it, I extended it to two comics (but no further).


Ellen in lingerie This is a quick sketch I did of Ellen in some lingerie. There's no actual nudity, but I'm throwing it in the NSFW section anyway, just in case.


Lily, nude. A sketch of Lily Hammerschmidt in the nude.


Max's magic trick A quick little comic of Max, performing her favourite magic trick!


Thinking about thinking about thinking. I think this one is cute, and it illustrates the relationship between Max and Gina pretty well.


Cheek to cheek I drew this as my entry for a collection of butt-related material, but it didn't make the cut. I like it anyway.


Chicken Soup This is the second half of the seventh donation incentive - a version of strip #255 without the speech bubbles or the cameo appearance. (And yes, that tattoo is canon.)
