About

Hi there, I'm Ben, and I create the webcomic Derelict. I'm a freelance illustrator trying to make the move to working on my projects full time.

The Comic

Derelict is an ongoing webcomic about a flooded world inhabited by strange monsters. It largely follows the adventures of a lone scavenger simply trying to get by in a dangerous environment, while in the background the world and its remaining people try to adapt to life after an apocalypse.

Derelict is currently on its second book, and can be read for free online here. The first page is here.

The Funding

I'm a freelance illustrator, but I'm trying to make the move to working for myself full-time. This would mean more time to work on and refine the comic, in an environment with much less stress. It would also allow the creation of more bonus content and other projects.

The goal of this Patreon is to help supplement my income, if not make the switch to working on my own projects full time.

-Physical Goods. At the end of every month you pledge this I will mail you a physical Derelict-related piece of art (singed, if possible). Sometimes these items will be Patreon exclusive, sometimes not. They might be post cards, posters, pins, or hand-drawn sketches - maybe (usually) multiple things at once. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS FOR THE UNITED STATES ONLY! Sorry, but international shipping prices and options are too prohibitive.
