It's been a while since my last upload but there's some good reasons for it :^}c
Can't see the images or characters? Get authorized through a pledge to my Patreon or a 1-time $15 donation to my Ko-Fi!
Also, I'm not 100% on this, but I believe Toyhouse might not show you my images if you click on them in your inbox. If you want to ever see all my new pieces go to my art tab. I think this just happens because I have my work hidden to un-authorized viewers, and Toyhouse tends to treat inboxes with mixed authorization (seeing thumbnails but not images you have permission to see unless viewing in a character's gallery or art tab, blah)
But for the news - I've been working less on concept art and more on pages! I have 17 finished pages of Sun Sprain in my files and about 10 more sketched out and waiting for their lines/color. 18 may not sound like a lot but for me it's exciting and a big landmark for me, especially seeing as this is, visually, my most detailed comic to date. I've posted a few snippets of pages today that I hope you'll enjoy the feel of :^} Patrons have been getting to see some extra ones.
Another big note is how I'm going to be sharing the comic. I discussed this with friends and Patrons and myself, and I believe I'm ready to set this in stone. This is mostly copy-pasted from my Patreon but it gets the point across.
| If I'm being realistic, I can't finish this comic in the way I want and still have it out before 2023. I think instead it might be easier on me (and maybe more fun to read?) if I release it in parts. Here's my basic run-down: Finishing a large "chapter" with maybe 3-4 scenes in it would mean a release. The rest would follow: 1. First scene to Patreon for early reading about a week/half week before uploading off-Patreon begins. 2a. Full "chapter" to Patreon for early reading, along with thank-you page for Patrons still pledging upon release. 2b. Posting one to two pages every few days on Instagram and Deviantart. 3. Once the full chapter has been uploaded on social media, the entire chapter will be posted to my website where it will stay permanently free-to-read and easy to access. This schedule will help me break this story up so it's not so daunting, and I think it'll be fun to have my story release bit by bit on social media for those who enjoy a more daily-comic experience :^} And for those who prefer chunks, Patreon and my site will be around. |
Basically splitting the story up so you get to see it sooner and in parts! It's killing me to not share my work with all of you but I know I can't rush this story out, so I figured this was a good way to go about it.
I have to work on a few more pages before I can get a feasible release date announced, but I'm hoping to get an idea of when that'll be soon. 2022 is nearing it's end and I'd love to have something to show for it.
Thank you all for bein here, I hope you enjoy today's update :^} Also, for any of you who've been enjoying my soundtracks, I added Beat and Brad's playlists to the Sun Sprain soundtrack page. It just has songs I associate with them / think they'd like.
See ya!!!!
