Comic 1346 - Progress Update
Author Notes:
But today, let me give y'all a little update!
With the exception of the Summer Emily pic (and one other thing I'll talk about at a later date) I haven't been drawing much of anything in the last month or so. I've spent a lot of my work time writing instead. I'd had basic outlines of what happens in the coming chapters for a while, but it was finally time to write the scripts themselves. So, Chapter 42 and 43 are now fully written out (and I will neither confirm nor deny whether that's everything or not). ;P
This is actually fantastic progress and I'm pretty darn happy with everything I've got right now. I'd like to get back to drawing pages this week, but a good chunk of it may be dedicated to working out some designs for everyone. This is just a little tease, (plus me getting adventurous and playing with shading a little; don't read too much into that for now, though). :)
The original plan was to have the comic return to posting in February/March. I am doing well, but because I want to keep this going at a productive and comfortable rate, I'm at this time aiming more for March. I'll keep you posted for when I can nail down an exact date. (Maybe I'll still try to find a moment for those fillers and Delays when I can. Or maybe I'll just share some more teases!) XD
Until then, I love you all and please take care! ^_^
Grab your tissues as we take a warming trip into the future (and end of the story).
I can't wait, I'm so pumped! Well, maybe I can? I dunno.
Out of curiosity, have you ever considered going back to the earlier pages and cleaning up the art to match the current quality? (Or maybe that's too much work -- that's fair too.)
Thank you so much for creating this comic Jocelyn! It gave me much comfort during hard times and I am very happy that it isn't finished yet. :D
You mentioned that your ageing copy of PS is bugging you sometimes. If you feel in the mood, perhaps you want to take a deeper look at Krita. This is a free and open source drawing program for illustrators and artists. Besides free tutorials there are also several features and add-ons that should be very appealing to comic artists. Perhaps you find this helpful. :)
