SO- uh.... there's a lot to catch up on huh? Lemme break this down into little sections.
1. I'll be leaving hiveworks. I'm sure yall have seen some inklings of things happening with other creators and basically I'm joining the bandwagon and leaving. Not until later in the year (cause I need to sort out hosting not just one but THREE sites lol...) In the meantime, in case ANYTHING happens, I've made backup sites on Comic Fury! Just in case haha
2. I've officially wrapped up my work for Harper Alley's "I Witnessed" Series. The Lizzie Bordon Story is out at bookstores now and you can request it at your local library too. And if you have time, leave a review on Goodreads! They're always appreciated. And expect to hear about The Great Train Robbery next year!
3. I still need to finish my little short story for that anthology I hinted about....like months ago at this point OH GOD LOL. I'll.... try and chip away at that soon. I swear!
4. I just storyboarded my little One-Shot for Viz! It's not no script, just vibes lol. Future me will figure out the finer details later this week. But in the meantime, the've been posted on Patreon if you're curious!
5. MY WEBCOMICS. SO. I'm already slowly chipping away at inking and coloring again! But man, I'm RUSTY. It's been a hot minute and it's taking me a good while to get used to drawing my own characters again??? (Especially Freakshow!!) But I'm aiming for late Fall/Early Winter to start updates again. And I wanna try something new this time around: Update less times a month but in exchange longer singular updates similar to how I Tigress Queen by Alli Shaw handles it (Which you should totally go read).
I'll experiment a bit with it but yah, it's something I've always wanted to try cause I think batch updates read way better but due to Ad Rev and how things were setup with Hiveworks, it was not something that was particularly encouraged. But now I'm free to just do it so screw it! Let's try it out for fun!!!
6. I've got some other pitch stuff in the oven! One is a sci-fi retelling of a classic story that has been cooking for YEARS and now that I'm done with my other obligations, it's ready to pitch again so cross your fingers it peaks an editors interest cause I'm DYING to work on this lol. I'm also slowly making some pitch packages for my webcomics! It was something that again, wasn't really encouraged by Hiveworks for various reasons but now I'm free to do as I please and have been tinkering with some things behind the scenes. Nothing fancy but yah, there seems to be some interest from publishers for webcomics so I might as well try~!
And I think that's it. Yeah, that's all I can think of atm haha but yes, keep an eye out for webcomic updates! I'm already posting wips and finished pages on Patreon so go check those out and I'll see ya soon~~
