An update! + SAKANA VOLUME 3 Cover progress
Added 2020-01-13 15:47:45 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I'm sorry for the radio silence these past few months! I talk often about having too many projects going at once and finding it hard to work myself out from underneath all of that: and that's still a problem! HOWEVER, I'm feel like I've finally found some solid ground within this massive workload mire.
Let me catch you up to where I'm currently at, and what I've currently accomplished:
1. I finished the interior pages for Sakana Volume 3! This includes TWO MINICOMICS, new chapter title pages, frontmatter and backmatter, and some design elements for the pages. I'll be posting the minicomics here on Patreon for all of you before the Kickstarter is launched!
2. I'm WORKING ON the cover! As you can see, I've finished flats and color holds. Now it's time for shading and effects! Hopefully this will only take another day or so! I'm trying to move on to the KS page and bonus rewards ASAP!
3. ROBBER/ROBERT has been on hiatus for a little while so I could finish Sakana stuff and launch the Kickstarter! It should return to scheduled updates either this week or next week!
4. THE OTHER GRAPHIC NOVEL is still in pencils right now, and will be what I focus on primarily after the Kickstarter is over! It's a stand-alone story being published by First Second, so it has a finite lifespan and harder deadlines than my personal projects.
So as you can see, still a lot of work to get through! But I've been picking away at it for the last two years, and I feel like I'm finally starting to crest the wave of this workload. First off the list is the V3 Kickstarter, next will be finishing up RR, then the graphic novel probably, and then SAKANA, which has one more volume to go!
If you're still here after all this time, I really appreciate your support! The work has been so constant that it's felt hard to offer anything more to my Patreon. But I'm now in a better place mentally and work-wise, so I'm hoping I'll be able to start posting here again more regularly. Thank you all so much!
