New SpiderForest Members!

SpiderForest is going to be updating the new comics (including my own) soon so I wanted to share my fellow new spiders here 😀 There’s some really talented people in this group and I’ve been enjoying reading some myself. Please click on the links below to go to their comic websites!

A little break

Hello lovely readers!

I’ve come to a point where I need to have a break from my comic for 1-2 months. I’ve been working on it for the past 2-3 years (including the first draft that hasn’t been published here) and there has been a few recent developments in story and character that has made me re-consider a few things in design and plot. So I need time to reflect on them. Funnily enough, the story has been inspired by the same sources that inspired my PhD proposal – so it’s likely it will crossover onto my academic work. In the meantime, I am giving myself the space needed to develop these new ideas.

Plus I need time to settle into my new job.

To all those who returned to enjoy the story or recent fans, this message is for you <3

Comic (+Schedule) Update and PhD Acceptance

Two loads of good news, I have finally completed page 78! That took me all day today and I’m knackered.

I may return to play around further with the text as it’s quite a busy one-panel page. However for now I am happy to leave it.

I’ve made a couple of changes to some previous pages’ script to fit in the update of my storyline, that is Ogog returning to his original name of Bryn Llewellyn (the purpose is that the former name no longer served a purpose and just added confusion). It’s early enough in the story to make that change so I took the opportunity.

I am also now an official PhD art student! This means I need to consider this alongside my new job and my comic updates, and it’s likely that I will have to return to a once monthly update rather than weekly realistically. Sorry everyone, I do need to sleep and relax from time to time to avoid burnout.

Enjoy the new page, I am going to rest on the sofa for a while.
