Last Seeker tarot reading for October
It's the last one. I'll be doing a full celtic cross spread for the $40/Seeker tier later this week. Thanks for coming along on this experiment! If you're interested in what all that looks like, and/or you want a Spooktober tarot reading, and/or you want to do a one-time subscription at a higher tier, this is the month to do it (not to mention you get access to all the previous illustrations I've done for the past 2 years for it).
New drops in the shop
And of course, the 5th Anniversary print
There's also an embroidered sweater coming but I'm waiting to see the proof first. Hoping to add some more knitted sweaters too.
Familiar's final chapters
As I mentioned in September, chapter 20 HOME is the season 3 finale and last plot chapter before the Familiar finale. It feels weird to be here! I'll be talking about this more as we get further here, but I have outlined what the ending of Familiar looks like. I'll be sharing it with you all probably early in 2025. As of right now, I am planning at least 4 filler chapters before the 3-part finale. If this all goes according to plan, we are looking at chapters well into 2026, so don't fret.
For something to look forward to/speculate upon, here are the working titles for the 4 filler chapters: SAFE, TOY, CAGE, VANILLA.
Other projects
That being said, I'm also rolling forward with the serial comic I plan to do after Familiar ends, UNORIGINAL CHARACTERS ("UNOC" for short). Starting in November of this year, I'll be releasing behind the scenes/WIP/developmental content for UNOC to the $40/Seeker tier. Further into 2025 I may begin dripping this to the middle tiers as well, depending on how things are going.
I'm also planning to work on a stand-alone short called SOIRÉE, which you might be able to guess about if you have been following my work for a while. I'll also be sharing dev and WIP work of this to the Seeker tier. I'm not sure yet what I want to do with the final thing (as in, where/how I want to publish it) but that's a problem for future me. I'll plan to post the final pages to the Seeker tier at least (possibly Scholar or Collector too).
End of the year schedule, regularly scheduled break
Now that I have a pretty strong understanding of where I'm at and where I want to be with Familiar, here's the schedule for the remainder of the year and into 2025:

i am allergic to the idea of having to do *counts on fingers* 105 ??? ish pass pages but at least my winter isn't going to be as busy as my summer and fall were/are so at least you picked a good time for that LMAO 🤣 All these upcoming plans sound super exciting though; I wish you the best (and a self care in between hehe) 🫶🏻

Found it! Thanks :)

Hey there! You can access all the chapters in the Collections tab -- there's a full archive collection. Finding the tab can be tricky depending on what platform you're using, but it's visible from my creator landing page on browser, and I believe it's accessible from the menu in the app. Let me know if you have any trouble finding it!

Question as a new patron: where are chapters 8 onward of Familiar located? I've been reading on FlowFo, and I assumed the latest chapter there (chapter 7) was the most recent one finished xD
