We've been travelling a lot, and that's put quite a damper on my ability to maintain a consistent drawing schedule. If this thing ever becomes more than the thing I think it will be, I will probably have to look into solutions so I can keep drawing even when I'm away from my desk at home. In the meantime, I'm still committed to the comic, and I'm also committed to this Patreon, so if I have to work my ass off to play catch-up, that'll be on me.
I have a good sized backlog now that it'll take me 3 months to chew through, and that's if I stop drawing altogether. There's a few problems with doing it this way though. First and foremost is if my backlog gets big enough, I start to relax and feel like it's okay to slack off a bit. Bad. Bad, Trick.
Last week I was struck with some inspiration and probably just about doubled the length of my story. I also made myself really sad by finally settling on how the story is going to end. I've left myself some flexibility, of course, because it's no fun for me if I am just coloring inside the lines, but by having a strong outline to follow, I think it'll lead to a more cohesive and more interesting story overall. It's weird when I think about just how long it might take to GET to the ending of Kiva's story. Chapter 1 is looking to be about 20 weeks. Chapter 2 will probably be another 20. Then there's Chapters 3 and 4... 5 and 6. Which takes us to about 2021. And that's just all the stuff I have roughed out already. Tack on some interesting side-plots I have planned, the major reveal of several plot elements and the conclusion of the main adventure... I had to ask myself... am I really ready to commit what might be the next ten years of my life to this comic? I think I am.
