🕑 Added 2024-10-25 14:42:22 +0000 UTCAs you know I've finished Synthetic Instinct Issue 4 thus the entirety of Volume 2 in September.
I have been working on Synthetic Instinct for 5 years now, I wrote my script up to Volume 3 (issue 5-6) and I have my outline for the entire thing. As I say I know how this story ends, just now I'm running out of finished script.
I need some time to write, I find webcomic audiences don't really put value in writing or why a creator needs time to write. If you just focus on the art stories can loose steam or direction 100+ pages in.
I want to finish all the Synthetic Instinct scripts first.
I also need a break from constantly working on Synthetic Instinct.
When I'm 110% focused on a comic I don't take time to work on stuff I need to practice to keep my skills up. I also want to get comic samples in my current portfolio,
reorganize my website/web presence and get my comics on their own subdomains so I can have a portfolio again.
Normally speaking I would just jump into another comic as I have ton of scripts like what I did with Wild Autumn when I was on vacation earlier this year. Honestly a lot of people were really rude with their feedback about Wild Autumn so I have to admit I lost a lot of steam about working on it again. I don't want to dwell on it but it did kinda hurt.
So till the new year I won't have any new comics or comic updates. I'll still be making art, posting portfolio sample pages in pencils/inks. As well concepts I need to design for Synthetic Instinct as I haven't even had much time to work on those.
Just to give you a little heads up of things to come, I appreciate your support which enables me to work on comics full time thank you!

I appreciate this, I think a lot of people forget many comics are either minimal styles or made by a team. I would love to hire a colourist as I hate colouring but alas that isn't in the cards yet. I'll get back into the swing of things but I really am enjoying the time to practice while I work on the writing.

Please take as much time as you need to. I love seeing your art and I love your stories. I would love to see new work of yours ALL THE TIME, but I know and understand how difficult and time consuming creating can be. I'm sorry others don't understand that (or are just spoiled and entitled). Please take care of your self and your skills. *sends all the hugs*
