‘Not A Villain’ Webcomic – Page 826

Hey, new page!

Sorry for the radio silence, but hey, at least it's because of good news this time: I got married!

First time for me--I'm long past my prime so I figured it would never happen, but fate had other ideas and my soulmate finally showed up.

So I, uh, kind of turned into a love-struck teenager (which was weird!) and forgot to work on the comic  >_<

But, I'm back! And will resume the monthly update. I still have a goal to get back to weekly updates but no promises about that yet. But I will promise there will be no more radio silences for the rest of this year. There will either be a page or a sketch every first Tuesday of the month.

Thanks everyone!

Next update: April 1st

‘Not A Villain’ Webcomic – Page 821

Hey, look at that. Took three years, but here's the next page (here's a link to the previous one).

This and the next page were the ones I was working on when my sister died. I still cry looking at these two pages; all of the emotion and memories come rushing back. Even posting it makes me break down. Which is ironic considering what the pages are about.

Anyway, here you go. I hope you'll enjoy these pages more than I ever will.

 

Edit: Next update will be Sept 3rd.

 

Hiatus – Results Are In

Thanks to all who participated in my poll. Honestly, I wasn't expecting such an overwhelming show of support and patience, so thank you. That is so very kind of you all. And to the few who weren't so supportive, I understand your impatience and frustration. I feel it against myself just as much.

Quite a few pointed out that I didn't word the options very well and that the last two were basically the same. Which, when I re-read them, turns out to be true. Haha.

What I was trying to ask was: when I finally start updating, do you prefer a schedule or not?

But, as many others of you pointed out, this question should be answered by me. So I did. And it turns out, I prefer a schedule.

So, I'm making the tentative plan of starting monthly updates on August 6th. I currently have two pages nearly all done (they require the last step which is adding in the dialogue, doing last minute touch-ups, then formatting it for the web) and many others in various stages of completion. Despite still crawling at a snail space emotionally while doing art, I think I can reasonably expect to get five pages done this year. *knocks on wood just in case the universe is gleefully waiting to throw me another curveball*

I'm really hoping to get more than five done, but I'm trying not to set too high of a bar. And, for my anxiety levels, I have to say that come 2025, I reserve the right to re-evaluate and change things.

Hopefully, however, all goes well and I can start reliably sharing Kleya's story again. I mean, we're finally getting to a juicy bit with the Dude, Danni, and Jane! And I had this big plan to do something cool with my amazing subscribers after a certain event happens in the story and we're so close to it (though, at a monthly update, it's going to take years...). So I DO want to continue. And I hope you'll hang on with me as I fight my way to my goal.

Thanks.
