Hi everybody,
Apologies for the delays in updates in February - we have had some developments within the team.
First of all, I'd like to inform you all that Juni_Draws has left the project due to having obligations to their own personal work-life balance which were so severe that they could no longer contribute their time to any future pages. Juni was invaluable to us throughout the first chapter and the first portion of the 2nd chapter we've been working on. Juni provided the entiring coloring process as well as line-art and story-line point editings alongside both myself and and Ventzx1...
We were incredibly sad to hear that Juni could no longer find the time to contribute to the project. With their depature, it also left a void of responsibilities within the project that had to be fufilled, mainly that of a new colorist.
Ventzx1 and I discussed the possibility of hiring a new artist and colorist with exceptional talent to take on the production of the comic... someone with an established history in producing similar comics of this nature while being an exceptionally talented colorist... Finding someone like this isn't very easy and we had to do an "asking around" process to find the right artist.
Finally, after seeing samples of their work, I found an artist who I was happy with through CrockComix who is another artist. They recommended Riyuki to both Ventzx and I and we were very impressed.
To ensure Riyuki was the correct artist for this task, we discussed doing a recreation of the 2nd chapter's primary cover image in his art style to be given to supporters as an example of the quality he can produce while also informing you of the departure of Juni_Draws from our team.
Through initial feedback so far, we can say it seems you are all exceptionally pleased with the quality output Riyuki can provide to the project and were completely understanding of the delays when all was revealed to you about what we've had to deal with this February.
We'd like to thank-you all for being patient and continuing to support us throughout this process. We would not be able to afford or work with an artist as exceptional as Riyuki without your contributions. It is your contributions that make this project possible.
We hope to produce new pages in the immediate future under the new style presented by Riyuki as early as the start of March.
