So one thing i saw on our google forms under "other" was more posts about more behind the scenes stuff. So one thing i've been doing is going through earlier pages and updating both the way I've done text (which was atrocious) and more specifically, kinda solidifying Neri's earlier design, which fluctuated a bit. Not the busting out of the wall part, that's intentionally more design crazy for story purposes. But the worst is page 5. It's a mess. It's referenced being a mess 7 pages later because how bad it was. So I've spent a few hours trying to revise and fix that, shown above as a before and after. I'm up to page 6 so far, but all the revised pages are seen in the webtoons site: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/caelum-sky/list?title_no=351151
The other thing I'd like to offer is some telegram stickers of various Neri expressions. That's by far my most popular aspect of this comic, so i'm looking for suggestions of which ones you guys would be interested in me cutting out. ALSO, I'll probably add a few not in the comic to the pack, so let me know which expression you'd like and i'll make it happen. I'm juggling commercial work and comic work at the same time right now, so it may take a few weeks to get done.
Everyone was very supportive and I really enjoyed reading everyone's comments! If you haven't filled out the form, please do so!
Last bit is I had a few comments wondering if I could post a link to the story, which i wholeheartedly support people reading if they'd like to. Are you going to spoil key parts about the comic? I mean sure. Is the comic still going to be interesting enough for you to stick around? Based on the people that've read it in the past, I believe that makes up a good chonk of our readerbase here. The comic and story'll be different enough I feel it'd be fine for people to read, if they're interested. Story is first person exclusive, and you've seen we bounce around more in the comic, and we'll flesh out lore/ how the world of CS works .
Link to story: https://caelum-sky.tumblr.com/ If you'd like a taste of how they differ, you can safely read up to the end of chapter 3, that's about where we are comic wise.
I'd also like to offer more world-building snippets on this patreon, but I run into the risk of spoilers, obviously. I think if I keep these snippets more generic /more about world things instead of character things, we should be fine. I'm thinking of doing a "what are these weird fantasy characters based on in the real world that Andrea knows" which would be alot more about just... I guess where these people and places come from.
Let me know what you would be interested in!
