StudioSR3 March 2021 Report

Hey guys, it's been a while.

It's almost been a year since I've published any significant content. I know how that sounds, but that silence hasn't been easy on me, and I haven't been doing nothing this entire time. I've spent the last year doing a lot of behind the scenes work: writing, coding, learning new techniques and training. Now I should be ready to start delivering content worthy of your time and mine.

I want to start reporting on progress made each month. This is because works from StudioSR3 will not be as obvious as Studio SergeXIII or Thirteenth Child Studios before it. This is because StudioSR3 will act more like a portfolio and less like a web comic service. You won't get them as fast, but I'm confident works will be significantly better this way. I can't wait to show you.

At any rate, March was devoted to rebranding into StudioSR3. I've migrated to a new website, https://studiosr3.com . I've had issues with https://thirteenthchild.net for a while, but back when I created it that was my only comic, so the URL made sense. The old pages are completely gone, a painful but necessary measure in order to escape old habits I developed making my websites primarily to present web comics. As stated earlier, StudioSR3 will be more of a portfolio website. Comics will still be readable on the website, but with a presentation based on completed works and not ongoing series. Should be easier to navigate at any rate.

Features will be added to the new website over time. Planned features include an illustration gallery, merchandise gallery, comment support (TC didn't had this due to moderation issues, but I've solved them since), and a forum.

I'm also designing the site to give extra features to patrons.

I've also made progress on a few comics, namely Dead Eye: Lullaby which now has a completed rough draft. This comic is not intended for print on the internet, instead I plan on publishing the completed books either through a publisher or independently. I will, however, be giving my patrons access to the comic as it progresses. Expect to read the first draft here in April.
