November Sketch

Looks like we reached the $250 goal for this last month. Thanks everyone!

Welcome Home

When this story was first taking shape in my mind there were so many moments in it that I wanted to visualize. Too many, really. Anyways, this was one of them. Hope you enjoy it :)

Warning

A bunch of people just came in, pledged, and then removed their pledge almost immediately. I figure it was so they could get all the content here for free.

Patreon e-mails me when I get new pledges and the numbers are small enough that I can keep track of everyone who's here right now. I've decided to block those who I catch doing this from now on. I've also changed the tumblr password and will give it out again next month.

I'm not meaning to threaten anyone with this. I really app...

I have to admit...I'm happy with how this part is turning out.

October #3

We're almost to the end of the month now. It's been really amazing to see my support grow so much recently butI'm getting a little nervous as I know it's prime time for people to start pulling pledges. I don't mean to beg here but if you can please hold through to November. I'm keeping up with page updates and have started on storyboards for the next scene that will begin in January. There's still a lot more story to tell! And I promise there will be plenty more art for you to enjoy.

School Days

I liked seeing the fan art posted here and sketched this up for fun. Thanks, Will :)

This next section of the scene is very reminiscent of Rogue's Nekobe stories.

Tumblr

It does still exist and has all the pages arranged nicely for you to peruse at your leisure. You can find it at worldsapartcomic.tumblr.com. The password right now is: kupopopo!

Please do not follow it or reblog any pages. It's only meant to be for current patrons. I'll change the password each month but I may have to change it more often if I see a lot of pledges getting pulled again.

Thanks again for your support, everyone. It really means a lot to me :)

Sorry if you're a little disappointed by this page. There's still a lot left to this chapter though. I hope you will all keep reading as the most important part is yet to come.

October #2

To all of you who have recently come in to support this project, thank you. And thank you to everyone who has stuck around this long. I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who is here to help me keep going. I will have an update later this month with information about the tumblr page.

The current scene is halfway done now and I wasn't really sure if I could keep going on it given all the time it's been taking lately. But if funding can stay stable or even grow just a little more then I can rest...

Illustration Reward Example

I distribute sketches and illustrations through a dropbox link sent in a private message and you have to have pledged and paid the $10 or $20 for the previous month to receive it.

August was a bit rocky as a lot people edited their pledges when they saw these being posted. There were also a few $20 pledges, one later labeled as a fraudulent account and another pulled right before the end of the month, that made me realize I need to avoid posting pricier content to stop it being taken for free...

Sketch Reward Example

This is one of the "slice of life" sketches that is part of the $10 and $20 reward tiers. Figured it would be a good idea to show it so people will know what they will get if they pledge more.

October

Thanks to everyone who has supported me on this project. I really appreciate what you've done to help me continue on with this story. Rewards will be ready soon.

I've had to reevaluate the work I've been doing here lately and feel I need to adjust some things in moving forward. As it stands right now nothing is going to change, but if funding continues to diminish I will need to scale back how many pages I upload here each month. I've retroactively added some goals to reflect this change so yo...

Halfway through now. Thanks again, everyone.

Things might need to change soon...but probably won't.

I'm sorry if this post comes off as whiny but I felt I need to address something right now.

I've been seeing a lot of pledges get deleted lately. I've also had to remove some pledges from fake accounts. If you need to pull your pledge please do so at the beginning of the month, not at the end. That way you're not taking content for free. I know that budgets are tight for a lot of people here and I realize you can't always know what's going to happen with financial stuff. I don't like blocking ...

So this is the last update for the month. I'll post some info about October rewards and a few other things after I finish the next page.

Thanks again for your support, everyone :)

Little early on the update this week. Just gotta keep moving on some other things right now. Thanks again for your support, everyone.

September

Thanks to those who contributed for the month of August. I've decided to do things differently for sketches and illustrations from now on and will be sending out a message with a dropbox link when these are ready this month. This means that only those who have paid for the reward beforehand will receive this content from now on.

I will also be removing the sketches and illustration from last month soon. So if you paid for those make sure to download them now. Please be honest about this. ...

Thanks again for all your support this month, everyone. I saw some pledges get pulled after the last status update I posted (and subsequently removed) but I hope the rest of you are still enjoying the comic.

Update

So it's looking like my first funding goal is about to be met. Admittedly, I'm not sure what to offer for the next one but I'll try to figure something out soon. I originally only had enough material to last until January of next year with this current chapter, but the contributions here are making me feel I need to continue past then. I have some more parts written and can probably start storyboarding for them around the end of October. I realize that many here do not have a lot of funds to con...
