You know you $60 patrons have perks, right?

Only one of you has taken advantage of the perks, which is why Jordyn is featured in Guts and Glory. (I also liked the character so I kept using them.)

But, nobody else has offered up any characters to add to the story. Not saying you have to--I'm perfectly fine just taking the money for more pages--but it's an option you guys have.


Contact me directly at Aryion.com on the username Aces to get added to the story.

That's the end of chapter 2! That got done so much more quickly than chapter 1.

Chapter 3 is on the way. If we keep raising more funds we can even start chapter 4 early.

I'm glad to see so much support

If payment goes through I'll be able to bring ndnode back on board with the project. I'll have to adjust the goals accordingly, but it'd be nice to do this.

Chapter 2 got finished pretty damn quick. There might actually be hope of finishing the entire story over the course of a few years if we continue to bring on patrons at this rate.

Made this page public at least to tease progress on the comic to non-patrons! The more who contribute, the faster it gets done!

Price update! More good news!

I decided not to have SeekGr color the pages, since that would be inconsistent with the already finished pages. Instead, this means each page is only $40, which is substantially less than before.

You're getting at least two new pages next month as promised, and possibly a third one assuming the patron payment stays over $120 at the turn of the month. If it's at $150 as it is now I might just throw in an extra $10 out of pocket for four pages.

Thank you all for sticking with me through th...

Chapter 1 is finished!

The whole thing will be uploaded onto Aryion.com on my profile (Aces) in about a month.

In the mean time, here's a download to the final product in its entirety!

Also, SeekGr will be drawing the next two pages to start Chapter 2, assuming we keep up a rate of $120 at the turn of the month. Like I ...

Last page running a little late, but it's coming.

ndnode had some things come up, hence the slowness of the last page.

However, if we turn over to next month and still have >$100 of contributions, I'll be able to start buying 2 pages at a time from SeekGr.

With the last page of chapter 1 finished, the whole series will be posted on Aryion.com as I promised initially. However, chapter 2 will be locked for patrons only until it is also finished (except for like, the first few pages).

I will also be adjusting the patron rewards, s...

Change of plans, and good news.

I'm likely to just sign on a new artist to the project, as their art is cheaper than ndnode's while also being in color. The new artist will likely be SeekGr from Aryion.com!

If we get enough money, and SeekGr can't handle the work load on their own, I might also have ndnode back on to skip ahead to another chapter. That way the comic can be finished exponentially faster.

The more money we have, the more we can do. If SeekGr accepts, the price tag for commissions will drop to $50 a page....

Scrapped Chapter 12

At only 3 pages before I threw it out, this isn't a very long or vorish one to start us off, but it shows what a very different direction the story was initially to take with Amelia.

She was going to meet Voyla or the Enclave or Brotherhood in this scene, but this plotline was ditched when I realized how absolutely forced it felt. There was no buildup to Amelia's outburst in this chapter about how she doesn't have any friends beside her brother. It just completely broadsides the reader, so it ...

Goals changed!

I've edited our goals with the intention of hopefully providing two comic pages a month instead of one. Otherwise, at the current rate we're going, this comic series is going to take a stupidly long time to finish because I'm 50 chapters into the written story and we're still doing chapter 1 for the comic.

For now the next goals are $140 for two pages a month, and $200 for two colored pages a month, but the colored pages are just a placeholder until I manage to hear back from ndnode o...

Nearly enough money to meet one of our goals.

However I just realized; what if instead of colored pages, we instead did 2 pages a month instead of just one? That would raise the goal to $140 but the comic is already in mainly black and white so it'd be consistent.

Post your opinion!
