New Year, New Chapter:
Welcome to 2025!
It's already been an interesting start to the new year for me. We missed out on a few things we usually do over new year celebrations due to my partner being sick, but we did the best we could. A few things have already been posted to my Patreon since I update near everything on the 5th and this already looks to be a busy month, but I feel pretty ready for it!
The December merch for my Patrons arrived on the 3rd, so was a bit late this year and I will be sending it out with this month's merch. I took a vote over on Patreon to ask what patrons would like the merch for this year to be, the theme, that is, and the winner ended up being Tarot themed, so I'm pretty excited for it. I already have the year planned so I won't be fumbling around trying to figure things out. I'm also only covering the major arcana, mostly to keep it easier for myself, but still enough to cover a decent number of characters from PR. Sticker sheets will also still continue so no change there.
I did, however, end up changing these 2 tiers on Patreon. Just a tad. Nothing super dramatic. One thing I discovered last year, was that videos was just not for me. Not the kind was making as it was simply taking far too much time and I was falling behind on other things and then it was draining everything I had. I will be continuing timelapse videos from time to time though. This part, I have still to plan out a wee bit, but I think I have at least a rough idea of how to break it all down for the year so things should still be interesting. Comic pages will not change at least :3
Speaking of comics, Parallel Rift book 1is now on the LAST chapter! You heard me right! It took me 6 years to get here, but hey, I'm finally here. Once this chapter concludes, the new prologue and website edits will be implemented fully. Some things may be changing at random throughout the year just to prep and such, but it will all be changed before this year is out. So goes the plan at this time at least. The major changes are to the prologue and around 5 pages of Ch 1. I also have minor edits throughout the story itself, from adjusting dialogue to framing and so on. A lot of it isn't huge stuff but it can time consuming. The hardest part will be putting this all into the website itself. It's also why I haven't updated the Archive in forever. Slow and steady as they say. Slow and steady.
Other than that, my main focus will be on growing my audience and hopefully increasing my Patreon once more! I would like to continue the monthly request sketches but still shy of the number of patrons I need in order to reach that goal. At this time, I'm also still dishing out some of my own pocket money for merch. I would eventually like to break even at some point, but for now, if I can nab a commission or two, it should help cover the costs till Patreon can support it entirely. Every little bit helps a ton!
Thank you to everyone's support all these years!
I hope you all have a happy, healthy, and safe 2025! Lets have some fun and stay creative this year!
