dimitracomics:DImitra and the Silver Mask, Prologue: Page 44Happy wednesday everybody! Kind of an odd day for an update, I know, but I figure I’d kept you waiting long enough for this one.And Speaking Of Waiting A Long Time For Updates (says I, Master of the Segue), I have an ANNOUNCEMENT!Here follows, the ANNOUNCEMENT: I have been really struggling for the last few years to regularly update this comic while also juggling my full time career as a Storyboard Artist for animated movies and TV. As some of you may know, working in animation is a notoriously demanding field, and the hours can be very long and pretty exhausting. Add writing and drawing an elaborate fantasy war comic on the side and it’s a recipe for pretty frequent and recurring bouts of burnout, and predictably: long, frequent, and unannounced hiatuses. All this to say, the pace of the comic has been a little glacial for my tastes, and even though I’ve made more pages in the last year than I have in previous years… well, you’ll notice we’re still just in the prologue. So, I’m going to attempt something a little risky. I am taking a looooong break (at least six months, possibly more) from doing storyboards and studio work, and during that time I’m making this comic my #1 priority. For YOU that means no more missed updates, and possibly (depending on my output) MORE pages a week (I’d love to start doing two, for starters).For ME that means a lot more time to focus not just on drawing new pages, but also doing design work, worldbuilding, and getting more of the script written. It also means, unfortunately, a pretty steep loss of income, so I plan on getting my defunct patreon account up and running again sometime in the next couple weeks (I’ll make another post about that when it’s all up and running). If you have the means and the desire to support an artist who’s trying to go independent and escape from the studio system, I would deeply appreciate it, it would be a huge help. I would love to turn this comic into my fulltime gig someday, but I know that is going to take a lot of hard work and hustle, and may still be a long ways off. In the meantime, if you are enjoying the comic and you’d like to help out, please share the comic around to help me get some more eyes on it. Likes, reblogs, retweets, etc are always appreciated and are incredibly helpful. You can also join our little community over on the official discord server, if you want to hang out and ask questions, chat about the comic, post art, whatever floats your boat: https://discord.gg/278PhwR And of course, keep tuning back in for new pages! There’s a lot more to come!Thanks everybody, I appreciate each and every one of you!-milo -- source link
