The day has come. Preproduction is over. The lineup is ready, other character sheets are ready. The detailed outline of the story with a page breakdown is ready. I'm now in condition to begin drawing the comic pages!
How long is the comic going to be?
The final outline is 43 pages long. This is by far the longest chapter of the comic, with chapters 1 and 2 being 20 pages long, and chapter 3 going up to 26 pages. You're probably wondering why this one is so long. Well, the answer is that I just had a LOT of plot and character beats to include this time, and I prioritized the timing over a shorter page count. It's also an odd number cause this time I made it with a printing page order in mind. NOT because I'm thinking of selling prints or anything, I just thought it'd be nice to think of it as a printable comic instead of a 100% digital one.
What's the schedule for publication like?
There's no schedule. I'll be working on the comic to the best of my ability, and I'll post the new pages as soon as they're ready. However, I will be making weekly updates every Monday to let you guys know how much progress, or lack thereof I was able to make in the past seven days. These updates will be Patreon exclusive as they may contain sketches, in-progress lineart, or unfinished colors. These WIPs (works in progress) will only be there if I can't finish a page in a week, so they may not be one every week, and they won't always be in the same state of completion.
When are the pages going to be publicly shared?
Since I don't have a schedule this time, I'll start releasing public pages whenever there's a backlog of 10 pages in Patreon. So whenever I finish page 11 I'll release page 1 publicly, then release page 2 whenever page 12 is finished, and so on.
That's it, pretty much. I'll be working on Patreon rewards that I owe to the ever-so-patient people who support me, and then I'll be working on this comic non-stop, pretty much.
I'll be pinning this post, so I will leave all previous PDFs of the three comics, both in Spanish and English, so there's easier access to them.
Thank you all so much!
