Website Update (Chapter 11 Finale)
Added 2020-03-27 17:10:48 +0000 UTCIt's an update! Muchas gracias to my patrons for helping make this one possible in good time.
Our experiment these past two chapters was the return to fully hand-drawn pages. In that time I received about 1.5 question(s) over it, yet they weren't framed as a complaints. Whether this indicates that readers didn't notice, didn't care, or preferred the shift in style can be debated. Silence is an interesting test negative.
I have a mission to complete r[E]volution's story in the most efficient manner possible, so I'm always exploring short-cuts that don't compromise the story's medium, its message, or its audience (RIP chupa game, and that animatic.) Sometimes the best improvements are the little things - adjustments in release schedule (thanks Patreon), coloring (thanks Lady_Vossler), thumbnailing (thanks MS Paint?), or my daily workload (thanks 40-hour job??)
So what's next? I try to look to Master Oum et al. for an example. The more I study their work, the closer I get to what matters in storytelling. Appealing art isn't always the most detailed - the dichotomy between what the artist sees and what the viewer sees is vast, and exploitable - continuity is an important illusion - and only what's in frame matters.
The next experiment's ahead - keep moving forward.

Haha yes, I agree with you on some points. We'll see *just how sketchy* we can get before whining kicks in. I'm ready to goooooo on this shiz, can't be held up by perfectionism. <3 ya, you big supportive whorseband

It's always appealed to me and continues to be a reason why I consider you a favorite artist of mine. Husbandry aside, your storytelling is absolutely the reason I dig it. Even your 30 minute sketches would tell stories. You capture character in your sketchiest lines, so I look forward to whatever you choose to try next in your experiment, and can't wait to experience it with ya.
