Well, that was much longer than I had anticipated.
I can't really say anything, other than thank you so much for sticking around with me. There's been a lot of changes and adjustments. Trial and error and whatnot. And this is the result of those efforts.
I've been working very hard on Chapter 5 of Various Happenings for the last ten months or so. It's been a learning experience, for sure, but I hope you'll like what I've come up with. It's been almost a year exactly, just a day shy, since the last update, too, and I'm terribly sorry to keep you all waiting.
Now why is there a gap on the side you may ask, this is a very odd comic page, isn't it?
(SOUND WARNING: I apologize, the music is a little loud so you might want to turn down your speakers at the start before you get to the title.) (CONTENT WARNING: Heed the content warnings! This comic and the animatic/visual novel itself are rated MA!)
I hadn't wanted to have it take this long, but not only did I have to find my place in the story once more, I had to find my passion for art again! It was quite a task.
But in the end, I have stories to tell, this one most certainly, and I would be remiss if I let it lie. I've quit before, but I promised myself that this time I wouldn't. So I won't.
I hope so very much that this will be the last hiatus of this length. The next bit won't be as long, or as long between, certainly, and the next episode won't be a full chapter. I'll be breaking them up for faster release and things should go faster that way as a result. We'll just see how it goes. I'll probably be posting some exerpts or stills from this that I like in particular later, too, so feel free to comment on those.
I've learned a lot, and while October is always a very busy month for me, I'm hoping that I'll be able to get some time to write and prepare.
For now, please enjoy the show. And once again, thank you for reading. It means so very much to me, and I hope to see you again in the future.
What can I say about this? I am almost at a loss for words. Well...not really but still...absolutely amazing! I can see why there was such a long gap in between updates on this online sage. Various Happenings has long been one of my all time favorites. Each and every page just oozes style and atmosphere. Every artist is unique but there are definitely stylistic similarities among a great deal of them. The truly iconic are to be treasured. You are one such artist. This tale you are weaving trumps almost everything else. The fact that you chose such a distinctive storytelling device only showcases you growth as a creator. This chapter is outstanding and only wets my appetite for more. I know it will probably be a while until the next but you know what they say about those who wait...
