I just want to thank you for rating, sharing and liking and everything else Resonance Men for the LINE Webtoon science fiction comics contest. I did not make it to the next round, but it has been a ton of fun being in the contest. I really appreciate all the support and I know I got my comics in front of a lot more people for it, and the response has been great.
The worst part about the news for me is that the $30,000 is off the table. If anyone has that kind of money lying around… let me know. 😛
The worst part for everyone else… is that I am not going to continue posting 3 pages per week. I will be taking some time to get a buffer back into my life before posting more.
(Unless, of course, you’re a Patron. If you’re a patron, I’ll be posting pages as I complete them. So, if you want to get things before everyone else, you can pay what you want for the access (over $1) each month.)
Pushing out the first 5 pages of chapter 2 while getting rewrites done all while trying to update the website and everything has shown me that I can get more done than I thought I could do. It’s also showed me that I can’t keep it up for long. I can feel the burnout on the horizon, and my solution is to stop. To take a breath. And take the advice of my friends and mentors and finish the book.
Really each chapter of Resonance Men has been telling one story arc. There’s 5 chapters in the graphic novel that is Resonance Men: The Tablet of Destiny. What I really want to do is make a book. I am not going to become a hermit and never post another page, but I do want to get a healthy buffer going before I start posting comics again.
The best traffic I’ve gotten in a while was posting three pages a week (just like the old times). It’s just a lot to handle with everything that’s going on in my life right now (baby number 3 on the waaaay!), and I want to make sure that I’m not skimping on the art to make these sorts of deadlines.
So, production continues… off line! Or just continues in general if you’re a Patron. Just saying. 🙂
