#149 “Family”
And so, Chapter 3 comes to a close… and the real story begins!
Here’s a major ‘Thank you!’ to everybody for following along with the little one-man show I’ve been putting on these past 3 years, I can’t imagine I would have ever gotten this far into this project without your support and love along the way! I do it for you guys!
That being said, I have to tell you all that I am going to take a break from the comic for a little while. Now, don’t worry! I’m not going on indefinite hiatus or anything like that, I simply need a bit of a vacation to refresh myself. As you are probably aware, the schedule has been rather tenuous at best lately, and I feel I am creatively fatigued, and lately physically so.
Last week, due to whatever circumstance, my drawing hand/wrist was causing me problems (tiredness, numbness), perhaps due to over-exertion at both my day job (factory work) and working on the comic too. It lasted nearly a week, however, today everything seems to be okay again. *phew* I’ll be monitoring the situation in the meantime, and acting accordingly.
Over the break, I will not be gone away. I’ll be working a bit behind the scenes, planning and scripting, and, yes, even building up a buffer without the pressure of a time constraint. Perhaps I’ll do a bit of work on the site itself, so stay tuned for the next update. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask! I read everything in the comment section.
I expect to be away at least one (1) month or so, though I shall judge how I feel at the time.
See you soon!
Stay tuned!
Hey Brandon, French fan over here! Can’t wait to read what’s next! You do quite an amazing job here, I love your work.
Hoping everything will be good with you and your hand, take care you deserve some rest. =D
Thanks man!
Thank you very much for your excellent work. Greatings from Vigo, Spain.
Thank you for reading it!
Your comic has been amazing! I’ve loved it since I started reading it. I think a lot of comic artists get to the point where you are at right now and it’s the make or break point. It’s hard to get back on the horse once you get off, but if it helps you at all, you have at least one avid fan that’ll be there when you pick up the pen again 😀
Thanks! Nah, I think I’ll have no problem getting back into it when the time comes. There is a lot more story to come, and I have no intention of abandoning it. Hopefully everyone doesn’t forget about it in the meantime though. I know how fast the internet can move on sometimes. XD
Ah but… we are not “the internet”, we are a band of loyal fans (and you know how *clingy* they can be)
*not a real English word.
Great comic, but YOUR health comes first, relax. Those carpel tunnel wrist braces look stupid, and and at the end of a day, you are all sweaty and sore, but it actually helps. Also jell pads in front of your mouse and keyboard help, so try some different thinks snd see what works for you.
Actually, I think the brace I bought looks kind cool… but hey, that’s just me. I actually haven’t needed it in 3 days, although one tendon in the back of my hand is a bit iffy today. I may put it on if it gets any worse. Trying not to stress it out.
At least it’s not going numb anymore.
Take good take of yourself Brandon!!
Indeed! Thank you!
I can’t describe how I feel right now. I thought I was not into love stories but you caugh me with this one, tho. I’ll wait patiently ’till your hand gets better and… you have more ideas of course. But now, I have to admit that you have created such a nice story! I hope to come back and see how you are doing in the future. Get well soon! 🙂
Oh, I’ve got lots of ideas still to come, don’t worry! This vacation will do me good, though.
I’m glad I found this oh so long ago your work is excellent. Shadow is still monster for the photo makes me wonder. You always leave burning questions with you comics.
I think the comic is the best thing of ever, I knew about you comic just two/three days ago and I alredy read ALL comic 3 times and it’s the 4th time; I hope you’re fine
Thank you! Sorry about the bad timing, though. Stick around, I’ll be back soon-ish.
Is this their prom night or something
I dunno~!
I’ve been following this for a few months now, and I really love the work. I hope to see this work complete someday, but I don’t mind the wait.
Awesome! Well, hopefully I get a nice recharge and be back before you know it!
I just noticed that her ears shift sometimes with her mood
Yeah, they go up and down, and backwards.
.. but they’e ALWAYS behind her eyes.
Take as much time off as you need.
Your health is most important.
Thanks! I won’t be gone too long.
“Everything we’ve been through, you stuck with us.” Sounds like the family had an adventure and not the other way around.
Going to miss Midnight.
You take it easy on your break.
I figured a hiatus was gonna happen soon, it usually does once you can predict a pattern of inconsistent updates
Yeah, I just need a bit of a recharge. I’ll be back before you know it!
Brandon, I’ve enjoyed the story since I found. Looking forward to more. Take care of yourself.
