Progress, what to expect & feedback? (Patreon)

Images attached at the bottom of this post.

I hope 2024 is off to a good start for you.
I had a rough start, finding out that 48 hours of food poisoning was no fun. Thankfully, Pepto and chicken soup came to the rescue. I'm good now but it set back my drawing by a few days.

Folks, just a heads up that updates will be slower from here on out.
(^_^')

Ch.92-94 were drawn very slowly during my hiatus in early-mid 2023. My assistants flattened them in September, and I started coloring in October-December without drawing new chapters. Coloring those 200+ panels took 3 full months.

Now that I'm drawing again, finishing chapters will take more time. I hope you understand (^^)

What to expect:

Chapter 95 has over 100 panels. The last half has many detailed background environments, which will take more time.

I'm coloring the first 15 panels, aiming to finish in a week. Panels 16-48 should be done by end of January.

I aim to finish panels 49-106 before end of February. The tone and pacing shift toward the end of Chapter 95.

Also, there will be no romance after that.

There may be an exclusive epilogue, but revealing anything about that would spoil the third act. For now, let's just say the story moves on, without hinting at what's next. I don't want to ruin any twists and turns.

Drawing North and Cora together is what I enjoy most. I may randomly add some extra romance drawings/short comics when inspired, to add variation to what you'll read here - a sprinkle of cheer to lighten the mood.

I'm looking for feedback.

If you support other sci-fi/fantasy artists on Patreon, you know romance can't be in every story phase. What kind of fun extras do they offer as patron rewards? Feel free to name drop so I can check them out!

Putting out a full AU comic like I did back during covid is not possible. It will take too much time from finishing this comic. But short bonuses provide a welcomed break while coloring.

I would REALLY LOVE to finish MD by end of 2024, but my current top speed is a few panels a day, not counting random life distractions. I can only move forward at that rate, otherwise I will run out of fuel again. I’m taking things one month at a time and see how it goes.

What quick extras would you like to see? I appreciate any suggestions!
Can’t put NSFW here after 2023, but as long as it’s not explicit it’s fine.

Thank you for reading all the way down here!
