STARFIGHTER Chapter 5: Page 137 + 138 FINAL PAGEπ (Patreon)
Content
Ah, we've made it to the end of Starfighter!ππ
(The second image is a transition from the previous page to this one! I added it as a thumbnail because it's not as exciting as the spread, haha!π But it does exist as a transition from the Sleipnir to Mars.)
Even though the ending has been in sight for so long- now that it's here, I find myself a little heavy-hearted!ππ (I know some long-time readers might feel similarly!) Although, even if I'm a little sad to reach the end, I'm so absolutely thrilled to have such a big, completed story under my belt! π³π¨π
And it's all thanks to everyone here that made it possible! You truly supported this comic every step of the way- I never had a publisher or any type of industry involvement- it was all self-made and fan-supported.
I would like to thank Thisbe, who is such a profound source of encouragement and support. I don't even know where to start on the magnitude of labor Thisbe has invested in Starfighter.. he's basically the pillar of strength behind the drawings. I could not have done it without him! He tirelessly worked on formatting the books to print, fulfilling orders, website building and maintenance, and helping out at conventions. Thank you Thisbe for always being there for me.. and for always being honest enough to tell me when a drawing wasn't working out!π (I love you so much!π)
I would also like to thank Ono, who worked on flat colors on a few of the Starfighter books as well as suffered drawing with me long into the night while we were both working on Eclipse!ππ Ono always helped me and encouraged me, even when I had such a hard time- I would have been lost if she hadn't been by my side.
I would also like to thank Mnick, who helped do flat colors in Chapter 5! Thank you for your speedy turn-arounds and for being such a wonderful artist!
And of course- thank you to everyone here. So many of you have made drawings, cosplay, fanfic- and subscribed here on Patreon! You encouraged this story and it's creation and now you've seen it through to completion! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. It would not have been possible without you.πββοΈπ It means the world to me.
I always wanted Ethan and Alexei's story to be the main focus and for the ending to have a hopeful note. So, even though the story is very much completed for me, I understand if there are frustrations about some details not being addressed- but I hope that you will be forgiving and understanding of this. I don't think it would be possible for everyone to be happy with the ending, but I never less hope it has been satisfying for you. ππ
What is going to happen on this Patreon?
In every print version of the book, I add extras, as some of you already know! I am going to keep this Patreon Tier still active for Starfighter content for the next month (until March) while I make extra illustrations for the book- I will be doing one weekly!
Starting in March, the Starfighter Tier will switch over to my new comic that will update weekly, like Starfighter did. The comic will be based on my "Motorcycle Lesbians" drawings. I hope you will like it!πββοΈπ
I know it will be a bit different.. and maybe hard to let Starfighter go (I can understand!π) but I hope you will enjoy my next story. πββοΈπ
tl;dr This next month will still have Starfighter content! Starting March, I will switch to a new story.
Whew, there was so much info in this post! And it's such a momentous occasion!ππ
Thank you all again, so so much.ππ I always wondered what this day would be like and I'm happy to say that I feel fairly good and I am brimming with gratitude for you all.
I am going to go out tonight and have a little drink to celebrate!π₯³ππ
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
