Good Bye New Dawn... (Patreon)

Another project ends, so it's time for another farewell. I'm a little sad now, but I'm not going to lie, I'm a lot more happier than sad. “Welcome to New Dawn” was an important project in many ways. Now I'll try the impossible and pour it into words what we feel now.

First of all, this was the longest comic we've done so far. Almost 100 pages! I can't believe it! I almost drew it for two years! Making this AND an erotic comic the same time, with four pages per month. It was quite an accomplishment for me.

Second, this was the first real adventure comic we made. I know it had a lot of “slice of life” elements, but I still think there were plenty of action and horror packed scenes. I want to make a lot of adventure comics in the future, and New Dawn showed a lot of things what works and what doesn't in adventure comics. Because we learn comic making in an autodidact way, we always have something new to learn from every comic. But we love learning things that could make the future projects even better!

And third, this project was especially important for me and my husband, because Estella and Evie are our very first, and most loved characters. I came up with Estella like 15 years ago, and my hubby created Evie I think 10 years ago. (The fact that we both made them cat/female/white without knowing each other is still an absolute baffling coincidence for me.) Even though they were our most loved characters, we could never come up with stories for them. And the idea, that we should put them together as a family, almost came from nowhere. But still to this day, it was one of our best ideas story and character wise. Two characters, so different from each other, so broken in their own way, creating something whole together. And the fact that we could properly present them and their story for you, and you guys loved them… It brings tears to our eyes.

A lot of you asked for a sequel. A lot of you want to see more from them, more from their past and future. And we have plenty of ideas and stories for them. If everything goes well in the future, it will be only a matter of time until you can see how their life progressed further. So the kittens' story is far from over, but we'll let them rest for a bit, because we have a lot of other characters and worlds to share with you. And a lot of stories to tell as well.

If we are already talking about other projects, it's time to talk about the next big one, and what comes after New Dawn. In January a new action-adventure comic will start called “The Tree of Life.” I'm sure a lot of you remember the title, because I've been talking a lot about in in the past. It will be a fantasy adventure, full of cool characters, action, darkness and blood. I've been dreaming and developing this story since I was a kid, but now, with my hubby, we turned it into something special. I've been waiting for this day a long time, and there is only a little bit of wait left until we can finally present you this dream story of mine. I'm really nervous and excited how you guys will like, because it will be a lot bigger than New Dawn! I'm sure you already saw a lot of Tree of Life characters, but I can't wait to finally show them to you as a whole, with their final design, look, and personality.

And for closure we want to thank you all the money, all the comments, all the encouragement, and all the kind words you guys gave us throughout the years. Without you, we wouldn't be anywhere. You are our motivation.

Thank you guys!
