Hello, I come to you guys.... coming down from a high.
Should tell you whats going on... the same song and dance. I'm still working on Royal Vol 1, I was talked out of doing the new prologue because it seemed too out there for the first book that, honestly, doesnt kick off the story yet. that and i might do a vol 0.
Two, Current Royal....... blame this, (Points and gives a shunning glare to a video game called Grounded, the beans especially) I got this game for my 30th birthday which was September 8th and... since i been feeling overwhelmed and anxious. that major change is a slow one that im getting pissed off at my dad about. the game really helped with letting me unwind.
Now, whats been happening. so i have 2 finished pages and several unfinished pages I have been sitting on. only reason i started working on it right now is because im bored, no ones online and im high. that and I want this chapter done... the planned story is slowly revealing itself and theres one character im really excited to get to.
Any complaints about how i introduced too many characters, its a school. and something else below...
Well, imma head out for now, this is just a "I'm not dead!" update

Yo! Once again, I have no Royal pages... partly because im still working on Vol 1. i finished formatting the panels, i just need to fix some things.
The physical version will not be in colour... well not entirely. The newer pages I am working on have these new... kinda coloured pages.
The other reason this Vol 1 is taking so long is due to me creating a new prologue. the original prologue will still be there but it is being added to. this new prologue will only be in the physical copies.
The new prologue goes with what the story has eventually turned into because when i first started Royal in 2017, I had no real plot to follow. Junior was just a regular guy that could do magic and this comic was going to be episodic misadventures of some kind. Now, Junior is unknowingly something everyone wants and thats where the story is going.
I plan to finish off chapter 6 before posting any pages so bare with me...(again...)

I see the last time i posted a Royal Page was in may, Im ashamed, i even more ashamed that I cant come off my hiatus yet.
Something very very lifechanging is coming my way and the stress is killing me, I'm still working on Pages but my main priority has been formatting the first 4 volumes cause printing is soon.

You got this, Crystal!
thanks QAQ i also realised i mixed up volumes and chapters again...
IM ALIVE! hello, still on that hiatus but just checking in to say hello and how are you? XD
gonna call another hiatus due to burnout. I'll be back, Don't know when but it will be this year.
Crystal didn't make any more buffer!But not to worry, the page will infact go up tomorrow... what happened? Wurthering waves... and also she got distracted by hyperfixation! and what was it? a selfish mod for Mario 64 PC port/CoopDX.
MORE WAYS TO TORTURE JUNIOR!!
MORE WAYS TO TORTURE JUNIOR!!
my last buffer page goes up today. now the timer ticks. expect fluctuating updates after today, i'll try to keep up.
So this friday is the 200th episode of Royal... and the page it lands on is really fitting for a couple of reasons i cant say yet. XD
I officially have a buffer all the way til the end of april, maybe i'll get Chapter 6 done by then, especially as more of the story is showing itself to me.
its been a bit, howsit goin my frens!?
so UPDATE. I have recently started to work on chapter 2 for the printed version. I will admit, i changed dialogue and edited some panels to have the story make more sense cause i'll admit i was a dumb 23 year old when i was working on chapter 2. so expect the physical version to have differences not found in the online version.
I have also opted to remove some cameos since I either have no contact with the character's owners anymore or I just don't wanna deal with the legal hassle.
As for chapter 6, been slow on the draw but at least its not as bad as i thought. i have two pages completed, one needs a panel finished and the lettering, another that needs to be finished lined and coloured, one that needs lettering and 7 sketched out. that's 13 pages in.... 4 months... but hey, at least chapter 6 is almost finished and there is a certain character i want to debut really bad so i been more motivated to work on it so expect more and if i don't, GET ON MY ASS ABOUT IT XDD
