The story is undergoing re-construction. As it is, the story is way too long for my first project and I bit off more than I could chew, and I've been overwhelmed this whole time. I'm condensing it so it can be a project that gets finished. I know you have all been waiting forever, and as much as I feel guilty about that I need to finish this comic in a way that will make myself proud. And that's going to take some time.
Everything that's up right now will stay up until after I've started posting the new version. Even then, I may keep it up if people would like to look back on it. The chapters I haven't uploaded yet (for the first version) aren't going to ever be uploaded here because I don't want to build false hopes that this version will continue. But I can make a google docs folder with all of that content should anyone want to see it.
Until I have everything ready to go, I won't be active here. I'll check every once in a while but if you need to get a hold of me, it's best to visit my tumblr and shoot me an ask or private message, which is linked in my bio. I post work in progress pictures on my instagram story if you want to see how everything is coming along.
I think that's it. Thanks for sticking around this far and for the kind messages. It truly warms my heart to know that I have the potential to make things people enjoy. I hope to see many of the same faces (or usernames, in this case) when I upload the new storyline. If you have moved on by then, I genuinely wish you well all the same <3
Well, I support the idea of uploading the aborted version somewhere while you work on the rewrite. I'm curious about how far it went and on which direction.
I know, right? They so often portray the closest thing Olympus had to a somewhat nice guy as the Big Bad Evil Guy. (IIRC Hephestos was a close second, but don't quote me on it.)
Oh thats so kind of of you! I hope you are doing well too <3 I'm still working on the story, its going under some reconstruction haha thanks for checking in!
Hello everyone. Sorry, I haven’t been saying much. 2017 was pretty bad for me. I don’t think I’m ready to talk about why that is yet. I kept myself from saying anything because I didn’t know how to word it, but maybe it’s best that I just don’t for now. (Don’t worry though, I’m ok. Working through it, you know?) But I do want to be more active and try to have a more positive outlook on my art and my life.
So, if your still around for the story, awesome! Thanks for staying. Seriously, this has been a mad hiatus haha I don’t know when it’ll be up, but it’s going to have a lot all at once. Plus a giveaway. :)
Hey! Thank you very much for tipping during the event! With your help we raised a total of $14.61, AND you were the #4 tipper during the month of December! So take this badge as a token of my gratitude!
Hey, If anyone is curious about how the comic is going, here's a link to a post I made about it. It might answer some questions you have. See you later!
Lol, don't stress about speedy updates. Do what you got to do and do it when you want to do it. It's not like us readers are complete strangers to irl stuff sidetracking plans. :P
Hey guys, I still exist! I'm working on the comic still. It's taking longer than I thought. I'm making new chapters as well as updating the old (to make the format nicer). I'm getting a buffer ready so that when I get back I can stay back. That's the plan at least.
Thanks for sticking around! I'm close to 10,000 subscribers, and I'd like to do a little giveaway. I'm not rolling in the dough, but I can do a little something. :) The top 5 tippers this far will definitely get something if they want it, but the rest of you will still have a chance at something too :) I'll be back with the details once the mark is officially reached. Until then, take care!
Can I just admit that I am currently on my computer with multiple tabs open reading the comic while my phone plays videos so I can tip you :D (iTunes pretends my Visa Debit card doesn't exist "Your payment method was declined, please choose another method" or something like that)
Hope you all are doing well! This next chapter is coming along ok :) Not nearly as many setbacks this time. Except that I am sucking with hands more than usual. I've decided just to push through it and then go back and edit the hands later if I have the patience to do so haha It's definitely a subject I need to devote more time to practicing.
I don't have a specific date of when it'll be finished, but I just wanted to let you guys know how things were going. And it's going well. Here's a picture for the meantime!
*fangirling intensifies* seriously, everytime I see your comic I switch back to the 16-y-o version of me, and my heart just melts. They are so lovely! <3 <3 <3
@flaviadevita Omigosh thank you so much <333 I'm in love with your art and Hades&Persephone designs! I'm so excited to see the world you've created for them <3
I absolutly Love your hades and persephone comic !!!!! Please please finish it - it does Not matter how long it takes- take your time but please do not abandon it .
Best wishes and Thank you for your work xxx <3
(Iam sorry for my english- it is not my native langauge)
Thank you for the encouragement! <3 It means a lot to me to know there are people willing to wait for me to update :) I won't abandon this story, don't worry :) (Your English is great, by the way!)
Nope, my comic is not abandoned. I just keep having setbacks. Usually, they're technical setbacks (Things like saving over the wrong file and therefore losing a whole page... or realizing I drew something wrong...etc)
I work on it a little every day. Plus I have a day job and college courses. I'm a busy girl. :( I can't commit to set publishing times with the stupid schedule I have. I need to get better time-management skills or I'll be stuck in this endless cycle of slow publishing.
Tomorrow I'm taking finals and then I'll have until Jan 3rd before I go back to classes. I'm hoping to finish the next update while I have the time off from school. Which, I'm confident I can do, unless I get really unlucky. I appreciate the encouragement and feedback I've been getting! <3 Seriously, you are so patient. Thank you.
This next update is going to be really long, and I'm worried it won't load well for people. I might split it in two but I feel that would mess with the flow... I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
I know a few of you are worried that I'm going to give up and abandon this story. The thought hasn't crossed my mind. Sometimes I doubt in my abilities to make a good story, but I've never doubted that I would finish it. Unless I die or something terrible. Let's bank that I won't die for a while though haha
Thanks to all of you!<3 Tapastic doesn't have a reply individually button :( But I'll make sure to take good care of myself! And I did great on all my finals :) I'm ready to focus on the comic! :)
