Good afternoon, everyone! It’s update time!

Good afternoon, everyone! It’s update time!

I’m sorry I’ve not been as communicative as I had hoped to be during this brief hiatus. Truthfully, and I think I’ve mentioned this here not long ago, the progress on the next chapter is going significantly slower than anticipated, and frankly, I’ve been embarrassed to talk about it, so I’ve just…not been talking, and for that I apologize. To make things worse, virtually every panel is pretty spoiler-y, so I can’t even comfortably share process photos. It’s crummy.

As it stands, I’m about two panels shy from having the first two pages complete. For context, I would’ve guessed by this point I’d have 4-5 pages finished. Admittedly, there’ve been some external circumstances affecting my work schedule, but the truth is that these pages are simply a lot harder than I predicted they’d be.

That said, I’m planning to start posting JL8 again during the first week of August. I certainly won’t have nearly the buffer I hoped to build, but I told you all the hiatus would be about a month or so, and I want to stick to that. I’ll just do my best to get as much done in the interim as I’m able.

I’ll discuss this more in a separate post, as this is already pretty long, but I’ve also added a bunch of new sale items to my online store. If you have a few bucks to spare and see something you like, I could really use the assist. I’ll be shipping orders at the end of this week, so if you order now, the turnaround will be nice and speedy.

That covers it for today. Take care.
