During the month of November, Follower will be taking a break – but we’re looking for guest art! See this news post for more information.
November Break & Call for Guest Posts
Follower will be taking a break for the month of November, returning to its normal schedule on December 6. Patreon posts will continue as usual and supporters will still get access to early pages and regular rewards. I am planning to use this time to finish the artwork for chapter 5, and work together with Delade on writing the script for the next chapter. I’m also hoping this will also afford me some time to catch up properly on Messenger and other projects before the end of 2017.
During the break, I’d love to put up some guest posts – including fan art, fiction, or whatever else you can come up with, as long as it’s Follower-related! Please email it to bug [at] messenger-comic.com. Don’t forget to let me know what name you’d like to be credited with, and a link to your website if you have one.
In the meantime, you can check out any of the following places for more updates or to chat with other readers:
Last call for Create a Chio! (With new options!)
We’re officially halfway through this chapter of Follower, and there are opportunities on almost every page up until the end for character cameos! I’ve added an extra pricing tier for a smaller cameo appearance on just one page at a lower rate. If you’d like to leave your mark on Follower as a Vloxen/Chio geneticist, check out this page or leave a comment for more information!
It’s that time of year again! No, not Chiomas! I’m currently looking to cover my 2017 webhosting, which includes Follower, Messenger, and Radio Chio. If you contribute anything to my Ko-Fi, I’ll send you a thank you Chio doodle in return! You can also contribute via Patreon or buying something from the shop, but those come with their own rewards.
As always, sharing Follower with your friends is much appreciated! The best way to help support the comic is to help it find new readers.
Summer Schedule Madness
It’s been sort of an unpredictable summer for us so far, so I thought it would be time for a minor schedule update. Follower is postponed-ish for this week, as I’m currently going between some extra freelance work and a bunch of comics-related, but not Follower comics-related projects with upcoming deadlines. Thankfully, all of that will be out of the way within the next few weeks. Follower will return on its regular day next week, and I’m planning to make up the missing page as soon as possible.
That said, Patreon backers will get the first look at new Follower material as it’s made. Our Patreon has converted to immediate charge, so you can pay immediately and gain access to our back catalog of rewards like wallpapers and other extras. $1 goes a long way to helping us keep making comics and is always appreciated if you like what we do!
Starting in August, I’m also going to be posting weekly #ThrowbackThursday wallpapers featuring Chios and Messenger characters. These wallpapers were originally PayPal donation rewards circa 2010, and there are at least a few that I know no one downloaded at the time, so that’s a bonus! I’ve already queued these up, and they run from the first week of August to the first week of November, and unlike regular monthly wallpapers, these will be available to all patrons pledging at least $1!
August is always a tight month for us because web hosting for the year is due, so if you enjoy Follower, Messenger, or our other comics, please consider chipping in via Patreon or Ko-Fi, or purchasing something from our shop.
