updates Wednesdays
News & Updates
First Sketch Wednesday of 2022! And maybe one of the last! There is one more page of chapter 7 left to go and then we’re possibly taking a week or two off to finish prep for 8. The plan is to move back to a regular weekly update schedule, so we’ll see how it goes! Come join the Chio Club to get an early look at what’s to come.
Chapter 8 of Follower is coming up soon, and there’s a new opportunity for you to join the ranks of the Cottontail Base Vloxen Geneticists and create your own Chio to cameo in the new chapter!
Commissions for custom Chio characters are now open on our Ko-Fi page and as a new tier on our Patreon! You’ll be able to customize your character’s name, fur, hair, and eye color, hairstyle, and personality, and I’ll work with you to come up with a character that’ll fit into the world of the comic. A short version of your character’s bio will be added to the cast page with a link to where to find them. You’ll also receive a full-body illustration of your character with reference data, as shown below!
When you become a Vloxen geneticist, you’ll also get special access to the Cottontail Base section of our Discord so you can discuss your upcoming cameo Chios in secret! You can also hang out in the regular parts of our Discord over here!
The base price for a cameo Chio is $50 for a single-page appearance, but for $150 your character will appear on at least 3 pages with the possibility of a speaking part. (Speaking parts are limited.) These commissions will close near the end of February to ensure there is time to design the character and get them into the comic!
For more details and terms, check out the commissions page on our Ko-Fi!
Ok, so maybe it’s a little bit early, but 2022 is gonna be a good year, it just has to be, right?! This is the last Sketch Wednesday for 2021, and one of the last overall! We’ve started work on Chapter 8, which you’ll be able to look in on if you join the Chio Club!
Follower is also part of this year’s itch.io Winter Sale! Come and get ALL of our comics and other stuff for 50% off, or just $10 for the whole bundle! We’ve been having a few rough weeks financially and itch.io sales support us pretty directly, so if you’ve been considering getting comics, this would really, really help us out! All of the Follower issues come with special side stories that aren’t available anywhere else, so you can get a little bit of extra story.
Thank you so much for reading and supporting our comics this year. It’s always humbling and special to realize that people enjoy and care about what we make. Here’s to a better 2022 for everyone! See you in the new year!
