Spring Updates!

Spring Updates! published on No Comments on Spring Updates!

Greetings Comic Readers! Spring has arrived at last (kinda) so it seems like a good time to make a post about what’s new in our world:

  • We had a great weekend at PIX, and wrote up a little report about our trip! Thanks again to all of our readers and Patreon backers for helping make this happen.
  • We were recently interviewed by Best Webcomics! It was fun to share some of our thoughts on making comics and how we work together as a team.
  • If you’re in or near the Western New York area, please check out our events schedule on Radiochio.com! In May, we’ll be part of a comic art gallery show in the city of Buffalo at Main Street Gallery, and we’ll be guests at Pulp 716 in the city of Lockport for a day, selling books and art in person! We hope you’ll come out and see us.
  • Our Patreon is still going strong! If you enjoy Follower, consider chipping in a buck or two to help us keep the lights on and keep making comics. All backers receive advance comic previews and extras from behind the scenes. Your support means a lot to us!

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading!

 

Come see us at PIX! and other news

Come see us at PIX! and other news published on No Comments on Come see us at PIX! and other news


We will be at the Pittsburgh Indy Comix Expo next Saturday, April 2! If you’re in the area please drop in and say hi! We will have copies of Follower #1 and 2, other mini comics and zines, prints, and sketch cards! Admission and parking are both free, and there will be tons of great comics folks there!

In other news, I am currently taking on commission work to help pay for some unexpected and necessary car repairs!

Here’s what I’m offering:

Bugbyte's Emergency Car Repair Commissions!

If you’ve ever wanted some art from me, now’s your chance! Send an email to bug [at] messenger-comic.com with details and I’ll get back to you. More details on availability and options are in this Deviantart journal.

I am also currently offering 10% off everything in my Gumroad shop with the code “carparts“! (No quotes.) Grab a comic and help me stay out of massive debt! This deal applies to the Follower books, too, so you can save some money and check out the bonus stories included in them!

Thanks for reading, and hopefully we’ll see some folks this weekend in Pittsburgh!

Stuff to Listen to! (Update: With Audition Information!)

Stuff to Listen to! (Update: With Audition Information!) published on No Comments on Stuff to Listen to! (Update: With Audition Information!)

Open your ears! We have a couple of new Follower-related audio things for your listening enjoyment!

The first comes from Jacinto and a few Follower readers, who surprised us recently with the beginnings of a Follower radio play! They’ve done the first bit of Chapter One, and we hope they’ll keep going because it’s a really good start!

The radio play is also currently seeking auditions for more characters, so they can continue making more episodes! If you’re interested in voicing a Follower character, here’s what you need to know:

Anyone interested should record dialogue from at least three consecutive pages of the comic that have the character speaking in every one (I will make exceptions for characters that haven’t had that much dialogue yet, like Wolzarski) Other characters lines can be played by another person, by text-to-speech software, or just omitted.

Submissions can either be shared with MoonsideBroadcastNetwork@gmail.com via Google Drive, or uploaded to a site like Youtube or Soundcloud and linked to us with this form. goo.gl/forms/h7eEU0tRnk Any file format will be accepted. Final date to submit TBD.

Also, I am opening up auditions for everyone except Richart (Since you liked Richart, and the actor has expressed a lot of enthusiasm for continuing the part, I’m going to keep him). Depending on how everything goes, I’m hoping to have a full episode recorded by the end of February.

Delade and I are both really excited about this, and really hope to see it continue, so please submit an audition if you think you can pull off a good Captain Bash or a perfect Dia!

Secondly, the first episode of our kinda-sorta-whenever Q&A podcast, Chio Chat, is now up! You can download or listen to it on Radiochio.com, our new project/portfolio hub site!

I'm decreasing my reliance on social media. Sign up for comic emails!
