Follower updates! (In the making!)

December 6, 2023 bugbyte No Comments

Hey friends! It’s been a while since I’ve updated, so here I am, because I have one!

So, Follower has been on an extended hiatus while I’ve been dealing with health issues and pain problems, and I think I’ve finally made some progress dealing with all this. You can read more about it in the latest Chio Chronicles newsletter or in more detail on my personal Tumblr, but in either case, I’ve been feeling significantly better over the past couple days, to the point where my really problematic shoulder is practically normally usable again. I’m in disbelief and very, very happy about this development.

Anyway! I’ve been working on drawing, specifically on Follower updates, and assuming things continue in this way for the foreseeable future (I have no reason to think they won’t) I’m aiming for a return to regular updates February 1, 2024. I’m overshooting a little, I would have liked to start at the beginning of January, but I want to be realistic about my limitations. And this date could still change if I keep having trouble over the long term, but I feel like I’m finally on track to things starting to get better.

Thanks for continuing to stick with me despite how complicated and slow this has all been! I’ve been dying to draw for months and now I can and it’s absolutely wild. I can’t wait to get more pages done and posted! As usual, subbing to the Chio Club via Patreon or Ko-Fi will get you access to whatever I’m working on at the moment.

Thanks again for reading, and I’ll see you on February 1!!!!

Updates about updates and more

June 14, 2023 bugbyte No Comments

Hey all,

I’m a bit late on the last two pages because I’ve been having some health issue flare ups in the past few weeks that have made it tough to accomplish much drawing-wise. I’m doing my best to get back on track, and I’m aiming for next Wednesday for the next Follower update. I apologize for the unexpected break, but that’s how it goes sometimes, I guess.

I am also currently running a small fundraiser for web hosting costs for the year, as I’m not certain that I’m going to make it. This would take Follower and Messenger and generally all of my work offline, which would not be ideal. The past couple of months have been rough for me and I’ve had to dip into my small savings for health and medical related stuff, which hasn’t left me with much, so I’m a little worried about this. If you’re able and want to help out, you can check out my current goal on Ko-Fi. Please don’t feel obligated, especially if it would put you at a financial hardship yourself. But the reality is, this has been a difficult year and I’m struggling to keep this little project together, so I’m being upfront about it.

Thanks so much for reading, and I’ll do my best to have something together for next Wednesday! 💪✨

Chio Club Stickers Are Here!

April 11, 2023 bugbyte No Comments

The Sticker Club stickers have arrived! They’re nice sturdy matte vinyl, so you can stick ’em on basically anything. Get yours (along with extra rewards like early comic pages!) when you join the Chio Club Sticker tier!

The Chio Club Sticker Tier is $12/month (including shipping!) and you’ll get an exclusive unique sticker each month you’re subscribed! You’ll also get other rewards like behind the scenes stuff and early pages!

You can join via Patreon or Ko-Fi at http://chio.club!

This is an experiement still, so if nobody joins, the Sticker Club just won’t continue since it won’t be viable to keep going. The Chio Club directly keeps Follower (and my other comics) going by paying for webhosting, software updates & subscriptions, domain renewals, and more.

I’m really hoping at least a couple of folks join in so I can keep this going! If not, these are going into the proverbial vault until I figure out what else to do with them.
