Follower on break

Follower on break published on No Comments on Follower on break

Hey Chio Crew! I have an update for you about…updates. How novel!

As of right now, I am planning on taking a break from public-facing updates for Follower until January 2025. I’ve had a lot of life things going on that stressed me to the limit and sent me into a pain flare that I’ve been having difficulty recovering from, much less getting pages done, and the situation just kinda snowballed, unfortunately.

I’m using the time between now and then to buffer as many pages as I can get done in that time, so that I can hopefully work a little more smoothly and have a little more breathing room in 2025.

I’ll still be posting things as I work on them to the Chio Club on Patreon and Ko-Fi for members of $1 or more.

In other news, I am also planning to discontinue updates to Twitter. You can find all the platforms I’m actively posting on at radiochio, and you can also join me on Bluesky where I’m currently posting quite a lot: https://bsky.app/profile/radiochio.bsky.social

Anyway, that’s all I have for now. Follow me…wherever…for updates on the comic’s return, or subscribe to emails to get updates sent to you there.

Thanks for reading!

I put up the latest bit of progress on the next page for Chio Club folks to check out, along with a bit of description for what’s been going on in my life lately. The short version is, I’m being sabotaged by my own body again after I failed to anticipate how fatigued and in pain I would be after some medical tests.

I am working on finishing the page, and still trying to figure out the best way to keep comic updates relatively sustainable and flexible despite stuff like this happening. I’ll post again when I have something more substantial to say about it. I’m mainly just frustrated with myself, even though these are things that are mostly out of my control. It’s kinda demoralizing, especially when I’ve got folks who support me by continuing to read and love the story, or through the Chio Club, or in other ways. I don’t want to let anyone down!

It’s like every time I start to make progress the universe knocks me flat on my ass. I remain undaunted, or perhaps just stupid.

Either way, you can check out the page-in-progress and attached rambling on either Patreon or Ko-Fi:

Anyway, thank you so much for continuing to read our comic even though I can only work at a snail’s pace these days. It keeps me going. <3

Follower updates!

Follower updates! (In the making!)

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!!!!
