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!

Follower page 8.23 status update (expected 9/21)

Follower page 8.23 status update (expected 9/21) published on No Comments on Follower page 8.23 status update (expected 9/21)

Hey Chio Crew! Here’s the status of the next page:

Thumbnails: 100%

Pencils: 20%

Ink: 0%

Flat color: 0%
Shading: 0%

Backgrounds: 0%

Expected update: now 9/21

I haven’t made much progress due to some Life Things happening unexpectedly at the end of the week, so that’s…complicating things. I’m bumping this page to 9/21 and hoping I can catch up from there. I’d like to finish this chapter by the end of 2024, but… we’ll see.

I always feel tremendously guilty for having to move update dates around, but I’m learning to prioritize my health and sometimes it’s hard. I really do appreciate all of you who are sticking with me despite my slow pace. It means a lot to me. 

My ability to work at all is highly variable day to day so making a webcomic with a schedule is remarkably difficult. At this point I’m thinking of taking Nov/Dec off from public posts so I can build my buffer again. I’ll make a better post on that at some point.

Anyway, thanks again for reading my rambling.
