And that’s the end of the scene! 😀 Not gonna lie, I’ve been looking forward to this page for a LONG time.
We’ll be cutting away for a few pages, but this isn’t the end of Pogo and Samsid’s lovely evening. But since it’s a scene break, I’m going to go ahead and take my off week this coming Monday. During that time, I’ll be trying to get as far ahead on Merritt’s Story edits as possible (full chapter 1 is going up this Thursday, following last week’s intro!), and some other DOTU odds and ends. I need to do some environment design for the next scene, and I’ve *gasp* run out of thumbnails, so I need to do more of those too. Next page will be Monday 4/16!
Speaking of scheduling, I have some good news and some less good news. At the end of March, we met the Patreon milestone goal for 3 pages per month, so there will be 3 pages this April! The less good news – we met the goal, then we un-met the goal two days later, then we met the goal again 2 days later, then payment processing day wiped out 12 pledges so now we’re back below the goal. Some of those pledges will probably be fixed, but we’ll need to meet the goal again to get 3 pages from May onward. This is pretty typical for when the total is in a close range of the latest goal. As long as we keep growing, that goal will become more stable. The next goal after this is pretty far away, so I’m also going to try to come up with some fun intermediary goals I can add along the way.
New Top Webcomics voting incentive! So, sometimes when I do my quarterly Patreon sketches that I mail out to Sketch Tier patrons, I sneak in concept sketches of upcoming scenes in the comic. I did one such sketch for this scene, panel 3, way back in September 2016. So that concept sketch is the new voting incentive.
