Hi everyone. Here's an update for you regarding my work. I'm currently working on new chapters for Godsbane. I had submitted it to Viz Media to see if it would be picked up, but it wasn't. In the mean time, I was working on my next one-shot for Viz. With the results in, I'm going to be working on Godsbane fully independently, so I'll be starting up pages for it again.

@dreaming4u: Thank you! I try to take care with them. maybe too many details sometimes lol

@cicadashells: Thanks! It's gonna get more tense over time as Aros is asked to do even worse things. I don't know how he's gonna get himself out of the hole he's dug for himself.

Oh, also, I am moving house this month to a new apartment complex on the opposite end of the city mid-month. I'll also be attending SDCC a week after moving, so I expect to get back to work on Godsbane in August. While I've been freelancing, I've taken time to write out the next few chapters of Godsbane. So, I'm ready to hit the drawing board as soon as I get back from San Diego. Thanks all for your patience.
I also plan to have a special edition of the diary up, as I've also had limited time to work on that with as busy as I've been. I deeply apologize for my radio silence since April.

Thank you all so much for the 600 shelves for Godsbane over the weekend! I really appreciate the support while it's on a temporary hiatus due to freelance work. You're all amazing!

Hi all, April was a fantastic month, about 6400 reads and that was with only a single update to the Mangaka Diary! I'm going to be changing how I structure my releases in terms of access.
Currently, Godsbane is set to go live behind a paywall on May 29th (with a few pages free) for the first 7 DAYS. After seven days (June 5th) it will be free for all to read. As much as I love making manga, I'd like to start earning some income to turn back into Godsbane and travel to conventions.
That said, Diary of a Mangaka will remain totally free with zero paywal. The Okami Manga (that I have officially started work on the γγΌγ / name for) will also be 100% free.
If you donate to me, you will receive an access/promo code from me to get early access as well. I will make a more formal announcement later and forum post on my Godsbane manga to explain how it will work. It will also serve as a place to contact me if there are issues. I want to be sure people get what they are paying for, yk?
Thank you for the support. Please feel free to ask me questions.

Thank you all so much for your support in 2023, we amassed more than 42,000 page reads total with 36k+ of those going to Godsbane alone! Here's how Godsbane ranked in 2023:
#3 in Fantasy in all titles by indie creators
#3 in Manga in all titles by indie creators
#9 sitewide in all titles by indie creators
Other Godsbane 2023 stats:
- 36k Page reads
- I gained 338 followers
- Godsbane gained 363 favorites/shelves
- I got 17 comments
- Merged my Chapter 1 and 2 into a solid 85pg pilot (download the new versions if you purchased a PDF earlier this year).
I'm so proud of you and what I was able to accomplish in 2023 and I look forward to smashing stats in 2024 and being on the Most Popular in 2024 too. I have a lot of projects going on right now including Godsbane, a one-shot, and a new manga, called "Untitled Diary of a Mangaka". In the Mangaka Diary, I'll be talking about:
-my experience as a manga creator
-how I got into making manga
-my journey as an artist who started drawing at 18
-commentary on the art/comic/manga community
-general day-to-day life
I'm going to probably post that one once a month, so keep an eye out for that one in February, when it'll most likely make its debut. See you all soon!<br>

Thank you all so much for 350 followers! I'm hard at work on a new one shot and some updates for Godsbane! I've got the next update about half done, and I'll be posting a special release sometime in December with bonus art and a journey of how Godsbane came to be. Thank you for all your support, you're all amazing!

So good! The story and concepts are all interesting, and the art and character designs looks so awesome (Ohma's look is my personal fave). Really enjoyed going through this, and I can't wait for more of your work!

@ArcanNight Thank you very much! A lot of people really enjoyed Ohma as a character. imho she could be a fun protagonist too. I'm glad you enjoyed it. : )
