Temporary Hiatus – Damaged Wrists

Mostly all explained up above.

EDIT: Saturday Jan 24: I'm working on the next page now, and I think I should be good to update next week. It's a bit slow, but manageable, yay!

Yeah, I dun fucked up. For most people, falling on your wrists aren't a huge setback, but for me, it is. Years and years ago, I did a team lift without enough team. I hurt my wrists, so badly I couldn't work. I already struggled with RSIs in both my forearms from a previous job, and with my damaged wrists I couldn't do physio. I spent years - literally - out of work while I saw doctors and specialists and got xrays and MRIs about my wrists and in the end, they said "There's soft tissue damage, we can't see it. We can't fix it, this is your new normal, get used to it."

So I did. I've done lots of physio and I've worked really hard to get to where I am now. Or where I was, at least. I gave up hobbies. I focused on the ones I could do, and paced myself and slowly, slowly, I got to the point where I could do the comic.

I feel... man, my arms hurt. Typing this hurts. Shooting pains up my forearm, but I don't know how long this filler is going to be up here, so I don't want to leave people in the dark. I hope for just a week. Maybe two, tops. I'm gonna be devastated if it's longer than that. I love making my comic. 

I refuse to abandon it. I will get better. Unchosen Star will be back, I promise. But I can't draw if I don't rest, so I'm going to be good, and go rest.

Thanks everyone for support. <3

Exodus almost complete!

We are nearing the end of chapter 1! Just a few more pages. 

When I started publishing online, I had a buffer of 8 pages. My buffer is down to slightly less than 2, and I really hope I can keep up without missing any updates before the end. Comics are a lot of work!

Once Chapter 1 is complete, I’ll be taking a couple months off to rebuild my buffer before I start posting chapter 2. Draft 1 of chapter 2 is done, just doing some fine tuning and planning and storyboarding.

I have a vague plan to tell a side story of some sort during the hiatus, something sketchy and easy to draw. My favourite webcomic, Skin Deep, does Reader Questions, but I honestly don’t think I have A, enough readers to be able to fill updates with, and B, enough content to spark questions I can answer that isn’t already planned to be revealed in-universe! I could post art of some aliens I’ve designed but I’m torn between sharing them early, and waiting to reveal them over time in the story! It’s hard! I have so much planned! 

Thank you to everyone that has joined me so far, I appreciate each and every one of you!
