I just finished chapter 15 of my comic adaptation of The Hobbit! It is the first of our “finale” chapters, and is 20 pages long, so it’s twice as long as the chapters I usually draw, and the art has grown more detailed and elaborate. It is very exciting and I am excited to post it! Tho It did indeed take time

Chapter 14 will arrive on August 13th, and the double-sized Chapter 15 will arrive on September 13th!

Chapter 16 will tentatively arrive on November 13th, but is such a Big One I don’t think I can promise that 😂

In the meantime I may continue posting out of context drawings on this blog, but I don’t want to ‘spoil’ everything before it comes out! :D

Also this is what I mean when I say that, if I published at a “normal webcomic pace—one page per week—no one would ever ask me if I was on hiatus XD…if I split the 30 pages of these next chapters into a weekly posting schedule, I would post 1 page a week consistently for 6 months. Instead I am posting two large batch updates over the course of 2 months, which would amount to about 4 a week, because I am a very silly stubborn person.*

(*the real reason I like the large batch updates is because I enjoy updates that feel like a completed chunk of story, and when I read webcomics I think it’s easier to leave comments on ones that publish that way. It’s hard to find something to say about every single solitary page of a comic, but it’s easier to find things to say about an entire chapter, and when you know updates arent super frequent it’s easier to motivate yourself to say something. I personally am willing to accept “”less engagement””” overall if people who are invested are more likely to leave nice comments every chapter haha 😂. )

But yeah! Get hype
