Art style update



So, I am learning Krita for reasons related to me being cheap, not wanting a subscription, and overall being resistant to change.  I decided to see if I could learn a new app called Krita. I've had to go back to drawing on my desktop as a result but I'm finding that I'm enjoying it again.  I'm impressed with Krita. I honestly like how frames work in this app better than Clip Studio. The only downside is that lettering is not that great. I'll see how well I can color in this app. I'm going to look at shortcuts, speed, and if the built-in brushes allow me to color in the same style.  The coloring style may or may not change depending on how easy this turns out.

This comic is discontinued

Sorry everyone 😔 

I've had some surprise events in recent weeks that is now making it obvious that I won't be able to work on this comic indefinitely.  I won't go into details but at this point I can't say when or if I will have time. It's been fun project.

Fletcher Cross Anthology

Hi,

I wanted to quickly let you all know that I drew a comic last year and it has a Kickstarter running right now. It would really help us out if you could share or support the project. 
Fletcher Cross

The Story

Fletcher Cross is an engineer at Day Industries working on their interdimensional travel machine, the Dimensionalizer. When Fletcher decides to test the machine before its completion, he is rocketed through the multiverse through dozens of dimensions, from horrible Lovecraftian worlds to universes of pirates and four-eyed fish. Will Fletcher find his way home, or will his arrogance keep him stranded in the multiverse?

The comic I drew was called The Tide
"If you want Lovecraftian beings being called at sacrificial altars, The Tide will right up your alley!"



Please support Fletcher Cross

Updates will be back October 2022

Yes, I know I said July, but so many things have been happening in my personal life since my last post. I haven't had time to work on the comic for the last 3 months. 

While i enjoy creating the comic I've been giving myself anxiety and frustration over how slow I am. Because of this I'm considering changing the comic from traditional page to a mix of prose and illustration or maybe just posting the line art.  

I have so many other stories I want to tell and this one because of is style, genre and overall complexity has no longer fit into the time I have available to make it.

Updates will be back July 2022

So, I've decided that I'm going to work on finishing the final part 2 of the comic before I start posting.  It's 30 more pages and I should be done by next year July. The momentum of the story picks up a lot in part 2. Delivering the completed story in the buffer will fit with my goal of updating faster. That way you can receive instant gratification from the story at a satisfying pace.

No updates for November

I'm going to be working on a different project for November. So there will be no updates for a while. I was thinking of doing a writing challenge that will take up all of the available time I have. But I've been procrastinating on trying a writing challenge for years and I want to do one. Wish me luck.
After much thought I think I'm just
going to continue drawing the Comic until I'm done. There is only about 30 more pages left and I
can domy own writing challenge once itis finished.
Thank you for reading,
​​​​​
Tiffany
