Hiatus Update

Current state of things

Hello everyone! I just wanted to be a bit more honest about the current state of the comic. Asterite and I have been working hard for a while getting pages laid out, script finalized and designs of things to come set up for the finalization of Arc 2. It was all going quite well! Well, until some IRL things hit me. Currently I have to put the comic on an indefinite hiatus until some IRL things are resolved.

I’m sure there are some immediate questions that come to people's mind. I’ll try to get them out of the way.

___

Q:“Does this mean the comic is dead?”

A:Currently, no? It’s just on a much longer hiatus than what I previously estimated.

Q:”When will the comic come back?”

A: Well there is a difference between posting pages and continuing production. As it stands, we will probably not be working on the comic for foreseeably 6 months if all things go smoothly…

Q: “What happened?”

A: I’d rather not answer, but my time will currently be taken up with other more pressing matters than the comic I’m sad to say.

Q: “Can Asterite work on it himself?”

A: This is a team project and Asterite is waiting patiently for me to return so we can work on it together.

Q: “What if you can’t come back to production in 6 months like you said?”

A: Then we will have to all just wait longer I guess?

___

Again I’m sorry for the prolonged hiatus. But I’m working towards trying to get things settled with an unexpected IRL issue as quickly as I can.

I truly enjoy working on this project and reading everyone's comments brings Asterite and I joy. I hope you all understand we don’t want to delay the project.

I’ll post something as soon as we get an update.

Until then~

Hey there @artistas-world

There are two ways to view the comic! Either on Tapas at:

Or you can view it here on tumblr! We have a comic book layout here

However it might be a bit harder on mobile, so tapas might work better if you're reading it there. Hope that helps! =)

Bismuth: I know kid, but based on what Steven said, and seeing Pearl like this? They were probably hit bythe rejuvenator and have been reset. They won’t be any good to us right now. Better to leave them like this. We have to prioritize. One crisis at a time.

Bismuth: Not gone, reset. This is a rejuvinator. It resets gems back to how they were originally made. So that’s what the Diamonds did... I knew those upper crusts were wretched, but to do this to one of their own? Disgraceful!

Connie: Do you think they were affected too?

[the-suit]

Hey there! I assume by merger you mean fusion. Sadly I cannot answer that as it would be spoiler territory! All I can say is stay tuned ^_^

Peridot: What do we do now?

Bismuth: *murmuring

Connie: Huh? Uh... Guys? Who is this?

Lapis: We were at Bismuth’s old forge. When we got back, we saw the Diamonds’ ship.

Bismuth: I have no idea...

Peridot: A Spinel?! What on Earth is going on?!?

Hi there @17-noodlebird​!

While we don't have any true motive revealed yet, it’s slightly implied that she thought Pink may have been rejuvenated as seen in page 09.

[the-suit]

Hey all! It’s been a while. I haven’t really updated you all as we didn’t have a date scheduled and I didn't want to keep hounding you all with “Coming soon!” messages.

But now we have a date!

We will be continuing the story on November 7th!!!

Hope to see you all then!
