Phantomarine will go on a decently long (maybe until Fall 2024) hiatus after this chapter finishes - we've got about 20 pages left, which will lead us into the spring.
For the hiatus I'm gonna keep it super flexible. No concrete plan or schedule this time. No formal call for guest art, no character asks. My goal this year is to rest as much as possible, so I will.
If you happen to make something Phanto-related (art, fanfic, music, whatever) and you really want me to share it in a post on the main site, you can DM it to me here or email it to me ([email protected]). You're more than welcome to use my little internet stage as you see fit.
I'll post various WIPs of the next chapter both here and on Patreon, just to show it's still coming. And I'll keep my inbox open here for any questions and discussions. We'll keep it organic.
The next chapter is the true start of the adventure, so don't you worry, I won't stay away for long. These dorks have a purple treasure to find...
This painting by Shade is just so beautifully emotive, and in the context of this chapter, it just feels so especially fitting. I鈥檓 so honored to have the opportunity to share it with you!
While we鈥檙e so often accustomed to seeing the Winter Soldier as a hardened assassin, I love this moment of self-awareness edging on humanity. I love the way Shade was able to render that lost soul of his breaking through the noise of the role he was forced to play for so long.
As always, Shade really crafted something incredible here, and I can鈥檛 thank her enough for allowing me to share this piece with you. Please check out her Twitter page to see more of her beautiful art!

I don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 possible to name a bigger downgrade than what they did to the tomas in stampede. that is literally just an emu. WHERE IS THE ANTEATER TONGUE.
