Hello! Indigo here! I'm the creator of The Black Belt Society comic, something I've been wanting to create for a long time now. I've been drawing pretty much my entire life and writing stories for about 10 years.
I hope to earn an audience who can enjoy my creations with me. I want to make people smile when they think my of work! So I hope you stick around!
Thanks for reading!

Hi Everyone!
Indigo here, back with another
monthly update.

Maybe I should make these bi-annual
updates since I'm so inconsistent.
Anyway, I'm happy to announce that
The Black Belt Society is returning to Tapas!
On August 29th at 4:00 pm
CST (2:00 PST) the first few pages
and the covers are going to be posted.
Thank you to everyone who's stuck
around and been patient with me!
All else I can say is to follow The
Black Belt Society instagram
account for additional art as
I have some things planned.

Thanks for reading and
I'll talk to you guys later!

Hi Everyone!
Indigo here, back with another
monthly update.

Happy New Year!
I know, I know, it's been a
significant amount of time since I last
updated but I have a good reason for it.
In October, I did Drawtober and that
left me creatively drained, so I was quiet
during November. And then the holidays,
Thanksgiving and Christmas, took up
most of my time at the end of the year.
I even meant for this to come out last
week, but I continue to stay busy. Now
I'm back with updates on the progress
of a few things: The QnA I plan to start
sketching and drawing next month.
Chapter 6 is the sketching phase. I'm in
the process of developing the extra
chapter thumbnails. I kept going back
and forth on the chapter extra, but I
think it'll be worth the wait. But the most
important update is that I've started
getting pages together to print the first
volume chapters into a graphic novel!
It will take a while since the printing
process involves a lot of prep. But I'll
do giveaway for first run copies and
then sell a few copies on like an Etsy
storefront or something similar. But
that's all for right now!

Thanks for reading and
I'll talk to you guys later!

Hey, IndigoShirtProd! Because you tipped for Inksgiving, you get a shout out and thank you from one of my three main characters of your choice! Which would you like? :)

Hi Everyone!
Indigo here, back with another
monthly update.

I have been gone for a bit,
you know being busy and forgetful.
But I wanted to come on here before
the end of the month to announce the
halloween special that's coming out on
the 31st! Between making the special
and the Drawtober challenge I did this
year, I just haven't had time to keep
things updated, so sorry about that.
Further news, after the special is
uploaded, I'll be going back to working
on my other planned chapters and
making some extra content. I still
want to do a QnA for the characters
and for me as the creator. If you have
anything that you want answered, leave a
question below, and I'll add it to the list!
Things are going to be pretty quiet on
here for awhile so if you have any ideas
of what I can post in the mean time or if
you have made a fanart of the comic, you
can pm me here on Tapas or dm me on
either of my instagram accounts.

Thanks for reading and
I'll talk to you guys later!

Hi Everyone!
Indigo here, back with another
monthly update.

Okay, so... I've been doing some reevaluating
of things during my time away. Don't worry,
I'm not giving up on the comic or anything, but
things going on in my personal life mean I
won't be able to devote as much time as I
would like. Case in point, not having the time
to prep files to make them into a book. I don't
think I'll be able to put that out this year, so
look forward to it next year. I'm about halfway
through thumbnailing that extra chapter I
mentioned previously, but it's turning out to be
much longer than I expected. I decided I'm
going to split the release in two. The first part
will come before the next volume and the second
part will come out before the third volume. It's
a bit of a spoilery chapter, but nothing to really
affect reading the base story. This also means it
won't come out in the next couple of months,
maybe around Christmas or New Years. Let's
get on with some good news. I'm pretty far
along with the thumbnails for chapter 6 of the
next volume, I should actually finish them this
weekend. I should be able to start sketching
pages next month. Lastly, I still want to do a
QnA, to mark the end of the volume, I just need
more questions. So, please feel free to ask
questions of me and of the characters. Thanks!
Also, would you want to see a character sheet
of each of the main characters with their volume
2 designs? I can explain some info about the
characters like their full names, family, etc.
Just leave a comment if you're interested!

Thanks for reading and
I'll talk to you guys later!

Hi Everyone!
Indigo here, back with another
monthly update.

The first volume is over!
Again, I want to thank all of my
readers for sticking with me through
all the long hiatuses to finally get
to the end of The Trials Arc. So, a few
things to discuss: What's next. Well,
another long break so that I can build a
buffer for the next volume. I already have
all the scripts for the next five chapters
completed, it's just a matter of making the
actual pages. But in the mean time, I'll be
releasing an extra chapter set about
two years before the story began. That extra
will probably start coming out in the next
2-3 months. Next on the list, a QnA!
I want to do big end of volume blowout
QnA where I'll answer questions about
the series and also have characters
answer questions as well! If you have
anything you want to ask me or the
character please leave a comment below.
Last order of business, giveaway or kickstarter?
I want to do both. I want to try to do a
kickstarter and if it falls through in one way or
the other, then I can do a giveaway for a couple
of fans. I think that's all for right now. Please
leave as many questions as you want for the
QnA below. I'll be compiling them and making
a list of the ones I can answer.

"*O* If you do a Kickstarter, I'd totally support it (did I reply before? Sometimes I THINK I've replied and in reality I just thought the thing XD Too much-or little-rattling around in this head).

Questions: When did you first come up with this idea? What are some of your inspirations?

Um...let's see...will we have a flashback with how the gang met Erica? Is Inu gone for good? (or is that a spoiler) What's your favorite anime or manga (if you read, which I presume you do, but presumptions are like assumptions only spelled different XD)?

I really enjoy your comic! Thank you for sharing your work with the world!" Original comment by Blue Dragon

Hi Everyone!
Indigo here, back with another
monthly update.

So this update is going to be a shorter one,
just because there's not much to say.
I did have an update ready to go up
yesterday, but I decided to move to next
week just to let you guys be aware of the
incoming update. Other than that, I'm still
open to suggesting to the book after it's
printed; giveaway, kickstarter, etc.

Thanks for reading and
I'll talk to you guys later!

Comment from Blue Dragon"OMG! It always takes me a while to circle back. Yes! I would 100% support a Kickstarter for The Black Belt Society!

*since it takes me a while to check in, a direct message if/when the Kickstarter begins would be helpful-I know that's asking a lot of people, but if you do this I don't want to miss out!

I'm pretty pretty open when it comes to goodies :D I'm usually happy with whatever :P (that's my unhelpful input XD I do like buttons for my backpack, but I don't know if that's something most kids these days go for XD."

Hi Everyone!
Indigo here, back with another
monthly update.

Sorry there wasn't a February
update; I wanted to post one,
but I got busy over the past
couple of weekends. Anyway, if
you follow me as @the_bbs_comic
on Instagram, you would've
already seen one of the pages
I've been working one for the next
batch. You also would've seen
some extra character art, so
please do follow me over there.
I'll try to keep it as active as
possible. But anyway and more
importantly, I've been working
on pages (example below)! I've
gotten about 4 fully sketched
which leaves about 10 more to do.
Looking at a possible time frame
for completion and uploading them:
I'd say, mid to late April. I'll keep
you guys futher updated in the future!

That's all I have for now!

Thanks for reading and
I'll talk to you guys later!

Hi Everyone!
Indigo here, back with another
monthly update.

This is another good news,
bad news situations.
Next week will be the final episode
of this batch of pages, but there's
still a little of chapter 5 left. I've
already started working on the
next batch of pages but I'm only
in the sketching phase. In other news,
I've made an instagram account
completely devoted to The Black Belt
Society! you can find it as
@the_bbs_comic. There, I'll be
posting updates on the comic,
behind-the-scenes stuff, and extra
art of the characters. I just opened
the account about a week ago, so
there's not much on it. But if you
want to follow, I have a link in my
profile or you can just search up
@the_bbs_comic on Insta.
That's all I have for now!

Thanks for reading and
I'll talk to you guys later!
