Hey everyone, just popping in to say Sanity Within Dystopia's final bits of Chapter 6 are coming along again.
The short of it is -
Line art - Done.
Coloring and shading underway.
It's been a long, tough haul through winter and coming into Spring.
I think this has been the most challenging chapter by far, not just the work itself, but learning and growing with my best buddy and boyfriend through this project has been an experience, the ups, downs, twists and turns, the push and pull of creative synergy and conflict.
Despite everything, life, doubts and fears, we still manage to scrape ourselves off the pavement and recover enough to just make this thing together.
For what or why?
When hopes and dreams seem to be lost in a void of uncertainty-what really gets us through?
Passion, dedication, patience, trust - love.
An unbreakable connection.
And through that we'll continue to become better and better, I know it.
I'll be making comic progress updates and posting when I am doing streams on Tapas as well, but I do a lot more doodles/art and random ramblings at these places.
I know I also mentioned a Discord group I was working on for SWD and it's actually nearly ready this time (Ran into some technical issues with role assignments? I guess?) So hopefully I'll be posting a link to that here soon!
Now Streaming!
I'm back at it again with some shading on Chapter 6 Part 2.
I'll be chatting and maybe doing some random doodles again.

Hey friends and followers!
I am in the process of finishing up a Discord server for Sanity Within Dystopia where we'll be posting all kinds of garba-I mean treasures!
It'll also be a place to hang out and discuss and share ideas/art/whatever about the comic with others!
I'm most excited to finally share things that may be spoiler content, I have so much art that I never get to post because it's all just ideas that may or may not make it into the story, and I just love to share it!
I actually have it pretty much set, I'm just waiting until I am feeling better to set it public. I caught Covid and then got hit with severe allergies again. Big oof.
I'm still excited to put this public when I'm sure everything is sorted.
SWD UPDATE!
After a lot of discussion, back-and-forths, rewrites/redraws, and hammering out of extra details on future elements in the comic, thumbnails for Dystopia chapter 6 are done! In fact, there's so many pages (64, with covers), we've decided to split it all into two chapters!
Originally, chapter 5 was supposed to wrap up with some big reveals and a (hopefully) nail-biting cliffhanger, but it would've felt too rushed. We tried to contain it all in chapter 6, but instead decided to let our creative flow take its course. And we're pretty happy with what came out. Hope you all do, too! So, both to celebrate starting up the new pages, and maybe to get a few of you hyped, here's some non-specific previews from the thumbnails. See if you can spot the panels in future pages!
