OH HI. So, it's been a minute, and a lot (A LOT) has happened since I last posted.
I've been juggling a couple of large projects, processing the pandemic/transition to work-from-home, and then trying to be quiet and let others speak during the BLM protests. Long story short, I didn't feel it was the right time to do a lot of self-promotion. As a result, Starseeking went on a sort of...unofficial hiatus.
It was my new years' resolution to finish this comic back in January, and I feel a lot of guilt that I've let it languish. However, the idea of promotions/updates on multiple platforms feels like more than I'm game for right now, frankly. So here's my compromise:
Starseeking will update sporadically on its official website. (Starseekingcomic.com) As I finish pages, I'll put them up, but without any fanfare. When the story ends, I'll have a PDF available for download, and I'll promote THAT widely, across all my platforms.
I'd like to keep posting here on Tapas, and I'm still open to it in the future. But for now, starseekingcomic.com is where you can read new pages. Aaaaand if you peek today...everything I've drawn, all the pages I've banked thus far, are live online! Right now!
Thanks again, as always, for your readership and support. xo
WHOA so like a few hundred of you have started reading in the last few...days? Hello! Welcome. Please tell me how you found me, as I'm genuinely curious. CSUF? Stardew? Celebrity Reblog?
Right now the story is mid-way through the second act. I'm currently trying to finish it up and draw act 3, but it's happening in pieces in between day jobs. (I direct for TV animation and am just ending one show and starting the next.)
You can find out more about what I do on my website (annewalkerfarrell.com) as well as my twitter (@lemurmcfemur) and insta (@anne.walker83)
Hey guys, quick update - the starseeking website is up and running! (www.starseekingcomic.com)
You can, of course, still read the comic here, but the site has some character and worldbuilding pages if you're interested, as well as a FAQ about who the hell I am. Check it out!
Good morning Tapas! Today is the final update of Starseeking before we go on hiatus, so be sure to check it out! And if you need to catch up on any episodes you missed, now is a great time to do that too.
Starseeking will return with ALL NEW UPDATES August 22!
Happy 4th to my readers in the U.S. and enjoy summer break everyone! See you all in August.
Hey all! I realized it's been a while since I've updated anything here. (In case you haven't noticed, for those of us living in the US it's...a bit of a rough one out there right now. Erk.) Making comics can seem kind of frivolous, but I do it for the same reason I make cartoons for a living: in the hopes that it gives someone a boost. Or is cathartic. Or hell, is even just somebody's welcome distraction (which is, frankly, something I could use right now.)
I want to thank everyone who's read, subscribed, liked, or left kind words for me! I am a tenderhearted animation&comics grandmother and knowing people dig the story I'm telling motivates me in a huge way.
Right now, we're almost to a good stopping point...kind of a commercial break, if you will. In a couple of weeks Starseeking is going to go on a 6-week hiatus while I get some things in order, but don't be alarmed! You can always find more behind the scenes goodies on Instagram and Facebook (@starseekingcomic) and on Tumblr (starseekingcomic.tumblr.com). And I welcome your notes and feedback! I welcome fanart! Wanna send me a thing? I will POST AND LOVE THAT THING. (within reason, please dear lord do not send me porn.)
I'll have more updates soon...in the meantime, enjoy today's update and thanks for stopping by! xo
