Hello again to all Shale readers! So Sorry once again that I disappeared without a trace 😅I had some really dramatic family issues come up that stressed me out really bad and also that I more or less had to take care of myself along with school, so I found myself becoming very overwhelmed...Once again I'M NOT ABANDONING SHALE!!! The next page is almost done, and like I've said before I've lined all the previous pages from before, so it's just a matter of getting back into the flow of things! Thank you all <3

SHALE READERS:

Hey everyone!! I know I say this all the time, but sorry for the delay in the next update! I'm actually working really hard redrawing all the pages of Shale so they're better! Why am I doing this you ask? WELL. Physical copies of each chapter will soon be available via preorder and they'll be FILLED with additional side comics and extra content, as well as the updated pages. :)

(They may be available in a variety of languages such as Spanish and Portuguese, but I'm still working with the specifics of that! :) )

Examples of updated pages are below, too. The new pages are only lines right now, but they'll be in full color soon!

BELLY OF THE DOG READERS:

As for Belly of the Dog, I'm not ENTIRELY sure if I'll be continuing that comic (although I may, so don't unsubscribe just yet!!) However, I will most likely be doing an INTERACTIVE COMIC on my instagram featuring the main character Kevin.

Check my:

for updates!

Yay. Good Luck with your redrawing pages. <3 Could I just say something? It's more like a tip/hint. I think that it'd be better to use some specific fonts to use in the dialog instead of using a handmade one.

Thanks so much! That's one of the things I'll definitely be considering as I redo the pages :)

Hey all! Sorry for not updating last week. I finally finished finals!! It was a lot more catching up than I expected.....updates will continue as usual on Thursday, but may be a bit sporadic overall throughout the summer. :)

Thanks for holding on! <3

Hey everybody! Want to support Shale but unsure how? Now YOU can buy me a coffee for just 3 dollars!

What does this mean? It just means y'all are helping me afford rent and food. The next couple of months will be very tight for me and less stress means better quality for the comic.

Thank you everyone very much!! Once again I'm ecstatic about how many people are enjoying the comic so far. You all mean so much to me and your likes/comments really keep me going.

Once I'm on summer break, I will hopefully have more time to devote to the comic and less to worry about in my personal life. :)
