Hey all. Unfortunately the colorist for Centralia had to quit suddenly for personal reasons, and as such I'm going to have to pause the comic while I travel for the holidays and resume looking for a new colorist. Thanks for your patience while I work it out.

PS this is NOT announcing a hiatus, I'll be doing my best to quickly get the train back on the rails but unfortunately this all happened right before I'm due to be travelling for a week.

It's alright! We will still be here waiting (though I am sad about the pause because I love you and your story xD)! I hope you manage to find a colourist (good luck! <3), and also hope you have a wonderful holiday!! <3 <3

Hi folks!

It's been a little bit since chapter 5 wrapped up, so I wanted to come by with an update on chapter 6's progress. After polishing up chapter 6's script throughout October, I'm now in the process of designing the cover art and first few pages. Which means, you can expect to see a return to Centralia around the end of the month! ⸜( ˙˘˙)⸝

I'm very excited to delve into this next chapter and can't wait to see what you think! It's going to be quite the dramatic shift as Midori comes up against some of her biggest challenges yet.

Also, I've set up a shop page on Centralia's Ko-Fi page, which you can find at https://ko-fi.com/centralia/shop !

Thank you as always for your support and readership! I'll see you soon for chapter 6!

Hi all!

Some of you have been wondering about the comic’s updates and chapter 5’s progress. I admit I’m not super great about reporting my progress, mostly because I only like to show up with good news. So, I’d like to improve that.

I'm still hard at work on the remaining pages of chapter 5, rest assured! Admittedly this chapter has really been kicking my ass, and finishing it has been a much bigger challenge than I had anticipated. The current, actual dystopian world we’re living in has crushed a lot of my and my peers’ artistic and creative energy, and it seems that there’s no amount of self-care that can restore it completely right now. So I’ve been pushing through, but it’s been a real struggle. I find myself in a weird space where the me who wrote and roughed out this chapter is a lot different from the me who’s tasked with finishing it. Sometimes I wonder if the present me forgot how to draw. It’s a weird space to occupy. All I can ask is that you bear with me while I get the work done.

Thanks to everyone who reads and enjoys Centralia, who leaves their thoughts and comments, and who support the comic on Ko-Fi! Some days I don’t feel deserving of such support given how painfully slow I’ve been working. But if you’re willing to stick it through with me, then I owe it to you guys to keep trying, even if it’s really hard right now.

Thank you as always,
-Michelle

Hey all! Want to give a BIG thank you to everyone who sent ink to Centralia for InksGiving!! <3 I was travelling during that time, so I'm late to respond. (´・ω・`) But it was a really nice thing to come back to, and I'm honored you chose Centralia to send your ink to. <3 Thank you!!
