Renegade - Chapter 2

This is the second chapter of Renegade. There were a few more pages sketched out but we stopped the comic for many reasons. Here is the text that went below the final page we posted.
This had to be one of the hardest decisions we’ve had to make, even harder for Michelle. The decision was made a few weeks ago, but finding the words to explain it has been difficult. The short story is: Effective immediately the Renegade story-line is coming to a premature end.
The frank reason is that continuing with the story no longer aligns with our goals. Our basic belief is to achieve maximum creativity one needs to be free to put all their energy into a project. Some days you can work a full time job and come home to put in a few more hours on a side project, but other days no amount of pep talk can inspire you to be creative at that point. In order to make this the main project that would mean having no more “day job” distraction.
In many ways we consider Renegade, Kit’s Story, and especially Taka’s Story to be successes. We have hundreds of people who visit every week and that’s a great feeling. We are constantly learning and improving and even having fun. However, where success has been lacking is progressing towards being able to do comics full time. In terms of financial success Renegade has been a big loser. I don’t mean to make it about “the money”, but it sure is hard to live without it.
Because connecting with you, our audience, has been such a big part of what makes comics fun for us it makes it doubly difficult to make a decision that will probably disappoint quite a few of you. We’re disappointed too and the decision wasn’t terribly easy to make, but our goal is a good one and if we succeed it will lead to even better things.
So Renegade is going into a dusty closet somewhere.
Thanks for reading!
