Hello! I'm always thinking of new stories and new adventures, so I'm trying to share them with more people! I still have a lot to learn, but I'll do my best!
And we're back again! How ya doing? Hope you're taking care of yourself well! I'm happy to announce Chapter 28 of Pages Away is ready to read! And oh boy, it is an... interesting rollercoaster (っº-ºς) (well, when hasn't it been really...)
I'm actually a bit proud of the art this time! It has a few panels I'm still salty about, but many that turned out better than the sketch, so it's a win on my book!
By the way, I've been thinking of making a patreon (again, but we don't talk about that (ᴗ_ᴗ。)), mostly to share stuff like the chapter scripts! I usually write a lot of versions for one chapter, so maybe that would be cool to share! Still, I'm only thinking about it for now, so do let me know if you have any thoughts!
Either way, thank you with all my heart for reading my comic and being here with me, it means a lot! Take care of yourself and stay hydrated, lovely bean! I'll be seeing you somewhere sometime!(˶ᵔᗜᵔ˶)ノ゙
Honestly, I still can't believe it (⊙ˍ⊙) The idea of Pages Away started abruptly, I had always wanted to make a comic but kept pushing it away because "I don't know how to draw backgrounds", "I'll wait until I learn more anatomy", and lot more excuses. Until one day I just said "Ah whatever, if it goes wrong, it goes wrong,"
And here we are! I can't even begin to explain how happy it makes me that so many people like my comic! Your comments are always my favorite part of posting a new chapter, the reason to beat my procrastination and keep drawing (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)
So thank you for being here, I hope we can share plenty more happy moments in the future!
(Obs.: I got my Instagram account again! You can see a lil speedart of this piece there and on YT (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧)
Welcome back to another update◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜! Hope you're doing great wherever you are (and if you're going through summer like me, I hope the weather gets cooler soon (╥ᆺ╥;))
There's not much to say about the making of this chapter, just the usual "I have no idea what I'm doing but I'll keep going anyway".
If anything, the script was too long this time, so I had to cut one specific part, but chances are that I'll place it in the next chapter somehow.
(I really hate cutting out scenes ՞߹ - ߹՞... If I ever write a Pages Away book, expect at least 1000 pages, there are a lot of mostly useless scenes I didn't get the chance to draw lol)
Anyway, I'm excited to hear your thoughts and what you think will happen next! If all goes well, chapter 28 will be my next favorite part of the story hehe~
Stay safe, hopeful and hydrated, and I'll be seeing you sometime again!⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
If no one said this to you yet, let me tell you just how lovely and cute you are! I may not have chocolate or flowers, but I got you some nice gifts for this day! (after I forgot to do it last year haha...)
For starters, how about a (mostly) wholesome playlist to listen to? I love music, so I've been wanting to do this for a while! Oh, and if you have more songs that feel right for these two, I'm putting the template over on my tumblr (@dfnanda), so feel free to make your own playlist! (and sharing is caring hehe~)
I also posted a new animatic short on my YT channel, I think it looks quite cute ദ്ദി◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ
Aaaand Chapter 27 should be done in a few days too soooo (•ᴗ-)✧ Hope you have a wonderful weekend and I'll be seeing you very soon!
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, folks! I'm happy to announce the newest Chap is out and ready to read~ The production for this one was kinda fast, right? This year I want to try posting as many chapters as I can, we are slowly starting to unravel some mysteries after all (~ ̄▽ ̄)~
As for this illustration... Hehe, the story behind it is a bit funny: In the sketch phase, I thought it was a really cool idea, but slowly doubted it would work in the lineart phase, thought it was bland and not really interesting as I first thought. Then I started doing the mirror cracks and background and realized "Wait, it looks fine???" And the rest is history, trusting the process is actually real, guys ♪(´▽`)
Anyways, I'm really excited to hear your thoughts! Hope you have a great rest of your week and I'll be seeing you around~ (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
Heyooo! I'm here to bring good news: Chap 26 is almost ready for release! 🎉
It should be done by late Wednesday or Thursday, but it will most certainly be updated this week! And let me tell you: this was a fun one to write hehehehe φ(゜▽゜*)♪
Now, please accept another sketch I made of our boys and have a great week ahead of you~
(obs.: drawing Ren mad is so fun, i recommend it a lot lol)
Aaand we're here once again! 🎉 How was your holiday? Hope everything was great and let's start this year with high hopes!
This year, I really wanna do more experiments with my art style, so what better than trying something different for my illustration of the year? (/≧▽≦)/
For this one, I was very inspired by the amazing artist Mika Pikazo (like, their art is so beautiful ಥ_ಥ)
For the next piece, I'll probably do something more simple tho, because this one took more time than I wanted ehe...
Either way, happy to be with you another year! Let's do our best! (o゜▽゜)o☆
Merry Christmas guys! Chapter 25 is out and I hope you like it! (Perhaps not the most jolly chapter I could post on a day like this, but alas (⊙_⊙;))
I really want to thank you everyone for this year, you have no idea how happy it makes me to have your support! I can't even begin to describe how ecstatic I was when you guys helped sharing Pages Away to more people, you guys are the absolute best! ヾ(≧ ▽ ≦)ゝ
So here's my promise to you for the next year: I'll do my hardest to improve more and more! The road might be full of creative blocks and whatnot, but when has that stopped us? Let's take all of our challenges head on next year and keep on going together! And when you need to rest, count on me to (occasionally) bring you comfort (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
Once more, I thank you with all my heart for being with me and my comic this year, and I'll wait to see you in the next one too! Happy Holidays and may many good things happen to you from now on ❤
Heyyy! How you doing this week? Any snow where you guys live yet? (or are you like me suffering from hot weathers instead ಥ_ಥ)
Things were going a bit too smoothly for me with Chapter 25, so today I had a very bad creative block and kinda spent a few hours erasing and drawing the same panels over and over again lol. It's not a horrible block that will delay anything, just thinking that I could do better but not exactly sure how (。_。)
My tip for any artist/writer with a similar issue is: You probably won't solve the issue right away, you might come up with something another time, so just focus on doing a "good enough for now" solution and move on to the next part. You can always go back and improve it if you want!
Anyway, thanks for coming to my tedtalk, I'm here almost every week ~( ̄▽ ̄)~
