Hey!

Haven here. I am messaging you because you have been a subscriber of my work in the past, so I am here to provide you with a recent update (this can be seen in my profile for the announcement). Anyway, It has been a while since I came with an update regarding the ongoing hiatus. Safe to say, I am currently editing my works (Silent Whispers - NOW Revnium) as they are in the process of being made (this may take some time as it is exam season)! However, back then quite a few of you have indicated interest towards a discord server being made, so I am here to tell you that there will be one coming soon - hopefully by the end of April (once the exams are over). Possibly some new chapter updates while we are at it!

Otherwise, feel free to follow me on @silenthisper (via INSTAGRAM / TWITTER) for more updates as I will be fairly active there regarding my progress towards my current work!

Much Appreciated,
Haven

I haven't promoted it to you guys, but I've been uploading some videos to YouTube. Latest just went live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M51lOhpiybA

I intend to also have some original Protectors (and maybe others) stories on there (inspired by PopCross videos). I may actually update the comic when these videos go live, since they are going to be canon to the comic. But at the moment, you can watch my awkward, fumbling attempts to do the videos (I assume I'll get better as I get more experience).

Another delay, I'm sorry to say. Artist block, really, made sure I didn't draw through the holidays. But don't worry--I'm planning on merging the next issue with the one after, so next update will be two stories in one.

Just wanted to report: I've been uncharacteristically unproductive this month. The next issue was supposed to be scheduled for the 14th, but I don't have it ready. Sadly, this time I don't have a backup ready to go, so this just means no update this month, and I'll be updating it for October.

I blame my allergies for part of this, as it's impossible to think straight enough to draw when you're sneezing all the time, barely able to get a good night's sleep due to an impossibly stuffy nose. But that isn't the be all and end all, and I take ownership of not buckling down when my allergies weren't bothering me (normally they're in springtime, but we've had a lot of smoke over here).

I hope people forgive me for the skipped month. Sadly, I'm likely to lose at least one subscriber. Always happens when I have a month of no update (since the comic updates monthly).

As a consolation prize, here's a link to a YouTube video showcasing the Almighty Protectors theme song. It's good music, at the very least: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPXadXTCiBk

I'm not done with the upcoming issue. It's LONG. So, despite my desire to keep a regular monthly schedule, I'm delaying issue 32 until February. While I've been taking a heck of a time to finish this issue, there's no doubt in my mind that I'll be done in time.

But, to keep you getting some sort of content, here is a preview of the cover, drawn by bogmonster from devaintART (not drawn to be a cover, and certainly not to this issue, so nothing should be read into it as far as what may happen in the plot):

The next issue of Almighty Protectors would have gone up tomorrow, but I need more time. It will only be delayed a week, but I still wanted to mention it.
