1. Now that the first couple of episodes are up, I decided I will focus on doing the shorter appendices at end of each episode as I've been doing. So there will not be a long summary appendix at the end of chapter. I will provide the English meaning below the text in the speech bubbles as much as possible, so you won't be forced to memorize like you might've had to in the old coLouR* comic.
2. I will NOT use AI for coLouR* translations, and will NOT use genAI in any form for my comics. Translations will be done by people. WT is rolling out an AI translation service and I will not be opting into it.
Since it's been ~6 years and a long time since the old comic was being posted, some of the translators I had dropped out (or didn't respond).If you are interested in translating for coLouR*, you can email me at raineymotley@gmail.com. Any language is welcome!
Petrichor finale has been scheduled! It will be releasing this Friday April 18th 7PM CST! It was a month long of hard work to get this finale done, and I hope you all like it ;u;
I cried when I drew the last page, while listening to "ray" by LUCA and haruka nakamura (highly recommend listening to it while reading the finale). I actually found the song while I was drawing the last pages, which feels like fate somehow considering the lyrics haha.☀️
There will be an afterword releasing a few days after the finale goes up. I'm thinking of posting that one on April 22 (Earth day!).As for extras after all that - I'll have to see. I definitely want to share all the fanart/media that people have given me through the years, so I'm planning an extra for that.
For now...Thank you all so much for the past 8 years!!! I will save all else I want to say for the afterword, so see you then ^^!
Happy 7th Anniversary of Petrichor! 🌦️ And probably the last anniversary we will hit before the comic ends this summer :’) Thank you all for your support and love all these years!! ❤️
I half-joked with a friend years ago about making this drawing and having it as a small print to go with the printed books, then I realized oh no the comic is ending and I still hadn’t drawn it 😂 so here we are
I’ve had a lot of irl stuff come up, and the next Petrichor episode will be a bit before its done and released. Recently I’ve tried to get an episode up every 2 weeks, but I’m not sure I can keep that up consistently (as much as I want to). So until things are stable irl, expect a sporadic schedule from me 😅
For now I’m going to pause payments on Patreon for April, to make up for the lack of updates this month. I’m also going to try kofi eventually, especially to post the NSFW scenes.
I estimate that the next episode will come mid- April publicly!
Last two parts of Petrichor chapter 6 will be up Feb 17 and March 3! Part 28 is already up on Patreon and part 29 will be done soon.
There is chapters 7 and 8 left + epilogue, but they each won’t be as long as ch6 and Im no longer in grad school so I hope to be done with Petrichor by early 2024 😭coLouR* will be delayed until I feel I can sufficiently work on both at the same time.
I’ll be tabling soon at San Japan! However, I will not be at my table Friday (9/2) from 12:30-2:30pm because a school obligation has come up. Otherwise, I expect to be at my table. Friends will be helping me out!
*whispers* I might be revealing some stuff on insta/twitter haha....if y'all don't use this platforms, let me know what you DO use so I know how to share my art better lol.
Update on keychains: I've figured out a much cheaper way to send out the keychains, so I've updated the shipping prices! Mainly changed international shipments to be $4 instead of the $6. Sorry for any inconveniences!
