Heeeey! Well, I've come from weekly to monthly! Things changed after the election, and now I got more work and some less time to work on comics.
I'll try to balance the page width, scenary detailing and so to re-balance the workflow. Hope not a problem for you!
Thanks for reading!

Hey y'all! Sorry not being timely, I have less time to comics now, can't commit to a page every week for now.
But a page is coming, and I also did something for this last halloween. Thank you for coming by!

So, that's what is new; I've adopted the "webtoon" format. After that many years thinking about printed pages and paper limits... it's a new horizon!
I realized so far, it can be perceived somehow like animation. It can "jump" from the corners of the screen. Also, it simplifies the work. Less focus on the overall, more focus on the pacing (but depends on the readers reading speed).

So many variables and new possibilities, tell me how do you like it so far! Should I revert to the "printed layout" structure?

Whew! What a year, am i right? Ballon + Star is now two years old (in english)!
To celebrate, how about a little trip to see the sea?
Thank you for your audience!

this is like... a blog or something? Can I share art here without disrupting the page count? We'll see

Hey, hope you have a nice weekend!
In Ballon+Star I had to re-upload a page because I kinda messed up the pages' order, so probably that's why you'll getting a notification perhaps.
Stay safe!
