Hi everyone!
It's been a while since my last update. I'm sorry to those of you who actively followed the comic for so long. I really appreciate all the comments and likes.
Anyway, I've been focusing on private projects lately and not really posting my comic pages when I finish them. Again, I'm really sorry to those of you who wanted to see where the last comic was going! I just have a really hard time staying active online because I'm not a very outgoing person and tend to internalize my expectations of my art. If I'm happy with it, then I've pretty much gotten what I wanted out of it and...eheheh...end up forgetting to post. Please forgive my aloof behavior!
Recently, I did a massive overhaul to the dialogue in a lot of the early pages of Chlorofields. A lot of that dialogue was clutter and I always knew I needed to cut it. I hope everything is a lot more enjoyable to read. I also added a few pages because I'm ordering prints and was able to expand the story by 3 pages. That helped me "show" more and not have to "tell" about it. I figure the fewer words the better (the exact opposite of what I thought people wanted from comics. When Chlorofields started out I noticed most comics had giant walls of text. Even One Piece had moved to a wordy approach, and so I thought that's how it was supposed to be done now. I should've just stuck with my gut though...) In any case, before this gets too wordy itself, I just thought everyone would like to check out my edits and tell me if the early pages are any better --becase let's be honest...they kinda sucked before haha....
So that's about it. I hope everyone has been having a great life.

I hope those changes in the early pages make it easier to get more readers in! Cuz your comic deserves it
Excited to give it another read through! :D
Everything about your art style makes me super jealous! Awesome comic and interesting lore!
But anyway everyone, thank you to all of you who have been reading and supporting the Chlorofields comic so far. I appreciate every like and all the nice comments. I'm always surprised by the things people notice or liked about my posts and even though its not cool to say it, I do get a lot of encouragement by people's comments. Even (especially) ones that have a complaint or suggestion. They helped me sort out some of the legit bad points and avoid them afterward.
But thank you very much, everyone. I really appreciate it, even though sometimes I'm kinda late to reply. Thanks a ton and a half!!

Oh I totally forgot about wall comments. I'm sorry to anyone who I forgot to reply to in...frankly, forever. I didn't mean to! Please accept my apologies :0
Hi, sorry for the lateness! Thank you so much for subscribing to Life is Peachy, appreciate it lots!
Hey don't mention it! You got some good jokes c:
Hey I drew a pic of Mellalu! I finally read the comic last night all the way through and can't wait for more!

No problem dude! I got that picture you drew of Phoebe on my wall. Look at it eryday! :p
Damn dude! I didn't know you had your comic on tapas too! You deserve way more subs! I'll help you out sometime soon!

So here it is, tomodachis, just as promised, the side series "Chlorofields BIBLE"! This will be the place to go for explanatory notes, concept art, species intros and that sort of thing! It's the supplemental series for the main Chlorofields comic. If anyone is interested, here is the link! And I vow not to make a habit out of post notifications like this. Thank you all for everything so far though!
