Prologue | Chapter 1 (REMAKE 2023) | Chapter 2 (REMAKE 2023) | Chapter 3 (REMAKE 2025) | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 | Chapter 8 |

It’s been a little bit, hasn’t it? It wasn’t intentional, I promise.

I got really invested in another, original project, and trying to garner attention towards that project. It’s another comic (read L to R instead of how this one is read), and it is an original story. If you want to, you can check out the tumblr page (which has also been slightly ignored because this year has been… a little nuts): @theelementalsart (actually, fun fact, the first project from this is a complete overhaul of another comic I had running alongside this one almost a decade ago at this point lol maybe longer)

But my absence from here was unintentional (I’m actually technically taking a bit of a social media break). I intend to come back and actually work on this comic again, but with my focus elsewhere at the moment, it’ll be a little bit until I can come back with a clearer head. I didn’t want to leave this project hanging, as it is very special to me.

With summer break right around the corner, I may be able to actually work out a better schedule for me to work on comic pages while simultaneously working on trying to get Volumes out for my other project. So I’ll figure out a schedule to follow.

I have also spent a LOT of time (prior to taking a longer hiatus than intended) bundling each chapter from this comic into individual PDF files. At some point, I’ll figure out what to do with them… and if I can sell each one for print? Idk.

Anyway. I just kinda wanted to poke my head in and say that I haven’t forgotten, and I haven’t ended the comic unexpectedly. I just got insanely busy and got waaaaaay deep into something else.

I am off to take a working hiatus as I sketch out the next little bit.

Please be warned that the hyperlinks to the chapters o the actual tumblr page need to be updated, but the Archive post should be updated.

I started this redo back in 2024… and it is almost the end of 2025 lol so really. It’s only been 1 year, but if you include the redos of chapters 1 and 2, and then the addition of a prelude… yeah, it took me closer to 3-4 years. Not to mention I was working on other chapters at the same time.

I realize that I didn’t upload a page last week, so I thought that maybe I’d post both of the final two pages together lol

Anyway… it was a joy working on this chapter. I’m going to take a small hiatus so I can finish working on the redo for Chapter 3, and so I can work on the next chapter! (Which should be fairly short).

Thank you for all of your support. If you would like to get more content from me, you can check out:

There are many times where I realize that not every panel needs a detailed background.

I went on this whole big tangent on dA about Lewa's characterization for this chapter and such... I will spare y'all from that same amount of wordage lol

Guys… it’s so weird to think that the chapter is done. Well. For my KoFi subscribers… for y’all, there’s 5 more pages. It’s so wild to think about that. Just because I think this chapter has shown the most artistic growth.

As my grad program comes to an end, and as I’m trying to figure out how to balance a personal project with this comic, I will have to re-evaluate how I want to upload pages. Because this comic has been around for… almost 20 years (that is WILD). Each chapter takes me roughly 2-3 years to actually finish, which is kinda… rough. Who knows where I’ll be in 3 years 😂 Some things to think about I guess.

I love writing characters who are just these… warm, supportive characters. Just. Hhhhhhh.

Also, I have to go back and add in the links to the “next” pages on previous pages. I forgot to do that lol I’ll hopefully fix that tonight!

If you aren’t subscribed to my ko-fi (or have been a donator), there are technically 4 pages left to the chapter. For the free version, there are 9 pages left. Which is kind of… amazing tbh! This chapter was a doozy. A lot of moving parts lol
