Wow so. Long Exposure is officially done! Iāve been trying to think of what i wanted to say about it ending for weeks and itās been really hard to collect my thoughts. I think the biggest hurdle i was having was that i felt like i was SUPPOSED to feel a certain way about it ending, and i just didnāt, so iāve been trying to conjure up those false feelings for a while now. But honestly? Iām not really sad about it ending. It seemed like everyone expected me to be sad that it was over, and maybe they were just projecting because they were sad themselves, which is fine, but iām reallyā¦ pretty stoked about it? Long Exposure ALWAYS had a planned ending. Itās not ending because i ran out of ideas or lost interest in it or whatever, it justā¦ was always meant to have an ending after 12 chapters. And i feel really excited that this project iāve been working on for 4 years is finished! Itās not cancelled, it's just complete! I know some of you guys are going to be really sad itās over, but just know it doesnāt mean mitch and jonas are going away, iāll still draw them as long as thereās still interest and stuff! Donāt worry!
I want to thank you guys for all the interest youāve shown in the comic and characters to this point too. iām extremely and wholeheartedly grateful to everyone whoās thrown money, or a comment, reblog, retweet, or a like my way. You guys were the ones who peer pressured me into making mitch and jonas their own comic in the first place!! Genuinely could not be doing what iām doing without you. It wasnāt always easy making a webcomic with so many eyes on me, i never expected it to get as popular as it didā¦ but everyone whoās left a sweet message or made fanart or showed some love any other way has made it all worth it. Itās going to be really strange not working on LE pages every week when itās been my whole world this past 4 years. I really hope you guys enjoyed the comic, iām pretty happy with it, even though i know some stuff could be better and i think iāve grown a lot as a writer since first conceptualizing it. But it really does feel like a huge accomplishment to have it completed and iām so excited to share more comics with you guys!
If you havenāt yet heard, iāve already been chipping away at my next comic called Ride or Die, which i hope to start making pages for after i take a little break between comics! You can learn more about it on my patreon (patreon.com/marsoid) and on my website (marsoid.net/ride-or-die)!
I also have a new limited edition signed 11x17 Long Exposure print in my shop! Theyāre in limited supply, so grab one while you can!
So whatās next for Long Exposure? Now that the story is finished, iām going to work on editing some older pages a bit (updating art, fixing typos) and getting it ready for a KICKSTARTER for a complete book (or two) of the whole series! So be on the lookout for that!! You can stay updated on my twitter (twitter.com/marsoids).
Thanks again everyone for reading this comicā¦ Whether youāve been here since the beginning or just found the comic yesterday, your support means the world to me and iām so glad i could share this with you!! And i hope youāre ready for whatās to come next! šš²
(also just for fun, hereās the song iāve always imagined playing at the end of the comic! Coming of Age - Foster the People)
