Raindrops: A SessKag Story

Hey guys! Long time no see! I get questions regularly about whether or not Raindrops is going to continue, and the answer is of course! As long as I'm still functioning this comic will go on, even if it takes a while.

My usual workflow is that I write a script, then draw all the thumbnails of the chapter, and then start doing page sketches. (I am currently in this stage) I tend to want to draw all of the pages before I ever start inking/toning and then post. And because I also work and get distracted by life it takes a while so I'm very grateful for those who stick around.

Currently, for those who are interested, all WIP updates for Raindrops is being posted on my Patreon. Here is an example of a WIP sketch that I have posted of the current cover! Patrons got to vote on various concepts I had in mind.

Chapter 08 - 86 [END]

We finally made it to the end of Chapter 08! This has been my longest chapter yet and I want to thank everyone who has been so patient with me. Chapter 09 is now in concept development. You guys might not see new pages on here for a while, but if you’re going through withdrawals and want to see behind the scenes process for Chapter 09, I’ll be posting exclusively on patreon for the next few months. And of course, any official page releases will of course still be posted here :)

I lied, the NEXT page is the last page of Chapter 08. And then we are going heavily dirty work on Chapter 09.

One page left! Chapter 08 is finally ending. Which means Chapter 09 is going to go into concepting and production and this leads me to my next big announcement:

I’m officially on Patreon! Because I’ll be heavily going into concepting and sketching the next story, you can now get exclusive behind the scenes looks at the Raindrops process from start to finish. Including script ideas, livestreams for sketches and toning, and being able to see comic pages before I post them publicly anywhere else. This comes at a time when I will be heavily into the dirty work, and so new completed pages might not be available until that’s done. So if you are going through some withdrawals, and want to see progress, consider the Patreon. (there are other rewards and artwork there too so check it out if you’d like to see the full scope).

Of course, this comic will continue to be posted and available to read for free, so please don’t worry about this comic being put behind a paywall. Being a patron just means a few extra perks.

Chapter 08 - 81

So it’s been a very long time. And I am here with some life updates for those of you who don’t follow me on my personal blog. I’m still working from home during quarantine so my time hasn’t really altered, but about  month back I found out that I was going to lose my job. I had spent all that time mainly focusing on working on my portfolio, applying for other jobs, feeling generally depressed and scared about being jobless during a pandemic, while still being contractually obligated to keep working for my company until my termination date. So unfortunately this doujinshi hadn’t been my priority and I’m very sorry to keep everyone waiting.

There’s some better news tho. Since then, my company has decided to keep me for an additional 3 months so I have some cushion time to continue to find another job. And this past week I spend the entire time working for an art test for a potential employer. I really want to finish this chapter still, so I’ll do my best to carve out some free time.

In the meantime--the real questions. Of course everyone probably knows by now about the Inuyasha sequel series that is going to be released, Yashahime: Half-Demon Princess. Everyone’s been asking me about my thoughts on it, and what it means for Raindrops. I have answered this question on my personal blog, but let me just state here, that I am completely ignoring the series and am not going to read or watch it. It will affect this doujinshi in no way, and I will continue to make this fancomic for your reading enjoyment. As far as I and this comic are concerned, THAT THING DOES NOT EXIST. 

I’d like to give a special thank you to everyone who has supported me even through the long drought of updates. It really means a lot.

Hope you all are doing good in quarantine! Since I’m working from home I’m in a weird state where I feel like I should have more free time but my hours haven’t changed lol. Anyway, 5 page left!

Wondering why it’s been a while, huh? Ran into bad computer luck a while back, my cat knocked over a glass of water all over my laptop so I was out of commission while I got it fixed. Thanks to everyone who donated to help fix it!

Another double update this time to make up for it.  But soon you won’t have to worry about late updates because this chapter is ending real soon.
