Start reading from the very beginning, start from the beginning of chapter 5 or read the new page!
Yep, Katsuko’s got that right: it took a while, but chapter 5 is finally complete!!! I’m pretty proud of my work on this chapter and I’ve been looking forward to crossing this finish line for some time.
What I haven’t been looking forward to is announcing this: Mudskipper is now on indefinite (but definitely temporary) hiatus to give me a chance to write and thumbnail chapter 6. I’ll admit that during chapter 5, there were a lot of weeks where the actual art came dangerously close to overtaking the thumbnails, and it really taught me the importance of having the entire chapter thumbnailed before committing to a weekly update schedule - I know the wait will suck, but it’ll benefit the comic and your reading experience in the long run, I promise. I’ll at least aim to finish the thumbnails and start updating again by January 2019 - I can’t say for sure how long this next stage of production will take, but what I do know is that taking a break from making finished pages will let me come back refreshed and more into it than ever.
Mind you, there is one thing that opens up the possibility of more Mudskipper content very soon: Inktober is just around the corner, and even without that, there’s no rule against me drawing the crew outside of the comic proper. If you want to keep seeing these characters in action, keep your eye on both this blog and my Twitter! Thank you for your time and patience - see you again soon!
