Spring Update!

Spring Update! published on No Comments on Spring Update!

April fools! I don’t have the remastered chapters done yet! Oh wait that’s not something i’m happy to joke about-

Let’s do an update! First and foremost, yeah- Sorry about the delay on the remastered chapters! The time it takes to finish these pages alongside balancing work and taking care of my household is difficult to balance. I’m aiming for June the earliest to have another update on things and hopefully be near done by then. I will be taking a trip at the start of April to finally relax with some friends. It will be refreshing, because good lord I need the time away…

Last update I mentioned one of the reasons I started this editing journey was because this year marks Black Sunshine’s 10th anniversary and April 1st is the day I posted the first page for the story! It’s funny how this works since I consider October 21st the true anniversary because that’s around the time the initial concept was made, then revisited a few years after and then I announced I was starting production of the comic. Then during the spring the following year of the initial concept was when I was exploring the idea further, then I started to make new concept work a few years after and then I started posting the pages. It’s funny to see how patterns appear with the work on this comic. In short, gee Jasmine how come you get two comic birthdays? Haha!

I’m very excited for the remastered to be published and read everyone’s reactions to the changes! If you want early access to see the finished chapters and the chapters in progress, you can actually subscribe to the patreon! All paying members will see finished pages while $5 and up members can see the work in progress steps (From Pencils to Inks to Flats and so on).

Currently Chapters 1 and 2 are finished and you can read those and the other in progress PDF files through patreon as well! 

We have a total of 82 pages left to finish. Granted we also have some extra work including touch up with Chapters 7-9, new chapter covers, new web assets and a new website layout in the future! A lot on my plate, but I’m a person who likes to keep busy. I appreciate everyone for being patient with me!

Hopefully the next update will be celebrating being done with the remastered pages! 

Happy Anniversary! Oh yeah where have we been-

Sorry it’s been a while!

To cut straight to the chase, I’ve been working on remastering all of chapters one through 6 for a relaunch of the comic! Currently I’m working to get pages done by the end of the year and then redo the website after. It has been A LOT of work with how much else I have to do between paid work and personal life, but I’m managing!

Remastering is not only cleaning up the very yellow 2016 pages , but also rewriting parts of the story and including new pages to help the newly realized story flow better. Next year, 2026, will be the 10 year anniversary of starting this comic. That alone made me decide to do this, because I started during a time when I was unsure of the story. I even wrote the first six chapters to be a bit open and flexible on what things meant just in case I changed my mind in future scripts, and boy I most certainly did!

I’ve been working hard on this since roughly the start of this year but more seriously in March. I seriously thought I’d get all my editing done in a single month, you can’t hear it but know I’m laughing very hard as I look at my nearly filled notebook of rewrites/redline notes for chapters 1-6 alone. Chapter 7 through 9 are presented with the current storyline in mind, if anything they need lettering updates as well minor paneling and visual edits to make things a bit tighter, but chapters 1-6 are the biggest part of the work load so those first!

Speaking of, if you’re curious about the behind the scenes I’ve been sharing the progress on my patreon! You can actually read the current remastered chapters now in their redlined stage in PDF forms, the lettering is cleaned up for easy enough reading! On top of that you can see new remastered pages posted once they’re finished! You can see both of these through any of the paid options for the patreon. Mind you patreon bonuses such as the monthly illustrations, request and zip folders, are on hold until this whole relaunch process is finish!

As of right now I still got a large amount of pages to do and my goal is to finish all the pages by the new year, wish me luck! I also want to thank folks for being patient as I take care of this. While the 10th anniversary was a motive other factors played in that’s too much to discuss here, but this had to be done for me!

I hope everyone looks forward to the newly remastered comic, get hyped!!
