Risiko - Page 350 & An Announcement on Changes to Come
infoAbout This Title
It's up! Alex really came through these last couple chapters. Kaz is lucky to have him for sure! I'll upload the shaded version of this page shortly. This is the last of the plot for a minute - the next two chapters will be fun and sexy. Finishing chapter 11 is a big milestone - it's the halfway point of the comic. Regarding that though, I'm going to need some time away from the comic to rest and work on other things. This has been a difficult year and I've been sick a lot, and overall I'm feeling pretty burnt out.
In terms of other things I'm working on, I want to clean up some of the earlier comic pages so I can have physical copies of Arcade Alex at the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE) if I get accepted for next year, and the deadline to apply is generally in December. I'd also like to finally have my character designs for Shadowplay, the erotic thriller I've been working on, completed before the end of the year. The script is already done.You already know about the Alex and Kaz KiSS dolls - once completed, these will be available for free for my $5 and up patrons. I'm enjoying working on them as a break from the more detailed work of drawing comic pages, so they should be done by the end of the year. Eventually I plan to sell them on itch.io if anyone outside of Patreon is interested.
So with all that, I'll likely start working on chapter 12 early next year, tentatively starting it running in February or March. I'll post updates here once a month so you all will know when physical copies of the early chapters are available (if you're interested in buying them) and when chapter 12 will be starting.My plan for my Patreon is, after this month, to pause until the end of the year. I'll still be posting bonus content until the end of September. After that, I'll continue posting updates once a month to let you all know what I'm up to.
Ultimately, next year I'm planning to shift to a model without tiers to simplify the process of creating for here. Likely this will be $5 for everyone. If you're an $8 patron currently, there is no pressure to stay at that amount. If you choose to pay more, I'll look into doing a yearly perk like a sticker pack. I'm open to suggestions.
The back cover for chapter 11 will done in October.
Thanks, as always, for reading and supporting the comic. It means a lot to me and I do love working on Arcade Alex. I'll see you all soon.****
Page transcript:
Alex: The call went well?
Kaz: Yeah... it was good.
Alex: See, I knew it'd turn out alright.
Kaz: Thanks for telling me to call.
It's still weird with my parents, but not as bad as I expected.
The important thing is Mat's okay.
He'll be visiting Starlight City in a few months to see some friends so I'll see him again then.
Things get so out of proportion in my head... but you ground me.
And fixing my car... that was just... wow.
You already know that was the car that got me out of Ohio.
Figures something bad would happen when I went back...
Feels like everything about my old life was cursed.
For a minute after the accident...
I panicked because it seemed like I would never get back home to Starlight City and you.
Alex: I know it must have been scary in the moment...
But you couldn't stay away from here if you tried.
I would always come rescue you.
