I just realized I haven’t made a post about the hiatus!
When I made Dragonrider’s Dance- I all but promised myself I would never take a hiatus. Basically, this story is just too important to me to take breaks willy nilly and I didn’t see it as being fair to readers either. You’re going along, enjoying this comic, then suddenly, you come to find out the story you’ve been enjoying is now stopped.
We’re all human, so if the writer/artist needs to take a break for whatever reason, that’s perfectly fine. It’s just in my case, I’m a very deadline-oriented person, and if I don’t meet said deadlines, it’s very hard for me to get back on track again. I just knew that if I gave myself a break without a clear plan on coming back, I’d either never get back into it, or make a habit of doing it.
But, as Briallen ranted, I ended up getting a very huge commission! Literally struck gold, somebody found me on my Instagram and wanted to commission me to make what’s about a 20-page comic book. I can’t really talk about it all that much, but that’s basically what happened. I want to put my best work into this commission, so that’s why I’m putting DRD on hiatus. BUT I do have a deadline, and we will be back the second that deadline comes.
For the record, I do have the next two pages done! (I was still working on it, just a bit more slowly), so you’ll definitely have something to read when we get back!
See you in October!
