Still on the one page per week schedule-so next update will be Saturday. I have more of this scene boarded and I started the next page but this actually seems like a good place to go back to the gnolls. That said I have a lot of planning and design to do before I can go to them, so if I go there (which I might) I may have to keep going at the one page per week pace for a bit longer than usual to give myself a bit more time to get their next scene plotted out and prepped fully. We shall see though. Events to plan and new characters to design for that.
I need more time to do this really. If you’d like to buy me more time then please back my on Patreon 🙂 I’m thinking about re-structuring the Patreon a bit-maybe making the rewards a bit less expensive? I just made the current tiers up when I set up the account. Is the $12 per month tier too much? Would I do better by maybe dropping it to $9? Not sure. I have quite a few $12 backers but the number of Patrons I have (just over 100) vs the number of people that read BTB regularly (almost ten thousand) should perhaps tell me that I’m asking for too much. The fear is that I’d change the tiers and my current backers would drop their support down and I wouldn’t get any new backers-and I’d be even further away from being able to devote myself to this full time. It’s tricky… Cheaper tiers and more backers might be a better approach in the long term though. Hmm…
If you like what I do or would like a little more (or both!) and can spare a few bucks a month then you can back me on Patreon here- https://www.patreon.com/ByTheBook
A big ‘thank you!’ to all my existing Patrons-you make this possible 🙂
Please vote every day (or as often as you can) using the blue button up above!
Oh for…ugh..it figures that this battle has ‘phases’..lets just hope the boss doesn’t have a second form..
The big guy has three forms! OMG-spoilers! They won’t take all that long to get through though-so do not despair 🙂
As long as he isnt a “bullet sponge” enemy then im fine. (Enemies with a huge amount of health). But in any case, im ready to spend an hour or two in this fight. (Like I do in games, for some reason fights for me lasts a really long time)
his knitting skills are the BEST ZENKAI!
Indeed. 🙂
Is this the part of the fight where they play bejeweled while standing in the fire? Or am I thinking WoW? Hmm.
I didn’t have that planned. Maybe Rath will play HuniePop with them (that’s basically the same thing, right?) 😉
I think the tiers are just fine. You have 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 30$, so everyone can make quite a fine-grained choice on how much they want to pledge.
Is your supporter/reader ratio smaller than for other authors? I wouldn’t be surprised if 1% turned out to be normal.
Maybe getting your shop up and running might help? But managing the shop is additional work of course. You could call the shop “BuyTheBook”. 😛
lol-Thanks for the input 🙂 I should maybe take the plunge and just quit the job/do this full time. That way I’d have the time to do a bit more (like make merch) and I’d be able to put more into keeping quality and quantity at an acceptable level. I could always make up the difference with a couple of commissions per week if need be (which I enjoy doing a lot more than my day job and which would also help me to improve my skills at a faster pace). A Yeshka statue would be pretty sweet…
Yeshka waifu pillow, because it so fits the theme of this comic.
That’d be pretty sweet 🙂
You’re welcome! 🙂
Making the plunge is a daring move, but if you feel like you can do it, go ahead! I think that it’s possible to live off 857$ per month if you have only one mouth to feed and little expenses, so you should be safe in that case.
A Yeshka statue sounds interesting (she IS your hottest character to date after all 🙂 ), but statues tend to be expensive in relation to height. Maybe you should ask around first and if there’s a bunch of people who want to preorder it, then you can order them.
Good idea-I’d do a lot of research before I did anything like that-ask other people that have done it before and ask the readers what they would like. Find out all expenses involved and kickstart it maybe. I doubt I’d make a big profit off something like that but it’d be pretty cool 🙂
Give them some blue and the profits will come. 😀 Or was that Gnolls only? Maybe give ’em yellow then.

Oh, wait, she’s a Gnoll herself. There are so many kinds out there. But are they all blue down there?
It depends on the gnoll 🙂
