Update on Hodge-Podge's Status
12 years ago
General
Hey everyone, its finally time to make my decision since it is the end of the summer!
I will be continuing Hodge-Podge in full color, updating once a week per usual.
I'm going to working on making a back log so that i'll be perpared to dive right back into the series as soon as school starts back up.
I really do want to finish the series, there are many exciting and emotional events that have not even happened yet!
I decided that ultimately if I was going to continue the comic, I might as well make it worth the effort and time. Black and white was unsatisfying, and doing manga pages would make things go by too slowly as well as making it difficult to reprogram the site to fit those kinds of pages. I have considered improve my coloring and start painting pages to keep up my skill, as this would be very beneficial to my growth as an artist. Learning to speed paint is a critical skill.
HOWEVER, PAINTING COMICS EVERY WEEK IS A LOT OF WORK. Going back to updating in color every week with an even greater amount of effort will be a lot more difficult for me, so i'll be setting up a donation box. Since most of my income is from commissions, and doing HP makes that difficult, it would be nice to have another possible source of income. I won't be asking for much, but a little compensation for an even greater effort would be nice. I may even do it kickstarter style and have a stretch goal for upgrading the quality of the comic, it really all depends on how much you all care/want to spend. I'll let you guys know later what I decide to, but a donation box will definitely be going up for anyone who really feels like it :)
Sorry for making this a little long, i'm looking forward to getting back into making comics!

Good luck and keep up the good work.
Speedpainting comics is a lot of work, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of things soon enough c:
GO YOU!
Yes, of course. You work very hard to do high quality comics. I would be happy to help with donations, though it may be a little at a time. I'm excited to see what you have in store for us.
So happy.
I'm really happy to know you'll continue Hodge-podge, I really love your comic. Just take your time and don't rush things too much ^_^
well, all i can say is that im happy that you will continue the awesomeness that is hodge-podge!
Raining down rainbows and sunshine for all to speak.
