Space Pawdyssey Chapter End and Vacation
9 years ago
General
The current chapter will end next week at #65 after which I will probably be taking some vacation time while I host some company.
#66 will bridge this chapter and the final chapter. It should start out with a few Toby comics to revisit the cool cat for a bit before heading back to see how Felix and crew are coping with the fallout of recent events. Then we get to see how things go from bad to worse for all parties involved.
The full first major arc will end around the June/July timeframe if all goes well. This is near the 1 year anniversary of Space Pawdyssey. I'll be looking to get it published as a single trade and I'll likely be offering up orders by the end of the year for anyone interested. Once the first story arc is finished, I'll likely take another quick break to do some design work. I'm considering some redesigns to character appearances. It's something I've been doing frequently already but I'll be making a few more tweaks before the next arc starts. I realize my art has been inconsistent, but Space Pawdyssey is my playground for learning new things and with that comes new ways of drawing my characters and improving my art. I don't have any huge changes planned, just playing with a few details.
I'm designing a new costume for Toby to wear here in the final chapter of the current arc. He'll be out exploring Nexus on a hover and I thought it would be fun to stick him in some cool motorcycle gear. Thinking about going for something Akira inspired with a catnip leaf on the back instead of a pill and likely colored in very 80's pastels (I've come to enjoy the idea of dressing Toby in 80's inspired colors while sticking to 90's grunge for Lex). The motorbike (or I guess hoverbike in this case) will be a plot element later on.
I love putting these guys in different outfits. They are distinct enough that i don't need to rely on clothing for folks to know who is who. If nothing else, it will be nice after this story arc is done to finally be able to draw Rowan and Felix in different outfits. Connor has already been shown in a number of variations of Alliance outfits (formal, the outfit he wore before leaving and the standard uniform worn by the ship's crew) but it will be nice to get him into some casuals too. They'll also be getting new uniforms.

Can't wait on the new uniforms. That was my only reservation about your comic, I couldn't stand that purple uniform.

OP
They were supposed to be blue but I'm colorblind :-/

Ya know, for the Toby comics, I think the first one should be about him having a dream of him spending time with Captain Connor in the cartoon style the he watches in #38.
