Zokusho: Shadowbox–Page 39
And with that, we bring volume 5 of Zokusho to a close.
So, I have a little bit of bad news–we’re going to have to go on a little bit of a hiatus–just until February of next year. Over the years that we’ve been working on this series, we’ve slowly burned through the buffer of extra pages, and we’re dangerously close to the wire. So, rather than post a “Sad Serge In Snow” picture when we wind up running out of pages (gods, that reference makes me feel old), we’re going to take a little bit of time to get ahead on our scripting and pencil pages. Everybody who follows our work, I am super grateful to you for taking the time to look at it, and I hope that you’ll be back when we are. Like I said, I plan for us to be back at the beginning of February.
No problem. Have fun, and Merry Holidays to you and yours!
aaaaaaaa, why do you have to end on a cliff-hanger like that?!
(But seriously, enjoy your holidays, and I look forward to the return in February :D)
Ah, I’m probably going to forget about it in that time. After the reduced schedule, too… Oh well, I expect I’ll come back to it eventually, and that will be fun enough.
Turns out I did forget. Until now. Please don’t be permanent hiatus?
Have no fear, we are definitely not on permanent hiatus! Volume six has started, even if no one but Paul, Brandon, and I have seen it.
That is good to hear. I hope to see it soon!
what happened???? are they going to do the comic or not???????
We are still at work on Zokusho–the script for the next issue (looking to be about 40 pages) is about 95% complete, a lot of the pencil pages are done, and about 1/3-1/2 of those pencil pages have already been inked. What is currently holding us up is that we’ve been offered an opportunity to pitch a series for the online seinen manga anthology, Saturday PM. If this goes well, it will be our first opportunity to do comics at a professional level, and we’re trying to bring our A-game as we put together our presentation. Once we know how that is proceeding, we’ll re-establish an update schedule that can be managed with whatever our new workload turns out to be.
Best of luck!
Seconded. That said, this is professional-grade work – I’ve certainly seen worse get published – and I kinda wish you’d spend more effort marketing it. Also, be careful about your contract.
Anyway, hope to see this come back soon.
*Poke.*
Is this regenerating, or do I need to find a slab and a thunderstorm?
(pokes page with standard issue 11 foot pole) is it dead? April was a while ago with no update since 90 ish precent penciled and 1/3 inked. Can we get a fresh update on the status of your amazing work?
Perennial request for status update?
