What’s up, everyone? Nick here with an update on the comic.

It’s been a couple of months since I announced that I had to end the webcomic. I still really love having done that but the thing about creating a comic for the web at least for me is that I began to feel pressure about meeting a daily posting deadline instead of focusing on creating the story itself. So if you missed that announcement, this is basically a summary of that. I feel like those comics will eventually be coming down. Lindsay and I have since gone back to square one and developed a slightly different way of writing. Plus in doing that I have also decided to play to my strength of black and white which means i am leaving the coloring behind.

Above is a new image of Oha: The Meditation Ghost. You can see how differently things are shaping up.

We are planning to hit the beats of what we did in the webcomic so what you’ve read there is still in play but you may see it presented just a little differently. The pacing of chapter two in webcomic format suffered greatly from the self-imposed deadlines. It felt like chaos. Whenever we get around to meeting Viper and the Brute Squad in the books, it will be precise and very well planned. As it should be. Book one will breathe and ease us into Oha’s journey. I’ve had to learn how to scale things back and focus. Lindsay has been really good about directing me. Our work has also birthed a new character that we will be introducing in book one. Not only do we like her a ton, she was a natural fit. I’m not really sure how we ever missed having someone like her to be honest.

Thanks for taking this journey with us as we iron out all the details. We’ll have more soon.

If you’re interested in more closely following the progress on the new comic, our Patreon will be launching April 1 and we will be posting sketches and other behind the scenes content as we write and illustrate the new incarnation of Aqueous Meditation.

Cheers.
