That’s a wrap on Chapter 8! Seems like the main cast are in a bind, what do you reckon they should do to get out of this one? 😉
Thing is, with APOC I’m in a bit of a bind too. I want to change the way I work on this, but it means going on hiatus for a while. The long and short of it is, APOC isn’t making me income like my other artwork is, and I can’t afford to spend as much time on it like I used to. I don’t want to lay it to rest (I don’t think I ever have), but I need to pause.
I’m toying with the idea of sketching out the rest of Volume 1, which works out to 4-5 more chapters. Seeing everything in front of me and working on the story as a larger element, rather than just chapter to chapter (or even page to page), I think will do it a service in the long run. I’ve always said I’m a better artist than I am a writer – making some time to work on that would do APOC good. If I get to a point where I want to upload pages before the volume’s done, I’ll do that. But right now I need a less stringent timeline for this project, for my own health. Such is the way of things when you work on a long-term project and your life changes around it!
Another thought – due to the long-term support of my patrons, I’ll likely upload the next pages wayyy in front of public release on my patreon. Supporters there have kept me going when funds were at their lowest, and I can never thank them enough – but hopefully this count for something. <3
Either way, I hope you liked this one – I’ll see you again with more APOC in the future!

I am a big fan and advocate of planning and sketching out things in advance as a method of comic making, so if that helps you stay happy and healthy (work load wise) I say it will always be worth the wait. Hope everything goes smoothly for you in the meantime Spikings!!!
Thank you! I used to get a lot of pages sketched in advance years ago, but the routine slowly fell away as other things in life got busy. Hoping to have a big update next time I post here <3
Excellent chapter. Please take all the time you need going forward.
