Volume 6: Forget Me Not (Double) Cover Reveal

Volume 6: Forget Me Not (Double) Cover Reveal published on 5 Comments on Volume 6: Forget Me Not (Double) Cover Reveal

It’s the time loop book! The one where characters break history so hard that the actual panels disintegrate around them! Which leaves me working on how to replicate the “transparent pixels” effect with…a printed paperback cover.

This started with a “mini mockups where I tinker with layout possibilities” post on Patreon.

And it’s ended up with these two basic variants:

I tried a couple different versions of the “cracks in reality” effect, ending up with this sharp zigzag effect for the edges. Couldn’t get the more detailed, rough-edged version I used in the strip to look good.

Maybe I’ll see if I can work out a “torn paper edges” effect before the actual printing? Maybe not. (Any updates about this, I’ll post directly on the Volume 6 crowdfunding campaign.)

As for the basic color scheme, though — that could go either way!

Which one do you like better, readers? Light mode, or dark mode?

Oneshi Press got grifted, so their comics are all on sale

Oneshi Press got grifted, so their comics are all on sale published on No Comments on Oneshi Press got grifted, so their comics are all on sale

Small comics publisher Oneshi Press recently got hit with a “tricked into giving a real refund for a fake payment” scam. They gave a play-by-play of how it worked in their newsletter — it’s worth a read, especially if you haven’t heard of this one before, and/or if you take high-price commissions!

They’re trying to recover with a store-wide sale. I’ve mentioned their Spring 2023 anthology, Destinations, before — it includes a Leif & Thorn short story, which has not (yet) been published or released anywhere else.

So if you were interested, but never got around to buying it? Now is a great time to pick up the ebook or the paperback.

(Creators got an up-front page rate for their artwork, we don’t get any extra royalties from ongoing sales. So there’s no personal benefit for me if you buy these books now! All the profits go toward helping an indie comics company recover.)
