The Future of P+T…

Okay, this is an awkward post to type up, but I’ve been doing a lot of thinking recently and I’ve come to terms with the fact that I can’t keep up with P+T.

I’ll continue to re-draw the first chapter and maybe the second, but it’s just so time-consuming.

But!!! Obviously, I’m not willing to let it end like this!!

The story will continue from chapter 11, but as a script. All my comic stories start as scripts and I think I include enough descriptive information to make them enjoyable to read on their own. …yeah, I think 😂

I’ll post all the original scripts over here, for anyone interested (there are some bits that didn’t make it into the final comic pages, so I hope that’s exciting.. maybe? 😂), including the entirety of chapter 11.. which has been written for YEARS at this point.

The scripts will also be posted alongside some panel illustrations, so you don’t have to use your imagination too much, haha ^^ I’ll probably post 5 or 6 for each chapter. And if any readers want to contribute and draw scenes from the scripts, that’s also very welcome!! I’ll happily include your art 😁❤️

So, yeah, this is the only way I can continue the story from chapter 11 and also continue to re-draw the first few chapters. I hope it doesn’t sound too off-putting.

I also want to introduce a new project soon (I can already hear you screaming at me).

I’ve been working on this one for a while and I get to dip my toes into the world of ✨fantasy~✨ I want to present this story in the same way as P+T, having it script-based with a few accompanying illustrations. Honestly, I’m excited to get into this way of storytelling!

I really hope this goes down well. I understand that this is a big change that some readers probably won’t appreciate, but to those who leave, thank you for the support and to those stick around, I’m forever thankful  ❤️

Catch up~

Okay, so a lot has happened recently and I’m excited to share some things!
Firstly though, here’s what I got up to during October, in the lead up to Halloween-

I gave myself from the end of september to Halloween to finish a special picture (actually, I ended up working on 3 😂) and here’s the result that was posted on the night-

I dipped out of my comfort zone to play around with colour and lighting and it looks kind of cute! ^^

[I could have finished sooner, but I’ve been ill since September and struggling a bit (..well, more than usual) with energy levels.. October was real rough.. a little TMI, but there you go 😂]

Anyway, to make up for no Pip or Treats this year (and taking my time to finish), a colouring sheet was also uploaded to the P+T twitter page for people to colour in either digitally or traditionally (or even both! 😂)

If I get the time, I’m definitely going to fix this up because I’ve noticed that some lines don’t connect, which would probably be a headache for anyone who likes to fill in flat colours with a paint bucket tool.

so that was Halloween! Now, let’s move to the festive treats I have lined up for December/christmas-

I’m working on lots of printables including card designs and this little paper decoration set ^^/

I’ll go into more detail about how paper decorations work in a later post, but they have been pretty popular these last few years, so I thought I’d join in with some P+T designs this year! 😊

So, the last piece of news is that I’ve made a… pretty big investment recently that will push the speed of making the merch that was promised maaaaaany years ago 😂
