Description
So, I really hate to do this, but I don’t have any choice, and at least it happened to work out perfectly with the end of a chapter: this is going to be the last page until at least the first week of 2021.
When I started posting this eleven months ago, I had all four pages of the prologue done along with all of chapter one. When chapter one was done, I think I was just finishing up page thirteen or so of chapter two. And right now… I only have the background done and half the characters sketched out for the first page of chapter four.
Part of the reason is, I hope you understand, a bit of a loss of enthusiasm. Not that I’m not committed to finishing this thing, but it’s not all shiny and new anymore, it’s down to the grind.
More than that, though, is just that things got more complex as the story went on, in terms of characters. If you look at chapter one, there’s maybe a max of three or four characters per page. This page, alone, has fifteen characters. Which is just natural, given the story, and something I knew was coming, I just didn’t completely foresee how it would affect my time to complete each page.
What I need to do, I think, is work harder at my composition skills. Get more done with less characters, in other words. The first panel here is a good example of what I can do, and I’ve already started applying that to the page I’m working on now.
In any case, with a month break, plus the extra time I’ll get from taking off work during the holidays, I can hopefully build up at least a five page lead, and then keep that buffer in place from then on. At the very least, I can keep it going through chapter four and take another small break before the next chapter, and just keep doing that.
In any case, loving all the enthusiasm I’ve been seeing for this, and I hope I can keep things up for you moving forward. In the meantime, enjoy the holidays, and I’ll see you next year.

Because either way I don’t really care. I’m reading this, mainly because I know and liked the artist (He’s done decent Chrysalis art before). But I’m also interested on how the writing will be and how the artist handles the character.
I think you misread my comments earlier. I’m actually not interested in reading other people’s actually infighting in the comments section over the morality stuff. But an art about it, even redeemed / reformed Chrysalis, is still A-OK (as long as it’s decent IMO of course) even if I still prefer the evil ones. For example.
The one that I also definitely avoid is the obvious bait post like this.

Kinda curious, if you prefer Chrysalis evil and irredeemable, then why you read comics that had decent chance she would be reformed on some level?
Oooookay. Agreed with the storyline or not, agreed with the villains norality or not, that is now CROSSED the line.
It seems that any discussion related to Villains le morality is so controversial that people are now treting it like an election or something, complete with ad hominem fights and stuff. I hate it, both sides of you.
For the record, I’m not participating in any of villains (or anything in general) morality discussions because its pretty much dependent on someone’s POV, very subjective, and ultimately pointless plus sometimes can even blew up in my face at some point. I’m not even motivated enough to reading it. It boils down to basically very predictable pattern that I correctly guessed every time. It’s tiring.
I’m just liking Chrysalis for fun and eeevil, mate. Nothing more nothing less.

Not to say there’s no issues with the finale, atleast the 2 parter one. But it’s actually more because of more endemic problems the whole show has, especially in latter seasons. The padding is way too much and there’s writers (and whole crew) that rotates so much that it’s completely different from early seasons, and it CLEARLY shows.
I want to add abit about Cozy Glow. No other modern media I knew actually portrays an actual child as so irredeemably evil it’s lends themselves to life in prison or somethings similar. All of them would have some subversions, like the child actually turns out to be adult or being possessed by supernatural stuff. I know that its because its controversial nature and stuff when connected to real life instances.
Oddly enough I think Sombra portrayal in comic is actually the example of decent villain writing. Not perfext, but decent enough.
Other villains I dont really care tbh. Atleast Chrysalis is as evil as she are, lol.

Agreed. I’m not of fan of the comic giving them sad backstories to justify their evilness, but that comment was just spiteful. Criticizing the work is own thing, insulting the creator is crossing a line.
Or you know, he’s just a bit tired after writing and drawing weekly high quality pages for free in his free time and wants to take a break for the holidays. Kinda rude to just say that he’s lying and doupting himself for that.
Maybe you should accept that some people believe that these three deserved a better fate and could be potentially reformed and have some good arguments for it? That maybe your opinion isn’t the only one that matters?
Obsessed
You’re not feeling any lost of motivation, what is happening is that your mind is finally doubting about your own lies and slowly accepting that the trio was irredeemable since the day 0 and don’t actually deserve another chance after multiple ones.
But as it was stated earlier, they could come with a bigger group or alarm an army and then the Changelings would be screwed.
Also, happy holidays to the author!
