No Airlock Bound for a Bit - Money will be Saved for big Chapter later
Sorry, I was spose to get a video out by now to explain but its taking a bit longer than expected.Sorry sorry, gunna have to ask you to bare with me for a bit.On the bright side, I did my taxes and I didn't end up owing any money, I'm also making more from Youtube now so i'll start putting my own money into the project again soon since I'm not afraid i'll need it.
More Airlock Bound
I'm still working out how ham-fisted I need to be to explain the more unique concepts within the world. Might go back and do some clarity edits if people don't understand what the thing in the glass vile and what its used for in the world.Webtoon: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/airlock-bound-the-public-domain-web-comic/the-first-day-part-3/viewer?title_no=739919&episode_no=6Tapas: https://tapas.io/episode/2551673Files:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11DLDEEvQ0ZGmJT8KnDBm4P8pZnliQpqv

Slight 1-2 day delay on Airlock Bound
I made a slight mistake and organised a late redo of a specific panel for the sake of clarity. this put us behind a little so its going to be a day or two before this months chapter comes out.Sorry for the delays.
More Airlock Bound
Probably not going to do big announcements on youtube or anything until we get more out since we're only like 5 pages a month right now. But! More Airlock Bound.On the bright side, youtube's picking up a bit more with regular videos so after I handle my taxes I'm gunna pump some of my earnings into more pages. Probably the chapter after next but I might be able to get a couple extra done at the end of the month once I get paid by youtube.Tapas: https://tapas.io/episode/2496111Webtoon: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/airlock-bo...
The Public Domain Web-Comic Sets Sail Once Again
Its finally time. Tapas:https://tapas.io/series/Airlock-Bound-Comic/infoWebtoons:https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/airlock-bound/list?title_no=739919There are some important updates to how I'm handling money now. You can check the video but TL;DRHow much money we earn directly correlates to how many pages we produce a month.Additionally that amount isn't all going into production. I've started taking a percentage of it as profit. I outline my argument for this in the video, but if you don't like this, now is the time to jump...
Airlock Bound Trial Color Artist
Think I might have found our color artist. What does everyone think of this?The artist is @stephengiannart on twitter if you want to check them out.
Airlock Bound Trial Art
It should be noted, this isn't indicative of the final product. I'm just getting some feedback on what I have.For example the first 4 pages have highlights mid tones and shadows done by the same artist as everything else. Unfortunately this would be too high of a workload for consistent pages from them. So in the final version, we'd have an extra person on board as a colorist to hopefully do full color. So yeah, final version will look a bit different.Speaking of, the last page i've attached isn't quite done with its line ar...
Airlock Bound Continues
Sorry this took so long but we have 4 new chapters out of Airlock Bound. Audience testing went really well though, so they should be good.Princess Puffrel is being introduced in this section of the story. I actually did some significant changes with her character, more significant than I did with Gale. She should be distinctively more likeable now. Or at least, that was the goal and the response I got from the audience tester.Also, the fight that happens in this section of the story is the one I plan to send of to potential artist to test if th...
Airlock Bound Update
Sorry about the lack of updates and replies to messages. The first run of the comic kinda ran me into the ground money wise and I had to no life youtube for a bit.But a good month of youtube has put me back on track so i'm back to work on Studio High Sea stuff and working out how to best use the money the patreon has been accumulating. (thaaanks) -No luck with finding a dedicated studio to handle adapting a novel into a comic, at least nothing English speaking. -Going to start looking for an individual lead artist to handle the project wit...
First section of the chapter 1 rewrite
Read here: Tapas: https://tapas.io/series/Airlock-Bound/infoWattpad: Orhttps://www.wattpad.com/story/287315414-airlock-boundThe video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bieixXGeknQtl;dw-I've completed 9,000 words of the rewrite so far, you can now read this.-I want to audience test this and the next section rather than rush ahead and finish the whole thing, just to make sure i'm on the right track.-I have already done some audience testing with some friends I trust to be brutal with me, and it looks like this should go fine. Look...
IMPORTANT UPDATE
You should watch the video for full context but the important thing for those of you paying is this:Comic is stopping until we finish the chapter 1 Rewrite and get a new art team. Patreon will NOT be paused but 100% of the money saved up from it will ONLY be used to afford the new team. If you're unsure or don't trust me, now's the time to remove your pledge.
Airlock Bound Chapter 3 Release
https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/airlock-bound-official/conflict/viewer?title_no=677569&episode_no=3Sorry! I completely forgot to update Patreon.I wanted to do a livestream after release as a way to collect more data about peoples reactions, so I got really distracted by that.Chapter 1 rewrite is still being worked on, it got a lot bigger than I expected but that's going to be my focus this month.
Chapter 3 Delayed - Patreon will be Paused
As mentioned before. One of our artists is moving and another is getting surgery. We tried for a chapter anyway but we can see we're going to fall behind schedule very quickly.As a result the Patreon will be paused and we will aim for a 14th of August release instead.My sincere apologies.I know a number of people want me to keep the Patreon open, but I feel like that wouldn't be fair on the people who pay but don't keep as close an eye on the project.That said, somewhere in July I'll post a text draft of the redo of chapter 1. I...

Airlock Bound Chapter 2 - 14th of June
Everything's on schedule for release. Pretty excited to show all our improvements.From there the plan will be to release every month. A big thank you to all you early donors who are helping me hold off bankruptcy for longer and keep the comic going.That said chapter 3 might run into delays. Unfortunately one artist is moving home and another is getting surgery. We don't have specific dates yet so its hard to plan around but its very possible it's too much to work around.If we need to delay chapter 3, we will pause the Patreon before...
Quick Update
Sorry for lack of updates and replying to messages, had my wisdom teeth out and it knocked me out for a few days.We're one month in and on schedule. The art director has finished the sketches for chapter two and they have been past along to the editor, line artist and shaders. The art director is now working on the buffer and regular chapters are on schedule to start next month.I'll be starting streaming again hopefully tomorrow and i've got a couple of videos in the works. One of these is a video on Invincible where i'm going t...
Updated Model Sheet - Gale
Updated model sheet by Fay our art director.We're currently doing some quick checks and tests with who we hope to be the new storyboard editor, things are going well. I'll update with some examples when they're fully fleshed out.
Updated Model Sheet - Puffrel
We had some light model sheets prior, but with a storyboard editor coming on board soon, (haha "on board") Fay, the art director has started to redo them. Assuming we've made the right choices with our production changes, the character should look like this consistently now.
Quick Update
Thanks for all your support so far! I don't want to radio silence for too long, especially so early and before we've established a consistent schedule so i'll give a quick update here.-Work on the comic continues. The art director had the script for chapter 2 and 3 a day or two before the video came out so rest assured she'll be getting on with that as the month progresses. I thought I might need to rewrite some sections before she started based on how the comic was received but I only got 3 negative comments on writing with no ...
