Another Unfortunate Update... The Process Is Taking Longer Than I Expected. I Don't Work As Fast As I

Another unfortunate update... the process is taking longer than I expected. I don't work as fast as I thought when it comes to coloring, and I have quite a few pages to color.

The new release date is March 9th. I hope this is the last time I'll have to change this date.

I am still planning on releasing Chapters 1 and 2 at that time. This is a total of 27 pages, and it's mostly been slow-going.

Thank you for your continued patience and support. I won't fail you!

Time to put a name to a date! Chapters 1 and 2 of GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA will be released for free this February 15th!

The comic will be published on Deviantart, Tapas, Webtoon, Twitter, Bluesky, and Tumblr.

The links to Tapas and Webtoon will be added to this post on release!

Oops, forgot to post this yesterday. 4 days until CNIDARIA releases!

Pavani came home early from college—her winter break isn’t for another few weeks. She doesn’t want to talk about it. Pavani is a soil scientist or botanist, and she works herself to the bone about it. She’s trying to enjoy her unofficial break while she can by playing guitar and petting her cat.

Here's a recent test with some decrepit urban places and some brushes on Procreate. It's mostly to get the feel of a world I'm writing about. 

Not based on a particular image, but rather several references.

Back at it again with some horror art. Local guy gets blood all over him and stares at the camera.

The colors remind me of Ao Oni and the dolls from Ib!

The lyrics are from Paparazzi Murder Party by Vane Lily! Absolute banger of a song. You'll probably see it get used again.

thank you all for the kind tags!! ^_^

Six unassuming young adults.

These characters are the main protagonists of GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA, a mystery / horror story I've been working on for a bit. I really like the colors here!! They're kinda muted, but overall pretty cohesive, I think.

Howdy!! I'm actually planning GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA!! Well, I already know the story, but this planning is for me to map how the story will work as an RPGmaker game. I'm not going to give a schedule out publicly… mostly because I don't know how long each phase will take.

Cheers to this project! I'm a full time student and first-time RPGmaker dev, so here we go!
