February 2025 Newsletter
February is TOO SHORT!! What's up with that. Nowhere near enough time. Although despite it feeling so short, I'm still like wow hourly comic day was this month? That feels like a million years ago already...
Anyway, I didn't get around to a lot of the things I wanted to get done this month- I was just focusing on getting Sparks pages done really! I hit 12 again which always makes me happy haha. I did manage to doodle a fair bit too, although ALL of that was nsfw, so the only sfw image I have to share for the month is the Philo/Atlas Valentine's picture I did. This was kind of a remix of a 2021 Valentines picture I did of them where Philo was the bride and Atlas was the groom... time to switch it up :)
My to-do list right now is to redo the Sparks cover/banner/etc on Tapas (the one on there is soooo old now!!) and at the same time format Sparks and start cross posting to Webtoon. Sigh. I was trying to cross post to WT forever ago but fell off quickly because I hate the strict format policies/content policies/lack of creator control on there. But I also feel like I'm kind of shooting myself in the foot by not putting Sparks in front of the wider audience that use WT. I got motivated to do it again because I saw Petra Nordlund posting her comic Tiger Tiger there, and I like how she's just stacked multiple pages vertically and is posting them as episodes... I'd been daunted by the idea of trying to cut up and rearrange old pages to vertical scroll, but the method she's using looks way more doable. So! I'll try again!
Other than that, I really want to launch the Sparks online store! I have the merch, I have the shipping materials- I just need to take photos, make the listings, and make some graphics for the store. I plan on starting with a 'soft launch' where I open the store only to my subscribers on Subscribestar and Patreon because I'm so nervous haha, so it would be nice to kind of test the waters that way before doing a 'real' opening. So if you want to be first in line for Sparks prints and stickers, make sure you're subscribed! ;)
Other than that, not much to report... I'm so sick of Winter, I really hope it starts warming up in March. I am READY for Spring... let's gooooo
