New Years Art/Comic Dump!
🕑 Added 2021-01-03 19:17:16 +0000 UTCHi, everybody!
I realize it's been a bit since I last checked in with y'all-- for Tony and I, the last couple months were equal parts "trying to take it easy" and "figuring out how to run a game studio", so time got away from us a little. But we've tied up nearly all the little loose ends, and Scarlet Hollow Episode 2 is well underway >:D
Also, Scarlet Hollow won TWO out of the three awards in the AT&T Unlocked Games Showcase! Each award was worth $10k, plus some fun extras like a booth at next year's Dreamhack (whenever that may be). We couldn't be happier that our little game was able to win over the judges, and it's only made us more excited to be working on it.
Anyways, I've been doing some non-work-related art here and there, and decided to lump it all into a post for y'all on this, the first Sunday of the New Year--
--A Hellraiser piece I did for funsies
--Some vampires, also just for funsies (and to experiment with bright colors as accents)
--Concept art for three supernatural romance stories I'd love to make one day, once The Last Halloween and Scarlet Hollow are done... so maybe in like, seven years, haha. If folks are interested, I can post more concept art from these, since writing all day tends to mean I do a lot of sketching at night ;D
--And a handful of journal comics!
That's all for now-- I think Tony and I are gonna do a little revamp of the Patreon tiers soon, though we're still working out the details. Nothing huge, just adding a couple things (and probably updating page art and whatnot)!
Thank you all so much for your support this year. I really, deeply appreciate it, and hope all of you are doing okay. Sincerely,
-Abby

This is a bit unrelated, but I just wanted to say I really love the first chapter of the game and am pretty excited to get more! Very happy I also backed that Kickstarter. And even more unrelated, you'll be happy to know my Haunted Spoons plush fits in well with the household.

I love the stories your mind comes up with, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do this year!

Oh, no, The Last Halloween is very much alive! I'm working on the next update right now, actually. It's probably not going to update much while I work on Scarlet Hollow, though I'm planning to release 2-3 updates between each Episode of SH, then when the game is done in 2023 I'm going full-time with TLH for the first time since 2016. So excited to get there! And thank you for supporting the comic! :D
I break my usual silence to ask: wait, does this mean that the Last Halloween is officially dead? Aw, what a shame, I was hoping to see Cool Teenage Midna. Still, good luck on this new endeavor!
Congratulations!

This is beautiful! You're both beautiful! And the game is amazing!
