May 2024 updates + next CPC project
🕑 Added 2024-05-27 18:57:56 +0000 UTCHello!!! I apologize for being extremely late with my latest update!!! Ever since I last wrote you all, I’ve been spending every second I could muster awake cramming in as many redraws for the Volume 4 CPC graphic novel, but I still blew way past my deadline 😵💫 Thankfully, my new editor / contact at Webtoon Unscrolled very graciously allowed things to be slightly pushed back, and I have finally just turned in everything, whew~~~~ But I thought I'd share a few more of these redrawn panels with you! (They are also available for hi-res download below)
Overall, I feel really relieved that this volume will look on par with the other volumes, which is more than I should have been allowed to do with this one.
I did follow-up about the possibility of hardcovers to my Webtoon Unscrolled contact, and they reiterated the same thing as they did last time, which is that they’d talk to the sales dept :( But there’s still lots of time, so I’ll continue crossing my fingers and bug them again in a few weeks!

That concludes the last big deadline in my pile of giant overdue deadlines that had been looming over me since the final arc of CPC! 🎉 I’m really tired, but so so excited because it means I am finally free to tackle lots of other CPC-related projects I’ve had on my list for a very long time.
The most important next project is one that some of you have been very kindly asking about: CPC side stories! :D
I think I feel okay saying this now, but yes! I had always secretly hoped to have CPC be a story that interweaves lots of characters’ interactions and that ends after the dissolution of the engagements. But then after that, to have the story splinter off into individual spin-off short stories centered more around one / a few character each. But I was never sure that Webtoon would ever allow this.
However, they've approved CPC spin-offs to exist in the Daily Pass section, which is why you might have noticed CPC now sitting in daily pass. I equate this to being like a “straight to streaming” type deal haha, which I do admit I am relieved about, because these side stories will be much too chill and boring to compete in the Originals category. But I have also heard that some people very much dislike Daily Pass, which I totally understand too. So I apologize for that being part of the deal.
But yeah, I am so excited to begin developing these, while also making sure I pace myself in a much healthier way. I hope I’ll have some concept art to show you next update about who we’ll be focusing on for the first of these spin-offs! :D

Other than that, I have just a few merch announcements to shout out:
Firstly, an early copy of the CPC coloring book was mailed to me, and it looks really cool!! This is from a collection of various WEBTOON series books from Walter Foster, and you can pre-order them at Barnes & Noble, Target, and Webtoon’s online shop.
I thought I’d share photos to show the nice quality of these books, but I realize my terrible photography skills are not doing them justice :’( But basically, it's I think 46 illustrations in total, with the full color version on the left, and the colorable version on the right:
Lastly, FigPin released a mystery box of various pins of WEBTOON characters, and Gwen and Frederick are two possibilities! I do think they had a bit of trouble with Gwen’s skin tone ^^; but these all look so cute!! You can get those at Hot Topic or Webtoon’s online shop.

There are many other projects I’m excited to work on, but this is all for now! I hope you’re doing very well, doing and eating and reading lots of fun things, and I’ll be back to check in sometime in June!! :D
