What a hell of a week!
More than half of my team at work reported in sick on top of the people already on vacation we were down 80% in headcount. I barely had any time during the day to create any images.
Also the images took ages to render. I hope Nvidia publishes their new phase of graphics cards soon and they are not too expensive... Hope dies last, right?
I only added the ...

Over the summer I spent most of my free time on rendering images for the comic. Currently I'm mostly rendering only during work hours and use my free time for other things. While I would like to spend more time on creating comics I fear I'll burn out so this week it's only 6 pages.
I have a few fun encounters already mapped out in my head for the next pages. Things are going to move... p...

Now my last travelling days for the next few weeks are over I have discovered the game Throne and Liberty, which I quite like.
That didn't stop me from creating more pages, but for whatever reason the last page took me almost 3 days to make. It's either some setup with the scene or I have to restart my PC more often to reset the RAM... I hope this issue doesn't persist with all the follow...

Still travelling for work during the week. Fortunately some of the beach image renders went by quite quick. I hope I can deliver as many pages next Saturday, but we'll see how it goes with work and travel.

Over the next weeks I have to travel for work. I might not be able to find the time to create as many pages as usual for next Saturday (and possible the Saturday after). I hope you understand.

Wooot! 13 pages! What's going on? To be honest I cheated a bit. I had pages 114 to 116 more or less already shaped up last Saturday, but wasn't satisfied with them yet, so they made it into this week.
Btw: If you read my other comics, you might recognize one or two persons in the pages this week. I hope this gives you a bit of an idea how "Changing Perspective" fits into the overarching w...

It wasn't the most productive week unfortunately, but I'm slowly getting somewhere. I hope you like the story so far.

I fear I went overboard with this sequence (and probably quite a few pages next week as well).

For page 88 I would have loved to make it an animated page, but I couldn't really get it to work the way I wanted. So here it is as a JPG and I also attached the animation for the top right frame of the page. I hope you like it.
By the way: While this is nowhere finished, I'm already thinking about what comes next. What do you think about a continuation of the Patreon exclusive "We...

Not a bad week.
Btw. welcome to all the new patrons. Thank you for supporting me. I'm open to feedback. Please don't hesitate to comment and let me know what you think.

Every time I achieve to create 1 or more pages per day I'm happy with what I achieved.
I am, however, unsure, if page 71 had to be a panorama shot. It was supposed to be displaying all the contenders but maybe I could have achieved that with several images...
Edit: Sorry, I noticed that there were 4 speech bubbles missing on page 76. This is now corrected.

Due to feedback (see here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/changing-change-109179917) I updated page 6 of the comic. Here are now all created pages in one post.
I'm happy about the progress I've achieved this week (10 new pages). I hope I can create as many pages next week. We'll see.
I have updated page 6 based on feedback from DeviantArt (https://www.deviantart.com/lylaleluu/art/Changing-Perspective-by-lylaleluu-21-1079776943).
I added an explanation on the effect duration of X-Change Pink pills.
On Saturday, for the weekly update...
I originally wanted to get a few more pages done before publishing, but considering the answers on my survey (https://www.patreon.com/posts/what-frequency-108858936) so far very heavily hint on you wanting a post once per week, I decided to just go ahead considering that the last pages were publ...
2024-07-27 21:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostI assume the simple answer to this question is: "As much as possible as soon as possible".
However: When I started out over a year ago with making visual stories, I did that with the aspiration of at least a page a day. In the beginning, with 10 to 11 hour days in between, I was able to keep up with my own aspiration, but sooner than I wanted I couldn't keep up and burned out a bit.

A few more pages done. I'm getting in the thick of it in this scene and it's noticeable: Page 52 took me 2 days to make.
Lesson learned for the future: GPU Memory as high as possible if I ever get a new graphics card.
I might have figure out a way to speed up the process on page 53, though that might require some camera angles that I don't like.
If you have time for some feedba...
The event hasn't started yet - at least for most of the guests?
What's going on?
It might take me a bit longer for the next pages. That is not because I have less time available. It is because I'm envisioning a larger scene set with several characters.
The more detail, the more characters are in a scene, the longer it takes to render. On one hand I'm really looking forward trying to figure out ways to streamline larger scenes and finding opportunities to reduce the c...

It was quite busy for me the last few days so I had barely time for more pages.

I'm not dead. :P
Thank you for your support. Recently I had some time again to express my creativity.
I hope you like the first pages of this new comic.
Please don't hesitate to comment if you have any feedback.
Unfortunately due to my demanding work situation I can't promise when I can publish the next part of this comic, but I'm highly motivated to continue this as soo...

First of all I want to say I'm eternally grateful for the support you've shown me.
That said I have to ask you all to cancel your paid memberships for now. It wouldn't be fair to you to continue to support me financially while I don't have the time and energy currently to continue this project regularly.
While over the last year my work left me with quit...

Lately I'm slow with my updates.
Over the past months I have done my work on comic pages (concept -> rendering -> lettering) alongside my day job (that brings food on table). I was fortunate that my day job allowed that, but this past month that has changed. I'm even so busy with work, that I'm too exhausted to focus on anything creative after work.

I had my first case of writer's block. Felt totally weird. I knew where the story was going and what I wanted to do next, I just couldn't find the words for the speech bubbles.
I hope this is now over for good and I can get back to regular work and more updates.
However this weekend I'm busy with family stuff, so you'll probably have to wait until late next week for the next pages.<...

This is not up to my usual quality standards. I got this event/story/comic from a suggestion over at DeviantArt and thought "Let's just try it out".
As I was already in the "tryout" mode I thought I'll follow other feedback as well (see here https://www.deviantart.com/lylaleluu/art/Promoti...

While I published pages 1 to 21 before, I made some detail changes to earlier pages so I thought I upload them all.
If you want, you can also download the comic as PDF.
Here are the additional pages and the updated full comics.
