Anniversary Update!

Hello everyone! Long time no see! Hope you’ve been well, and if not I hope you WILL be well soon. <3

Today is Petra’s 6th Anniversary!  °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°  And to celebrate with not only a commemorative drawing, here’s also a long-overdue update on the book!

As you VERY well know, the outside world has changed whatever plans anyone made for 2020. My book and other things being among them. Regardless, I insisted that this book will be done! However this goal had hurdles even I didn’t see many months ago! One of them being the book’s size.

Originally, the webcomic’s strip format proved to result in an oddly-shaped book. About 6x14 inches was my original measurement. (verrrry big. =w=;;) The printer I wanted to work with haulted business and the printers I found in the US could not print my size. I came to a crazy decision: Double my workload and make the book smaller!

At first I was going to go through all my comic strips, make edits accordingly, then do everything else. Good news, the edits are done! What I’m doing now is arranging panels to fit inside the new page size. Here’s an example:

As you can see, the original webcomic page is retained but some elements will change. (shrinking or elongating panels, adding extra panels, etc.)

Please note this is only the content you guys know. The new extra stuff has been started but not done and will be revealed soon enough.

To sum up: in the 6th year of Petra, the biggest thing I want to do is get Petra’s story into the hands of everyone who loves birds, bats, and comicbook hyjinks in a book jam-packed with life and love! Thank you for reading (both the comic and this long post) and see you next time! ^___^

Conclusion (High Res)

And that’s all there is. After 5 years of ups, downs, detours, and rest stops, PETRA IS NOW COMPLETE! *~*~*o(^▽^)o*~*~*

Will all my heart, I thank you so very much for reading Petra! Whether it’s been since the very start, somewhere in the middle, last year, or even last week, your interest and support has been greatly appreciated. This bluebird’s tale has been a learning experience for me and I hope in some way it was for you too.

So what happens now? First a much-needed hiatus and then WORKING ON THE BOOK! The comic may be over the the work still continues. Keep an eye out for updates and even some progress previews on both this site and my Twitter.

With all that being said, and more to be said at a later date, I wish you all happiness and have a pleasant Sunday. <3

She Lives (High Res)

You’re probably wondering “Hey, Petra Comic is 5 years old now!” And you’d be correct! You’re also probably wondering “Where’s the big celebration picture?!” and it’s because it’s gonna be a limited edition print available at launch when the book comes out! Hope you can keep your curiosity under wraps for a little while longer! (and no peeking!)

Thank you all very much for reading all these years (it means the world to me!) and stay tuned, this month’s updates are some you do NOT want to miss! ;)
