Sunny and Rainy is over

This is it for God of Tea and Sunny and Rainy! I started this webcomic years ago and it's finally time for me to move on. Thank you so much for reading, leaving comments and otherwise supporting this comic!

If you're a patron, I've archived the whole comic in three PDFs that all $5+ tier patrons can download. Check out the pinned downloads post for that. ✨

For everyone else, you can also buy the PDF version of Sunny and Rainy on itch.io if you want to own it. It's nearly 400 pages total! The web version of Sunny and Rainy will continue to exist as it is and will always be free to read at sunnyrainycomic.com! It's also on Webtoons, but it's important to me to have my own website as well and not depend on other platforms. If you're a patron, then your Patreon support helps me pay for the webhosting and I appreciate it very much since my webhost has been raising prices every year. 😩

Why end it??

If you're wondering why I'm not continuing SR, then there are several reasons for that. The biggest reason is that working on this comic takes several days of my week and along with my job and everything else I do, it's a big time commitment to me that I can no longer afford to make.

Unfortunately, making a free webcomic is not sustainable even though I made regular and reasonable effort to promote it over the years and on Webtoons it has about 20k subscribers. When I started this comic I was hoping it would gain an audience big enough to make it sustainable through Patreon but I've never reached that goal. It's been almost 7 years and it just never happened. I even applied for grants to get it funded but with no luck. I think I gave it a fair shot.

Most webcomics are (and used to be) monetized by ads but even then the ad money is peanuts unless you get millions of views. I hate ads and I will never monetize my work that way. Currently big platforms like Webtoons are monopolizing the webcomic space. The whole internet landscape has changed drastically and now big companies like Marvel and DC also post their comics on Webtoons and most indie creators can't compete with them.

Not to even mention how poorly the creators that are lucky enough to be funded and promoted by the platforms are treated. You can't make comics if you're not in love with this medium and it will most likely not love you back. 😔

What next then?

Will I make more webcomics? I'm not going to say no, BUT absolutely not immediately and nothing long form. If I work on another comic project I'll probably make it exclusive to patrons. I love the comic medium so much, but a free webcomic is basically the worst way to make a living (if it's viable at all in the year 2024), and unfortunately I need to buy food and pay my bills.

If you want to keep up with my upcoming projects and new comics or other announcements I encourage you to join my email Mewsletter.

Thank you for reading! ⭐

Calling non-plot progressing moments “filler” is the mind killer. Calling moments “filler” is the little death that brings 0 viewer comprehension. Face your fillers. Allow it to pass over you and through you. And when it has gone past you will see the filler for what it is. Where the filler has gone there will be character development and exploration. Only the plot will remain.

Anything from castform? Maybe aroace color picked from one or more of its multiple forms?

why is everyone like "oh it's sunny outside! it's such a beautiful day it's so gorgeous and wonderful and the world is great"

and then talk about rainy days like "it's disgusting outside I hate it it's nasty yucky awful everything is horrible id simply die if i went outside"
