….I’m suddenly realizing that I posted chapter 17 of The Hobbit comic on January 13th of 2024, so it’s been almost exactly one year since I last posted a chapter XD.

Really though, Ive realized my new Webcomic Goal is to be more like my favorite YouTube video essayists — who post one excellent high-effort video a year, and then vanish to work on their next video privately for another year (only giving rough draft updates to their Patreon members.)

I think a lot about Hbomberguy’s video essay on the widespread problem of plagiarism on YouTube, where he talks about how the incentive to Post More Content All The Time leads to creators producing plagiarized poorly-researched insincere videos about topics they don’t know/care about, videos that are horribly constructed and riddled with severe mistakes— and how the rise of AI is only going to make that kind of insidious plagiarism much easier to get away with. I also think about how I’ve seen webcomics I used to like start using AI-generated imagery for backgrounds in order to keep up with their rigid update schedule, assuming their readers won’t care as long as they get New #Content.

But people actually do care about quality and sincerity, is the thing! People like having things that are created with love, that they can slow down and revisit multiple times and appreciate more each time. People like things that aren’t shallow, and that the creator put their heart into making. I know that I value that, and I think most people actually do! Social media algorithms want us to prioritize frequency and regularity, and shove that data-driven content in our faces all day, but people actually do value things that are made with love and care even if they take a long time!

I know that I would rather wait an entire year for each video from Defunctland or Folding Ideas or Lindsay Ellis, than follow a thousand YouTube channels that keep to a rigid update schedule via lazy shallow poorly constructed plagiarized content. XD

Similarly, I’m always surprised every time I update that people are still Around and check on this goofy little fanfic comic project regularly? ;_; It’s still ultimately just a small fan-project, but it’s cool that people are still following it after all these years.

And I hope people can sorta view this comic that way— something that takes a long time to update, but only because anything worth reading takes a long time to create.

Anyway, I need to prepare some stuff so I’ll probably post the next chapter in the next couple weeks— I’ve been considering February 1st?— but in the meantime the full 30-page draft of the next chapter is on my art patreon, and you can see the full archive of the entire comic on my website RetellingTheHobbit.com :3.

Thank you again for continuing to follow me even during the Long Hiatuses! I really do appreciate having a small group of readers still sticking around in this fandom!! <333

Ooooh. I see. You have a attack dog of your own~

Or is it attack monster! A Monster for a master's tamed little wolf.

Don't you call Echo that. He's not a monster, and i am not a tamed wolf. I don't have a master so don't you dare call either of us that.

He's not a dog either. None of us are that.

hi I just wanna say that absolutely love your ballpit AU?? And like, I was just thinking about the butterfly effect and how it could come into play. Would Michael try to save C.C. only for it to mess with the timeline and cause Gregory to have never existed?? Or would he try to mess with the past as little as possible and have to watch C.C. die all over again? Is there a way for him to save both the kids he cares about???

Sorry I’m just having a lot of Feelings™ about your AU and the possibilities and wanted to ramble about it anonymously. Hope you have a good day :)

Heheheh actually-

There’s like-

6 possible routes and - no wait there’s 7 now but I haven’t decided on the three I like better TTwTT I have, however subjected people on discord to the worst possible outcomes ✨✨✨ I think one day I’ll just post spoilers since it’s taking forever to make progress on the actual comic :’>

You have a good day also 💖

I've been on super low energy lately and I'm sorry for slowing down on the comic. I really want to continue but it's hard to focus and gather your energy for art.

The will is THERE, I wish I could just get my shit together and do it.

Sorry I couldn't get back to some asks or suggestions though I am always good for some casual asks really.

Either way, I will doodle other stuff in order to get my groove back and maybe some borrower stuff. Just to chill my mind really and get back on track

The Hobbit comic adaptation detail: the art style used to represent Bilbo feeling a need to remain "unattached" in Chapter 15 gets a callback in Chapter 17, when Bilbo "decides" he is not going on the journey. (You can read the full comic here!)

gonna try and make a cohost but wondering if I should use my notsfw persona or my sfw persona… I mean I have Instagram and tumblr and my portfolio to share all my sfw stuff but the only places I can really sure my not sfw stuff are patreon and twitter which is soon going to be X or whatever and I am NOT sticking around for that sorry… so I gotta get moving fast 😔✌️

[corinnetheanime]
