About Heart of Gold

Hello everyone! Thanks so much for your patience and your questions about the current status of Heart of Gold. It’s been an extremely busy time since we finished volume 2, with ups and downs in our private and professional lives. And sitting down to write this wasn’t easy, but we’ve been sitting on this far too long than we’d have liked, and we apologize for letting you all wait. Well, to get straight to the point: Heart of Gold is on an indefinite hiatus. There’s a chance we will return to this project, but right now we are focusing on other areas. More under the cut below!

Longform comics without a publisher and large funding behind it run at the risk of burnout, and we can now say we’re unfortunately no strangers to that. We’ve had incredible support from our readers and our patrons, much more than we could’ve ever imagined.

But unfortunately, as it is with webcomics, creativity and funding burns quicker than one might hope, and we ended up deciding to explore other avenues. We’ve always wanted to find our footing in illustration, and ultimately find a healthy balance between work and life without overextending ourselves. The workload of a comic can easily be underestimated, and boy, did we underestimate!

So right now, we’re focusing on growing artistically while also recovering from burnout; on finding ourselves a bit and what we want to create in this world to make it a kinder place.

We’ve been so grateful for every lovely bit of fanart, comment and financial support we've received from our readers. What started as a passion project found its way to people that returned the love we have for this project, manyfold. Thanks for sharing the excitement for HoG with us, it truly meant and still means the world to us.

We hope you’ll look forward to other projects we’ll be working on in the future, be it of our own creation or in collaboration with clients!

- Eliot & Viv

PS: As for printing plans for Heart of Gold volume 2: There's still plans! Just as mentioned above, no time or space (like, literally. we're drowning in books) to take care of it right now. But we'd love nothing more than to have a companion for volume 1.

Hi!! I adore your newer DnD art and everything HoG related, and I was wondering if you had any plans of reopening your online store anytime soon? I remember you mentioning it as a possibility back in 2022 but if I don't remember wrong you've only done physical shops at cons since then

Hi! So sorry for the late reply 💦 There are plans of reopening our online store but sadly we still can't tell anyone a proper date. There's a lot of factors (taxes, shipping products internationally, etc.) that affect our decision on when we can open it. We're still hoping for this year, but if so it's gonna be in autumn most likely!

hey, i only recently got heart of gold recommended, and ive got to say i love it a lot, esp those color pallettes^^ ive seen that you did a kickstarter for the first volume and plans still there for the second volume too, and if that happens would it be possible to get a print of the first volume, as i would love to have it as a physical copy all together?^^

Thank you so much for reading Heart of Gold and for being interested in the physical copy 🙏💛

Yes we'll definitely try adding Act I to our Act II Kickstarter if possible!

…And that’s a wrap for Act 2. Thank you all so much for reading it, and enjoying the ride with us! We've really wanted to push ourselves artistically and narratively for this volume, and we're actually quite proud with what we achieved. With a finale like this, we're super stoked for what's next but as per usual -- first, we rest....!
