āUMā//Patreon//Gofundme
Iām Stephen Michael McDowell a.k.a. Buttercup and Iām working on a graphic novel titled āUMā!
The comic will be about a group of superheroes called āmidwivesā who perform the equivalent of exorcisms on people who embody some of todayās most rampant social and ethical ills.
The Midwives also slowly uncover a global conspiracy, the success of which depends on the perpetuation of these behaviors in order to maintain malevolent power structures.
Iām focusing all my attention and energy on this project with the hopes of getting a version of it online and available by January.
Now, Iām aware a lot of webcomics are available for free, but I literally canāt afford to produce this without it also being my primary source of income.
So Iāve developed a plan to not only publish the comic online but also print each volume of the comic as completed, making physical versions of the entire comic available to the public as early as the end of next year.
Story development, thumbnailing, sketching, inking, coloring, lettering, arranging, & printing are all extremely tedious and technically difficult, which is why this job would usually be split between a team of up to twenty people, but Iām doing it all by myself.
In addition to all this, Iām moving into an apartment in September, meaning I will need to have $1000 rent plus $500 deposit by the end of August!
Now the way Iāve arranged this fundraiser is fairly straightforward:
If you would like to make a one-time donation/investment ensuring you get access to the webcomic, check out my gofundme.
If you would like to continuously follow the development of the comic and make monthly contributions to my rent and food money, check out my patreon.
I really want to put together a project that directly addresses a lot of todayās systemic social and ethical problems and gives representation to a plethora of minority groups here in the USA, so by contributing to this project youāll be directly empowering a transgressive retelling of many of the whitewashed canonical myths that abound in todayās entertainment industry.
Thanks to everyone who has helped so far, updates coming soon!
