Five Whole Dollars

A short comic I figured to do for fun and to test out the traditional format a bit. I've been in a bit of a tough spot with school lately so I haven't had the time to draw much... But I got the third chapter's storyboarding done! Here's to hoping I have more time in November to make more progress.

Has the merman lupin au been discontinued as the account has seemed to be deleted

Ah so someone actually noticed. I didn't delete the account, but I made it private and locked the blog under a password.

After some thinking, I decided it'd be best to put that project under hiatus until I have more time to work on more long form stories. At the position I'm in right now, I cannot have the time to dedicate to something that long anymore.

To put it in perspective, I have a part time job now, I've been involved with a club in my uni, I've also joined an animated film project and I also have to juggle the typical classes as well as the online projects I've joined. So yeah, it's unfortunate. I haven't done much to progress the comic any further than starting my draft on Chapter 3. If I continue at my snails pace, I'm pretty sure I'll die before I finish the story.

It's been really hard mentally feeling like I can't do much with the skills I've gathered. I had a lot of time to reflect on the story I wanted to tell and I feel like there are a lot of flaws in my story that I want to fix up. I want to improve my character writing and also to shorten the story up to where I can finish it at a reasonable time. For the time being, I want to release more one shots or short comics instead while I change the story behind the scenes.

I'm aware it's disappointing since I hyped it all up and it barely got anywhere, but I think it's the best choice for my health and for the quality of my work too.

But to give y'all something, here's the Chapter 2 that I finished last year! Be aware that this story is now scrapped and kinda not canon, but it's a fun read I guess.

Hi guys, Chapter 1 is here!

I changed my mind about waiting until I created 5 chapters to post something, mostly because I worried that it would take too long. Chapter 1 would be here just so that you guys have something to chew on until I catch up to my Chapter 5 goal, I hope you enjoy it!

Update Post

Hi! I am still alive and this comic is still... alive!

I have Chapter 1 completed and Chapter 2 is currently in progress. The reason why Chapter 1 and future chapters won't be posted immediately after completion is that I am planning to make 5 in advance before posting!

The comic will be posted on a (hopefully) monthly basis, so I wanted to have a couple chapters premade in the chance that I fall behind schedule (which I definitely will, due to college). So it will be quite a while until you see any more of Merman Lupin, but rest assured that something is being made!

Meanwhile, perhaps check out a one-shot comic I made a couple years back about Goemon and Merlupin's first meeting! It's no longer canon, but it still provides good context to the premise of the story. Thank you!
