First, I noticed I've cleared 500,000 deviation views! Thank you all so much! :D

Second, I've decided to start a patreon! This has been a tricky decision, because of my disability.

First issue - I need original content.
Others have patreons for fan works, but I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea. What I really want to do is have a original second comic running at the same time as the Kyoshi story.

Second issue - what about my hands? Can I handle two comics at once?

I've been practing and improving my effeciency, and I feel very confident that I can make 3 pages per month. If I only do super quick shading, or no shading at all, I might even be able to manage a page per week. Maybe. I'd like to make the second comic entirely in color though, but color takes about twice as long.

So then I have the choice of two pages for each comic per month (maybe), or 2 for Kyoshi/only one for Shards but in color. One page per month is utterly glacial for a comic, though.

So what I'm probably going to do is the same as I'm doing for the Kyoshi comic, using color and shading where it's more important. But then what happens when the Kyoshi story needs color? I guess it'll have to be one update a month also. Hopefully I'll be able to improve my speed and efficiency further.

It's not optimal at all, but it's the best idea I've got. :/ The only other option isn't really an option - putting the Kyoshi comic on hiatus for years. I've built up my fan base with the Kyoshi comic and I don't want to disappoint you all like that.

So two comics it is. I've almost got the website ready and enough pages to start. I'm quite excited, I've been writing this story for ages! :)
