Engram I 14

Engram

Dot's mother is a famous space explorer. A famous missing space explorer. Missing like Dot-has-a-letter-from-the-Council-of-Human-Affairs kind of missing, not just the usual Mom-missing.

But Dot has a theory - and a plan. A theory that hinges on an old spacer's fairy tale and plan that relies on Dot's home-grown techno-baubles actually working (for once). But it is a real theory, and a real plan - and with the help of her trusty spaceship, Dot is going to bring her mother home.

My apologies for just suddenly disappearing. Winter was not kind to me, speaking strictly of mental health stuff, and I got hit hard with the burnout while this page was half-done. So... this page marks the end of Chapter 1! Yay, a 7th of the way through! With that, I have a couple of announcements to make:

1. There will be another delay in moving to Chapter 2. I don't know how long, because I'm looking to get some buffer going again, and also because I'm hoping I can find an editor or someone to look over my writing and stop me from writing myself into a corner, like I almost did in this chapter. My nerve injury is coming along ok but it's probably still gonna be a while that I have to take things a lot slower than I'd like.

2. You can follow me on instagram @knyalisa (which I'm currently setting up, so don't be surprised by a ton of artwork being uploaded - it's all older stuff that I'm still happy with) or on twitter @knyalisa for updates on both Engram and other art stuff I'm doing.

3. When I return this comic is gonna look a little different. (The font already is, as you can see.) I realized recently that the program I've been using is not at all conducive to me being able to draw fast, so I'll be making the switch. I'm certainly not planning anything drastic, but there will probably be a slightly different aesthetic feel to the art since the tools do act differently between programs.

I'm glad you're posting again! I have to admit that I've lost track of the story so I'll have to start over. This is really good and well worth it!

Aw, thank you! Feels good to be back, even if I'm gonna have to be doing some behind the scenes stuff again for the net little while. Sorry to hear it's been so long that you've lost track - but hey, at least there's not too much to re-read, haha!

Aww, dat's all? Well, I subbed in case it picks back up. It looks like one of the best new comics ever!

Hey! Really happy to hear you enjoyed it :) I am working on continuing it - finishing the script and doing more development and design for upcoming chapters because I got kind of burned out doing it on the fly for Chapter 1. Unfortunately I had an injury that just kinda... refuses to go away, so progress has been slow - but I will be posting an update soon on how that's going!

Aww, sorry to hear about your injury. I have health problems which refuse to go away too. But sometimes they get better slowly, so I hope your injury gets better in the end too. :) I look forward to new pages at whatever pace they come.
