CMYK is finally here! I can't believe it. I started working behind the scenes on this comic in 2010 and it has changed SO MUCH. I'm really grateful for Hayley's help in writing it as well because doing Taiki I realized that writing was my biggest weakness. (Like, I can come up with concepts; beginning, middle, and end, but not the stuff in between those.) All the stuff she added to the script was such a huge surprise and I love it. I can't wait to share it with all of you readers.
I had originally wanted to launch CMYK with multiple pages but in the end I decided to only post 1 because it stood well on it's own and I felt like it was better for me to have a few pages as a buffer.
I hope you guys enjoy CMYK and let's get this started!
Hey everyone! I'll be at Phoenix Comicon at Artist Alley table AA38 from May 24th-26th! It'll be my first time selling at a convention so I'm both excited and nervous. haha I will have Taiki books, CMYK: Color Changes Everything teaser books, Fionna and Cake/Korra/Avengers Prints, stickers, and lots of hand drawn sketchcards!
Wow! I can't believe it! After working on Taiki for 6 years it's over. Even though I had originally intended on the story going on much longer than it did, I do believe I did the right thing in ending it where I did. I will miss each and every character very much and I'm sad to see it end. It still hasn't really sunk in that it's over though it probably will once I'm done drawing the epilogue for the book. haha
I had no idea what I was doing when I started as you can probably tell so I am grateful for all of the things that I have learned doing this comic that I can put towards my future projects. I am also very grateful for all of my readers and fans. Thanks for sticking with me when I didn't update often and for coming back. I couldn't have done it without you guys! I met a lot of awesome people from doing this comic and I hope to stay friends with them even when moving onto new projects.
I can't believe how fast the Taiki Kickstarter was funded! Thanks again everyone who is helping me out with that! I understand that the timing was bad and not a lot of people have extra money around Christmas time so I appreciate all that you guys are doing for me. It's really exciting to see it made into a book and I can't wait for the moment that I can hold it in my hands. I'm sure it will be amazing!
As for my next comic CMYK, at this point I hope to start it in February once I'm done with all the Taiki book and Kickstarter stuff. I hope to see you guys there! =D
Hey everyone, a lot has happened behind the scenes in Taiki news that I need to share. The company that was publishing my Taiki comics has decided to shut down so I will have to publish Taiki on my own. To do this I will need to have a Kickstarter. I posted a poll on the Taiki site asking how many people would actually buy the book so please add your input, it would be very helpful.
In the end I have decided to print the whole book as 1 entire story instead of having multiple volumes because it would save on cost and have a higher probability of selling. It was decided not to continue the issues that I originally started getting printed of Chapter 3 because they didn't sell very well unfortunately. As for the Kickstarter itself I would have bundles that include the original print run of Issue 1 of Chapter 3. This would be most likely the last chance to get those comics as the company behind them is sending me the last of them and will never be printed again.
So far what I have concluded for the book:
- All 375 comic pages (not including the intermissions).
- 25 pages of extras (8 page mini Christmas comic never shown online, Epilogue, written out versions of original endings and other parts cut from the story, history of the Taiki characters, etc.)
- Printed as a 400 page manga sized book.
Backer rewards would include pdf versions of the book, signed books, the original chapter 3 comic, possibly buttons, and original art. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on what they would like to see please let me know! Thanks.
Having the entire story of Taiki in book form would be like a dream come true for me. I have worked on this project for 6 and half years and having a physical book of it to hold be just be amazing. :D
And as for news on CMYK, I had originally planned on finishing the Taiki pages a couple of months early and having CMYK start right away while the end of Taiki was still posting to the web but I don't think that will happen now. My work schedule is too hectic and I haven't gotten as many Taiki pages done as I had wanted. So CMYK will most likely start in January of 2013. February at the latest depending on how much of it I want to get done before starting it. Thank you for your patience if you're waiting for that one to start. C:

I am a huge fan of webcomic artists printing their comics and selling them in book form if they're serious about finishing the project someday. I always buy the printed forms of my favorite ones to both support the artist and to have a collection. I especially like collecting the special edition ones that are signed and drawn in. haha So I'd like to share my collection so far if anyone is interested in knowing. C:
