Cinderfrost Ch.6 Pg.42 (Patreon)

It's an extremely surreal thing to wrap up a comic this long, so a surreal final page felt fitting.

I went back to check when I posted the first page of Cinderfrost, and it was in January of 2013. To say that I didn't anticipate I'd still be working on it over a decade later would be an understatement. I started it as a fun 'mini' project. The first chapter was intended to be the story in its entirety. Just a little love story with some supernatural flavour, but nothing too intense.

After six chapters, and two side comics (The Silk Sash and The Sword of Souls) this comic finally comes to a close.

There are still more stories I want to tell in this universe, so in reality it hasn't really 'ended.' We'll still get a taste of what happens to the characters from this story in future comics. Now that I've expanded the universe and sent characters through portals into fantastical realms, suffice it to say I could probably write comics in this universe until I died and it would never be done. But Cinderfrost, at least, is done!

That feels like an achievement, now. Over the years, I've changed so much, it's hard to recognize the artist I was back when I started that first page. The comic has evolved with me over the years, and it means a lot to have had you guys with me for it, some of you from the very beginning.

I first started this patreon because I knew that, without support, I wouldn't be able to finish it. It had gotten too big, too expansive, too unwieldy to do in whatever scraps of spare time I found. You all came through for me with that support, and while I say 'thank you' each month, it never quite feels commensurate with what that support means: that I could continue to make comics for this long, and even finish them.

There's more comic work to come! The next one will be a slight break from the usual. I want to do some erotic shorts. Maybe they'll be part of this universe, maybe not! But they'll mostly be 'simplistic' stories to give my brain a little breather and allow me to experiment a little with the style of colouring!

In the spirit of making it collaborative, I'll be posting about the different ideas I have and letting you all vote on which one I draw next! In the meantime, thank you again for being the incredible patrons you have been, and hopefully I'll see you in this new world soon <3
