Two weeks in a row with blog posts? Is this an indication of things returning to a proper status quo? I should hope so, there’s going to be a lot of regular posting happening soon, because the Fifth Ace Comics Ko-Fi tiers are now live!
Yes, it’s happening, and you can see it for yourself by clicking that brand spanking new link that says “Ko-Fi” right up there in the header bar! The Ko-Fi account is the place where you can see early and exclusive uploads of upcoming Fifth Ace Comics stories by throwing a few bucks my way every month. As I said last week, this means WIPs, first looks at new pages, and full issues available on the Ko-Fi store, even if you aren’t subscribed!
It’s a little bare bones at the moment, as there’s only so much up there right now, but once Exemplar #1 is completed, there’s going to be a veritable deluge of stuff being uploaded. Pages will begin uploading on this site at the old schedule of Mon/Wed/Fri, while uploads to the Ko-Fi will be happening every single day until the issue is completed, so if you’re subscribed, you’ll see the full thing before anyone else. Unless of course, you’re a fourth tier aka Spades aka $10 subscriber, in which case you’ll be able to read the full issue in pdf form; that tier will go live when said issue is done. PLUS, that full issue will contain an exclusive 4-page backup story that will not be readable anywhere else, so if you want to see every nook and cranny of this superhero universe, be ready to sign up when that tier becomes available.
So, when will that issue be complete and all this stuff will be kicking off? Official answer is… soon. Yes, I know that’s vague, it all depends how quickly I can get the artwork done, but I will say this: barring any mishaps or unforeseen pitfalls, I will have the artwork finished within the next two weeks. Exemplar #1 WILL drop this month, come hell or high water. I’ve been going all out on getting the final colour rendering finished, which is why you may have noticed a lack of Magic Beans this past week. Such may be the case next week too, but I am determined to get this comic done so that I finally have some more stuff to show you all again.
However, I should probably clean up the house a bit too… Let me get that sorted and I’ll be right back to the grindstone. Keep your eyes open, it’s all coming together!
Ciao for now.
