Oren's Forge PG 318 (Finale!)
Added 2024-05-13 21:00:06 +0000 UTCWe’re here again, the end of one thing and the start of something new! Thank you guys for being here with me. I’ve said it many times before, but now of all times, it’s best to reiterate. This story would simply not exist if not for your patronage. I am deeply appreciative that you’ve opted to invest in both me as a creator and Oren’s Forge as the outcome!
What’s next?
Immediately next will be an epilogue. It’ll shed some light on what’s coming for Volume Three, which will pick up right where we left the main story. I’ll post the first epilogue page on the 27th.
Next week, I’ll be focusing on KickStarter preparation. The KickStarter will be for funding a printed version of Volume Two (~124 pages, including the epilogue), similar to the first volume/the KickStarter in 2021. I’ll post separately about the KickStarter details soon, as well as the finished cover, bookplate, etc. In brief though, KickStarter will be fairly streamlined like the first with similar tiers, including a discounted ‘Early Bird’ option, a numbered bookplate edition and the top level tier with original art. I’d love to launch around either the end of May or early June, so stay tuned for that!
I have a couple more WIPs from earlier I’ll post this month, too, plus a proper wrap-up with some notes I took over the course of this chapter. In that wrap-up, I’ll also lay out the summer plans and when Volume Three will pick up again.
Thank you all again! I hope you’ll stick around to see what’s coming next!

2024-05-17 08:29:41 +0000 UTCI think it might be a good situation for Rask to talk to Oren about his idea of bringing more predators into the Hollow

2024-05-15 20:57:33 +0000 UTCIdea for the Kickstarter: a volume one and two bundle?

2024-05-14 22:19:29 +0000 UTCI am not sure yet, most likely after the summer. I have a short comic (similar to Oren and the One-Eyed Wolf, maybe 8 pages) that I want to post first.

2024-05-14 18:28:19 +0000 UTCYes-- I'll do one with the wrap-up later this week!

2024-05-14 18:26:50 +0000 UTCHi Teagan. I would like to ask. Will you be doing Q&A?

2024-05-14 13:18:43 +0000 UTCWhat’s wrong Cotton? It’s just one wolf, I thought “just two wolves” were so handleable to you already.

2024-05-14 05:26:57 +0000 UTCI don’t think they’re stupid enough to give her the same attitude so quickly. I remember one of them saying that they forgot how big wolves were.

2024-05-14 05:14:28 +0000 UTCHow soon till volume 3 starts

2024-05-14 03:31:35 +0000 UTCThis volume has certainly taken us on an incredible journey. Can't wait for the next one!

2024-05-14 02:06:50 +0000 UTCLooking forward to the kickstarter for Volume Two. The first one is, hands (paws?) down, the most gorgeous printed comic I’ve ever received from an online graphic novel printing. I highly recommend getting a copy for those on the fence. Definitely worth it!

2024-05-14 00:18:50 +0000 UTCThanks! Glad I stuck the landing! I have debated with myself about including the One-Eyed Wolf into the next print version. I'm not sure-- it falls into this weird nebulous timeline. It's better to read BEFORE Incursion, but it also doesn't fit there-- it throws off the pacing of the rest of the story if it comes first. I might have it as a stretch goal to include in the back, but we'll see.

2024-05-13 23:32:46 +0000 UTCI love this finale!! Love Lichen’s lack of concern so much haha. So excited for what’s to come, and can’t wait to back the Kickstarter. Will the story of the one-eyed wolf be published in the print version of volume 2? :)

2024-05-13 23:15:03 +0000 UTCHonestly, if I thought more than a handful of people would get it, I would have absolutely done that.

2024-05-13 22:35:30 +0000 UTCI almost expected Oren to say 'Hraka!'

2024-05-13 21:27:56 +0000 UTCI suspect Swift will be less passive than Rask was about any barbs the hollow might throw at her.

2024-05-13 21:26:28 +0000 UTCExcited to see this conclusion to the volume 2. It was really an amazing chapter to follow and I'm looking forward to the Kickstarter and the WIPs.
Pantera
2024-05-13 21:25:52 +0000 UTCI'm very curious what Swift brought with her as a sign that she won't do anything bad.

2024-05-13 21:21:55 +0000 UTCWooo excited!
