2 panels left! ✨ I hope I can finish this episode tomorrow, so we get a new update on Thursday 😌 This act actually contains an episode which I was planning since the very beginning of the series and the closer we get to more motivated I am 😀

Weekend is just around the corner which means my motivation for drawing will return as well (at least I hope so). This week I spend some time working on my offline wiki, since my comic starts to grow in complexity. But most of the time I tried to figure out how the wiki syntax works πŸ˜…

Sketched three concepts and I'm pleased with the results so far 😌 Now I need to do a bunch of research ~

I'm thinking about creating a White Meadow spin-off story. A short one. 10 episodes at most. It would be connected to the plot of act 4 but isn't required to understand the 'main series'. Just a little extra for those interested. With a different protagonist.

I'm pleased to say that I was able to thumbnail the entire next episode in just two days πŸ€— ...don't look too much into these sketches - they will make sense when the episode is done πŸ˜…

I got a new phone that also has a pen, so I can now sketch and thumbnail in my lunch break at work πŸ€— Maybe this will help me finishing episodes quicker πŸ˜…

While drawing act 3, I'm struggling with writing the script for act 4. This is my first time writing a main plot with an additonal B plot 😡 Fun fact: My scripts are written in a weird amalgamation of English and German. Sometimes I even switch between languages mid-sentence πŸ˜…

Use reference. I’m serious. I get it that somehow you or someone convinced you that using reference is β€œcheating.” It’s not. You are just hindering yourself.

Pinya looks like an incredible webcomic platform from what I've seen. You can even access your creator studio via the app which is amazing 😱 I still have to check it out more but maybe it's going to become another home for White Meadow 🀭

Here are some panels from the upcoming episode 22 ✨ Currently my workplace has an annual phase which I call 'The Gauntlet' and it's so exhausting that don't have any energy left to work on WM πŸ˜ͺ Also, this episode is going to be a bit longer than usual, so it needs more time to finish πŸ˜…

Found this older panel that I drew when I was still working on act 2 ✨ I used to draw some act 3 panels beforehand to get an idea for the vibes. Here you can see Linda and Celine wearing different outfits than in the actual act 3. You could say this is WM beta footage 🀭

I want to let you guys know that I'm very thankful for all the support and kind words my comic received recently! β€οΈπŸ€— I'm working on the next episode but progress is reeeeally slow. Still, I want to keep going because I think act 3 is going to have some neat moments 😌

With Tapas shutting down soon, the idea of hosting own websites for webcomics becomes more popular again. A very own website opens up so many possibilities! Like you can also add a small wiki, so readers can look up things if they forgot or didn't understand something in the story.

A wiki always begs the question how to handle spoilers. It would be unfortunate if someone looked up a character because they forgot what happened to them just to be spoiled about future episodes by accident. πŸ€”
