Soonish. All the physical rewards except for some cards and stuff are almost finished and being sent out to backers soon. After all that she'll probably start updating the comic again.

Like going to a restaurant and paying the cooks to go and wash your car instead.

>>78758029
But anon, at least you get your car cleaned.

>>78755286
For some reason I though Wrava might have had chest bumps in one or two panels, but apparently I was wholly mistaken.

Someone needs to draw a visual gag about an (Wr)Ava titfuck being some guy just getting his junk slammed in her chest-drawer.

>>78758029
Actually, it's closer to going to a restaurant and paying all the cooks to make you a personal meal, so the restaurant has to close for everyone else.

>>78758093
Unfortunately it took the cook half a year longer than promised to clean your car.

Where are you getting this information, I can't find it anywhere online. Do you know the creator?

>>78763332
I donated to the second kickstarter. I've been getting backer updates.

Incentives of physical property for continued success of free, digital media was a mistake.

It's nothing but trash.

But seriously though, something's gotta give. People are going to have to realize that it's better to just give the author the money they need and expect nothing from it but the fact the financial security will keep creation on the rails they were on. Putting books together is a fucking nightmare. I've seldom heard of it going really well for the creator.

>>78763426
>I've seldom heard of it going really well for the creator.
Works out well for Unsounded by Ashley Cope. Her books weren't as elaborate as the ones for AD, but still.

>>78763371
I see. Did she really say updates would start up soon, or is that more of a speculation derived from other information?

>>78763484
>Ashley Cope
Yep.

That's the one case I know of, too.

>>78763426
>Putting books together is a fucking nightmare. I've seldom heard of it going really well for the creator.
I know of tons of webcomic books that have been put together and sold successfully by their creators, kickstarter after kickstarter. Basically it takes a responsible and hard working type of person to pull it off, and if they do it well once you know they have what it takes to keep up with it for the next book.

Michelle does not fall into this category of people, this is her second Kickstarter that she's left hanging like this.

>>78763497
>speculation derived from other information
That. On January first she put out an update about damaged cards she received and how she's looking for a different printer to make them since she didn't want to send out damaged crap. She also mentioned that they were beginning on getting the speed pact orders out, which is the first phase of shipping physical goods. Assuming (keyword here) they get stuff shipping out regularly, I could see everything being finished and shipped by the end of February. She then has the animation she needs to assist with, but I would venture a guess that updates to the comic will start again around spring.

>>78763610
>Basically it takes a responsible and hard working type of person to pull it off, and if they do it well once you know they have what it takes to keep up with it for the next book.
It also takes a huge ass chunk of time that could've been spent just creating the work.

Ashley Cope had a background in PRINTWORK so that made it a lot easier on her.

What if a creator wants to live, but doesn't want to put out a book? What the fuck do they do? It's a huge risk to force on creators across the board.

>>78763584
You don't seem to read a lot of webcomcs then. Kickstarted webcomic books that I have and were delivered without problems:

-Unsounded vol 1 and 2 by Ashley Cope
-a Redtail's dream and SSSS book 1 by Minna Sundberg
-Namesake vol1 and 2 by Isabelle M. and Megan L.
-Digger by Ursula Vernon
-A couple of Girl Genius books by the Phoglios
-Broodhollow volume 1 by Kris Straub
-ReMind volumes 1 and 2 by some guy whose name I can't remember

Webcomic books that I know Kickstarted and were delivered but that I didn't care to get:
-a bunch of books by David Willis
-The first SMBC collection
-Cucumber quests books 1 and 2


And I bet there's many more that I don't know of or can't remember.

>>78763732
>It's a huge risk to force on creators across the board.

No one is forcing webcomic artists to make books. They often are listening to their fans asking for books and if they take the initiative to make books that's on them.


>What if a creator wants to live, but doesn't want to put out a book?

That's what shit like patreon is for these days. Or you could always try the traditional methods of running ads on your site, asking for donations, or working a 9-5 job and doing art on the side.

Making books and physical goods is far from the only way to make money as a webcomic artist.

>>78763732
>What if a creator wants to live, but doesn't want to put out a book? What the fuck do they do? It's a huge risk to force on creators across the board.
Yeah, all those evil people forcing Michelle to make a book, shame on them.

>>78763807
A couple of books I could add to that list:

The Namesake gals successfully managed and Kickstarted a comic anthology named Valor on top of handling their own comic without a hitch

Johnny Wander

TJ and Amal omnibus

In fact most webcomic Kickstarters I see are handled pretty decently by the artists, you just don't hear about the ones that don't fuck up.

>>78763807
A lot of times the creators end up promising more incentives than are financially viable. And by the end of the kickstarter, they've paid out of pocket. It's rarely talked about, because it's embarrassing.

This is more business knowledge burden than you should put on people who need to be putting their all into honing stories. They've been backed into a corner. A self-fulfilled outright lie of "You need to print a book, to make a living." Print media is overrated. I have a nedroid book I never open. It's not the best way of consuming it, or sharing it.

I'm telling you, it's not just a matter of work ethic. I'm a webcomic artist and I swear to god I still don't know the fucking difference between RGB and CMYK. I really don't have time for all the details.

Am I saying "YOU MADE HER DO THIS"? No. What kind of asshole accuses me of saying that? Oh, this asshole I guess: >>78763866

But, as awhole, be happy with no book existing at all. The greatest prize, is a consistent update schedule. THAT has been taken monumentally for granted.

>>78763813
>or working a 9-5 job and doing art on the side.
No one's hiring.

>>78764204
>A lot of times the creators end up promising more incentives than are financially viable. And by the end of the kickstarter, they've paid out of pocket. It's rarely talked about, because it's embarrassing.
So which ones of the creators on the list you're replying to had to pay for the books out of pocket?
It's like you have this set notion that it's impossible to make a book and sell it with a profit through Kickstarter so anybody who is disappointed with what's going on with Ava's Demon is an artist-hating monster, but several people on the list were actually able to keep on making comics because of the profits from their Kickstarters AND didn't put their comics on gigantic hiatuses.

>>78764570
I'm tired of talking to you specifically.

>>78764570
I think you missed this little tidbit in his post
>I'm telling you, it's not just a matter of work ethic. I'm a webcomic artist and

Basically the webcomic artists you listed just got lucky with how their Kickstarters turned out, it had nothing to do with their work ethics of project management skills.

>>78763813
>or working a 9-5 job and doing art on the side

>>78764204
So your philosophy is to make excuses for those who don't do their jobs properly or are lazy and to invalidate the work done by those who do put in the effort and succeed at something? Sorry your webcomic isn't doing as great as some others, but it might have something to do with your attitude.

>>78764715
Everyone in this thread already knows every part of what you just said.

But you didn't know that. You thought you were helping us learn something new just now.

No, this thread is about you now. Please post your webcomic, you talked shit about the Nedroid book, I want to see what caliber of stuff you're putting out.

>>78765065
That's certainly a start.

Next step is getting people to believe in paying me for the service I was doing pro bono, due to the slow shambling undeath of the physical comic book industry (in the americas, not in france or japan) that didn't change my inner flame to create stories to weave worlds.

That one's a toughie.

Your patreon isn't taking off, huh?

>my inner flame to create stories to weave worlds.
If you're the writer of your webcomic then that's your problem right there. I know a lot of terribly written webcomics make decent bucks on Patreon but you're still fighting an uphill battle.

>>78765328
I don't see why you're trying to turn this evil. Can't we just talk?

If you want serious non-snarky answers: I have not created a Patreon yet. Most people would say "There's no reason not to start one immediately" and I disagree.

From what I've seen, (and I'm going to mix metaphors here) an empty jar is more likely to stay empty for awhile. The sight of rolling tumbleweeds is kinda unnerving. It's better to build some water pressure before swinging the valve open. So I bide my time, waiting on the right moment. It's not here yet.

To make my comic the best it can possibly be, does need money. But to continue making it as it is, requires no money at all--Except living expenses. Which are paltry, and not being paid by myself (thanks mom.) 1.1k a month. That's all I would need to create my comic indefinitely. But if I were to hire assistants, or create a more immersive experience (musical, animated; webcomics are capable of anything and I've had a lot of ideas to throw people for a loop), the milestone would be triple or quadruple that. But I don't actually know the numbers. And I think it would be shitty to change them halfway in. It seems unfair to the patrons.

I love the idea of patreon. And I do believe in Iwata's blue ocean strategy. But I think it unwise to just start one until you've gotten some hype.

>>78765623
Well, that's the most sensible post you've typed in this thread so far. Good luck with your comic.

Just don't rag on other webcomic creators who have thrown themselves into the challenge of Kickstarting books and who them finished the job in a respectable manner, it makes you seem petty an jealous as a fellow creator.

>>78773587
Or, y'know, because there still isn't an update and there's no new information aside from the cards being fucked up and needing to be reordered. If/when it updates again, feel free to make a thread. This one is just a lot of speculation with very little to discuss.

>>78774818

>>78788947
You seriously believe the printing company drenched the cards in water before sending them? Water damage, scratches and bending of items typically happens when the packages are mistreated in transit, which judging from the pictures they were.

People here on /co like to say that that's the main reason for this whole hiatus, but as per what she's written herself she's just been busy with life (got married and celebrated a new niece) and didn't feel like working too much.

>>78807430
I didn't mean that it's the reason for the hiatus. The hiatus is clearly a result of Michelle being completely incapable of managing her time.

>>78797848
She left Tumblr for a brief period because the fucking troglodytes on that site were screaming for her head over the contents of the first two pics in >>78803075 , as well as one character in the comic teasing another over being a virgin.

Then a bunch of people from /co/ of all places who weren't total fucknuggets got together and sent her a bunch of support and appreciation messages as a counter to the frothing bullshit of Tumblr.

Now she's back on Tumblr and I think she's basically learned to just tune-out all the puritanical, fickle children.

Oh, that was because the tumblrites in question actually went so far as to DDOS her site. And as a result, her shitty webhost charged her for all the bandwidth that was used.

>>78813308

Look, I agree with the general ideals of social justice but the tumblrite troglodyte version is not it. They're just braindead bullies out for attention. The only logical and sane response to them is to try to ignore them. If it gets to the level it did here, with actual DDOS, the tumblrites should be found and punished. Made to pay for bandwidth, arrested for harassment. These are flat-out bad people who only do harm to the causes they claim to care about (but they don't actually, they just want attention and excuses to attack, torment, and hurt people).

Social justice goes back to the crazy idea that the few people who weren't born aristocrats might deserve basic human rights, numbnut. Expanding that to everybody isn't nuts, it's basic common sense. Unless you'd be happy being born a serf (slave) and being tied to the land forever and at the disposal of your Lord, you've got crazy "progressive" ideas to thank.

She is officially lazier than Aaron Diaz.

Social Justice is just Internet Lynch Mobs.

>>78821524

That's what it's become, but since the ideas are thousands of years old (at least) and say the Civil Rights Movement started way before the Internet, obviously it wasn't always that way. That's just the bitchy mentally ill preteen/tumblrite version of it.

>>78821549

Right, I guess I should have said Internet Social Justice.

Oopsie doodle.

Would Muffet appear in the comic?

>>78821644
Maybe.

But she probably shouldn't.

>>78821627
nah, it's just as bad, if not worse, in college.

Just sit down in any given lounge, and wait.

I think not.

>>Now she's back on Tumblr
>What the fuck, why?!
You really thought she left Tumblr because she realized what a cesspit it is? She was queen Tumblrina, complete with starting drama about other people herself, well before she started Ava's Demon and she's built her whole fanbase there. She "left" because she apparently couldn't handle the Tumblr drama when it got directed at her for once, and now she's back because that's her home on the internet.

You'll see, next time some childish teenage girls complain about her comic like this again she'll throw a similar fit, make a big show about it and "leave" again, complete with long blog posts about how she's never coming back.

>>78823645
And virgins on /co think of her as their perfect waifu who hates Tumblr just as much as they do. Too sad, too funny.

>>78823666
I can guarantee you that most of my waifus would think 4chan is worse than Tumblr. I think they're both shit. But at least 4chan is anonymous.

Wow, really? First I've heard of this, but seeing as she cut her teeth in the Homestuck fandom before she went original, I can't say I'm surprised, either.

>>78823645

Sauce? Or was it deleted forever

>>78823645
First time I heard of this, I'm going to assume this is just salt on your part.

>>78824163
I agree with you.

From what I've seen, she seems like one of the more seasoned, reasonable creators. If Michelle was ever a ruthless social-vengeance type, it's gone from her now.

At what point did you lose hope for AD ever being regularly updated ever again?

For me it was in sept. 2015 when she'd missed every kickstarter single milestone she ever set out for herself so far.

>>78824061
Don't believe everything you read on the internet just because someone sounds bitchy.

>>78824163
Seriously.

>>78821478
What you're describing is civil rights, not social justice. SJ is like CR's retarded child.

For the love of god.

Stop caring about the gender of artists.

You don't know the damage. And it's getting so depressing. "Simpsons are still on the air" levels of depressing.

>>78827030
>Stop caring about the gender of artists.
Why?

>You don't know the damage.
Do tell.

>>78827067
No.

Figure out on your own why it's not ideal to openly categorize creators by circumstances of birth.

This is why you don't dump your luck stat, lads.

The only criteria for that last one is "being on the internet at all"

>>78821513
It just boggles me that people are unable to look at HIGHLY SYMBOLIC ART and take what they see as anything but SYMBOLIC.

Characters are fictional. They're not real people. Artists should be allowed to do whatever the fuck they want to them no matter how "offensive" because IT'S NOT REAL.

Then again, those kind of people just go looking for reasons to be mad at something so I don't know what I expect.

>Characters are fictional. They're not real people.

Their arguments range from it being insensitive to sex abuse survivors to it encouraging or even causing actual abuse.

The latter has a lot of backing from government laws against porn of underage characters and reports of little girls in Japan being shown loli hentai so they think it's normal.

One of her mistakes was redrawing a shitload of panels. Seems like a waste of time to me, especially considering most of those panels were good already.

>>78823645
no no no no and no. She left tumblr for a while because not only was she being harassed but her fans were being harassed. Anyone who defended her would get bullied. The tags were filled with nothing but Michelle is a racist/ableist whatever the fuck. She was being branded a pedo to the point of actual other professional artists avoiding her because they thought the rumors were true. As in the way of tumblr, everyone takes a few lines of text as fact. The obsessive bullies were incredibly intrusive to her actual life that she needed a break.

Wrong on both counts.
Darkest is North Korea, largest is Czar Putin's Russia.

that feelio when a character you drew for someone else's game is more popular than your own comic will ever be.

>>78764826
>It isn't a storyteller's job to know the cost of the paper it's printed on, and the shipping cost of that paper.

It is if they want to actually print and ship things you idiot.

It's like saying that it's not an engineer job to know the cost of the materials a bridge it's built and the construction costs of the whole structure.

>>78832687
Yes, but manipulating children with fiction is something you can do with any fiction, not just loli hentai.

Fuck, you could convince children that they actually need to fear the big bad wolf eating grandma because it says so in a book and you can explain to them that this is just a normal thing. That excuse is flimsy as fuck.

Why is Maggie such a cunt?

Yeah, it's basically the 'video game cause school shootings' thing again. It's never the person's fault but whatever he was reading that done it.

I imagine Ava did something that put her life in great jeopardy, which is where she made the pact with Tuls.

You don't have to die or be dying to make a pact. She probably just made a deal with him and that was it.

Still a mystery how they only known eachother 4 years and why Maggie doesn't have glowy eyes in flashbacks and old photos. Hopefully not a repeat of how Gil got Nevy.

>>78836517
It still isn't explained how Nevy got amnesia, and why a mermaid ghost is Wraithia's most powerful warrior.
