First I want to repeat my sincere gratitude to everyone following this project. I have put so much work into this and sacrificed so much to do it while living under generally poor conditions. It's hard to articulate how much having even a small an audience means without sounding mawkishly sentimental. But the last six months really saved me.
The upcoming chapters are planned to be longer than what came before in Part One. I hope each upcoming release can be enjoyed as a satisfying update on the whale's journey.
I'm also being more ambitious with some of the illustration and am trying to push art further. When Ch. 5 finally comes out I hope it's readily apparent what took so long. I've done A LOT of painting since August when I was able to resume work, both digital and watercolor.
Everyone who has donated to the project on Ko-fi will receive a fish sketch as part of the supporter mural. The example in the video is still a work in progress, that's the general plan. Fish size roughly matches donation. Basically the people who put up with the wait and help me make this get inscribed into the end as a sea creature doodle. This is the most important thing I could think to give supporters.

The Making Of art book is also a way to support me and get something in return.
However the VN is free and these payments are entirely optional! If I was mad about non-payment I would have set a price on it 😄 Truthfully sharing South Scrimshaw with others is almost of equal value to me as I try to grow my audience.
Tl;dr I'm working on Part 2 and you can wishlist it in advance.
