quick post to let y'all know i'm gettin closer to finishing the drawings i promised you all from the pick-a-fandom poll 👍
kickstarter all finished!!!
big big BIG thank you to everyone who helped support this, whether through funds or reblogs or even well wishes ;;w;;//
i am now ᵍᵒᶦⁿᵍ ᵗᵒ ᶜᵒˡˡᵃˢᵖᵉ ᶦⁿᵗᵒ ᵃ ʰᵉᵃᵖ
Any chance the Touch of Sunlight PDF (and maybe the bonus PDFs) will be available on Kofi or somewhere similar at a later time? I wanted to pledge but Kickstarter doesn't take Paypal or maestro debit cards and that's all I got ;-;
Aw shucks, I'm sorry about that. Depending on how things go with publishers, permissions and the like, hosting the PDF somewhere else isn't impossible. Maybe gumroad?
But at the very least, I don't plan on having the webtoon itself behind any paywall.
~At long last, we're finishing up~
This is it, we're down to the final day to support this project!
And in celebration for your incredible support, I've decided to open back up 10 more slots in the ⭐special tier⭐- where you get the book & all the goodies, but also a one-of-a-kind copic drawing by me~! These are limited so if it seems like something you want, now's your chance!
Wow! I've seen your TTOS panels for years here on Tumblr and I can't believe there's a whole completed version available!
I tried searching up FAQ and looking on the Kickstarter FAQ, but I did not see this answer. I'm sorry if you've answered this one before!
If we are unable to afford in time for the Kickstarter, will you be offering physical copies of the books after it has ended?
If you're unable to afford it before the kickstarter ends, there may be some hope??
I'm planning to take TToS to publishers and be like 'heyyy i got this kickstarter that did alright, please invest!' But alas, I can't promise it'll go well.
I don't have any means of publishing independently outside of crowdfunding, so the kickstarter is your surest bet.
oh yooo i just realized i could fulfill my end of the homestuck bargain and practice shading at the same time
y'all in for it now
u know what that means...
For this prompt, I'll be googling a list of characters and working off the vibes I get from images alone.
oh - i also forgot to mention! the runner up will have a chance to be drawn as well if we hit 26k before the KS finishes too~
We have our winners!!!

Slides in with a heads up: clock's ticking on this project, and will be closing in one short week!
By joining, not only will you have the chance to get some cool stretch goal rewards, you'll also be helping me afford the time I'll need to take on new webcomic projects!
(and also getting close to deciding the fate of my latest fanart)
Aight y'all~! We've got just under two weeks left for TToS kickstarter, and are cruisin by at a lovely ✨19.9k~!✨
And while I'm still puttin together the concept art pdf, I've been scrounging thru my brain to find an enticement I could offer that would not:
- exhaust my already oof'ed body
- be a physical item
- take 15 years to draw, as i'm a slooow artist
buT THEN. i gots it. for the next goal, y'all can do somethin special.
If we reach 22k, I'll let you guys decide(vote via tumblr poll) which fanart I'll make next, with a twist: I'll be drawing for a fandom I know nothing about.
thas right baby we got Lore Olympus, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Genshin Impact, and Homestuck in the docket. If you wanna suggest another fandom into the mix, I'm all ears!! And if we reach that first goal, the remaining ones will be up for a round 2 at 26k!

Hello! Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what's the minimum tier amount to receive the stretch goals merch, $35 or $50? $35 gets you a physical book but $50 gets you a book + merch, so I wanted to clarify!
I definitely plan to get a physical copy either way, and I'm so happy to see you got completely funded so fast! You deserve all the support! 💗
The unlocked stretch goals start at the $35 tier~!
All you need to get is a physical book to receive those. The $50 tier gets you an additional 6 stickers and a 7x11" print, which are exclusive to that specific merch tier ^^
Hey y'all, happy friday! It's formal update time for The Touch of Sunlight Kickstarter ^^/
I wanted to take a moment and better showcase the treats you've all unlocked~ (no more 175 pixel previews) Featured above, we have the updated book cover, which will be hard cover this time! Everybody who backed for the book will get this sturdier version, no paperbacks. And, oh goody-
-it shinessss. It will have some pleasing gold foil for framing.
Next we've got the mini print, this time with rose gold foil. I'm particularly delighted about this one, as I'd had it as an old print idea back when I was first making the story in 2020. It's nice that I got to revisit it for this and really polish it up ^///^
After that, we've got one of the more popular items in fan merch these days: an enamel pin!! For this, I went for something different. Some moon flowers and implied harp notes make for a subtler reference to ttos.
And lastly, we've just unlocked a bookmark! For this one, we've got Nulo on their well chair(with accompanying thread), so you can make them descend and ascend from any story of your choosing.
Or, swing them around like a bola. I won't judge.
If you decide to back for a physical book or higher, all of this comes for free!! As well as a pdf featuring some concept art and a bit of my original, janky notes for this story.
So to say it again, with feeling - thank you all so much for your support. This is going to go a long way to helping me make more stories like this.
Anonymous asked:
If you backed the kickstarter at the physical copy+merch tier before it hit the stretch goals, do you need to pay any extra to get the hardcover book or the extra merch?
Nope! None at all! Everyone who paid for a physical book tier, no matter when they bought, even if they passed on the stickers/print, are gonna get the stretch goals with no extra cost ^^/

I’m so excited for Touch of Sunlight! As soon as I get paid I’m backing cause your art is one of my favorite things to ever exist!!! I hope you succeed in becoming a comic artist, your style and story telling is breathtaking! Keep being amazing
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH AND GOD DO I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANNA MAKE COMICS FOREVER SO DANG BAD.
the webtoon form of The Touch of Sunlight is what I came up with in about 3 months, start to finish. For me that's just like -SMACK- hit the ground running kind of time, the-secondish-draft-will-have-to-do kind of time. And it works! I think!
I've had a taste of what I'm capable of accomplishing and by GOLLY I'm ready to bring so many of my other silly stories into reality.
Fingers are crossed that this starts me down that path 🤞🤞🤞🤞
For the kickstarter- does the price for the physical copy tier include shipping (for the US?)
The physical copy doesn't include shipping in the tier price. It's $10 more for shipping to the US, but it's no additional price for any of the unlocked stretch goals.
We're looking to add a bookmark and t-shirt next.
WELL
THERE
WE
GO !!!!!!!!
Well dang!! In no time at all, we've soared past the original stretch goals I'd laid out, and unlocked all these goodies! I'm working with my collaborator currently to see what other merch items are available for further stretch goals, but-
If you decide to back now, anyone who buys a physical book will get all these extras for no additional charge :DDD
This short romance is an enchanting tale of warmth, choice, and of breaking bonds.

Our story begins with Nulo, a night-bound fae who emerges from a well every full moon to grant wishes. They withstand the solitude by the short contact they have with their guests, and the trinket each leaves behind for a brief moment. But what should happen, when a guest wishes for something they don't even understand? What does it mean, when she says she wants to know… how are they?

Newcomers to this tale, you're in luck! If you want to see what emotions are in store for you, you can read it in full, in its premiere Webtoon form right here.
-----------------------------
At last, we are live!!! This project marks my entry into offering standalone, physical merch. If you've ever wanted to have some of my art in your hands, here's your chance~ Alongside the book itself, there will prints and stickers. And if we meet the stretch goals, even more!
There is also a special tier where you can receive a little traditional doodle I'd make with copic markers, but be aware that those are first come, first serve.
That said, I've added a lot more to the kickstarter version to make it sing like:
- 50+ additional panels 📝
- small emotional sequences 💖
- A nine page epilogue for those who wanted a little more touch in the touch of sunlight 👩❤️💋👩
If all goes well, I'm hoping that this kickstarter will help me get my footing to start making comics full time, something that I've always, always wanted to do.
If you have read this far, Thank You. It means a lot for this even to be seen, and I'm truly grateful for any and all support. That's a form of sunlight all on it's own to me.

The Kickstarter pre-launch page can be found here
While this project was primarily made to turn the online comic into physical form, that doesn't mean it's simply a one-to-one version of the webtoon >:3c
I've added many more panels to the story, revised some dialogue and backgrounds, and have even put in a little epilogue - the first panel of which is featured above!
Official launch will be on Friday, April 28th \o/
