Hi everyone!

Phrora is absolutely right, it probably is about time I give you all a proper update on Explorer Chronicles and what to expect in the next two months.

Chapter 2 Update

Chapter 2 is currently in its inking phase, with about 2-3 pages being finished each week. This chapter will be about over 60 pages, but not over 70 this time.

Chapter 2 is slated to start within October, just before the 1st anniversary of Explorer Chronicles. Like the previous chapter, Explorer Chronicles will update every Thursday with 2 or 3 pages, as per usual. Pages will be mostly released in inked (black & white) format, although…we may decide to release certain pages in color. We would to love to show more comic pages in vivid color whenever we get the opportunity.

The scripting and preparation for Chapter 3 is about 50% done!
