For those of you who have been following the original iteration of "Natik," you've probably noticed that it had become inactive for several years.

Not to get too detailed about my personal life, but I was in a very toxic living situation during that time and as a result of that environment my energy and joy and desire to draw was completely sapped. Thankfully, I am now living in my own place and am in a much better place in life. I'm back in school now, majoring in Fine Arts. For the first time in a very long time, I feel hopeful for the future.

I've spent a good chunk of time this past year improving my art skills and tweaking Natik's plot and script, as well as worldbuilding, character design, and other elements. I promised myself I wouldn't give up on this story, and I haven't. However, I did feel that a do-over was the best course of action for the story.

The comic will be updating on a chapter-per-month basis, as opposed to page-by-page. I'm not sure when I will release the prologue just yet, but the first few chapters are being worked on as we speak, and my goal is to start working on it more regularly once summer hits.

Thanks, all. Stay safe.
