I thought it might be a good time to show some tiny details you may have missed. Or maybe not, but just in case.
On page 56. Not too hidden, but you hopefully noticed the Laqueus looking over the shoulder of Gorik.
Or on page 77, where the boy has faint red glowing eyes, he is trying his best to hide. He kept his face hidden intentionally. It's very subtle here, but Willem noticed...
Page 114. This one might not be fair. I uploaded a version with the eyes layer turned off. Caught it the next day and reuploaded it. So, if you've been saving these pages on the first day, you may have missed this one. Managing up to 50+ layers in a Photoshop file isn't easy.
I would recommend you NOT save these pages until the end. I will have this story bound together in a PDF once the story is over. That way, you will have the completed story in a digital book form. You can if you wish, but there are a few errors caught by members which I've fixed and reuploaded.
There are more, but I don't want to point them all out just now. Maybe when we've reached the end, I will give up all the hidden secrets.
I will be posting another bunch of pages today. As I said before, I had worked on some scenes early, just to get through them and solidify them. Knowing I might chicken out on killing off characters I've grown attached to. I did all the sexy scenes and deaths first. For the most part, that is. Though, the dialogue is still waiting to be placed on some pages.
IN OTHER NEWS
All my socials for The Laqueus Amulet will come to a crawl, stopping at one point entirely as we reach the end of this story on Patreon. At that point, there will be no more new memberships. New membership will be capped on both tiers, preventing new members from joining. (Unless someone cancels, opening up that slot to fill). Membership will reopen once the story has concluded and all existing members have downloaded their PDF book for free.
You might ask why?
I think only about my longtime supporters. Those who stuck by me for a duration. It is only fair that they get to view the ending exclusively. It is they who get to download the full PDF without additional charge. This story has been in the works for 5 years of my life. I poured a lot of sweat and tears into this. And some members have stuck by me along the way.
The full PDF will be available for purchase in the Patreon store for $5.00.
The full story will still be available on Patreon in the collections tab.
NOVOLVION
Then, I will go full guns on Novolvion. It is MUCH shorter, but an extremely experimental story might not be for everyone. If popular enough, I might continue with it. If you've been following me since Occultation, you might find it interesting, I hope. My effort is to make this as alien as possible without confusion, if that makes sense.
JOHN HOLT
Then there is John Holt. A story set in the near future, years after an alien invasion. Ex-Navy SEAL/Sheriff (So manly, right!?) stumbles on a man making his way to Oregon with his discovery on how to eliminate the aliens using a simple household solution. John reluctantly decides to follow him and do his best to protect him. John is gruff, grumpy, and set in his ways.
I also want to dive into The Laqueus Amulet origin stories. How some characters met, fell in love, and found their way into the main story. Plus, more Pin-Ups!!! People seem to like them.
Okay! CHEERS!
Thank you all for your wonderful support and encouragement!
