Planned Hiatus and Chapter 03!
on 29th September 2020
Hi podlings!
Thank you so much for being along for the ride, now that we’ve finally reached the end of Chapter 02! There’s so much good stuff to come, and I hope you’re all ready for the story to start for real! After 171 pages…ahaha…hah….
Seriously though, I am immensely proud to have made it this far already with Seedling, and I cannot wait to show you the rest. As with last time, there’s now going to be a planned hiatus as I produce pages for Chapter 03, as well as continue to work out the rest of the story.
Seedling will begin updating again on November 2nd!
Until then, feel free to visit my tumblr as well as my patreon for extra goodies, and you can follow the webtoons version of Seedling to read the soon-to-be Q&A that will be posted there sometime during October. 🙂
Take care and thanks again! ♥

Dead Wacom = delays
on 8th September 2020
Heya everyone
Sorry about the missing updates – my wacom tablet died, and while the new one should be here soon, it has set me back on my schedule some. Hopefully I’ll manage to get a few new pages up this week despite this. Thankyou for your patience. 🙂

Schedule update and other stuff
on 8th March 2020
Phew! It’s been a while. Okay. Here’s what’s going on.
Back in November, when I outlined my plan going forward, my original schedule was to roll out Chapter 2 when all of Chapter 1 was uploaded to Webtoons. Well, Chapter 1 is on Webtoons now, but with no Chapter 2 on this site as of yet.
When I first decided on the original plan, I knew I was being very optimistic. A few weeks into the new job I’d gotten around the same time, and I knew the plan would be near impossible. But I still wanted to give it a try.
I’m a fresh-out-of-school teacher, graduated this summer. They say the first year of being a teacher is the hardest – after 4 months, I’m inclined to think they were right. It’s been a wild experience on several levels, and I’m learning an incredible amount of things in an extremely condensed amount of time. In the last few months, the new experiences and the sheer drain of it all – including the mental drain of doing everything for the first time as well as long travel distances – left precious little time for comic making, and the time I did get has been more incidental than anything.
I’m not complaining, and I’m not disheartened – I’m still learning as I go, and that includes working on this comic. The purpose of this post isn’t to make excuses, but to restate this fact, and to tell any potentially worried readers out there not to be worried. The comic is coming. And I constantly work towards creating a schedule for myself that I can maintain. It might take a few, or a lot, of tries. But I’m determined to do it.
So, the new/current plan: I’m going to release Chapter 2, here and on Webtoons, when it’s ready. I have my own plans and inner hopes for when that might be, and I don’t like giving vague release dates, but I’ve decided that being vague is better than setting up a much too optimistic deadline that I can’t realistically reach. I need to give myself time to figure out how to balance my work life with comic making, and so this is the state of things until further notice.
There’ll still be new things to see on my blog (and my patreon!), and if you feel like sharing my work with others, know that it’ll be hugely appreciated. 🙂
Thank you all for your patience, and keep on being awesome ♥
Happy New Year! And some (last) dialogue changes
on 2nd January 2020
Not a long post, just a quick update to wish you all a happy new year, and my continued thanks for sticking with Seedling for this long!
The comic is doing well over at Webtoons, where it got a staff pick in December (woo!), and has gained 13k plus subscribers to date as a result. I’m honestly amazed – I didn’t expect Seedling to get any sort of following this fast, and it’s a ride knowing there are now people reading and commenting on each new episodes the moment they’re released. I’m thrilled by the positive response the comic has received so far!
As a result of editing down pages into episodes, I’m offered a second look at each page, and decided that there’s a couple of dialogue exchanges that still didn’t quite flow as I wanted them to, or conveyed exactly what they were meant to convey. So I’ve gone back and changed a bit again – specifically, some dialogue on page 52, 55, 63 and 64.
I really don’t want to make it a habit to go back and change things once they’re published, so I’m leaving a note to myself here that this is the last I’m touching up on Chapter 1. From this point on it’s done. Finito. It’s what it is.
I never thought of myself as a perfectionist, but I guess you learn things about yourself when you start working on your comic epic.
Anyhoo, thanks again for your readership, and see you in the new year! ♥
