Delay announcement
on 12th November 2023
Hello everybody!
Due to me getting a new job (woo!), as well as a few other factors, I will have to move the Chapter 04 first episode release date to after new years. I cannot yet say how long after new years – though it will probably be another few months – but I will make a new announcement when the date is closing in. Rest assured that the various Seedling channels will not stay quiet in all this time, and I will continue to upload minicomics, sketches and concept art at least once a week.
Thank you very much for your patience and continued readership, and have a good rest of the year!

End of Chapter 03!
on 21st September 2023
That’s the end of Chapter 03 – thank you so much for reading this far! Every comment is a joy to read, and with every update I’m excited to know that many people out there are following along!
So, what will happen now?
I will be working on Chapter 04 – In the next two months’ time I will be writing and sketching all of “Chapter 04: His Royal Highness” and making the very first episode of the chapter ready. This episode will introduce new characters (!), get our main gang properly settled in and delve further into the mystery that is the world of Lakeshore.
The (tentative) Seedling return date is DECEMBER 1ST!
The Seedling Instagram and my webtoons profile feed will continue updating – I’ll be posting sketches, minicomics and replays as often as possible, aiming for at least once a week.
Seedling has a discord! – Come join us! Follow this link or click the discord button in the sidebar. It’s pretty humble right now, but I’ll be posting updates and extras over there regularly, and some day soon I hope to also host events. 🙂
That’s it! See you soon!

Small delay and update schedule change
on 28th August 2023
Forgot to mention I’d be delayed last week. 🙂 The pages are coming, so expect a couple updates this week.
Also, my update schedule is slightly changed. Instead of going for two pages a week, it’ll be a mix of either one or two pages each week. That’ll give me a bit of breathing room on more stressful weeks. Thankyou for understanding. 😊

Vacation days
on 22nd July 2023
I’m currently enjoying family vacation time this week. 😊 I’m finding moments to work on pages on my ipad, but I might not make my website uploads before next week. The webtoons episode update should be unaffected.
UPDATE: The webtoons episode is a bit delayed after all, will be out tomorrow instead of today. 🙂

Plans going forward
on 9th July 2023
Alrighty.
I’ve now sat down and made a current plan for working on and updating Seedling, and I feel ready to share it with you. Bear in mind that the plan is always subject to change, but I will do my very best to inform you all if and when that happens. 🙂
On this website:
- For the rest of chapter 03, I am aiming to publish two pages a week at random times during the week. I’ve managed to do it this way since my return with no stress, and it’s worked well so far. Moving 90% of the work into Procreate has really helped. I may keep to this more flexible schedule going into chapter 04.
- On that subject, when chapter 03 is done, I will take two months off to prepare chapter 04. One month to write and one month to sketch. I will continue keeping you all updated on my progress on here, and the Seedling instagram will continue to update as well. More on that below.
On Webtoons:
- Episodes on webtoons will update every three weeks. This will make an episode worth 6 pages, which amounts to 30-40 panels. Would I prefer it to be more panels and/or more frequent? Definitely, but I’ve given it much consideration and this feels like the best balance between workload and productivity for me. So I’ll be trying this out for size and see how it goes.
- I will be looking into potentially hiring an editor to edit the pages down into webtoons episodes. While I don’t mind doing this myself, it’s time consuming and something I remember being a source of stress back in the day, especially when I was already behind schedule. I have no idea how it will work with a semi-flexible page schedule nor how much it costs, but I’m curious and open to trying it out. If any of you have some experience or know someone who might be interested, feel free to give me a poke in the comments and I will get back to you. I will also be checking through my own channels.
On Instagram:
- In between pages and episodes I’ll be randomly uploading content to the Seedling instagram. The content on there will be behind the scenes concepts, mini comics, sketches, page WIPs and process videos. Much like the pages there’s currently no set schedule for these updates, however I will try to update it at least once a week.
So far so good. Stay safe and happy out there.
