We’d like to thank each and every one of you for sticking with us while we have for reasons unknown continued to produce one of the most needlessly overwrought webcomics in recent history for two hundred page updates. We couldn’t be more excited and proud to have engendered a small community around this story we’re still dumb enough to tell for free—and not for nothing, we’re especially grateful for those of you who help keep the lights on! We’re humbled by your trust, and by my rickety, art-worn handbones, we’ll keep cranking out this story until Earth’s IRL Sun cooks us all alive.
So like, 20, 25 years. Should be about enough.
Anyway, thank you! Let’s talk about boring housekeeping for a second.
Other Sand-related news for your cognition-holes includes hits like the fact that I’ll now be adding transcripts to new pages as they go up—meanwhile, Jenn is tackling the backlog from page 1. It’s ongoing, but we only gained the ability to do this easily at all when we moved from Comicpress, so just, fuckin’. We’re two people. Wait. And speaking of stuff that’s taking forever, some of the growing subset of readers in France might have noticed the oft-alluded-to RS French translation is still in a state of ‘what the hell is happening with the RS French translation’. Good question! It’s still happening! We’ve gone back and forth on whether to use Toocheke’s admittedly-janky language switch, or just post them as their own pages in a special RS French chapter, which would require interested readers to compartmentalize their RS RSS feeds. Which, like, not the end of the world, I suppose, because RSS users are the most intelligent and sexually desirable human beings on Earth, and will know what to do—and if not, I’ll just add multiple feed links to a menu or something.
Thank you again for reading! Here’s what’s up in Clip Studio Paint as I type this; Patreon will be given more context, of course, but this is work for Rising Sand—IYKYK.
Oh, and you don’t have to follow us on Bluesky for timely updates on all things Sand—but it helps!
