We’re through the first half of Avania, Issue No.7 now, and these inter-chapter breaks are starting to feel routine. Back when I was still posting from my original 3-issue buffer, I wasn’t sure how well the change over would go… But now after several chapters of this on-off pattern, I think things have gone pretty smoothly! (Of course, I’d still prefer to just run every week without interruption, but that just isn’t feasible with my actual job). As before, chapter 15 is in production and is nearly halfway completed!

As the second chapter of the issue, that also means I have the back cover and misc. extras to complete Issue No.7, but I’m pretty confident it will all be finished by Avania’s 4th anniversary on July 8th.

Overall progress of the “season 1″ story arc also just hit a nice milestone–40% of projected pages have been completed! That’s 144 full interior comic pages out of the 360 I am aiming for (depending on how the details of the season finale go, there may be more or less).

It is exciting to be reaching the middle of the season, as even these early-middle pages seemed so far away when I launched Avaniaback in 2018… There’s some great action coming up, plus some other scenes I’m really looking forward to drawing. Going out even farther to the 3rd quarter of the season, there’s so much awesome stuff to be excited about, I can’t wait to get there!

In the meantime though, I hope you enjoyed the last chapter.  If you are interested in purchasing issues of Avania, you can order the first six issues in full resolution digital format on Amazon, and high quality printed issues on IndyPlanet! I’ve worked very hard to try and make these comics look great in either format, and your support is greatly inspiring.

If you’d like to support the comic without spending any money, I love reading your comments and Avania Mail questions too! Stay tuned to the Avania blog@worldofavania​ to see more responses and stand-alone artwork.
