Hiatus Starting Mid September
I have big news, and unfortunately, you’re probably not going to like it. Starting in mid September and going until April 2019, CD Rudd will be unable to draw I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle. He’s going to be in a place with virtually no ability to upload files, but will be working on projects while away (time permitting). He’ll try to build up some amount of buffer before he leaves, to reduce the length of the hiatus from you readers’ points of view, but we can’t guarantee much.
So, this post is our official solicitation for fanart fillers! If you like Jeanie Bottle and wish to help ease the hiatus by providing your own work to fill the gap, we’d be very happy to have it! A minicomic, an alluring pinup, or just a drawing of your favorite character would be great! We’ll need loads of fanart to fill this hiatus, so expect any art you submit to show up on the frontpage of the site at some point. Please email Robert at coredumperror@gmail.com with your fanart filler submissions.
For those who also read CD Rudd’s other comic, SailorSun.org, we expect it to be finished before CD’s absence. So don’t worry about it going on hiatus right before the end. Though we do expect a few epilogue pages to come out after the main story is complete, so look out for those in the future.
And there may be an additional distraction from JB’s hiatus coming soon, but I can’t get into detail about that just yet… 🙂
I hope you can get CrazyCowProductions to do some filler.
That is a very good point! I’ll go let him know that we’re soliciting fillers.
He’ll just boot Wolfpack ;-p
Wolfpac is one of the projects I’m going to work on while away. But I’ll be using my smaller Wacom, instead of the big one I have at home…
Wait, I knew we were close to the end of SS.org, but I didn’t knew we were THAT close. Man I don’t know how to feel and I just started to read to read it a couple of months ago.
It’s also possible he is working on buffer. Just because end of SS.org will be DRAWN before half of August doesn’t mean it will be online at that point.
… still, yes, it does suggest some plot points will be left hanging …
I trust CD to close the most important plot points by the oficial ending, plus the epilogue pages Robert mention give me hope for some of the minor ones, my feelings are just the usuals I get whatever something I enjoy is coming to an end, which are always mixed, not to mention, after reading the whole thing I had so many ideas for fan art but now it´s almost over and I don´t even know where to start!
But in the subject of fan art, I may have some things JB related to share during this hiatus.
Which SailorSun.org plot points are you still referring too? I did close a LOT of them up during the last chapter.
Yes, I don’t think SailorSun.org is going to end within the mere fifteen pages or so that would post by mid-August (not with the story pace that we’ve been seeing), so I would expect he might have another dozen or two buffered up by then.
A lot still feels unfinished with the sirens.
How is sailorsun ending in any way a good thing?
The story will be complete. There’s nothing wrong with a webcomic coming to an end because the story is over.
I didn’t say there was anything wrong with it ending. I’m just not saying there’s anything right about it either. I’ve been around since around chapter 2 and I still have no idea WTF is going on with all the variants of Brad/Bay. That doesn’t mean I want the comic out of my life. I’m just glad I have time to prepare for it going away.
It’s actually way better if it gets a good, solid conclusion. Most webcomics seem to die in the middle of a story and never see a finish. If CD’s in a position to complete the SailorSun.org story the way he wants to, then I think that is a fine accomplishment.
Maybe in the future we can see a Trav and Berry or a Honey and David spinoff.
There’s always that possibilities. I do have a couple of ideas.
And to be honest, there will probably still be sketches and drawings on DA of them for sure.
Somehow I’m alarmed at the notion of being away from one’s online loved ones for a length of time, but good luck in whatever it is you’re doing, don’t worry about us.
Have you considered moving to a text format to keep the story going during the hiatus?
