Creator Changes
July 11th, 2019Hi everyone!
As you may have noticed, we’re really slow getting the next scene out. Steph, my colorist, has had some real health issues over the past half year. She talks about it in a thread on her twitter feed.
The end result is that coloring is extremely painful for her. She just can’t maintain the pose needed for very long. We’ve tried working out alternative arrangements to help her, such as schedule changes, doctors, therapy, and medicine. None of this helped much. I asked her to take over the marketing duties as an alternative to coloring, but Steph has decided to leave Mythmakers and the Snow by Night project in early August.
In the interim, we needed to do a search for a new colorist. I’m pleased to say we found one! Lyndsey Little will be taking over coloring duties, as of…. well immediately. She’s working with Steph to learn our process so the style won’t noticeably shift this chapter. Starting Chapter 19, Lyndsey is in charge of the colors.
So that’s what’s been going on on this side of the project. I’m hoping to have the next scene out this month, but we’ve got some transition issues that are slowing us down. Thank you for your continued readership and your patience.

Steph, I hope things improve for you. Welcome, Lyndsey!
Thanks for letting us know (I’d been curious), and good luck and well wishes to everyone on the team!
We’ll miss you and your excellent coloring, Steph. Best of luck on your future endeavors, and I hope you are able to find a satisfying path despite it not being what you hoped for.
Steph, taking care of your own health *must* be your priority. (Take it from someone who did not, although in a different form.)
Please consider alternative therapies such as effleurage, shiatsu, myofascial release, or acupuncture. I am trained as an engineer but I have been convinced that Western Medicine does not have all the answers. My personal therapist does myofascial and insists that I not swear while she works on me. But I do! But two days later, I am actually taller.
The “relaxing massage” does nothing for me. Find someone *good* who knows what they are doing — that’s maybe one out of ten — and find something that works for _you_.
Will that solve your problems? Possibly not. But you _can_ have less pain.
Please take care of yourself.
Heh. I grabbed her “Yes!” at the beginning of the link. Fixed! Give that a try.
It will be sad to see her go, but welcome Linsday look forward to seeing your work on the comic. Steph well done for all you have done. My sympathies to you on your health issues and your troubles. Thank you for all the effort and time you put into the project.
link not working. i wanted to see her art :)
