Wow so. Long Exposure is officially done! I’ve been trying to think of what i wanted to say about it ending for weeks and it’s been really hard to collect my thoughts. I think the biggest hurdle i was having was that i felt like i was SUPPOSED to feel a certain way about it ending, and i just didn’t, so i’ve been trying to conjure up those false feelings for a while now. But honestly? I’m not really sad about it ending. It seemed like everyone expected me to be sad that it was over, and maybe they were just projecting because they were sad themselves, which is fine, but i’m really… pretty stoked about it? Long Exposure ALWAYS had a planned ending. It’s not ending because i ran out of ideas or lost interest in it or whatever, it just… was always meant to have an ending after 12 chapters. And i feel really excited that this project i’ve been working on for 4 years is finished! It’s not cancelled, it's just complete! I know some of you guys are going to be really sad it’s over, but just know it doesn’t mean mitch and jonas are going away, i’ll still draw them as long as there’s still interest and stuff! Don’t worry!
I want to thank you guys for all the interest you’ve shown in the comic and characters to this point too. i’m extremely and wholeheartedly grateful to everyone who’s thrown money, or a comment, reblog, retweet, or a like my way. You guys were the ones who peer pressured me into making mitch and jonas their own comic in the first place!! Genuinely could not be doing what i’m doing without you. It wasn’t always easy making a webcomic with so many eyes on me, i never expected it to get as popular as it did… but everyone who’s left a sweet message or made fanart or showed some love any other way has made it all worth it. It’s going to be really strange not working on LE pages every week when it’s been my whole world this past 4 years. I really hope you guys enjoyed the comic, i’m pretty happy with it, even though i know some stuff could be better and i think i’ve grown a lot as a writer since first conceptualizing it. But it really does feel like a huge accomplishment to have it completed and i’m so excited to share more comics with you guys!
If you haven’t yet heard, i’ve already been chipping away at my next comic called Ride or Die, which i hope to start making pages for after i take a little break between comics! You can learn more about it on my patreon (patreon.com/marsoid) and on my website (marsoid.net/ride-or-die)!
I also have a new limited edition signed 11x17 Long Exposure print in my shop! They’re in limited supply, so grab one while you can!
So what’s next for Long Exposure? Now that the story is finished, i’m going to work on editing some older pages a bit (updating art, fixing typos) and getting it ready for a KICKSTARTER for a complete book (or two) of the whole series! So be on the lookout for that!! You can stay updated on my twitter (twitter.com/marsoids).
Thanks again everyone for reading this comic… Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just found the comic yesterday, your support means the world to me and i’m so glad i could share this with you!! And i hope you’re ready for what’s to come next! 💗🌲
