This week's update (Febuary 3, 2019) will be the last one before the hiatus starts. Virtrena will resume on March 3, 2019.


In the four - nearing five - years of running Virtrena, all hiatuses were forced by technical difficulties. At one point not past Chapter Two, my laptop back then died and I had to buy a new one. Another one was fairly recently in 2017 when my pen tablet died. Stuff like those. But now, as much as I don't like hiatuses as it halts the webcomic, I feel like I need to pull off the webcomic's first deliberate hiatus for a month.

I want to dedicate February 2019 to the following:
  • Building up buffer pages.
  • With weekly updates, the best I could do is to maintain a specific number of pages. For example, I have 8 buffer pages. With weekly updates, I have to post one page and draw one page in the same week, so I still end up having 8 pages. There's nothing bad with that, but I feel I'll need more backup pages with how busy my life is getting with uni work and other real life happenings.
  • Working on Alchia
  • I'm bent on starting to draw Alchia this summer vacation not less than a few months away. Working on the designs and script for it at a decent pace as a one-man-army while I'm maintaining Virtrena's page count at once is easier said than done. I'll try to get myself used to working on both projects equally during this month.

I really want the webcomic to wrap up as soon as I can. But I'm willing to risk one month for the reasons I just explained. Hope you folks understand.
