A few words about Mandrill/Spider-Girls

Hey gang,

As many of you know, one of the first big projects I teased here on the new Patreon was a Mandrill vs. Spider-Girls comic, which would feature the maniacal man-ape going up against Mary Jane, Black Cat, and Spider-Gwen.

It's obviously been slow going, and I've tried to be forthright about my difficulties making significant progress on the comic. My plan was to devote a lot of time to it in November. Instead, I wound up doing a series of 15 color pin-ups based on Disney characters, and had a ton of fun in the process.

I hope that contradiction will help illustrate to you the issue I'm having with motivation on the Mandrill/Spider-Girls project. As much as I would like to continue it, and as much as I know many of you are eagerly awaiting it... I would rather work on other things in the weeks and months ahead. Having this hanging over my head is a bummer.

I wish I could say I could just go in and hammer it out... but after months of trying, I've realized I need to put Spider-Girls on permanent hiatus and move on to other projects. 

Here's where the project stands now:

• 22 pages are fully inked. With some shading and dialogue, I would be able to get these up to a standard I'd feel comfortable posting, and they could work as a "Part 1," in case I ever do feel like going back and completing the chapter (which could happen).

• The remaining 50-some pages exist in rough sketch quality. I can make all of these available in the XXL Tier Mega Folder, for those who want to see.

• If anyone has any other questions, I'd be happy to try to answer them in the comments.

Thanks for your understanding. I know this was a very popular and highly anticipated chapter for many of you. I hate disappointing anyone. But I think with this off my docket, I'll be able to focus on more diverse and fulfilling projects which you'll also love – new Repecki, new Submission Agenda, new Mothership, etc, etc, etc.

Best,
Pegasus
