Update!

Hey there, everyone!
As Andrew-David mentioned on the previous page's blurb, I'm feeling much better after having been well-tended by my friends during my last episode of depression. I also want to take this moment to thank everyone that left supportive comments and for being understanding while I was unable to work on the comic. It really meant a lot to be able to check the site on those bad days and see that everything was going to be okay, that my fears clearly aren't based in reality, and that all I really needed to worry about was taking care of myself.
Thank you so very much for your support, and also for your readership -- past, present, and future -- you're all extremely awesome!
We're Back!

Hello everyone,
My deepest apologies for the lack of a page for these past two weeks. I've been in and out of hospital recently, first for physical health reasons as I was dealing with severe migraines, and secondly for mental illness reasons as my depression decided to rise from the depths to eat me alive once again. I have my good days, but my bad ones are severe and have me crippled until they eventually pass. I am currently in treatment for my anxiety and depression, but I try to understand that being so isn't any guarantee against episodes. They still occur despite my medication and therapy, and when they do it's really, really bad.
I'm very disappointed in myself for not being able to keep to schedule and failing to deliver exclusive content to you all, or any content at all, really. I'm working at getting myself better with the little energy I have at my disposal, but it's a process and getting mad at myself for failing at my responsibilities isn't going to be constructive at all in the long-run. Again, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience and any frustration my illness may be causing.
First Patreon Milestone Reached!
By Andrew-david
January 12th, 2016 at 04:00PM
Hey everyone!
We just reached our first Patreon milestone and that is amazing! We're so proud to have wonderful supporters like you and Aikonia would not be able to continue without your support! Even those of you that could not become patrons but helped by spreading the word or leaving supportive comments. You're all so amazing.
Okay, sorry, enough of that sappy stuff. On to the real news! Now that we've reached our first milestone, we're going to start a new series of journal entries! It will take a bit of time for us to build a buffer of pages, but you should expect them to start showing up in late February or early March.
Keep in mind that $4 patrons will get to see the journal entries way in advance, as we'll be posting them on Patreon as soon as pages are complete, rather than when we have a large enough buffer of them.
Again, thank you all so much for your support! Have a wonderful week :)
Happy New Year!

Despite having its ups and downs, 2015 has been a great year and we are so thankful to have all of our readers and supporters alongside us as we enter this new year!
2016 will be awesome and we can't wait to share what we have in store for you :)
Happy new year!
Colouring Process Video!

Hey everyone!
As promised yesterday, I just posted the colouring process of this week's page on Patreon! The video compresses about 4.5 hours of colouring work down to just 3 minutes! Click here to watch it now!
Have a wonderful new year! :)
Colouring Process!

December 28th, 2015 at 02:45PM
Hey everyone!
I hope your holiday season has been great so far! Karina recorded the colouring process of this page, so I'll be posting that video on Patreon tomorrow for all our patrons to see! If you're interested in watching that type of content, you can become a patron for as little as $1 per month! We try to post exclusive bonus content like this often, so hopefully that $1 should be worth it for you :)
This is the last page we post this year! I hope you have a wonderful new year and I'll see you all in 2016!

Journal Entry Milestone on Patreon!
By Andrew-david
December 21st, 2015 at 07:46PM
Hey everyone!
I know a lot of you enjoyed our journal entry series and the feedback and enthusiasm we've received from you has been really amazing!
I just thought I'd post a quick reminder that we plan on bringing the journal entries back once we reach our first milestone on Patreon! It's only $100/month and should be pretty easy to reach. If you can't become a patron, that's absolutely fine! You can still support us by spreading the word and sharing :)
The new series of journal entries will be a different story, from a different character's perspective, but will directly tie-in with the adventurers' current storyline. We're actually very excited to get started on that, so we hope you can help us reach that milestone soon!
Thank you for all your support and happy holidays!
Role Changes
By Andrew-david
December 21st, 2015 at 05:43PM
Hey everyone!
Just thought I'd mention that Karina has taken over inking and panelling for the rest of Chapter 6. Of course, this does not mean Ira is no longer part of Aikonia! Ira will be taking this time to focus on Chapter 7. This will allow us to build a larger buffer and allow them to focus on producing more detailed and refined line art for the Chapter 7.
Happy holidays everyone! :)
Patreon Reward Tiers Update
By Andrew-david
December 17th, 2015 at 04:29PM
Hello everyone!
Since we're still relatively new to Patreon, a lot of what we've been doing with this is based on trial and error and experimenting with different suggestions. As made evident by our pre-launch Patreon survey and our most recent Patreon feedback survey.
CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL UPDATE!
We're also thinking of adding new rewards like weekly or monthly streams, chatting directly with us as we plan pages, and more! Feel free to share your own suggestions, feedback, opinions, and ideas with us by commenting on this post, replying to the feedback survey, or simply tweeting at us!
Reminder: Patreon Feedback Survey
By Andrew-david
December 14th, 2015 at 01:12PM
Hello everyone!
The Aikonia Patreon has been up and running for just about two months now and we're looking for some feedback!
When we ran our initial survey for the Patreon, the response was overwhelmingly positive. However, that swell of support hasn't exactly been reflected in the actual amount of patrons supporting Aikonia. We want to know why there is this discrepancy. If there are things we can improve or change, we want to know what those things are to better serve you, our readers.

Page Update
By Andrew-david
November 26th, 2015 at 01:59PM
Hey everyone!
Sorry for not posting a page this week. Karina wasn't feeling great and, as you know, Ira's computer is still out of commission, so we couldn't manage to get a page done on time for Monday.
Next week's page is ready now though and has been posted on Patreon! It will be posted here on Monday, as usual.

Hey everyone!
You may notice that page feels a little different. That's because Ira's computer was damaged and is out of commission at the moment. In the meantime, Karina will be handling the line art/panelling/text bubbles until Ira gets a new computer. This is only temporary!
And don't forget that you can support us on Patreon!
Have a wonderful week! :)

RSS Feed Update And New Domain Name!
By Andrew-david
October 28th, 2015 at 03:26PM
Hey everyone!
This is just a quick update to inform you that we've updated our RSS feed to include a "Support Us On Patreon" button, as well as an ad banner provided by Project Wonderful. If you aren't subscribed to our RSS feed, you can do so by clicking here or by clicking the RSS icon below the ad banner on the left side of the website.
I'd also like to announce that we now own the aikonia.com domain name! It points to the same website, so feel free to use "aikonia.com/page/298" when sharing a page instead of "aikoniacomic.com/page/298" if you want it to be slightly shorter :)
See you on Monday and have a wonderful week!
