are you guys going to make Rose (FINALLY) play the rain???
Bringing Rose’s character arc to a satisfying close is a definite goal. Whether that involves playing the rain or not, you’ll have to keep reading to find out :o)
Completed and posted the Lord English slideshow flash.
Completed Act 8 Act 2 Part 1.
Colors are done for Act 8 Act 2 Part 2 (shout out to @calicorn for getting those done at warp speed!)
Began work on a Secret Thing.
Continued work on another Secret Thing.
So mysterious, oOooo~
Thumbed & assigned lines for Act 8 Act 2 Part 2.
Began draft and started revisions on Act 8 Act 2 Part 3.
Caught up on some Asks.
We have also had a team member volunteer to get the rest of Act 8′s flash content up on YouTube, so that should really and truly be happening this week.
At this time Act 8 is updating regularly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so if you missed today’s upd8 go check it out :o)
will there be any jaderosekan mayhaps? is that a possibility maybe? romo or bros, both r good
I’m going to sidestep the romance aspect here, but Team 8 definitely likes to see lady Homestuck characters talking to each other and hanging out, so it’s quite likely we’ll see these 3 interact somehow, though I can’t absolutely guarantee it.
eridan isn't the most popular character, i know. but if we could just get a LITTLE bit of him without him being the butt of a joke. even as just a ghost. that would be *much* appreciated. love what you've got so far! best of luck with the comic and remember not to overwork yourselves!
Aww, thanks for the well wishes, Anon!
This question falls under the “will [character] appear in Act 8″ sort of Asks that we’ve supposedly stopped answering, but I am feeling flush with Upd8 benevolence.
Team 8 really tries for a No Character Left Behind sort of approach, so while we can’t make absolute guarantees for every specific character, I will say that as one of the actual session players, I would be very surprised if we didn’t at least see Eridan again in some form before Act 8 comes to a close.
please tell me jade will be an actual character with an actual personality and not just a plot device in act 8 ):
Team 8 is generally not fond of the characters-as-plot-devices approach to writing, and many of us are fond of Jade, so I think you will not be disappointed, Anon.
Page 61 currently leads back to page 28, the only place from there being 29 and so on. Was this intentional? Or is one of the other panels on 28 supposed to lead to 62?
Yup, this was intentional! It’s a hub through which other scenes will be accessible soon (but not yet).
Act 8 is a project by fans, for fans, to produce a (largely) canon-compliant
fanwork that expands on the Homestuck ending. It’s a celebration of our
fandom’s ingenuity, an ACT of love towards Homestuck as a story and a
larger phenomenon.
It’s also just for the fun of it.
I just checked, and it looks like
mspfanventures.com
is indeed down in its entirety right now. This is not something that Team 8 has any control over, but hopefully it’s just a minor hiccup that will be resolved soon. We will be monitoring to see if the situation continues.
Today is Fanart Friday, so if you have any age-appropriate Act 8 fanworks that you’d like reblogged, remember to @ us at this account and/or use the “#act 8″ tag :o)
Just a heads up that we will most likely not be having an update this Saturday. There may be one between now and Wednesday to make up for it, though! Thank you for your patience.
You guys put a lot of effort into this! How long does it take to make a page?
Hi! I’d estimate at least an hour for each artist’s part of the process, so no less than three for each panel. Of course, that’s delayed by the writing and storyboarding, which takes “as long as until it’s good enough.” Collectively, hundreds of hours have gone into act 8 already.

I absolutely LOVE the drawing of Alt Calliope on page 66, it's perfect and I don't really know how to describe why that is, it's just really really good
What a lovely comment! I hope that the artists who worked on that panel all get to read this, I’m sure it will make them smile :o)
