Slimy Thief series Reboot 2023!

I wanted to start something new, but without finishing Slimy, it doesn’t feels quite right. Then I had the idea for a reboot. I know when people hear “reboot” – Oh noes! He just going to make everything dark and gritty, edgy, or remade for new audiences. NOPE not me.

The story:
The story will be “retold” in a concise time-line, introducing the characters in a proper way. More showing than telling… The adventure will be brand new, but you can expect the references to iconic internet memes, Aisha rolling “ones” as usual,  and expanding her curves as always.

Better writing and presentation:

Now I live in the US, English is part of my day-to-day. You can expect better written dialogs.

Staying in one mood:
Slimy Thief is a “long” series – almost 400 pages of comic! It took me 10 years (lame I know). I was creating installments of series in the meantime between other projects or commissions. Every time had to write/draw I was in a different mood, so the series is everywhere, sometimes funny, witty, sexy, or gory. The reboot is a great opportunity to stay in one lane, patch all the roles, and give it a proper ending.

Why not just continue it?
I can’t make my mind work on a project without a bigger promise behind it. In the past, I was planing to put everything in a printed book, with locations, creatures, items, like and rpg/comic book. Now if I just pick the series from where I left, I’d end up with an incomplete book for printing. However rebooting it, I can plan the whole thing as book from the start, with new art and all.

But first thing first. This can’t be done overnight. I’ll keep doing surveys regarding the format, monetizing and publishing. I’ll be streaming so you can follow the WIP.
I’m working of the first draft, while drawing the concepts that you can check here:

Hey there

        First and foremost, I apologize for the extended hiatus. I could provide a thousand different explanations as to why I abandoned the Slimy Thief this long. Still, I will state that the main:  Sadly, my hard drive (where I kept decades of my work and all of my slimy thief content) was damaged beyond recovery. This hard drive contained high-definition quality of all the comic book strips and illustrations I posted on here and additional plans I had for the web series, such as animations and games in development. Without this material, a lot of my motivation was gone, but I am not the type of person to leave things incomplete.
         I am still attempting to recover my hard drive content. However, I have been told by a few professionals that may not be possible.
         So, here is what my current plan is:
–      Start releasing 1 comic strip per week on Slimy Thief or Illustrations starting January 2021 to finish the story arc.
–      If I can recover the contents of my hard drive during this time, I am willing to continue the webcomic properly by finishing each character’s storyline.
–      Without the hard drive being recovered, I will only finish the current story arc. (The Heroes)
–      I will also gradually update slimythief.com
2020 has been challenging for many of us due to the pandemic, but I am hopeful for a better 2021. Thank you to all who have continued to support me.
