The Muse Mentor Tumblog

An official call to GUEST ART!

In about 2 months time, I will be wrapping up chapter 2, and consequently taking a short break to get chapter 3 a little buffer. (Gasp!) However, to do this, I need help from YOU!

I am officially accepting guest art or guest comics for The Muse Mentor. You would have 2 months to get it to me, which I hope is a pretty fair amount of time for planning. I am only wanting stuff featuring OFFICIALLY introduced characters, so that means Mona, Esteban, Ashley, Bea, and Addy. (You could technically also do something with the ale house servers or Toby, if you wanted.)

I already had a few CRAZILY GREAT people approach me saying they’d draw something up, if able, but no reason to not take MORE, right? I may be able to even do multiple updates a week, depending on if I choose to go the one month, or two week break route. So, if you’re interested, could you message me? Thanks!

After tonight,

we are officially only 2 pages away from the dreaded Toughest Page To Illustrate of This Chapter.

Gulp.

I got it out of the way early in Chapter 1 (with the page 5 and 6 splash page), but page 18 is gonna be my headache for Chapter 2. Ahaaa! FINGERS CROSSED, everyone!

By the way, I haven’t forgotten the Addy art that I owe you. I am also contemplating taking a call for guest artwork once the chapter wraps in 2 months so that I can take a break, but hmm. HMMM! I suppose we’ll see. If you’re interested, I guess you could give me a shout and I can assess the feedback?

Anonymous asked: omg is addy's accent british or southern? in my head her voice is SOO adorable, but i cant settle on an accent

Addy actually does not have an accent at all! If anything, maybe a bit of north-eastern United States, maybe midwest. Her vowels are a little overpronounced.

P.S. I think it’s so cool that some of you are trying to pick out voices!

A printing question?

As of right now, we are only 10 pages off from the end of chapter 2! While that doesn’t seem like a lot, maybe (it means 10 weeks, yet!), I have started thinking to the not-so-impossible future, where I want to have The Muse Mentor printed.

Here is my dilemma, and maybe you can help me out as you all usually do! You have great thoughts that have been super useful to myself as a complete novice in this department.

When should I start thinking about putting together a volume? Should I have these as shorter issues with two chapters a pop, therefore having the first one be a neat 42 pages plus added content? Or should I hold off, wait ‘til I have 4 chapters under my belt, and then just keep the whole thing to two 84 page volumes? TMM is only 8 chapters long (unless I decide I want to re-edit the last couple chapters, in which case it could wind up as long as 10, but that is the very outer limit), so it’s either going to be 4 issues, or 2 volumes.

What do you think? If the answer box isn’t enough, please feel free to reblog or to shoot me an ask! I’m really conflicted on this, and since I don’t tend to be a picky consumer myself in the page-number department, others’ views are gonna be really key. Thank you!
