In an attempt to make the comic reach more people (specially after Deviantart's recent change),  Sweet Lullaby will now be available on Webtoons.  We invite you to give it a look and help it grow by giving it a rate and maybe some likes if you are registered. 

Aside from that, I also wanted to give you a deeper insight on what's been going on lately.

It's been a little more than a year since I got back to Sweet Lullaby. Kind of a risky move considering that would mean putting aside commissions and other personal projects, but with a decent amount of money saved, I decided the situation was conducive enough to green light the project, so we got down to business and opened this Patreon to help us finance it. Many things have happened since then, and although we have had a lot of pleasant surprises, it is important to announce that, despite all the support we have received, it is difficult to know for how much longer we can keep sustaining ourselves this way. 

Attending Patreon has become a much more complicated task than we thought, and the current situation is not helping at all. My family savings have been reduced in at least a 85% since we started, and without any indication of money incomes aside from Patreon, I'm afraid the situation is forcing me to postpone Sweet Lullaby in favor of re-opnening commissions, at least in my case and while all of this is happening. 

My friends Nihil-Zero , Mahsira and RikoSakari have informed me that they are willing to cover me while I take care of that. With the cover finished and the sketches from the first 15 pages of chapter 5, I want to think that it will be possible for me to finish a round of commissions before being required again in the production of the comic. 

Despite all the problems, we consider that the least we can do is continue with the deal offered: Finish at least Chapter 5 and keep the tiers we established here, at least until December, when it's time to send out all the physical rewards. After that, it is highly likely that we will reconsider what we offer in a way that is more sustainable, at least while chapter 5 lasts. If everything goes as planned, we'll start publishing it later this month, and possibly in early August on Deviantart and Webtoons. 

This may not turn out as we wanted at the end, but no matter what happens, we will always be grateful for all that we have learned and all the support you have given us ♥

Sincerely, 

Silvia.

Thank you very much, you are very kind ♥ Things may have to be different from how we planned them, but we're still going to do all we can to make the effort worth it, even if chapter 5 truly is the last one. We'll see how things develop in due time.

In the case that chapter 5 winds up being the last, would you be willing to tell us patrens what exactly you had planned for this story once that chapter is complete?

It's still in discussion how are we going to proceed in case chapter 5 is indeed the last comic, but we do want to present the rest of the story somehow. We have an alternate version for chapter 6 script completed, as well as concept art and more concrete ideas for the rest. If not in comic form, we think SL deserves a conclusion at the very least.

Understandable, but lets hope that you guys will be able to get this comic done. Thank you for telling me that. Like I said before, I wish the best of luck to you and everyone else working on this project.
