Hello lovelies <3 Today's sneak preview is a little different since it contains some additional updates.

Backgrounds and props are a large part of my story telling process, and I try to keep them as 'accurate' and 'logical' as I can (although background work is very time consuming, so this isn't always possible). And as I started working on this week's episode, I realised I made a huge booboo with this building that appeared in last week's episode. So this week, I spent 2 days fixing everything - basically re-modelling the environment so it's geographically accurate, and adding more details to the building.

Anyway, this is the revised version of the building (note that sneak preview artwork isn't the final piece, though). I was contemplating if I should update y'all on this revised building model, since it kind of counts as a spoiler. But I figured this is what you'd have seen last week, if I hadn't made those mistakes. So here it is again - same building, different angle.

Next thing I wanted to notify y'all, is that because of the stupid amount of time I spent re-doing this background, I wasn't able to finish all the panels for this week's episode 😭😭 So this week will be a shorter episode than my usual ones. Sorry guys! 

And that's pretty much it. See you when the episode drops <33

This is so cool! Totally getting some GTA vibes 😍

Blancaliz Fernandez

This looks so pretty and I can tell the crazy amount of time you put into each panel

heliosalpha

Your commitment to getting these things right totally blows my mind tbh. I'm totally OK with a shorter episode! ❤️

Darla (Tora’s THOT)

It’s ok lily! We know not every chapter will be long and backgrounds do take a lot of time especially this building seems to be incredibly important for today’s episode... poppy’s apartment I’m thinking... idk for sure though. But thank you for the heads up so I won’t be surprised when I suddenly see poppies as I cry scrolling for more lolllll

Hope

Thank you!

Olive S

No booboo, dear, it is fine with me ❤️! I should try and enjoy the story line and NOT to analyse the small details so damn much...! 🙊🙉🙈😁

Emily Basso

Thanks for always being so communicative ☺️ and as always, your chapter updates are basically books... so whatever you have tonight will be nothing short of perfect still ❤️🥰

CoCoPuff_BB

It's about to go down. I love when Tora is just a splash of wild haha

Rosaline

Life is beautiful

The Boobooo is fine. Thank you for spoiling us all!!! Please also make sure to take care of your self. We love you!!!

Allie Kelly

Your consistent communication and heartfelt care for your art are amazing!

Krystal

I appreciate your attention to detail and the advanced notice. The communication on your part is noticed.

Krystal

This building looks like a GORGEOUS prison lol

Rhdina

Please don't worry- we enjoy whatever you upload ♡♡ this crazy crowd here could analyse just one single panel for like a week ☺️ thank you for putting so much work into everything!

Blueberry

I think that was Goliath in the blue car. One of his hands was in his pocket the whole time so tattoo could be on it. Plus him and Tora got the same skin tone. I can’t imagine the time and effort that goes into making even one panel so thank you for creating and giving us the goods. Your backgrounds are the best tho. The Atmosphere they creat is on point.

Marine Belluet

No worries! Still addicted no matter the length of the episode! Does that mean the episode 31 will be updated anythime soon?

BlueCaty

Lily, to say that I appreciate your work would be an understatement. I love, love the attention you put into details, it shows in every episode, this is why the story and characters feel REAL. Your efforts to get it right blow my mind every time. I'm sorry though that it is so huge time consuming, but in the end everything will pay off. Don't worry about the length of the episode, it is important to feel content with the result of your work. I'll never stop praising you, because in terms of passion for what you do and of storytelling you are just GOALS.

SOPHIA A

However long it is I can't wait. You make my Friday night. Something to look forward to after a long week!!!

Annie J

Shorter chapter will still be awesome chapter! Your dedication to you art and storytelling is amazing. I thought it was a picture at first, that's how real it looked to me. Can't wait for tonight! 😍

Leslie

Lily the care and respect you have engaging with your fan community, and the level of detail and thought you put into getting the story elements just right - those more than make up for a shorter episode. We love and appreciate MPL and all the work you put into it!

MadCoolKid

I will take and love whatever you give us 😘😍😍😍

Sara Bellomy

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to detail!

Kay.D

Can’t wait to read the new episode!! 😁

Len

Don't worry we're not going anywhere. You take the time you need to make it awesome. We appreciate the quality and details of your work, so do what you have to, and thank you!!!

Schkaka

Love your dedication. Overall you have to be happy with the product you put out...so no worries here❤

larosamorada

Lady, what you consider a short episode still blows others out of the water. Your episodes are crazy long and the work is always so detailed that it will be a delight regardless. Also...please excuse me while I see that balcony with all the plants is higher up than before and has a very different railing. 👀🤔🤓 And why do I still feel like I will be dead wrong about where Tora is. 🤣

Brooke Babin

Thank you for your commitment and being thorough to your story Lily! We love you!

Victoria Dias

Lily, take as much time as you need!! ✨✨ even your “short” ones are a masterpiece. I’m sure this is nerve wrecking as hell and I understand how SketchUp can take A LOT of time (where my architects at???), even when we download from Warehouse, there’s a lot of garbage that we have to filter before finding a good model (or even buying some), ugh, nightmares I’m impressed of how committed you are to your work, you make things happen and you improve yourself everytime, that’s really beautiful. Thank you for bringing this joy to us, we can see your love thru your comic, I’m *dead* serious. (sorry for this joke, I was a Haunted Mansion cast member at Disney, I had to do this 🦇) BUT, don’t ever forget to take breaks, to eat, basic needs, to get some family time and time for yourself. We have to stay healthy to have good productivity and a good life overall. I’m looking forward to everything you do, just don’t worn yourself out, pretty please ♥️

I want to talk about this notebook. The assumption last week was that Tora got it after their Friday night dinner since her boss went through the reports on her desk without any mention of bloodstained mafia blackmaily stuff. Also the baby punks in the alley seemed to be saying the notebook was a done deal. (I think the big shark cruising the alley is Tora because I don’t think Dad’s butterfly would pick Goliath, just saying.) But in the office on Saturday morning Poppy pointedly says that she got her desk stuff “sorted before leaving the office yesterday.” So if she went through her papers did she find the notebook? Does she have the notebook? Are we done with the notebook? Where da notebook?

Urdo

Just passing by..Well that building sure looks easy for Tora to climb now ;)

CurlyGirl

“...shorter...”. I think my heart broke just a little. 0_0

Paula D

All good ❤️❤️❤️

Maudie

Don't worry Lily, everything you do is highly appreciated and loved no matter what! I'm here for anything you post or create, the even if it's just one panel 😊

Adventurous Snail

I reeeeaaally wonder if Tora did anything to Jacob's desk. After all, he left for their work right after leaving Poppy's with the sentiment that he was dead meat. Would our little tiger act out of jealousy?

Patricia

One of the reasons this story is so special it’s because of the amount of work you put into all these details. The building is beautiful, and all that work is so taxing. We are extremely grateful for your dedication and even if we get just this one planet is worth the wait. Stay healthy! Thank you Lily!!!!

Vikki Smirnoff

A new episode for my birthday!! 😁😁🎁 I can't think of a better gift lmao 😉 thanks Lily! ❤❤

Ocean

That is amazing that you took the time to fix something, in your very tight schedule, to make the story more realistic. Dont even stress the episode being short, you know im still going to fast pass!! 😆 Im always surprised by how long your episodes are, so Im sure we wont even realize if this one is shorter. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your story, your amazing Lily!! 😍

Helen Fernandez

I hope you know how far your dedication to your work goes! You’re amazing for even thinking of the smallest things and working so hard despite having little time. Know that everything you do is appreciated and amazing!!!!

Afton Jennings

Your attention to detail, and all the effort you put into the artwork is always second to none 💛 don't stress about a shorter episode, you're amazing as always!

GenX

It’s so detailed and realistic

Alessandra

So... I’m pretty sure the dude in the hoodie is Tora. I know people keep saying it might be Goliath but the dude looks too tall for someone they’ve referred to as a “shorty” in past episodes. I was trying to think where he might be going and I have this feeling it might be Goliath’s real apartment since the one those dudes broke into was his janky, secret one. Orrr what if Ryu was able to find out who’s been leaking those videos (tho we already know its most likely that one gangster dude that found the dvd in his mother’s storage)? And he’s about to break into their apartment for some recon. Idk, so many possibilities but I’m hella excited for the story to keep unfolding. P.s. I’ve never been so attracted to a 2d character. Tora is definitely my type lmao! Boy skates, has long hair, plays guitar and has tattoos. All that is missing is to find out he’s into metal/rock music. Yassss 🤣

Crowley

The attention to backgrounds is one of the things I really enjoy in your webcomic. Some of my favorite scenes are sort of background driven, like the first episode at the end with the highway into the city, or the shortcut between buildings in episode 8, and the parking garage scene (counseling drunken friends drunkenly cradling trash cans over god knows what sort of hit close too close to home). I appreciate the time it takes to really set the scenes up, I’m sure it takes a lot of time!

Danielle Hayes

I just read the new chapter in 0.2 seconds and oh my gosh 😍😍😍😍 SWEETHEART

Adventurous Snail

Did you see that the guard's zipper was still down? Lily, you crack me up.

TicklemeAli

NurseAmethyst

I honest to God started cackling when she shushed her books. DAMN, BOBBY. You secret dirty gurl 😜😜😜 we see ya. *looks at my shelf and snickers at my books* Also, Poppy’s style of clothing is 👌👌 i feel ya. Tora smiling, Tora chuckling, Tora calling her a sweetheart. Tora's face in her daydream. DAYUM, POPPY. *fans self*

Soosie

Lily you're amazing and so creative! Thank you for all your hard work and attention to detail ☺️

Kayli Miller

Thank you for the hard work!! I want more and highly anticipate the next chapter!! Love it! ❤❤😊

Alessandra

I love love that he went to go see her on his own accord. And his chuckling and smiling. I’m so excited to see their romance blossom. Someone put me in a coma until next Friday. 😴

Lise

The rest will be worth waiting for. ♥️

Meghan Richardson

Omg, all the little details!! I love that she puts the smutty books with the spine facing the wall, I do the same thing! Can’t be having guests know how how smutty my little brain is. 🤫 Also, no worries about it being shorter! You could be giving us scraps and we’d still be on our knees thanking you! 😂

TeHeeJones

Thank you for all your hard work! Fingers crossed for a few extra panels next week 💚

Karolina Romero

Don't worry, I've never have enough of MPL so I'll wait another week in uncertainty, thanks for your work and dedication

Your amazing Lily and all I can say is that your hobby has been a real gift to me, and so many other people. The way you illistrated your comics are awesome and very well detailed in a way that has me invested in a way that I haven't been in quite a few years. It's also inspiring to know your in your 30's. So Thank you for perfecting your hobby and being willing to share. You have a real gift.
