Checkmate Jackpot edition Art + Info (Patreon)

Now that everything's been properly announced I can share all of these images I've been sitting on.  The new character designs for Dustyn, Yui, Lyle, Iris, Anna and Lily as well as some images from the reveal trailer.Now the question is, "What is Jackpot edition?" I think most people have caught on that it doesn't sound like the title of a sequel.  And that's because it isn't. If you read my webcomic, and especially the afterwords, then I'm sure you saw that my opinion of the story got worse and worse over time.  At it's core, it just wasn't the story I ever meant to tell.  After the success of Snow White and Rose Red, which I never dreamed would be even HALF as successful as it was, I made a choice to rewrite Checkmate.  I rewrote it to be more of a proper sequel to Snow White and Rose Red, despite the fact that it was never structured to work that way.  On top of that, since I was posting on webtoons, I ruined my own pacing by poorly converting my pages to webtoons format.  I censored myself to try and stay within webtoons content guidelines, eliminating sexual, violent, and other dark content.I watered down the story to the point where it felt soulless to me.  When it was done, I honestly was left feeling mostly regretful about my own choices.  That's not to say that it was all bad.  I met a lot of awesome people thanks to this comic.  Some of my best friends, some of the coolest supporters, people that I rely on. There's been a lot of great stuff that came out of this.  But I know that I can do better.  And I want to do better.  Maybe it won't be better for you, or anyone else, and that's okay.  Maybe people really won't like this version.  Maybe it'll be too dark.  Maybe the content will cross lines.  But it'll be the story I wanted to tell.  It'll say the things that I wanted it to say.  It'll have the soul that it should have had.  And if I do that, then I know, no matter if 100 people read it, or just one.  That I'll be proud of it this time.  And that's all that matters.But yeah, I don't have anything firm to really share just yet.  I've written out several chapters in script format already.  The new chapter 1's rough draft is nearly complete.  But I'm not gonna set a date for myself on this just yet.  I want to take my time with it.  But rest assured I'll be sharing a bunch now that I can talk about it.  Thanks for sticking with me and all my crazy projects.
