Hiatus Over! Pages resumed May 24, 2024
Hello readers!
If you’ve been checking in, you probably don’t need this message. But I wanted to update the post under all pages to reassure new comers that Dark Horse has resumed posting pages weekly, starting on May 24, 2024.
Patrons get pages a little (or a LOT) early, depending on how much of a buffer I have. Right now, Patrons and SubscribeStar Members have received Page 22 of Forging the Path!
As always, thank you for your time and readership! I’ve been stoked to finally reach the “present day” in the comic 😀
For those of you interested in Dark Horse Fashion Zine: Kanna, you can purchase digital or print copies in my Square shop (this is project that had me put the comic on hold in April, 2024). Digital copies are $5; Print copies are $11 + shipping. Printed locally in the U.S., ColorHaus Printing.
Talk to ya’ll later!

Very Very Short Hiatus-Read for Info
Hey everyone,
First, thanks to anyone who’s taken time to stop by this comic. I’m grateful for any time you spend reading. Thank you!
Second, as some of you returning readers may notice (and possibly new readers), I’ve had a bit of trouble uploading pages. This is in part, because I have a deadline for the May 11-12, 2024 Toronto Comic Arts Festival: and that is the Dark Horse Fashion Book: Kanna. I say “in part,” as I’ve also had a on going paid gig (which I love, but takes time), had to finish a Comic Fury Zine, and a string of other projects that have been piling up in addition to videos. I am getting close to having this zine completed.
I am going to try to have a page ready by next week (April 26, 2024). I am so sorry to have to delay pages. But as I was working on the next one, I realized my already not particularly high quality work (boo hoo, don’t feel sorry for me, I am proud of any progress I make) was starting to decline. Just stretching myself too thin right now.
I have finished inking the last full bodied outfit for the Fashion Book, and have it left to digitally color. I also have a shoe, accessory, jewelry, spread/section to complete, as well as backgrounds and text. So pretty much the whole zine: and the digital shop for the TCAF opens in early May! I have to focus on getting this book done so I can send it to my local printer and get it completed in time for the festival.
I want to thank you all for your patience. This is not going to be a long disruption, as I am going to try to keep working on pages, but I wanted to give a more detailed explanation as to why we’ve had a hiccup in page uploads.
We’ll be back very soon! Ideally I’ll have a page every other week starting April 26, and then ramping up to weekly updates once I get the zine completed and I can play “catch up.”
Thank you again for your patience,
Blue Dragon/Ashleen Woods Arnett

Apologies everyone for the delays in page updates! The beginning of this year has been filled with a lot of projects. From the Comic Fury Zine, to prepping and submitting forms for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, to videos, to a paid gig I’ve got to complete by the end of March, and the Fashion Zine I’m working on…things have been a bit packed D:
Since I just passed a major deadline, I’m hoping to get some time to work on my Dark Horse buffer this weekend! I had fun screen-toning this page. It’s been sketched and inked for about a week, but I just hadn’t had time to get to toning it D: So it’s hot off the presses!
Looking forward to getting back to my regular weekly schedule. In the meanwhile, thank you all for your patience!
