Four Corners Volume 1 is out on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!

Posted on August 15, 2024 by boniae

I have great news!! After MANY months, Four Corners Volume 1 is finally released via Amazon and Barnes & Noble! ✨🍾🎉

If you wanted to grab a copy, this price is slightly cheaper than the version I sell on etsy. The new version’s paper is textured rather than smooth matte, and is slightly longer than the old version. The new version also has a soft touch matte cover.

Content wise, there are no differences from the new version to the older version, aside from the back cover page having a new picture.

However, if you’d still like the opportunity for a signed copy with some freebies and a sketch card, feel free to buy a copy from my etsy!

I’m almost there with the 2nd volume version though! Hopefully volume 2 will be available by the end of this year. ✨ The coolest thing about volume 2 is that there are going to be some done pages, edits, and the addition of an extra page.

Hope to see you soon! 🎉

Summer 2024 Updates

Posted on July 10, 2024 by boniae

It’s been a long time since I made a blog post! As you may be aware, after a pretty long hiatus, I’ve been trying (my best!) to update Four Corners frequently as I did before, which is weekly or three times a month. I hope you are enjoying Chapter 9 so far, it’s a big turning point for the story! If you are curious to how to read more pages ahead (and the password to unlock them) you simply just need to sign up to the newsletter and an email containing the password will be sent to you. It’s that simple!

Also, many apologies for the lack of color on these recent pages as well, I’m currently trying to focus on producing more lined pages in bulk in an attempt to finish this comic much faster, so I’m thinking that black and white pages might just have to be the norm for now. I’m planning on coloring the pages later when the comic goes to print, but as you all know, this comic has been going on for a very long time and I’d really like to finish it at some point 😅 That’s why just focusing on line art has been so much less stressful than trying to add color to the pages too. Currently I’m lining chapter 12 out of 16 chapters, and I’m moving onto thumb nailing chapter 15. So in terms of sketches/thumbnails, I’m almost there! (About 130 left to thumbnail)

Aside from that, I’m also in the process of getting more distribution for Volume 1 using Ingram. I’m just waiting to approve the proof and then get a copy and check out how it looks. This will be a print on demand book and slightly cheaper than the book I distribute, and also a 6×9 size (slightly longer in height). This book doesn’t have a difference from the current one selling, so if you already have a copy you’re not missing out!

Progress is also still being made on Volume 2, and I’m really hoping to get those out by the end of the year. Most pages have been formatted for the printed size, the bubbles retypesetted, but the next thing would be to redraw some panels, then edit places in the script that have to be fixed. I’m going to see how the quality is at Ingram, but most likely will have two different books for Volume 2, one printed in a higher quality and then the books on Ingram via Amazon or other retailers (if it can really get any traction that way!)

In the meantime, that’s all I have! Thank you all so much for reading and those of you who still enjoy this comic. 💖

Out of hiatus and back in action!

Hi all! Phew, it’s definitely been a long time, but I come bearing good news! 🎉✨ Starting this week, I’m going to start updating Four Corners again!

As of right now I’m not sure what day it’ll be on, so the Sunday update may change to another day that might work better for me. It feels nice to get back to an old routine, to be honest–and I think a year away from posting allowed me to recharge in a way I haven’t been able to experience in a long time. Now I feel renewed and motivated to get back to something I deeply miss doing.

Some things to note/things I’ll be working on:

  • April marks the comic’s NINE year anniversary!!? Yeah…I guess it’s been that long!! I used to like to do something special every April, but as for right now I’m out of ideas. 😅 So for this month I’m also running a sale on the volume 1 books in spirit of the anniversary month!
  • Still working hard with getting volume 2 together. Volume 2 will contain chapters 5-8, and I’m currently trying to re-adjust all the pages to the new size, and then afterwards I need to re-typeset and edit the book.
  • I’m currently lining Chapter 11, page 43/50, so I’m almost done with Chapter 11 line’s! I’ve also finished all the sketches for Chapter 12, so I now need to do thumbnails for Chapter 13. (Thankfully it’s a short chapter, only 26 pages.)

So that looks about it for updates! There’s a lot to do, but somehow or another I’ll manage! Keep your eyes peeled for the next update, and be sure to follow my on my instagram for sneak peaks on pages and my other art related stuff! It’s the social media I’m the most active on.

Until next time!

It’s been a long time!

It’s been a weird few months, and I apologize to anyone who’s been wondering and waiting to see if Four Corners is still alive! I’ve been working as much as I can on new pages of Four Corners (currently lining chapter 11, sketching mid-way through chapter 12) but to be honest it’s not a priority for me to update it consistently as a webcomic right now. I’m trying to put most of my focus into drawing the rest of the comic, but first just tackling lineart. I’ve also been working on some other projects these days which will hopefully come more to fruition this year through print, as I am attempting to start up a small publishing press. Wish me luck on that, haha! 🤣

WIP of volume 2’s cover design
  • Chapters 5-8 have been edited! I just need to get cracking to format everything for a second book starting this year, and hoping for a book 2 release later 2023.
  • Looking into getting copies within the local Northeast Ohio comic shop area. If you are a retailer or library and would like to carry Four Corners, please let me know, either via email or through etsy. I do not have a distributor but I can ship them to wherever you are located.
  • If I end up releasing some pages for Four Corners this year though, they will most likely just be in black and white. Not an ideal situation, but I currently just don’t have enough time to color pages right now.

Lastly, thanks to everyone who still likes reading Four Corners and all those who’ve supported over the years! I really don’t think I’ll ever have another project I will love as much as Four Corners. Truthfully I don’t want it to end, but I also know I really need to finish it, but will definitely be sad when I do–if that makes sense haha.

Hope to see you soon!

A whole new batch of books are up for sale!

Whew, after many months of preparing the files for Four Corners Volume 1, I finally ordered them and they arrived two weeks ago!!! They look AMAZING!! Books are 152 pages and in full color. The paper is nice and moderately thick (so the books are much thicker than the previous books) and the cover has a matte finish.

If you want to grab yourself a copy, they are currently on my etsy for 25.00!
➡ www.etsy.com/shop/boniae

If you live in the Ohio area I am working on getting them in some local bookstores / comic shops this summer, and hoping to sell these at the Pekar Park Comic Fest in Cleveland Heights which is in August.

Now onto the next volume haha, I just need to get the rest of my stuff edited and I’m going to try to release the next volume by the end of this year / beginning of 2023.

Now comes the challenge of trying to move these as quickly as I can. 😅 Wish me luck, and thanks for reading!
