The Revamped Secret Gallery is Live!
🕑 Added 2020-09-17 17:54:51 +0000 UTCIf you're a Secret Gallery Tier patron, you might know that the previous gallery kinda died last month because I upgraded to the latest version of PHP and the Secret Gallery CMS was no longer compatible or supported. The old gallery can still be viewed (for now), but I can't log in or add/edit new content. So I had to do an emergency gallery transplant this month. XD
It took a week of work, but the good news is that now the gallery is a part of the main site! But it's not linked within the site (*ahem* it's a secret), so here's the URL:
https://www.demonoftheunderground.com/secretgallery/
If you're a Secret Gallery Tier patron or higher, the last login and password I sent you by private message still works, so you can use it to check out the new gallery. If you're in any other tier and want to upgrade, you'll get the login and password by private message after signing up.
Here are the changes with the new Secret Gallery:
--*Most* posts are now in only one album, instead of them being listed in every relevant album. (This is to make the prev/next links work better.) But every piece of monthly Secret Gallery art I've done is included.
--The minicomics section is brand new!!! It includes all the minicomics done for this tier (formerly mixed into the "monthly character art" album) AND minicomics posted outside the tier, so you don't have to go searching all over the internet for them.
--What was previously "Inktober" is now a catch-all Merritt's Story art folder, including all the Inktober Merritt's Story illustrations and ones done for the monthly art.
--Minicomic series and image sets are now listed within a single post, so you can read the whole thing more easily and the gallery is less cluttered.
--There are a few additions to the gallery, including an old Disqus Q&A (says Discord right now; I gotta fix that), and I'll be continuously adding more. Next on my list is the actual Discord event I did for Merritt's Story book 1 where I took sketch requests. :)
--If there's anything else you'd like to see added to the gallery, let me know! This setup is much more flexible, so I have the ability to post a wider variety of stuff! (A sampler gallery for non-Secret-Gallery patrons is on my to-do list...)
Other Updates
--Public pages return on Monday, and we have a new early access page on Monday too!
--I had to delay work on Merritt's Story to crank out these website upgrades in time for the public return and the Secret Gallery's needs. But now THEY'RE DONE, so I can get back to writing! I'll keep you updated on progress and try to get you guys an excerpt or side story if I can't wrap up the entire book finale this month!
