Michael Bancroft is the writer and artist behind the web comic / graphic novel The Lucent. It takes anywhere between 30-60 hours to make a single page of this comic, so in order to save time, the artist hires a flatter, and in conjunction with app fees and purchases, 3D models, site hosting fees and other miscellaneous costs, it is a rather expensive enterprise. The story itself is a contemporary fantasy and alternate history epic that seeks to question the nature of what is real, and what really matters. As a family man and full-time designer, the artist has to carefully manage time in order to bring out regular updates, which means daily 5am starts and sacrifices on the weekend. The artist dreams of a day when enough supporters means he can afford to spend more time on the passion. And more time on the comic means more frequent updates.
