Update on the next chapter

I’m finally drawing chapter 15. For some reason the script was really hard for me to write this time. I think it was because I was sticking with a situation that had played out and I knew would be boring to read, and I was trying to drag the chapter out more than it had to be. Once I moved on to the next arc, things came together fairly quickly. (It’s also entirely possible I was distracted by my TNG marathon, but who wouldn’t be after staring into Patrick Steward’s dreamy eyes….*ahem* moving on)

I’ve got my cintiq to work on now, which is REALLY making things go quickly drawing wise. I can sketch quickly and move right to the digital inking phase, skipping pencils all together. I am super glad I bought this thing, even though I’m still suffering financially for it.

But I just wanted to give a progress report so you guys didn’t think I was going to take off for a year again. I’ll try and post a work in progress shot (I’ve already got the first page coloured, and it’s one of my favourites!) when I get home.

New chapter, new site, new start

Dear god in heaven, this site is going to murder me. Well, I’ve managed to at least re-upload the comic including the new chapter, which you can read here. I haven’t had a chance to customize this place yet, but honestly, I can’t fight with it anymore today (it’s midnight and I have to be at work for 8am…*sigh*). If you signed up on the site previously to comment, you’re going to need to do so again, since I had to completely re-install wordpress to get this working. The upside is the comic should be much easier to navigate.

A big huge apology for how late this new update is. It’s been over a year since the last chapter came out. It’s been a rough year for me. I was working two jobs, getting up at 4am and working until 9pm, with my only breaks coming when I ate food and was riding the bus for an hour in between places. I was also working 7 days a week, which didn’t leave much time or energy for art. On top of that my dog died (seriously, not an excuse. It was unexpected and I’m not completely over her, she was my bestest bud, and we travelled all over together). All in all, I’d've done a lot of things different in the last 365 days. Ah, hind-sight, if only you would show up sooner.

I’m back to just the one job now, and I’ve just purchased my first home to boot. I’ve got a new puppy who’s keeping me occupied, but other than that I’m finally getting caught up on all the projects that got put on hold. For now, no promises on when the next chapter will be up, but I am still going to continue. Enjoy folks!
