I HAVE RETUUUUUUUUURNED.

After a month-and-change-hiatus, I have returned with another intermission story before the new chapter begins.

<———CLICK TO READ

This one has been a lot of fun to draw.  Hope you guys find it all worth whatever wait you did.  Sorry you had to wait so long, but now I’m back on my normal schedule of Tuesdays and Thursdays updates!

Enjoy!

THE END OF CHAPTER 2.

Finally.  I have been waiting to finish this chapter for ages, as I’ve been waiting to get to draw the next one for just as long.  The next chapter will get into the real meat of things, AND all the scenes will be a lot more fun to draw.

Unfortunately, I’ll be taking about a month off.  Because of my day job, it’s been harder and harder to keep up my schedule.  So I’ll take a month off of posting and try and get a back log of at least 10 pages before I start up again.  And everyone will be happier!

So: SORRY.  Check back in a month for chapter 3: THE BRINE KING.

Definitely one of those pages where it was a blast to draw and then when I finished I was all, “This maybe sucks.”

Now, that’s not saying that it sucks as a drawing.  I’m very happy with it as a drawing.  But as a comic page, I’m not sure it works or will work in the eyes of the reader.  But with webcomics, one must push forward, and hopefully the page will end up working in conjunction with the page before it, and after.

This can’t be good.  Noooooooooooooooo, sir.

Not sure about the bottom panels.  Recently I’ve been noticing how stiff a lot of my poses are, I wish I could get some sense of fluidity and motion into my characters.  Sometimes I got it, sometimes I don’t.  Oh well, gotta put the pages out.

Next page on Thursday.

This page was a lot of fun to draw.  Didn’t know if it would work, but I think jumping between the two scenes adds to the page a bit.  And yes before you mention, you’re right, that giant bird didn’t do much before he died, but hey, it was fun to draw him!

Is the way I’m doing this blog thing working for you folks for now?  I seriously need to streamline my site and make it more friendly, I just haven’t had the patience or the time to really sink my teeth into it lately.  Work and all.  Soon, hopefully.

Missed you guys on Thursday, busy times at work.  Sorry!

Here’s page 53, in which there is some action which I am not entirely sure works.  But I like it anyway!

I do a lot of shameless (see: shameful) self promotion on social networks and the like, but it ain’t always enough, so if you guys dig the comic a lot, make sure to tell your friends who might be into it.  ONLY if you dig it though, guys.

End pitiful requests for attention.

So I’ve decided to make the main page of my site more of a blog where I’ll be posting various sketchbook bits and other little comics.  So whenever I post a new page, I’ll make a blog post on the main site with a thumbnail linking to the full size image.

We’ll see whether this works and maybe I’ll keep it, maybe I won’t.

Just got back from Thailand, which was great, but now I’m seriously behind on comics work.  Aw, jeez.

The ever-inspirational Brandon Graham recently started a new cover meme based around Moebius’ brilliant STARWATCHER illustration.  Here’s Brandon’s post about it, with his own cover and Moebius’ original: http://royalboiler.wordpress.com/

I decided I wanted to do a cover featuring Lt. Ellen Ripley from Aliens, one of my favorite movies. Ripley is a really interesting character to me.  She’s a sad figure, strong willed and stubborn.  I wanted to have some kind of focus on the derelict ship they find on LV-426 in the first film, as both the planet and the ship itself seem to haunt Ripley in some way.

Literally RIGHT as I finished this I checked the Moebius tumblr QUENCHED CONSCIOUSNESS where all of these covers are being posted, only to find someone else had already done a Ripley cover.  Luckily, his is Ripley from the first film, while mine is from the second, which I think is awesome.  Two very different women.  Here’s his: http://theairtightgarage.tumblr.com/

Couldn’t update last week because of teaching responsibilities, but things are getting rollin’ pretty seriously over here, BIG TIME.

Also, I’ve been getting back into sketching again, and it feels great. It’s a lot of fun to just draw with no planning and let the pen guide what happens. I did this ORC STAIN fanart drawing in my sketchbook and decided to color it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/84621473@N00/5776370880/in/photostream/
