Working on webcomics

[secondlina]

So yeah.

I've been a bit silent and anti-social lately. Mostly, because i've been pretty busy with drawing. And even better, I wanted to be. It's been a while since I fully indulged in a period of time where I just spend some time behind my desk. I apologize to friends near and far that I may have completely ignored.

Mostly, the plan this week was to finish the entire "Namesake" prologue (9 pages). So far, so good. I'll definitely reach my goal. I want to have at least 15 pages up before the webcomic starts (so reading the archives isn't dreadfully boring and short, you know? Make people want to read more!) and I would like to be at least 3 weeks in advance, page wise (considering we want to update 3 times per week, that means 9 pages. so I need to have 24-25 pages ready on the webcomic launch. I can do it. I just need to spend a few days fully drawing.

I want to start preparing and sketching pages for my printed comic "Potions" as well.

Long story short, projects are advancing well, i'm quite happy with it, it kills my social life and i'm sorry about that.... *hugs everyone*

Little bonus preview? Here's the cover for the prologue (Every chapter gets a cover) :



And even better? angelchan_2004  is the proud creator of the first ever Namesake fanart, featuring Warrick the wicked warlock of the west and the leading lady, Emma. Warrick, you don't even fully exist yet and you already have people loving you. What are you trying to do man?

I love this drawing so much! :D



Oh, did anyone else watch episode one of FUTURAMA? I liked it, though it seemed really random. I'm happy they didn't reset Fry and Leela's relationship to friend mode, like they usually do in un-canceled tv shows to keep the sexual tension going. But from what we can see from the episode "Rebirth", their love is going to be weird, sappy and random as hell. If a couple could ever destroy the universe accidentally, it would be them. As long as Zap Brannigan doesn't do it first.

Also, Bender! Amy and Kif! ZAP! EEEEE!! ....Hermes, mon, what's wrong with your voice? And where did your hot wife go?

Oooh! That looks exciting! I don't know anything about your project, but it looks fun.

"Namesake" is a co-production by me and Isa about two sisters and the power of names and the need to travel to different worlds to keep the universe in balance. It's a pretty awesome mix of history, literature and fairy tales, and it's a fantastic project to work on. We're hoping to launch it in September. You can see Isa's announcement about it here and the same announcement from my perspective.

I love history, literature, and fairy tales so that will be very exciting to read.

Glad you'll be a part of our future readers! It's always awesome to see familiar faces among them.

Errr.... what my partner in crime said *points to Dqbunny's response* :D

You can be sure that if you like pretty art, fairy tales and adventure, it's the story for you!
