voting, misc. site updates published on No Comments on voting, misc. site updates

Hey all, just another mini-update that I meant to include last night with the new page, except I was dead tired and just didn’t feel like writing it. I am lazy. While there’s no new page today, there are a few other small things around the site that may or may not be interesting or useful. You decide!

* It’s nearing the end of January, which means that a whole new month of voting is about to begin! If you have a second or two, I’d really appreciate a vote! Voting takes two clicks and helps expose the comic to new readers! Help me out! <3 There's even a new drawing there if you click all the way through. I have plans for new February incentives, as well!

* The Story Guide has been updated to include the conclusion of Chapter Six and the start of Chapter Seven. This is just a running synopsis of the story chapter by chapter for anyone who wants to check up on something without having to re-read the ENTIRE thing. Not that it’s that long. Although I am coming up on 200 pages. 😮

* You can now subscribe to Messenger updates via e-mail in addition to RSS. Signing up for updates will send along the latest new stuff from the site. (Also, because I like to know this stuff when I sign up for things, your e-mail is only used for this subscription and won’t be resold or passed on to anyone else.)

* In other miscellany, I’ve been working on adding more useful tags to each comic page for quick reference, as well as transcriptions to make it more searchable. I’m trying to prepare for the day when I have a huge archive to flip through. One day! ;o;

* I’ve taken down the fall donation wallpaper, so if you missed out on it, sorry! I plan on doing another one eventually. Maybe this spring.

In short, there will be a new page Sunday night/Monday morning, because that’s all anyone really cares about, anyway. :B

Weekly Update – 11/09

Weekly Update – 11/09 published on No Comments on Weekly Update – 11/09

Not a lot going on on this page, but no worries: there’s another update coming tomorrow!

In news this week, I’m trying to promote the forums at the request of several fans. As I mentioned in my previous post, the forums have never quite built back up to what they used to be before the comic site was hacked a few years ago, so I’m working on that. I’ve added a new section that’s only available to registered members where I plan on adding sketches, page previews, and other “behind the scenes” extras. As we speak, I’m preparing sketches for chapter seven to upload this week, as well as one-panel-previews for upcoming pages. Come join in! 🙂

There’s a new vote incentive up this week, the second in a series of new coloring styles I’ve been trying out for work on Chapter Seven. I’m also willing to take ideas or requests for future vote incentive drawings, so if you have any characters or ideas in mind, leave a comment or post on the forum!

After looking through the script I’ve got going, and some of the pages I’ve got together, it looks like I’m running short on materials for working on Chapter Seven – specifically, Chio-colored markers. I’ve been using the same set of markers for the past six years, and they’re finally burning out on me. I work as a freelance designer, and business has been slow this past month, plus I’m getting ready to move to a new house which has an assortment of related costs. To try and alleviate the cost of picking up the new colors I need, I’ve added a special donation wallpaper to the sidebar. If you donate any amount, you can download a copy in your choice of two large sizes. Picking up a copy of the book would also help out (there’s a coupon code once again this month, use GREATBOOK when checking out from lulu.com to get 10% off your order. I also have an extra copy on hand that I’m willing to let go for $12 + shipping which I’ll sign and draw in just for you!) and I’m also planning on putting some of my original drawings up for sale, since all they do is sit around and take up space in my drawer, anyway.

I’ve been thinking about doing a little side story thing in addition to the regular comic, just for fun. I’ve drawn so far ahead that I literally feel like I have nothing to do other than a little write up for the new pages as they go up. Being prepared is almost boring!

That’s all for now!

Vote if you get a chance!
