Happy Monday! New Comics! New Vote Incentive!

Happy Monday! New Comics! New Vote Incentive! published on No Comments on Happy Monday! New Comics! New Vote Incentive!

First off, if you’re American, Happy Memorial Day! If not, Happy Yet Another Monday!

If you’re feeling kind, I’d really appreciate a vote this week! Messenger has been consistently stuck at the 252 spot on TWC for ALL OF MAY. My goal for June is to get anywhere above 200, so I’m hoping you guys will stick with me! Make a bookmark to the vote page and vote every day! Since it’s the last day of May, we’ll have a head start to gain some ground over the course of this week while TWC resets and everyone settles back into their places. Also, remember that for the next 3 weeks the vote incentive will be a new minicomic featuring Luke and Aki. Click on Luke below to go vote! ♥

I had a ton of fun working on this week’s page. I don’t often get to add in extra sound effects and stuff like that, so I really enjoy coming up with them when I do. In this case, trying to figure out what ancient speakers broadcasting a digitized voice would look like. :B

So, there’s just one page left for Chapter Seven, and the debate from a few weeks ago about whether Eldora survives will be settled at last! Meanwhile, there’s a poll about this on the forums. “Eldora lives!” is currently winning with 80% of the votes. But what do you think?

Been working away on book pages, as well. After I get a more decently-sized chunk of them completed, I plan to scan and post rough versions on the forums. I’m really happy with the way they’re turning out so far. My next plan is to set a deadline for myself to have everything completed. In my head, this is the end of June, but knowing myself I’m not sure how well I’ll stick to that. I think it’s definitely do-able, if I keep a decent pace. We’ll see how that goes.

In other miscellaneous notes, I’ve been tweaking the site a bit to make the ads more streamlined. They’re useful in that they help to fund the site and comic supplies (and groceries) but I have a hard time actually making them “fit” in. I decluttered things a bit and stuck them in their own neat boxes, and so far I’m pretty happy with the result. I also added a big vote link that’s at the top of every page now, in hopes of getting Messenger a bit further up the list at TWC. :B

That’s all I’ve got for this update. Thanks for reading!

new vote incentive, livestream schedule

I am going to do a live video stream/Q&A session on Saturday, May 1 from 7-9 PM EST (-05:00 UTC). (Possibly longer if things are going well, or shorter if no one shows up!)

During this session, for the first hour I plan on working on some of the refreshed pages I’m doing for Chapter Two which will be part of the Chapter Two book I’m planning on releasing this summer, like the first book I did last year. During the second hour (and longer, if it goes that way) I’m going to take reader questions live in the chat and via Twitter. If you can’t make the live session, you can also ask questions now through comments here or on Formspring and I’ll answer them during the stream session! I am planning on recording the whole session so it can be watched later, so you’ll still get to see an answer to your question. 🙂

There’s a new forum thread available if you want to ask comic questions or have other questions/chat about the stream session. You might also want to try visiting Messenger’s ustream.tv channel in advance to see if it works on your computer. Chances are, if you can watch Youtube videos, you’ll be able to tune in for the stream session. Try it out!

**Edit! As an aside, you shouldn’t NEED a ustream.tv account to participate in the chat/stream session, but it might be a good thing as you’ll have a unique username. You can also participate by commenting @radio_chio on Twitter!

There’s also a new vote incentive up tonight! The third installment of Terrible Minicomic Theatre! You can catch up on the past two episodes by registering on the forums. There’s only one left to go!

Hope everyone’s having a great week, and I hope to see you on the first! 😀

aw, great.

So my plan was to get my buffer ready and have another month of pages set to go, along with the usual Monday page, since I do them in batches to keep the colors consistent. Except, my weekend kind of got eaten up by a bunch of important things and I’m just not done with the backgrounds and I’m dead tired now, so it’ll have to wait. Things will be back together by Tuesday. I’m always afraid of losing all my readers once I slip up with an update since I went through that almost-a-year hiatus a couple of years ago, so I figure it’s at least worth making a note of. :X I just feel like crap about this because I haven’t missed an update in a long time. Life intervenes, sadly.

In the meantime, there’s a new general question & answer thread up on the forum that anyone can contribute to.

Or, there’s this formspring thing where you can ask questions in complete anonymity. Always a good time.
