Keeping on track as best as I can... I said on Twitter I was going to skip the second font on this page, but when I realized there was no way on earth I was finishing this last night, I decided I would much rather bring that font in. So, online gets the finished version after all!

In Ohayocon news, I'm in the process of completing a full dozen new charm designs, including two new Red Zone character charms. With that and my restock on fasteners, there'll be a better selection of charms next weekend than ever before! Additionally, my copies of Volume 1 arrived safely and are securely packed (those who ordered at Nebraskon, sorry it's taken so long, yours are also being packed to be mailed to you). And I may even have some USPS-approved postcard prints to sell, too, still thinking about that one but leaning more and more toward doing it. I've still got free gifts for those who buy books, and will be doing commissions all weekend as well. And to top it all off, I'm flying in a day early and out a day late, so I'll be well-rested on Friday and one of the last hold-outs on Sunday. Stop by and say hello next weekend!

Here's the missed update from last week... unfortunately, my leaving half my supplies at home nearly a month ago has put me pretty behind schedule and with no more backlog, so guess what I get to do tomorrow?

In other news, I'm officially attending Ohayocon at the end of the month. There'll be an early update ahead of the con, and I'll have copies of the collected Chapters 1-6 for sale, along with various other goodies and original commissions. Once again, somehow I've managed to find my way all the way to Columbus...

Oh look, it's a new year... and a new update, too! And hopefully, knock on wood, I'll get back the supplies I ended up leaving at my parents' house in that nasty blizzard last week (which yes, I was smack in the middle of) and be able to keep on track with the updates yet to come. Yikes. I've only got one more update fully prepped... double yikes.

Merry Christmas-enjoy the update!

Welcome to Chapter 7. I'm not as done as I'd hoped to be at this point, but I have this week and next week done, and the week after is... getting there. It looks like I'll be spending the day inking and toning again. And the holiday. Go me.

Last week of the side story this week... next week will be the start of Chapter 7. I'm not as complete as I'd hoped to be at this point (just inked and scanned page 7, and still got about ten pages to pencil yet), but next week's update is more or less ready, and I'm powering through as much as I can today to try to get some backlog built up. Quite determined to not miss a week on this chapter, so wish me luck!

The late nights and early mornings of the holiday season are wearing me down... it's so nice to be able to finally sleep in, at least once! One week left of the side story after this week, and then the first pages of Chapter 7: Reunion will begin. The small version of the cover may be sneaking on to the website sometime this week... Maybe. :)

Not much to say today, since I'm on my way out of town (the astute observer/obsessive website checker will note this is actually going up on the 25th... well, and anyone who's read this updates now, too). Happy Thanksgiving to the American readers, and happy weekend to the rest!

My computer errors are FIXED! Go me! Of course, that means I blew about a week of working time on them, but I'm back on track with pencils... hopefully I can get pencils and inks knocked out for at least most of the chapter in a month.

Also hopefully, I can get my new copy of Photoshop ordered and installed in a month... because I'm going to run into major problems with finishing if I don't have it, considering everything between inking and posting happens in Photoshop. So, yeah. Wish me luck.

In other news... when it works, Windows 7 is pretty damn awesome. I'm really happy with my load and shutdown times since I tuned everything up. I just wish it could all come back instantly the same way I had it. (Okay, technically it can, the old hard drive with XP and all my programs on it is off in a box next to the TV...)
