Update on the status of the comic

I have some good news, and some bad. Well, it's not really bad, as it'll benefit the comic in the long run, but.. well, you'll see.

The good news is, after many months of being busy with school, I nearly have the next page done. I only have to shade the background now. :). I'll try to have it up by Friday.

The 'bad' news is that I will be postponing newer pages that would continue the current plot in favor of a prologue chapter. I feel that this will greatly enhance the comic, and make it feel more akin to a real Harry Potter book. After all, those always begin with something in the past, or involve someone other than Harry.
I also feel that it would make things make more sense, and give Iruel more of a proper introduction. This will, like the first few pages, also be in full color, and will only be posted once all of it is finished. I REALLY hope to have it done by the end of the year or sooner, but I can't guarantee anything. Once I begin the prologue, I will let you know how many pages to expect, and how far I am in drawing/coloring each one as I draw them.

After the prologue, I will resume work on the newer pages. I may also go back and redraw the first few current pages, but that won't affect new pages.

That's it for now. :). I hope you do enjoy the new page once it's out, and hope you enjoy the prologue.

Comic on hiatus for awhile

As stated in my Twitter post, the comic will be on hiatus until at least the middle of March. Unfortunately, this term has me overloaded with homework--art homework. The time I'd normally spend on comics is now spent on art homework for the most part. Even when I don't have homework, I don't particularly feel like doing anything that invovles the computer (art wise). It's put me into a bit of an art block. ^^;.
And even if I did feel like drawing, I'd have to redraw many of the pages I had set aside for the comic. I don't like them anymore. ^^;;;. By spring break, homework should slow down, as it looks like next term's art class is a lecture class, and the other is a class on typography--something that doesn't involve really drawing complex designs outside class(or at least I assume not). I'm really hoping this is the case.
Anyway, I'll see all of you again in mid-March. I'll post another message announcing my continuing the comic.
