Keep a watch on the main page and all our social media sites (check the link icons along the top edge). I'll be announcing the IndieGoGo funding campaign soon. Wish me luck! (And get in there for a chance to own a copy of Aspect with additional goodies!

So today makes the 100th page of Aspect to be finished! Isn't that awesome? We're about 27 pages away from completing Book 1!

Unfortunately I've been too busy MAKING the comic to do anything special to mark page #100. If anyone out there wants to make some fanart, I'd LOVE to feature it. That's the last bit of whining you'll hear from me :)

So, I am sad to announce the last double-weekly update today. For the duration of Chapter 4, I'll be posting one page a week. Not because I'll only get one done, but because I know that a few months down the line, I'll have Chapter 4 completed and I'll need to switch gears to cranking out backlogged pages of Jikoshia as well as prepping Aspect Book 1 for print. Me and Em have been charging into this year with our sites set on the goal of publishing both our first books in September. For me, that means keeping a strict deadline on two separate books. And with the way publishing goes, even self-publishing the books, even with on-demand printing, we'll need to have all the files done and ready to go about 40-50 days before the Con, in early September.

So, to keep you all entertained this year without horrendous month+ hiatuses, I've decided to post a single page of Aspect each week. I'll try my best to post sketches, vote incentives, and teasers on Facebook.

I finished an obnoxiously long work week (56 hours is no fun), and I'm so glad I pushed to get ahead on pages the week before, because it means I had SOMETHING to show you all this past week. I apologize for the unfinished quality of these pages, but Em and I are really gung-ho to keep things moving, and I'd rather have lame updates than no updates. That being said, I finished thumbnails and planning for Chapter 4 during my lunches this past week, and that is good to go very soon!

I'll actually be hitting my 100th page soon! Isn't that awesome? If ever I was hinting for fanart, this is a hint. I would love you, show your work on the main site and did I mention love you forever? :3

I know I use the "I'm Dead" avatar a little too often, but that seems to have been my state of being for the last 6 months. I took a look, and my last comic page update was in JULY. Yikes! No wonder I feel like I haven't gotten anything done! But I should remind you (and myself) that I completed all the coloring on Jikoshia Chapter 1 in a single month, fixed and prepared everything to print Aspect Chapters 1 and 2 (which included shading 10 pages that had been lost in archiving) And also COMPLETED the 30 characters challenge this year! Creating a plethora of new characters for my side project, which I'm officially announcing the title of: Issendoth: Reclaiming Himmerd

I have another story I'm considering working on as well, but that will depend on how much my wits get frayed by this holiday season. Being a print monkey does mean that I will have less and less to do as Christmas and New Years approaches, though, so expect some more regular updates from me in the near future.

Thanks again for being here to read this. The idea that people appreciate my work gives me a warm little spot in that lump of coal that serves as my heart :)
