Lookie who’s got another comic!

  Someone once said I tend to update in bursts.  The next 4 comics are drawn and inked.  Once I add the tones, I’ll upload ALL of them and move on to the next batch.  This comic will be toned by Sunday, and the rest will also be uploaded so there will definitely be updates Sunday nights (Monday at midnight) because they’ll already be done.  There’s also a batch of vote art drawn and I’ll be posting that come August.

I can’t even begin to say how busy things have been.  There are two VERY large projects I’m working on in addition to Paradox Lost, and I can’t talk about either one yet. >_<  In addition to that, money has been really tight and real life has been super crazy.  Not bad, in fact, it’s good, it’s just a lot happening all at once.  I think this is always going to be my biggest curse because PL is run by a crew of me.  Luckily, my other projects have got help.  I just wanted to toss something out for you guys.

A couple cons are coming up, and I’m hoping that they inject some funds into my sad little wallet.  Being a bit more financially stable would probably be the biggest thing to help the update schedule around here.  Well, stick around, a lot of updates are about to post.  ^^

Just got back to Virginia today! I loved my visit to Maine, and my family is all moved into their new home, while I am finally settling in here where it’s a little warmer. My plan to update was dashed when the only computer that could have handled it died the day I arrived. ^^; I do however have art:

This is a drawing of Vash the Stampede from Trigun, as requested by a friend of mine. I have more vote art coming very soon, so don’t miss any! Updates will resume tomorrow (probably late, as I need to spend time photoshoppping what’s drawn) and then get back to normal. More news soon, can’t wait to get back to work! =D

Blarg! The move is going well but keepin’ me busy and tired. Last night a close friend went into the ER, though, and that pretty much shot the night. I’m heading back out now to get more moving done, then I’m going to try and grab a nap and get something posted. Only a little while longer and we’ll be back on track. =)
It’s a new month! don’t forget to vote! It really helps, and the start of the month is really important! I’ll post some cool art with this update. ^^; Thanks everyone for understanding!

Sorry for the lack of tones.  Things might be a little flaky for the next week or two as I finish up the moving process.  (Which entails a few more trips to Maine and Back to Virginia.  It’s over 600 miles. @__@ )  Tones as soon as I can get them done.  (But no more lack of updates!)

Lucas finally appears.  At Connecticon’s charity auction,  I auctioned a place in PL as a character, and Lucas won.  It was initially a bit part, but he actually fits nicely into the story, so we may see more of him.  ^^  At least enjoy him and the antics he’ll cause over the next little arc.

I are brain melty. x.x

Back in Virginia, about a day later than I planned, but in one piece.  Going to get the tones out now, then it’ll be time to jump right on the next comic.

Still a lot of coding I want to do as well, and I need to post a little new art.  The cherry blossoms are awesome out here, maybe I’ll do something with a sakura theme.

Sorry for the lack of news and TWC art this week!  Things are really busy around here as I get ready to head back to Maine.  As I’m leaving in a few hours, the comic will be posted as line art for a day.  Still up Monday 12AM, just without tones.  As soon as I’m back, I’ll tone it up.

I’ll also post some new TWC art.  Thanks for all the votes!  It really does help. ^^

I’ve also got some really cool new features in the works for the site.  A lot of this week was spent coding.  Once I get back, I’ll be working to implement the new stuff.  One of the first things will be the forums.  ^^  Yay new stuff!

It’s interesting to write PL lately. The characters have always sort of done what they want to do. They’ve got their own personalities. Or maybe it’s just that I’m crazy. Either way, all the story arcs are all on a very rapid collision course, and it’s been a challenge trying to figure out which part to show when and where. The script keeps evolving, but I like it that way. It keeps things fun.

Now, for TWC this time around, I’m trying something different, and I need your help. Since the new addition of Mongo, our third cat, I’ve been drawing kittehs. (Click to see lots more!)

The idea was that I’d use these somehow. They’re completely unrelated to PL, but they’re a lot of fun to draw, and I keep coming up with new ideas for them just by watching the three cats and their antics. I have some more I’ll post later this week. The question I have is, would you guys like more of this stuff? I initially sketched these out while brainstorming for new t-shirt designs. Should I use these concepts for new merch? Another comic? Throw them out? Let me know! I might make them into stuff, if there’s enough interest. ^^

I have some site work to do this week, some minor redesign, and hopefully the addition of RSS feeds and forums (which are finally looking pretty good, I just need to finish up a few images). I also have a few other things I want to ramble about, so check back later. ^^ Oh, and comment or mail me some feedback! Hope you’re liking the comics!

It’s been a lot of fun putting Beerd and Nami back into the spotlight. Before long, all the crazy, winding story arcs will come together. If I can get enough support off the comic, I’ll be updating more than once a week. (It’s tough to read a story one page a week!) I’m still in the process of settling in and trying to work up enough money to pay the bills in Maine before I can start even thinking about making new ones here in VA. April is going to be a tough month.

Speaking of April, have some new TWC art:

Do you like Pokemanz?

This one is a colored pencil piece that I mean to re-ink and CG.  This is the kind of thing that I’ve been doing at conventions for commissions.   If you want one done, this is the time, before I get too swamped!  I habs email, you know how it works. ^^

New site updates soon, and new arts.  I need to tweak the newpost area a little more, and the sidebar.  I also need to upload a bunch of new wallpapers.  Gwah!  I’mma get working on that now.  And I’m determined to get RSS working here sooooon!

Back from Anime Boston. Managed to get the tones done Monday afternoon, too. Nami and Weer’d Beerd are a lot of fun to draw! ^^

Speaking of draw, here’s some new TWC art:

The votes I’ve gotten from you guys blow me away! Thanks! I like this system of comics on Monday and art throughout the week. I plan to do a lot more drawing and color a lot of the art I’ve been drawing. I’m also thinking that I may put the old pieces on Deviant art (which is easily found at paradox-lost.deviantart.com.) There’s no art there yet, just a lot of PL fanart in the faves. If you draw PL fanart at DA, let me know so I can link it up. ^^

Anime Boston was good times. It’s been a while since I’d been there, and it’s gotten big! I’m really glad I didn’t have to wait in the super long lines! @__@ Thanks so much to Anime USA for asking me to come along with them, and to Brian Wilson for sharing some space with me in the Artist Alley. Also, much thanks to Kiki, Punkstara and Andi for helping me out by watching the table and getting much needed coffee and food!

The usuals were in attendance at AB this year. It was great to see the Dejesi, the Ayres Bros, Betina, Svet, Mookie, Kilika, Shew, Damien, Garth, Akikio and Li, Snafu Dave, Mr. Handyside, the Morlock crew, the Hendane crew, Jade Edge, Chris Dame (FANTASTIC art!) and a slew of otherse I’m sure I’ve forgotten. (Sorry!!^^; )

It was also great to meet some new folks. Dan Howard of Udon Crew (fanboy moment!) and his lovely table mate Luciole both have some really beautiful work. I also had some really cute sketches drawn in my sketchbook by Green Rapsody and Kaede-Chama, who does a cute manga called “Mahou Shounen”.

Whew! Hope those links keep you busy for a while. I’mma get back to arting. Check back soon for some more art, and thanks again for all the support!
