ComicGenesis is up again, you can read the comic anyway. But the tools for fiddling with the site are down, so I don't know when the new page will go up, maybe midnight (ftp and automatic updates are still working).
Cause yes, I did upload a new page! Not two like I promised, but one's a start, right? Actually, I decided I'm going to drop back down to one update a week already, for a couple of reasons: 1. I don't seem to be able to make two pages a week, I think because I keep insisting on doing other things like running, studying Cantonese, reading books, reading webcomics, napping, going to karate and cooking, to name a few, instead of drawing. 2. Three weeks out of four in August will be even more full of non-comic life (one because of karate camp and the other two because my boyfriend will finally be back in town), and I haven't even been able to start on a buffer for that time, or for when I leave for HK (and I'll need to add reviewing Mandarin and Japanese to my list of non-comic duties soon as well...) So, basically, I can't keep up this pace. I am not a super-fast mangaka. :( Sad me.

Keenspace aka ComicGenesis seems to be down atm, so if you're trying to access the comic and it's not working, don't come after me :b This is really annoying because I want to make birthday art for Dutch of School Spirit (hopefully that link will be working soon :b) but I'm not sure what the characters look like. And he lives in Australia so it's already Friday there. RARGH!! Get your *** back on online, silly servers!!!
Um, yeah. Yesterday's update is still in progress. I could use the excuse of ComicGen being down, but the truth is I haven't traced and shaded the page yet cause I spent last night chatting with a buddy I hadn't talked to in a while and checking out his comic, Spare Time (I know, useless atm, but hey, maybe in a few hours it'll be working again? At which point you should all read it cause it's hilarious) And now I'm working on Dutch's birthday art. Not like I could upload a new page now anyway. So maybe there will be a double update tomorrow. Until then...check out the links page and go read a comic that's not on Keenspace. ComicGen, whatever. Just don't forget to come back in a while, they might fix it at any moment :b

'K, no new page yet, but I should have one later today. (If not, slap me! :b) Instead, I've been spirffing up the site again. I decided the graphics were too big and the navigation links confusing, so I tried to fix it a bit. If anyone stumbles by, let me know what you think on the tagboard there.

Yay, on a regular update schedule. Kind of. Wednesdays and Fridays works all right, when I'm home to draw the comics. Going to Pittsburgh for a week was not conducive to that though. But now I think all is well and comics will go up regularly twice a week. I might cut it back down to once a week if it looks like I won't be able to cover the next couple of busy spots (karate camp and departure for Hong Kong). Hopefully I can make enough of a buffer to cover those though. Anyway, after I go to HK (end of August) I'll definitely go back to updating once a week. Not spending all my time in the coolest city on earth drawing comics! :b

The cover for the whole comic is finally done!! I couldn't wait to show it off, so I just replaced the yucky old chapter 1 cover with it. Soon there will also be a prologue and new cover for Chapter 1.
My progress may seem slow, but I really don't do much other than work on this comic all day. Drawing, painting, planning, sketching. Sometimes napping, going to karate, reading webcomics, or listening to my Cantonese tapes. Working on the weekends. No life really, though. But I'm not complaining, I like my easy life! :D
Now that all the tough stuff like the site and the cover are done, I'm going to try to set up and stick to an update schedule. Right now I'm thinking Wednesday and Friday. We'll see how well that works out.
