Random Encounter update! Only a half-page, but I'd rather post that than nothing :V Should have the other half up Monday, yes. Plus, if I split it here then I can raise everybody's hopes of Nettle having a decent part in this volume. But no, I didn't even draw him on the cover, even though he has a cat face. I probably should have, for no other reason than that. I mean I even put Jake on there for no reason, OH WELL.
Poor Nettle, he is out of the loop all the time.

Wooo I can't believe I'm actually not failing updating that often. But here, another Random Encounter update! I probably should've at least done a little bit of programming thisafternoon... but then I was like "comic"! Wasted the day drawing instead... Also Loki wants to skip school. There's a shocker for you!

Random Encounter update! Claw has no idea what is going on still... and yes this means those guest comics Shauni drew me two volumes ago are TOTALLY CANON. I'd scrounge up said guest comics and link but... eh... they're there somewhere. Anyway, onwards in the grand quest to visit Mana then!
Stilllll trying to hastily throw together the sketches for the next couple of comics. And I've got some flash programming I need to get done this week... so yeah, if I miss an update, those are the excuses I'll be using. Fairly warned be ye!
Saturday August 28
New Game update! Now you know... what all the bit character's names are. Yessir, that's right. Boss lady, dogface and that other guy. Well actually there is also another guy, but yeah, near enough. Boss lady is a bit brightly coloured though for no real reason, ho ho ho.

Oh snap. I'm as surprised as everyone else, but here we are with another on-time, full-page Random Encounter update. That's crazyyy. When does that ever happen? Let alone three times in a row! Gosh. I had a lot of fun drawing Taide's ludicrously bright wings, heheh. Rosellas are kind of cool. Canada is a sad land as I have not seen any parrots yet. Le sigh. Also I am patting myself on the back for having the two main catfaces in this volume have no markings, that was a good idea for my lazy bones. A lucky coincidence, since Snatch is just Snatch... and for Skysh I was like 'ehhhh I'll just colour her the same as my dad's cat'. Skysh also does not know what the word headmistress means. Or polite.
Nowww I don't have tomorrow's New Game even sketched out yet, I've been so busy this week :V But I don't want to miss it, so I'll try to get that done in time! I also haven't had the time to sketch out even one of the Random Encounters for next week... so once again I'll have to play it by ear as far as updates go. Hopefully things will magically turn out as well as the last week of updates! I don't know how likely that is though, haha.

Random Encounter update! Somehow a full page too... whooosh. Haha, I barely got a quarter of the way through the inking yesterday, so today when I sat down to finish it I was like 'ughhhh I am barely going to get a half-page done' but nope! Sudden super crankiness that for some reason is a good motivator for me. I dunno. Still not in a great mood, but it's getting so late I'd better call it a night anyway. Aghh.
Anyway, comic-relevant rants?? OH NO PLOT TWIST IT WAS SKYSH ALL ALONG. Hope you didn't read this post before the comic because boy howdy that was sure a doozy! Or... oh wait what's the opposite of plot twist? Plot obvious? I dunno. Something like that. Also obvious lazy backgrounds, hahaha... I don't get particularly gung-ho about doing them when it's a scene that's not moving, since I draw all the cells separately (post-it notes ftw) it is kind of hard to keep things the same. Should probably work more on that! Oh well.

Oh my time-consuming goodness! Random Encounter update! Phew... I am counting down the panels until I don't have to draw those stripes... BECAUSE I AM LAZY, HURR HURR. But I'm having way too much fun drawing outdoor scenes, especially after the last Random Encounter volume I digitally coloured was entirely indoors. GREENS EVERYWHERE, I LOVE IT. Actually, trying to shade the grass gives me the angry too, BUT APART FROM THAT.
Number of times I forgot one of Snatch's scars this page: Like at least 3.
Number of times I forgot Claw's neck tattoo: At least half the times I drew her neck. So, probably a billion times.
Ughhhh I can't believe the weekend is over already. Sucks. I dunno what sort of update schedule I will manage this week! I really want to just SLAM DOWN three Random Encounter updates a week, because then I'm like 'hurr if I can magically do that then I can do the season-holiday-specific volume I want to do this year without interrupting this volume' but then I am also like 'hurr there is not even close to enough time to get three pages done a week what is wrong with you'. So hmmm. We'll see how badly I flub it, I guess, and I'll go on from there! Always worth a shot, at least...
Saturday August 21
Huh... New Game has updated! On-time and all the rest! I'm like... constantly surprised that New Game takes so insanely less time to draw than Random Encounter. Which in retrospect is obvious, but I'm sure I'll have forgotten that next week. Anyway! I think it is clear what this volume is about now, isn't it? Collars. All of the main characters have gigantic collars, and even these shirtless guys? Collars. Very important, I assure you.
It's also probably becoming obvious that these 'bandits' are not particularly threatening.

Random Encounter update! Hoo ha! Markings are annoying to draw. YEAH THAT'S ALL I GOT.
