Whew. And its another page closer to PLOT. There’s actually some in this page. I LOVE Raif in the bottom left panel putting his swords away. And look who’s back. Its Rowan, his mind ever on food. Completely doesn’t care he just raided someone else’s kitchen for it.

And now, in other news. I do another comic called “Shifters Redux“, you may have heard about it. It is with great pleasure I can now say that it is updating again. It started on  June 6th, and with some special help from Mad Cheshire, It will hopefully be a weekly update. I’m TRYING to get set up with a colorist on this comic too, but with getting Shifters set up, AND getting the book put together in time for the various events I’ll be at, like Minicomi, Cos & Effect, and Vcon, its been a bit troublesome. But I’m trying.

Don’t forget that Brymstone has a facebook page you should like (if you haven’t already), and now so does Shifters. Also follow me on twitter for updates and so forth.

Annnd we finally have a page! Honestly I do work on these as often as I can, although I’ve been experiencing some technical and biological fail. But if you want to spy on me as I work, I’ve been doing Livestreams for Brymstone every Wednesday at 9pm PST. Come and join if you want to spy on my progress. Speaking of progress, there is now a progress bar to help keep you appraised of where I’m at for the next page. Hopefully I’ll figure out a better way to flat that’s faster and doesn’t rely on my failing mouse.

ALSO, I’m talking with a printer about the graphic novel in terms of quantities, and I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in pre-orders. The book would be bout 120 pages, perfect bound, glossy cover, full colour cover and insides. I’m not sure the price yet, but if you are interested, would you consider pre-ordering? If I sweetened the deal with some extra Brymstone swag such as buttons or bookmarks, or perhaps a citizenship card to the Kingdom of Hakkred? I still haven’t decided on all my extras yet, but there will be sketches, possibly some extra pages that aren’t online. If you have any extras you like to see in a graphic novel, please leave a comment!

You know, I think I need to write this stuff in advance, because inevitably when I finish the comic at like 1am, I’m all like DURRRR when I go to write these things. There’s always stuff I wanna ask you guys during the week and then when I get to the point where I actually post the comic, its like everything falls out of my head. So you get 1 am hallucination rambles. Hooray.

I think I remember a few things I wanted to say through the hazy fog of OMG-I-am-so-tired. One is to point out that, in case you didn’t know, Brymstone has a facebook page and you should like it if you haven’t already. Secondly I thought I’d get your guys thoughts on the forum. No one has used it for a while (granted it was broken for a bit there) But its fixed now! I’m even working on an roleplaying area in the forums. If you are into that, input is welcome. Are like forums totally out of style or something and is that why no one uses them? And speaking of style, what exactly is the point of Tumblr? Oh yes, and forumspring. I have a forumspring account, no one ever asks me anything on it, so its all empty and lonely and pathetic. Why do I have this again? Social media is so hard to keep up on. Although I do twitter a fair amount. Follow me for updates and notifications of livestreams of me drawing! I only really put notes on twitter or on my Deviantart account. Lastly, if you haven’t voted in the poll, please do.

I’m going to bed now. Enjoy.

Yes, I know its been a ridiculously long time since I updated. I am aware of this. I’m trying to remedy this, its just.. well been equally ridiculously difficult to work on this. I’m not sure how to make it easier, I’m going to be going to see the doctor about doing something about my wrists (I suffer from pretty severe carpal tunnel at times), and its been quite bad recently. But I’m looking into doing what I can. After work my wrists have just been too messed up to work for any more than a few hours here and there on anything needing fine motor skills of my hands or clutching a mouse. I have tried to get people to help, but they have their own lives, and doing things for free.. well lets just say things haven’t been particularly timely. And since I can’t pay for any help, well I’m just going to have to struggle through it as best I can. The worst is the coloring, I could post pages ontime if they were just black and white… but then they would suck comparatively. Its hard to find a balance between quality and timeliness.

Anyway, If you want to see me work on this and ask me stuff, you can tune into my ustream cast which is Thursday nights at 8pm PST ( I know that’s late for you eastern folks, but I can’t do it any earlier…). If you just want to ask me random stuff, I recently got a formspring account, where random questions are the order of the day.

There is also a facebook group for Brymstone, and my Deviant art account where I post stuff like Ustream reminders and such if you have a DA account and want to watch me.

There’s also a new piece of fan art in the gallery here from Carl Davis of Infinity Komix. Not much at his site yet, but I’m sure it will get there. Thanks Carl!
