Don't forget you can always comment on the pages! Or ask me stuff-here's the formspring link. Ask me anything, really :) no account needed!
Ok so yeah this is 2 days late but I am back from vacation, have started summer work, and have gotten into the Percy Jackson series...I'm on the last book :D No spoiling it for me!
This page is exposistion and I'm sorry for that. I don't like exposition, I try to stay away from it. I much prefere for you to figure the world out as we go. I'll let you know up front next weeks page is another scenery montage of them going through the Eclipse Pass and up the mountain.
For the record anything Raaweh says in Aminosh is not important and is probably a swear or grumble or something. For instance here he is mumbling "For Sisters sake" before he tells Luphose to leave him alone.

The future is unclear now
Ok so time for a real blog. I haven't done one in a while.
I found out yesterday that the teacher I have been subbing for has changed her mind about extending her leave to December. Heaven only knows why but she waited till the last minute to decide to come back in August. I don't know her reasons and I don't care to be honest. I know she lost her son to brain cancer but call me heartless I don't care. We all lose loved ones and maybe my own loss has numbed me to them but again...I don't care.
I went from thinking I had until December to find other work to having less than two weeks to prepare my portfolio again and start emailing people. Also my parish just cut MORE jobs. So there is even less than there was a year ago.
I am basically back where I was a year ago. I have been told by my old job that I could resume it and that probably means if I don't have anything by August I might be doing it all again. Subbing in the morning and Extended Day in the evening.
The biggest downside to all of this is that particular schedule leaves me nothing. I might not have any time for updating the comic. I decided to restart it because I found myself with a steady schedule which made setting aside comic time simple. That is being taken away from me.
I'm very worn out and exhausted today. I spent most of yesterday crying. Thank goodness I had barely any classes yesterday due to tests.
So the biggest question is what do I do now? I have the rest of the month to get through then I have vacation booked the first week of June. Thankfully it's already paid for in full, even the food. I am at a loss to be honest...I don't even know what else I can say.

Scenery Speedpaint
So I am still working on the style direction of this comic and before you remark YES it is VERY different from the first part. I knew when I wrote this that it was going to be a scenery heavy story, which is part of my pushing myself. I dislike drawing backgrounds and scenery so I gave myself a story that NEEDS them. This is causing work issues but then when working on the last panel of page 8 I really liked the speedpaint style look of it. I WANT the backgrounds and scenery scenes to look painterly so why was I fighting it? Today I embraced it. And I like it. I hope you do too.
Ps Oh No! What's that sneaking up on them?!
New character is coming up very soon btw.

hmmm
04-4-2011: hmmmm 
OK I Hated to do this so soon but I have good reason. I just finished that commission that was kicking my butt! But in order to do so I had to stop working on EVERYTHING ELSE all weekend. Also there has been a HUGE fundraiser for Japan at my school, we did a project called $1000 for 1000 cranes. We folded over 1000 origami cranes and raised $1035.16 for Japan! So that has been taking much of my time as Art Teacher and part time crane wrangler. Updates resume Monday, check the neato thing I've been working on in the mean time.

Alittle something about the update schedule
Here's a non front page blog.
I understand not everyone has facebook and twitter so I am going to make an effort to post things like the art that I put on the fb here as well.
I was just looking over a calendar and at the current rate of release and chapter 1, which is 25 pages (all chapters are), will conclude on August 1st. Now I am ok with this, it will take a while to get through but I am fine with that production rate especially while I have work. Please keep in mind what I am about to state is NOT decided, NOT set in stone, and has a possibility of NOT happening. While maintaining the current update schedule through the conclusion of chapter 1 I would like to, at some point, be producing more pages per week. Right now I am working on a commission comic so I am already kind of producing two pages a week but because of this as you have seen sometimes it is a mad dash to get avernyght up on time so I couldn't possibly increase production until that project is finished. That being said what my tentative plan is is while through the end of chapter 1 the update schedule would not change I would try and produce 2 pages a week. The best time for this production would be the summer as since I am a teacher I have summer break (I might work an art camp if I feel like it but I am sorely tempted to just take the full 2 months off). If I could accomplish this to a fair degree then starting with Chapter 2 I could attempt a biweekly schedule rather than once a week. My main goal is for Whisp's Journey, which is in truth a 4 chapter story, to not take me 4 years to complete. I have too many Avernyght stories and the longer I take telling one the more others come to me.
