My tablet just died. Dead....
Well...it's more like a zombie right now where occasionally it turns on but only for about 5 seconds and when it IS on does nothing.
I really can't afford a new one right now...not that I know of anyway. I was shading page 68 (70 pages in all for those not counting) could barely get anything from it. I can try to finish these pages without it but there is NO way to do the next story without a tablet, it was supposed to be very painted in style.
I don't know what to do....I will keep you all posted.

Nearly a MONTH!
My laptop has been chugging like a college freshman....that is to say, alot. It is SO hard to get anything worthwhile done! I have been working EVERY DAY on these pages to get them up! PLEASE DO NOT THINK I AM FLAKING!!!!
A bit of frustration, I was so please about the concept species I had created based on my brother but it turns out apparently they are EXACTLY like a type found in WoW...which could not have influenced me, I have never played it. Fudge, back to the drawing board.
Writing more scripts currently...ho hum. Such to be done.

When I finished junkRIOT I was nervous. It had gotten alot of notice at the end and I was very worried how the reconciliation of the story would work. Most of the comics I read never reach conclusions or stop being updated before they can. More often then not, to me, When comics end, if they do not end well enough, people are dissatisfied or have a want of further closure.
At the time I had every intention of returning to the universe and telling more of the story as Chris and everyone went their ways to college. As he and Alice went to Texas, the end of their relationship, the development of Lina's recovery. But as much as I love them and their stories I just cannot find the motivation to return to them. I don't even entertain the thought of redrawing it better. No that chapter is closed. Though I have thought about doing another comic about death since recently I have experienced just what part of junkRIOT was about, coping with the unexpected early death of a loved one.
No junkRIOT is finished. And though I felt alot of apprehension while working on those last few pages, fretting over the wording and contexts, I am pleased with how I ended it.
And even today, reading now what I wrote for Chris back then as the last page I know that what I wrote is true, having now experienced it myself.
And as I ink the last two pages of the first story of avernyght I feel apprehensive. I feel nervous. I feel inadequate. But I do know this isn't the end, it's only the beginning, from here on the world is going to explode out before the audience. Basics are laid, the universe explained. Nothing is truly foreign now. I used to be worried about the style of inking that the comic took. Wobbly unstraight uneveness, but now i know that it fits the world, it fits the comic. I am pleased, and I hope the viewers are too.

First things First
This is going to be a place to mirror a thread in the forum for updates about The Chronicles of Avernyght.
Here are some former posts:
Nothing too exciting to report. The last 5 pages(I keep counting wrong I apologize) are being inked right now and the only reason I can give for them taking so long is A There are alot of backgrounds that need information which I usually don't do, and B while getting the comic out quickly is nice and all I have learned the very obvious lesson recently that something might take a long time to do, but it's best for the piece, and once it's done you'll be glad you did. So since this is the end of the beginning of Avernyght I want to make sure it's done right. I cannot promise fast updates for the sequel story but I can promise good ones. And at least the intermission of sorts will be punctual as it's completed already.

And just to recap my personal situation:
In February one of my brothers was murdered. In addition to being a trying and painful experience it threw my school situation out of whack so to catch up I stopped working on the comic but now my spirits are restored and I will be finishing the first story soon.

| Well now that the worst semester ever is officially over I have made the decision to try to return to normal life. And with that comes the announcement of finishing the comic. Updates return Friday and once this story finishes the next story will run uninterrupted while I work on the sequel to poppett's story |
