Visual Diversions

I haven’t updated this with much lately. I’ve either been busy… or passed out from being too busy XD

The new background is a prelude to the slight site overhaul, where the adverts will be moved down to the comments section. They shouldn’t get in the way of reading now! This will also mean, hopefully, that I’ll have space to start introducing a new feature into the actual chapters – this will be a sidebar that will contain a recap of the previous chapter and a list of main characters appearing in the chapter. I’m hoping this’ll help provide a reference those who can’t remember all the names/faces! It’ll be like the opening sequence of a TV show, or the cast list you get at the front of a collected manga volume.

Now for some visual fun!

Here’s an unfinished page from the next chapter.

I’ll leave you to ponder what on earth’s going on there. And now for something pertaining to the next batch of chapters…

dante-copic-5

There’s going to be quite a few illustrated pages over the following weeks, starting with 4 this week. Next week’s section will probably be longer, but is something I’ve been visualising for ages now. I’d say it’ll be my most ambitious attempt at illustrating to date, but there’s #57 not too far away…

Oh, and if anyone was wondering: I do these traditional style for two reasons: firstly it doesn’t take nearly as much time, secondly it’ll be more efficient when it comes to publishing stuff in a book format.

September rolls around…

September 1, 2010

It won’t be long now before the story starts up again! Whether in weekly, or twice-weekly form I still don’t know. I’m waiting for a delivery on some Genuine Mangaka Brushes for doing the illustrated scenes with (the brush pen just wasn’t working out!), and there should be several of these coming up! Hopefully not [...]

What could have been…

August 29, 2010
I’ve spent a few days away, because I was called up to audition for Deal or No Deal. Seriously. Obviously I didn’t get through – they like old ladies, struggling everymen and pretty young girls wanting to get married, not an eccentric who, in the words of one woman there, “looks like Russel Brand” (I [...] 1 Comment »

Titania is a ditz

August 24, 2010

I’m enjoying writing about Titania so much, it looks like I’ll be getting several chapters out of her now! If you enjoyed the first two chapters, where it was all faeries and magical islands, you’ll be liking what’s coming up. It also contains a few references to events that will be covered in the expanded [...]

Why a hiatus is a good thing…

August 22, 2010

Here I am, keeping you up-to-date on recent Phantasia-based happenings! The break has proven to be a blessing, leading to some stuff I would’ve have written otherwise – mainly a chapter or two dedicated to Princess Titania in the form of some flashbacks, which will help clear up any confusion over why Awyr seems to [...]
