Abdominal Whale Tattoos

July 1st, 2010

Once again, this week’s chapter is coming out on Friday. I’m starting to get into the swing of things again, and I’m hoping I’ll start a faster schedule before the end of August. You’ll hate me if I don’t, due to all the drama and cliffhanger action coming up…

I’ve also decided I’m going to make an attempt to post more background information. It’ll give me the push I need to start putting the online database together. It will be quite the work. Enough to fill a book of its own o_O

Anyways, here’s this week’s art:

#65: What the Faeries Saw

June 25th, 2010

And so we flash back to Phantasia and Faye’s own observations of Adonis and his charismatic antics. What did they see while he had the town swaying along to his music? And what’s with that music in the first place? Questions start to be answered…READ ON!

Pastel Auras

June 24th, 2010

Chapter tomorrow (Friday). Got halfway through and decided to change the viewpoint from Phantasia to Faye for variety’s sake. Still not sure where it will end, either! In the meantime I experimented with the art for this chapter: wanting to depict auras, I decided to go with pastels…

Katrina still has more questions than answers regarding her mysterious new teacher, Mr Adonis, but those might have to wait as a certain unpredictable faerie with white hair has decided to confront the dance instructor herself. Will Phantasia be able to expose Adonis in front of the whole Academy? READ ON!

Return from the Breach

June 15th, 2010

Okay, I’m back from my little holiday now, so hopefully I can start getting things back on schedule! I’ve a lot to catch up on – expect new chapters to continue to be weekly for the time being, but console yourselves with the understanding that Phantasia is almost the length of Lord of the Rings now – an achievement I’ve had a tendency to brush aside to focus on what I haven’t done.

In lieu of me not having a ‘proper blog’ yet, I thought I might give a small insight into just what my ‘holiday’ involved. Here’s some custom festival flags, modelled by the reclusive Dr Goat, which we put together the night before. Because we’re either horribly unorganized, or fantastically awesome:

Dr Goat's T-Rex In a Tank!

Our tribute to Ronnie James Dio!

No, really, NEVER trust a goth in a long black coat!

Okay, not a flag... Dick Van Dyke had much fun on an improv zip-line.

And in case you’re wondering just what all this camping malarkey was about, I think the following image sums it all up rather well:

He played Paradise City, you know?!

So there we have it. That’s what I get up to when I’m not stressing away over faeries and the post-post-apocalypse!

The Power of Audiomancy! A music lesson with Ms Shimomura proves more revealing than anyone could have expected as the mysterious powers of Adonis are further cast into question. How far has his contamination gone? READ ON!

Musical Interludes

June 3rd, 2010

Chapter 63 will be released tomorrow (Friday). I’ll be at a music festival for much of next week, but I ought to still have #64 up sometime. Apologies, as always, for the general lack of content updates aside from the main story but here’s the artwork from the next couple of chapters to make up for it!

Desktop Wallpapers!

May 28th, 2010

After several suggestions/requests, I’ve created some desktop wallpapers, which you can find here.

More will follow!

Even the teachers at Torsten Academy are enchanted by the mysterious Adonis – but Katrina isn’t the only one suspicious of her newest teacher, but a revelation about his abilities will change her perceptions about more than just his questionable shenanigans…READ ON!

Nigel Tufnel

May 25th, 2010

Well it hasn’t been much of a break, and little has changed, but at least I’m back on my feet a little now! I’ll have the next chapter ready for Thursday, and will continue with the old weekly schedule for a few more weeks. Everything up to #80 is now plotted out in detail, and as previously mentioned I’ve turned things up to 11 compared to the previous draft (this arc is about the length of a novel now – the original version was only 8 chapters long XD).

Next chapter will also feature the official announcement of the character popularity contest! Okay, so it’s probably not too hard to find the results on the site, BUT STILL – these come with a lovely piece of art and everything!

Meanwhile, I thought of having a little bit of procrastinatory fun with that accursed Formspring.me bollocks. Here it is, so go ahead and ask stuff! Just know I won’t be giving away any spoilers (but I may drop vague hints and stuff D:)
