Well, it's not as though he shouldn't have known better. This was done of course with markers, and the backgrounds took for-ever, especially the last panel, but it was surprisingly faster than when I do the coloring on the computer.
Thanks for all that visited Night School,, which has by the way updated today since I finished both pages. Once again, that comic doing well (hopefully because it's good, of course)will determine if CTV ever gets published, so help us out and give it a little attention? It would help boost CTV's update schedule too, because I'd be honestly more enthusiastic about the both of them. Not trying to make ya feel guilty or anything but I do see some complaining about me taking forever to update CTV, while Night School is updating more frequently in between CTV updates. It's not as though I'm sitting around having fun with video games when I should be updating…no, ‘cuz I’m working on comics! NS is the one getting published, and I have deadlines to meet, so sadly updating CTV quickly isn't the top priority. I'm working on 3 comics and the fourth, UIU, is sadly on hiatus for now. If I didn't love CTV so much it'd be on hiatus too while I try to get things done. Just bear with me while I try to work this out. I'm not burning out on comics, it's just that I'm under a lot of pressure right now, and taking a break isn't the right answer for me.
Also, before I go I want to say something important that has been…well, on my mind a bit. I just want you to know that your comments DO matter and I read every single one, and yes, I do notice when people haven't been around in a long time, and I guess I'm feeling a little melancholy at the absence of some old faces around here. Not to say that I don't love new commenters, ‘cuz you guys rock too! I just want you all to know that no matter how many people are here, it doesn’t diminish the impact or importance that your individual voice contributes to this comic. I would not have improved so much if not for helpful guidance. And I am proud that you guys have never made constructive comments feel unwelcome, and I hope that it continues this way. (Elsewhere I've seen too many people offering good advice only to have the author, and its fans, come down on them like rabid…boulders? For having an opinion that wasn't “kiss the artist's butt for he/she is perfect!”) I'm sure some people are thinking “you're nuts, you've got enough comments already!” but it's not a quantity issue…I'd just like to know who's there, and who's STILL there after all these years.
I guess what I'm trying to say to those I haven't seen in a while…. I MISS YOUSE! (and don't think I don't know when you're gone!) What I really need is to get in contact with everyone again. Sadly, dial-up does NOT help. Really, I notice this slump is due to me rarely having time to even read comics that I love, let alone new ones with large archives. Hopefully I'll be getting a faster internet soon. Hopefully…expect to see me around DD a lot more then. It seriously takes like 3 minutes to even look at a single page these days.
I'm really afraid of people growing bored of me, though…
Amazing!! I could NEVER do anything this good! Night School is an amazing comic, too. Keep up the good work, and always remember we, your loyal fans, are all here for you!
i relly hop you get the job. but don't over extert yourself. if i find out you are stressing yourself out to much then i am going to came over there and tie you to a (comfy) chiar till you mello out! we can wait a day or 2 for you work, the best things are wouth waiting for.(why else to they put the best stuff on saterday). well peace out keep on being the best ^-^. with out killing yourself -_-.
^_^ aww amy. my and my brother (user:Imtohot) still support you. and I never could get bored of you and nick too. ^_^ if my brother didn't show me charby. I wouldn't have met some very interesting people. and I do miss you too, hopefully I'll be able to keep with the updates being my last year of high school. ^_^
ãÂÅãââã° ãâ¢ãÆÅ¸!!!
(ganbate ami!!!- Keep at it Amy!!!)
sorry the reason i've been gone is cause if been rereading it and trying to make it stack up but when there was a update tonight i couldn't resist !!! i love your commic. no pressure ok, i can wait
wow. Markers! THat is amazing! You probably hear this everywhere, but another time cant hurt, you are incredibally talented, and your work ia beautiful! I am happy tp be privilaged to read your comics!
If only you knew how many nights I stayed up until 2, 3, even almost 4 in the morning at one point to catch up with your story!!! All of your characters are charming and engaging in their own way. Fun fun read!!! :D
Dang Amy, don't take this the wrong way because I love your CGing, but I love your marker work wayyyy more than the usual pc-coloring. Although CGing does have a few particular advantages...like not having to buy new markers when one dies XP
I have been reading your comic for quite some time, however this is the first time I have commented.
I would like to say how much I adore your comic. The story is quite wonderful. The art is equally amazing. Your attention to detail, and the continuity amongst those details is very impressive.
As displayed in this page (and many others), your ability to move from one medium to another (computer to marker and such) displays your high level as an artist. I have seen very few artists who can use multiple mediums and have the result to be so very much alike.
Yet despite your immense talent and popularity, you have never once forgotten your fans. You actually listen to their critiques and act upon them without any negativity. This humble (and often overly modest) attitude is what sets you apart from many artists I have come across.
I would like to thank you for continuing this comic despite tribulations in your life, it is something I always look forward to reading. If you do decide to publish Charby, I am certain it would sell well, I know I would buy a copy. Once again, thank you for all your hard work.
I don't even know how long ago it was when I started reading this comic (^_^) I remember the first page I saw was when Charby was sucking up to the human girl who had just been attacked by a vampire, and Vic was aghast. How long ago was that?
Anyway, I kinda like this better than photoshopp'd pages! It has a nice feel. I don't know how you do it!! I'm so jealous! :P
Hahaha, awesome page! Foomy should know better than to make fun of Menu. XP
And Amy? How could we ever get bored of you? Don't make us have to bean some sense into you. =D
WE LOVE YOU! I've been reading night school as well and I must say I love all the cute characters. by the way, what is that thing mannik is standing behind?
Wow! your marker work is awesome! Poor Menu! It was just his luck that it was Foomy he went over to. Menu is gonna flip! Don't worry Amy! How could anyone get board with you?
Night School is awesome by the way!
Your art is beautiful. I couldn't love it more. I would kill to be able to draw like you.
I hope I'm not one of the people who hasn't been commenting. I check back here every day because I love it so much and don't want to miss a single update. I just don't comment so much any more. But I'm still here. And I could never get bored of this comic. It's amazing.
The people you miss hopefully still read CTV, even if they don't comment. I know I'm not one that you'd miss because I don't comment every page, but I do read them all. Excellent page btw.

You have an incredible talent with markers, how is it that you manage never to overlap strokes of marker? It baffles me and I'd like to know how =/

Poor Amy-chan.-pats back- Just sit down, take a deep breath, an chillax. Everything will be okay.
okuni76 at 3:06PM, Aug. 31, 2007
I like the markers better than the CG, even though the background isn't as detailed. Very nice!! :)

I love this style too, it reminds me a bit of the stuff I used to read when I was at my grandma's as a kid. And the last panel just kicks ass.
Jimeth at 1:53PM, Aug. 31, 2007
I love this colouring style so much. If it's quicker than computer then by all means do them all like this.
