Excuse me, Princess!

Amelius on Sept. 8, 2007

Please excuse the quality on this one (or don't, your choice) but I used different paper (bigger paper that is) and the markers didn't quite take to it like they did with the printer paper. Also, I went gung-ho into this without realizing I didn't have the right colors for the job (namely, Azelea's skin tone, Ervain's and Fay's hair, and all my purples were the same!)
And I suppose I got an answer to yesterday's question…I have lost a lot of readers, much to my dismay. Not all of you have left me…and yeah I guess it is natural that readers come and go, but when I consider you guys friends, it kinda…well, I take it more personally, let's just say it like that. I'm not here just for attention, I'm here to share something with you, and I guess I feel like some people have walked away in the middle of a conversation. Don't get me wrong, I don't think my comic is so special that nobody could possibly grow weary of it! Heavens no! I am just…well, depressed about it is all. (let's not get into this too deep though)

I know things are going a little slow story-wise but I don't think that's the only problem and I'd like to remedy it. I can't promise a schedule for sure, but for now the Weekends are when you should expect to see CTV update, and if I have the time between the GN and Night School, then earlier in the week too. Thanks to everyone who has stayed with me though, without your support I don't think I would ever have improved like I have over the years. The best is yet to come and I hope whoever is reading now will still be reading later down the road when the big things I have planned for CTV are finally revealed. Thank you so much for your time!
And honestly, I didn't want my notes yesterday to seem like a pity-party, I honestly am nervous about people losing interest in this comic, and I've been spending the last few days a stressed-out wreck over it (not to mention also being depressed by the horrible way people treat each other on the internet lately)and I've also been very frustrated with my art still. It's not that I think it's crappy, I'm just seeing a lot of stuff that is far better around here and I'm getting impatient with myself to improve. I'm also really sick of this party! But it must go on…much has not been dealt with yet, and many important things are to come, and…really, it wouldn't be so bad if this were still daily. But then the art would suck like it did back then, too. Argh I really shouldn't type when I'm sore and tired like this! Smiles and hugs everybody!

*edit* Also to answer the question of what sort of markers I used,I have Prismacolors, 3 Copics and a few off-brands that were actually pretty decent. I had to use some watercolor and colored pencil on this page too however, since I did not have some of the right colors.
