Little Emily! Originally she was even more tomboyish with super short
hair, but the girlfriend suggested that it be a bit longer. So now it
is!

RedCast15: Once this whole super-slow story arc is over, I'm definitely gonna try to do black and white like this. With backgrounds of course. This scene is just devoid of a background haha. Its like purgatory.
ghostrunner: THATS A GENIUS IDEA!!! :O I might haveta do that!
Deonis: Uh oh! Don't rage over cuteness!
xaxelx: T-thank you ;_;
Untaken: Yeah definitely. Other scenes would need backgrounds for sure.
giovanni: Thats ok!
Bluesox: Well, thanks for putting up with the slowness, heh heh

one year without updates is not has bad as no updates since the site's revamp

It saddens me to see this comic unupdated for so long, this was one of my favourite comics to read but it seems the artist is having problems or has been to busy to work. An update on how you are doing would be nice knowing your state of mind. I hope to see your work back up and running soon.

You are still one of the few that still here... I wish the fix the page view system faster than they are currently moving... Plus I guess it helps if I start my series back up too!

I guess this is why Eric got his ass kicked too.

Also, if you ended up working in black and white I really wouldn't mind, as it doesnt affect the story or characters for me :) It really depends on what you want to do and what gives you less stress in the end. Half the comics I read and enjoy are in b+w, and are often just as atmospheric as the full colour ones. For me its down to time and how often I want to update. I do b+w because my current story is the kind that needs to keep ppl on their toes, therefore update quickly.

do this (I cant remember unless I go back and have a look haha!). Like when something dramatic happens, you could just have the panel background be a nice emphasisizing cream colour rather then the normal background. Also, an art-monkey may be able to help, but you'd have to spend some time going into the jungle to look for it...

hehe XD Hmm...suggestions to make things quicker. First of all, in my experience, making smaller panels really doesnt make things any quicker- if anything its more work because you end up having more panels to colour in. I've definitely found when colouring other peoples comic for work, more panels = more time. What kind of colouring process do you use? Something super obvious that I never thought of until a few months ago (sorry if you already do it haha), which really helped, was making the lineart the multiply layer and making the colours normal type layers. This meant that when I colour backgrounds I can just put the background layer underneath the foreground characters, and so not have to be careful about going over the foreground colours like I do if the colour layers are on multiply. (I used to have the lineart be normal and all colour layers be on multiply, silly me). Also, you could take a few shortcuts every now and then on the background front, although you probably already
