Just a random ramble.

So, a few things.
Thank you everyone who was kind enough to give me advice on the proper address of a cardinal. As a pseudo thank you, here's a few hints for what chapter threes week of colour pages is going to be about:
1. Good vs. Evil
2. Brothers
3. The letter "R"

Also, Yitsana in panel two of Mondays comic? Yea. Lack of shading intentional. I did not get lazy. All that white was supposed to represent "SHOCK!" but sometimes I think little touches like that go right over peoples heads. (Seriously, there were three massive hints that Yitsana wasn't an angel well before Lit figured it out.)

In other news, I was a very bad girl this week. I had a massive case of writers block, and I got sidetracked by pretty colours as I worked on a fairy tale, of sorts; called The Curse of Windre. I WAS supposed to work on fanart for certain people, and finish up the second secret Santa stuff.
No, it's not up in the fanart section, so don't bother looking. I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. It's really nice. Am I allowed to say that? It's filled with colours, and a decent amount of REAL back grounds! And blood, and insanity. We like those. >.< I'm writing this way to late at night, or early in the morning, which ever you prefer.

So the question becomes what the heck do I do? ...... I think this ramble is so much better suited for my personal LJ rather then the DitLoaC news journal......
Meh, it's all comic stuff.
I'm actually thinking of taking it and getting it printed and offering it up to anyone who wants to get a copy.
It's a short story, only 19 pages long. Full colour, and it's a complete narrative story (in which other then the three pages with the narrator on them, there's no speech bubbles.) about a princess who eventually finds that love is the key to real freedom.
That and it does a fantastic job of showcasing just how little I think of princes. (kinda along the lines of the prince from "Enchanted", truly useless creatures.)

And I thought I'd just add this in, since I found it highly amusing at the time (considering it was probably three in the morning, everything was amusing.) I had to put in a sunset on one page. Easy, gradiant some orange and redish-pink, put in some fades of yellow, a spot of red, bleed it through the trees, done.
Next page I had to do a sunrise. I was stuck there for five minutes trying to think of what on Earth a sun rise looked like. I had been so long since I'd been awake to see one, I just thought it was funny. You all likely think I'm crazy. *grins* Okay, I be quiet now.

I hate to say it....

I hate to say it, since it breaks my image of trying to be modest.
But I really like how Wednesdays comic came out (posting this a bit early, so I don't forget.) I mean, I really didn't have to do any tweaking to it. The abscense of colour in most of the page is intentional, mainly because I thought colouring in Litalra would detract from the image.
For the first time, I feel as if I managed to draw a page that holds true to the manga look I'm trying to get. I really do love this page.

On another note: Does anyone know another name Cardinals in the clergy go by? You know how Kings/Quenns will also be called "You highness" or the Pope "His Holiness" Do Cardinals have that as well, or is it always just "Cardinal Bob" ? Just asking. Anyone who can clear this up for me, you get a hug.

Update to the archives....

Following in the trend of re-uploading comics that were taken off the site initally, I've returned the week of colour pages to the archive, the ones that followed after chapter one finished.
Now all those new to the comic can read them, and be just as flustered as all the rest of us were.

I really like how the colours for Chapter Three's end came out. Makes me wish January would hurry up and get here so I could get everyone elses opinion of them.

Just FYI:

I've re-installed the two RYAN comics to the misc art section, so we're all one happy same-artist family again. If you haven't read them yet, you should. They're amusing, if I do say so myself, and FULL COLOUR! YAAAY! Also for some wonky reason I never uploaded issue two to the seperate site. Oh well.
Oh, and Happy Mass-Turkycide Holiday!

Date confirmed

Updates will start back up again, in the traditional three days a week fashion, on October 29th. There will be no All Hallows Eve page, so the 31st will be the first new comic. Since the 29th will be the chapter three cover page that was accidentally uploaded as opposed to the fifth colour page. Oops. So set your calander! DitLoaC is coming back! And now I'm going to bed since I just did 13 pages over the course of four days. My hands hurt, and my eyes are fuzzy.
Also the character bio section should be updated, and cleaned up before Monday, with new pictures!

It's coming....

AN END TO THE HIATUS!
No, seriously. This time I'm serious.
I'll be returning to the original three-days a week update schedule by the first week of November. I would love to get it started by the end of October, but I want to get a nice healthy buffer set up whilest I still can.
All of those who wished to be notified, I will do my best to fulfill your request, even though I'm a little unsure ow to go about snagging email addresses from the blog comments.
It's because of all of you guys that it came back. Thank you reading, and not wanting it to end. I love exach and everyone one of my readers, you're all very special. Thank you.

So you may have noticed

What the hell is that comic doing on DitLoaC would likely be your first question, followed quickly by why does that look so familiar.
Well, I'll get to the first in a moment, it might look familiar because I blatantly swiped the CAD (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) layout. Why? It's a good layout, it's simple, but pretty, and suits DitLoaCs next phase.
Now, with that said, what is it doing up on DitLoaC? I don't, at present, have the time to work on DitLoaC as I have. Which is to say, I can't draw the pages, then tweak them on the computer. It's very time consuming when you have studying and a job both competeing for your time. However, I love comics and I find that my life is rather colourless if I'm not at least working on a comic of some sorts. Which is why I'll be using this layout for a bit. I promise in some form or other I WILL finish the original DitLoaC comic.
But as it stands I can't work on it and get the updates done on time, so the hiatus on the original DitLoaC is still on, in the mean time, please look foreward to meeting Jack (the girl with the sign), Leena (a blonde with a pet duck), and Kira (a goth who wants to kill everyone who has a cape-wearing hamster). No gurantees when this stage will officially start, I've still got alot of prep work to do, but be assured I will give you something weird to look at occassionally. In the mean time: Anyone who can tell me what this comic is based off of gets points (hint: There ARE two answers, either one is acceptable.)
Right, that's all for now........ man I REALLY should get rid of that other shoutbox on the comments page, shouldn't I?
