OKAY EVERYONE!!
UNFUN ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!! DRAGON TUTOR IS ON HIATUS BECAUSE TAPAS IS PULLING SCREWY STUFF!!
I'm not a person who complains about every little thing that Tapastic changes on the site. I like change. Its fun.
WHAT I DO NOT LIKE IS A CHANGE THAT SAYS I HAVE TO SURRENDER MY CREATIVE CONTROL OF MY OWN COMIC TO TAPASTIC!
A new clause in their user agreement says I cannot make any merchandise, delete my comic or move anywhere without their permission and 30 days for them to even respond.
I am TICKED OFF
Here's my tweet about it https://twitter.com/MarMai1/status/865295283831361536
I AM NOT HAPPY GUYS!! I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE TAPASTIC BUT I MAY HAVE TO. I am NOT going to beg permission to use my own characters, what the ever living FROG is that? HAH!
I have my own reasons for not believing ANYTHING that comes from Tapastic. They are a business and they are very capable of CREATING ALTERNATIVE FACTS!!
If the clause does not disappear I may have to go to Webtoons full time.
I AM SO SORRY EVERYONE!! THIS SUCKS!!

Hey all! This was written by the content director of Hiveworks. I think we should all read it.

Thanks for sharing that, a really good 'summit' - if I could say it that way - of the last action of tapas(tic) staff.
No problem. I'm still blown away by everything that has happened. There are a LOT of artists who are just jumping ship and I do not blame them one bit.
It is quite sobering to see the Hiveworks artists removing their side comics on the advice of their lawyers.
Tapas needs to do some serious reassuring soon or they're going to be a wasteland.
I'd like to thank everyone AGAIN for the amazing conversation here. It helps a lot to see all your thoughts.
Hugs you all

But anyway, not the first time such a ruckus happend... and it seems to me that the staff members didn't learn much from the last incedents (can't remember what happend, had no comic and didn't care)... its - in my eyes - only a matter of time...

Nooo D:
It's sad you're leaving Ç_Ç
But I'll follow you on Webtoon!
Actually I started to post there too.
But I don't trust Tapas neither Webtoon that much. Even Google/Blogger where I've created a website for my comic.
Unfortunatly It's hard to trust any company...
But I'll continue to post in those places, at least for now.
Hope everything go well! Best of luck for us!

HI EVERYBODY!!
So holy cow its been nearly three weeks since I posted. I know I said I was going to take a two week hiatus but you're probably wondering where I've been! (AND NO IT WASN'T PLAYING BREATH OF THE WILD FOR THREE WEEKS STRAIGHT I SWEAR!! **I can't find how to upgrade my house, plz help me**)
ANYWAY!! The truth is, I have been coloring and lining the Peregrin Prologue for five months straight with barely a break and I guess I got kind of run down a bit and my brain decided we needed a break from it (allergies are killing me too, my poor head is just swimming all the time. Send cookies).
So how does my brain decide we take a break? By having me draw up a extra side comics that I'll be showing off soon as an INTERMISSION in the Dragon Tutor, and these are to show exactly how the elves feel about the past, the war and Peregrin. It's all super important and stuff that I decided to bring up now because my brain hates me XD
For a short run (a few weeks) I'll be putting these up. They're going to explain some new stuff and it'll be a nice break for me and rejuvenate my coloring brain back to normal. I promise, you'll find them interesting too.
AS A SNEAK PEAK.... here is Europa's mother, Queen Artemisia.
Yup. Get ready for some interesting backstory guys... it's time. IN THE INTERMISSION!!

But also I really wanna see this comic. So a little stress is okay. But WELCOME BACK MAR!
@Mar Mai, They should be right beside your house under the tree right to your house sitting at a campfire. See http://www.ign.com/wikis/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/How_to_Buy_a_House for more details on the quest. ^-^
Here is a small personal wind which was trained to always blow seeds and allergens away from its owner: <*pfhhhhhh*> Hope it doesn't get too exhausted from travelling over the Atlantic!
And of course the hayfiever song par excellence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkJqH2OAgbk

I wish I could actually send you cookies, because I totally would. But for your house, just talk to Mr. Fabulous. (That's what I call him, his name is Bolson.) He's sitting next to the cooking pot next to your house during the day.
Aaaah! I'm so excited! Can't wait; but don't overwork yourself! Much love! Aaaah!
Anyone else playing Zelda Breath of the Wild?
ITS SUPER GOOD GUYS!! AHHHHHH!!

You're welcome Mar Mar! ^^ -huggles- BTW :D Did you know that if you give doggies lots of meat they'll possibly lead you to burried treasure that you can dig out with your magnet power?
AH!! I didn't know that!! I've tried feeding them but it didn't seem to work! Or at least, they weren't interested very much XD
Do you leave the meat next to them and wait? And thank you SO much for all these tips and recipes and everything!! Its so much fun to share the experience with you!! <3 <3 <3

No problem :D -huggles- Anytime.
Gah! I'm so excited for you! How far are you by the way? (Like how many shrines, koroks, beasts, towers, etc.)
I've been playing it like crazy xD (on the wii u too ;>) and I just now noticed how long time ago this post was :)))))
THE FIRST SET OF TIPPING ICON'S IS UP!!
I know I put this up as an actual EPISODE on Dragon Tutor but I really wanted to just throw it up here as well XD
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS TIPPED ME!! You have no idea how much it helps!! I am saving up for a much needed new computer and the tips have made it so I can start buying components already! You guys, you are amazing and I love you <3 <3 <3
I foresee drawing a lot of icons you guys <3

It's good have you back and not sick.
Ah, I must buy a new computer as well because my laptop has one foot in the grave already, but I do not know what specifications makes a good computer for art. What are you aiming for? Cute portraits btw. Truly a sweet reward.
So cute! It's just simply too cute!
Snow: Thank you so much!! I am feeling so much better then I was it's unbelievable. It's so nice to be better!! Hugs!!
Illu: OH MAN! I feel sooooo dumb about it XD My brother has been helping me figure out exactly what I need because this is the first time I'm going to build my own computer from scratch. The main thing I need is processing power. I've been working on my sweet little Mac Mini but it's really struggling and recently it's begun to do weird things and I know, I absolutely know, that it's dying :(
It takes a good few minutes to save a psd file and it will glitch sometimes and just refuse to open up some of my files. A few times it has froze right when I was saving and I've lost a lot of work (one of the panels that just came out... I had to redraw Peregrin's face almost six times because it wouldn't save!!). So, the writing is on the wall.... it's time to put her out to pasture and use her as an email machine XD
So what I'm looking for is something fast with a lot of power that can easily save my psd files without making me wait three minutes. SO I've been saving up and I'm going to buy an expensive processor and GPU and the rest of the components will be cheaper/inexpensive. I'm buying them one at a time as soon as I can afford them and I finally have just enough to get the processor (THANK YOU MY TIPPERS!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW AWESOME YOU ARE!! And my patrons!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! YAYA!! HUGS YOU!!). There's a new one that's coming out on the 2nd from AMD and I'm going to snatch it! XD
After I've got that I'll keep saving and getting the parts I need as soon as I can but I'm thinking it will be late summer/early fall before I can put the thing together. RAM, hard drive, GPU, an OS.... all that good stuff. My little Mac Mini tells me she can hold out until I don't need her anymore (sniffle of love).

Ichigo!! Thank you so much!! I LOVE drawing icons!! People ask for awesome things (mostly dragons this time!!!! I LOVE IT!!) and its an awesome break from comic coloring!! So YAYA!! HUGS!
Hey guys. I just wanted to update you all and let you know there won't be an update this week and I'm going to be a little late on the Tipping Icons!
I've got a bad bug. Really bad pain AND I fainted last night! Like a real black out faint! Holy cow! My mom is a Super Nurse and she is taking care of me and I'm going to be just fine but I need to take a little time off and get over this bug! I'm just super tired and weak feeling. Gotta sleep... and eat... my two favorite activities XD
I'll come back with vengeance! Awesomeness! And Tipping icons!! YAYA!!

Yeah! He says I have a viral infection in my sinuses (so no antibiotics to help me) but I have to see a specialist which will be next month. I'm more then probably fine but it's good to make sure. I'm nervous about it but doctors always make me nervous XD Thank you for checking up on me <3 <3 <3
Question! Is everyone as nervous as me about doctors?? It's not just me, right? XD

i try to "not see a docter" as much as i can,..
but thats more because of financial reasons.
the only think i`m not very happy about is when they have to give you injections,..
but thats more because some of them realy dont know how to do it without realy hurting you.
belive me, it cam make a lot of differents depending on how they stick the needle in, and how fast they inject the "what ever they need to inject"

Ellie: Oh man that sounds so exhausting on TOP of being pregnant!! You deserve hot chocolate just for remembering it! <3 <3 <3
I hope you had a beautiful but uneventful pregnancy!! Uneventful until the birth that is.... XD
Paul: I'm there too... seems like every visit to the doc leaves moths in my wallet (cartoon moths XD).
Needles.... sigh, make me faint. As long as I don't look I can get through it... but if I watch it go in, and watch the blood go out.... I'm physically done -_-.
Last year my poor cat did something to herself and came home with a huge flap of her skin hanging off her leg. It was at 4 AM when she finally came home and we had to wait a few hours for the vet to open... and I was holding her and I wanted to help her but.... I had to get my sister to hold her instead. I couldn't handle it. I'm a total and complete weeny when it comes to people I love being in pain and having bloody wounds. I'm not good in a bloody crisis :(
P.S... she's not an outdoor cat, she just liked to take occasional trips. She doesn't leave anymore though XD

Aww that's really sad! I haven't had anything like that happen, but I can relate with feeling like a weeny sometimes - anything suspensful or vaguely creepy at all (or at least almost anything) seriously freaks me out... And I'm glad she's better! I just got cats and would just about did if that happened to any of them!
Thought you'd all like to see a close up of the TRUE STAR OF THE DRAGON TUTOR!!
Heheh, I finally got my Tipping comic done and RUDDER wants to show you how to tip effectively.
Tell him how much you appreciate his efforts here XD

Our birthday is actually in five days, but she had to go to college early so we're getting separate parties. I wanted to get her an ice cream cake, but it was too warm out so I got her a yellow cake with some pretty flowers on it as well as some chocolate and a birthday card.
My mom is now hoping I don't walk home with my own b-day cake when it comes to my party. XD
ICHIGO I RETURN!!
Oh my gosh!! Ice cream cakes are the bomb! But yellow cakes are so sweet and pretty!! And who doesn't love chocolate?? You are a GOOD sister!! HAhaha, and birthday girls get to do what they want! Even walk home with their own cake!! XD

I think my mom is trying to hold on to the last of her children XD
Awww!! Mom's DO try to do that. Give her an extra hug and smile when she looks nervous. It will reassure her that you're going to be alright <3 <3 <3
SO!!
A giant ice storm is coming and I'm going to be in the thick of it! The last time we had one of these my entire county didn't have electricity for two weeks.
TWO WEEKS!!
So, this is fair warning... I may be gone for an extended time AND if I am, don't do anything fun until I get back!!
ALSO!!
I want to thank everyone who has tipped me! I actually am so thankful and its just amazing and fun to watch them come in!! I'm currently writing a tipping comic but since I may lose power before it's finished, I just want to thank everyone whose been tipping me and say YOU'RE SO AWESOME!! I'm going to draw the icon of two tippers (the top and a random tipper!) at the end of every month!! So TIP away! Every tip helps me to continue writing The Dragon Tutor and it means a lot. You're amazing!! ROCK ON!!
