Hello all,
Sorry I haven't been on here in a very long time. I didn't like the direction my story was headed (the plot wasn't solidified at the time and I made choices I wanted to go back and change), and with a full time job I didn't have the energy to keep drawing.
I have been back at my notebooks re-envisioning the story and characters. Soon I will start publishing content again- but I'm considering more of a written text approach with some illustration to support. Not sure if that would be appropriate for this platform.

Here's a rough mockup in unity of a way my comic's game might appear. I'm not sure yet if I like the style or the color/lighting.

While I am still working on my comic as usual, I had an idea that I can't shake now- making my comic interactive instead. I'm thinking of a visual novel / point & click sort of game where you take the role of Marija and live out the plot and experience the world and characters. Not clear on how I want it to work yet- but I am definitely open to ideas and suggestions.
I'm all moved in to my new place and I'm back in action. I also took a short break to learn some new things and tinker with a few other projects.
To warm up back into the drawing rhythm, I drew my characters in the style of a game I found very inspiring (don't spoil it for me, I haven't beat it yet)

I've finished some tests with a new B&W style for my comic going forward. I think it looks pretty acceptable, and it's certainly much easier for me to produce. I'm excited to get to work knowing that it won't burn me out and I can spend more time telling the story! For those of you who really enjoy my painted panels, don't worry- I'll still be doing them for the important scenes. I'll also try to incorporate color washes and tones for scenes that require more emotion and mood.
What do you think?

I'm trying to decide if I want to move forward with the comic in mostly a black/white graphic style for most of the story with occasional pops of color, and only do the fully illustrated panels for really important scenes. I hate to not have every panel fully painted, but it takes a lot of time and energy to produce pages that way and my story will never get done. I'm not exactly sure how I want to do the graphic style though because I'm not the biggest fan of my own lineart techniques.
Happy holidays everyone. My "peak" season at work has ended, and after a few days of rest, I can finally get back to work on my comic! See you soon.
Hey all, I've decided that since I haven't updated in a couple months, and I am currently in "peak" season at my full-time job (60 hours a week), that I will call it a hiatus until the beginning of 2017 when I finally get my life and free-time back. Just want to let you all know I'm still here and I'm still making my comic. I hope you all can look forward to updates again in January!
See you again soon!
