Comic for Friday, May 9, 2008:




Several of the auctions end today! Bid today! You can easily get an 11 x 17 full page of comic artwork for $25 (including shipping). Currently, none of them have bids! And I really, really need enough to get us through to the 15th, when I get paid, for gas, which I have to get today.
Leave a comment!
Tursiops42 Interesting to find out what you do with the missing panels.

First?
Astrobia Things just never work out quite how you plan...
TheZaffy Indeed, Astrobia. Talk about a major glitch in the plan. Even if she tries to back out and try again later, she now has two more witnesses to try and hide Energy from without arousing too much more suspicion.
DarkSpir Not fair! Cliffhanger to the weekend. :/
Wyrm Come to think of it whatever happened to Dr. Hobbes? That vet that Chel took Stealth to when she got hit by a car?
Katalina CRAP!!!!!she's screwed >
Sky Ooh, who are they? *pokes random people* Poor Chel. Times to start making some fantastic excuses...
asparaa ehh, I really like the full comics even if they come less often.
le bob DUR!*headdesk*
I was wrong.
*pokes previous posts on the previous page*
Tiff *Shortens rant* If you'd like me to burn out and stop updating all together, I can continue updating full pages, otherwise, I'm tired and anyone would be tired if they do the same exact thing every day with very few breaks, I got to watch Iron Man and.. that was it. I don't even know what's going on in the tv shows I watch,... because I'm working while 'watching' them. :D Heck, I worked while I was in the theatre waiting for Iron Man to begin. :D
Wolf I don't really mind. The comic is pretty awesome, so it doesn't really matter if you update every day or once a week.

But if you did update with strips less often, I would have to ask you to stop making them so darn suspenseful. :P
Tiff I'd rather update them more often. ;)
tiggertoo While I prefer the full pages, it's no big deal -- whatever works best for you Tiff is great. And since we get the full pages eventually on Wowio, it's all good!
Tsarmina We are blessed with whatever you are able to share with us... even if some of us might feel a bit feint in anticipation. *feints*
;) *votes*
Tahvohck Take as much time as you need, Tiff. One of the authors for another comic I read just quit because of the pressure, I don't want to see that happen to you.
Tiff Eeeee.. I'd stillhavea ways togo to hit thatpoint, butwkw. What comic wasthis?

hswoolve you see me complaining?
I have to admit, this is *not* the dialogue I was expecting to see, you've surprised me.
TigerGulp *pats Tiff on the back* Cliffhangers aren't so bad. It gives us readers a chance to speculate as to what will happen next, perhaps even give you an idea or two about what you may do down the line. So take a break, turn into a puddle of relaxation, and fortify yourself :)

Cause when you come back.... *prepares sour cream and cheese filled balloon*
CustomDesigned Don't worry about the TV. You aren't missing anything.
Brent Don't worry, Tiff. That's what online blogs and wikipedia entries are for, to catch you up. As for the comic....take your time, as I always say (though I am a little anxious for SATURDAY'S surprise panel entry).

By the way you guys....she said yesterday there'd be an update on Saturday....I think. Is that right, Tiff?
Tiff I'm missing what's going on in Ghost Hunters and sometimes it takes me longer to read recaps than to watch the shows. ;)
otaku1 Please don't stress out over this comic. I am enjoying it, and don't want you to overdo it. So what if it takes a little longer between updates! (:

Lady Faye this should be good. ^_^

6:51am: Friday Updates
Alien Dice has updated! Akaelae has a picture of Tira up. Updates will return to normal next week! (At the moment, Akaelae will update M-F (Thanks to that gift two months ago, I still feel I owe on that one, plus other people helping me out on top of that who enjoy Akaelae), AD will update MWF while I work on the books). There are a handfull of auctions for original Alien Dice artwork up on furbid.Auctions end on Friday and Saturday and procedes go toward (in order) my medication (Taken care of, thank you so much!), gas which I also need TODAY and groceries, then bills, Speed Racer tickets and convention stuff. ( The holding price is $20 on each piece.) Bid now!

And... new incentive for Akaelae, donate a minimum of $5 and get a cameo on Akaelae, cameo rules are basically, one or two appearances, felines, mice, rabbits, fox (all colors except white), wolves, misc other species and genoworks mixes (No native roos, rifiers or talking shivae/scythetails.) None of them ... weird.


Ugh... ok, I'm going back to cutting up full pages and updating throughout the week. I'm doing 50% more work every week than I was doing and the result is loss in ad revenue by not updating M-F and frequently falling behind. I liked showing off the full pages... but I think I'll restrict those to Wowio and print from now on. It's just too much for me to handle and actually DO anything else during the day.


As usual... I'm swamped with work, which means I respond to email very slowly or not at all. Typically, I respond to emails that only require a sentence or two and save the rest for longer responses... then they get lost in other email. It's an endless cycle. But I do read EVERY email I get.



Today's To Do: Prep work - Coloring - 2 pages AD, AK, 1 page Shivae, 2 strips of Abby, etc work
Completed: 2 NeverNever updates completed and sent off for color.

AD Book #1 with text progress: 75% complete - Need to finish cover, layout book after proofreading text.
AD Book #2 with/without text progress: 15% complete - Going over lineart in Manga Studio in preparation for recoloring.
