The Hunt is ON!
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 11:45pm
Hello, friends!
In the midst of further work-acclimation (it's adequately tough to manage time around it), I have news! An Easter Egg hunt is on!
There are two Easter Eggs hidden in the comment sections of the comic's archives. Here's a hint: one of them is located in the archive of the old version, so you have to read through it... that is, if you want to get some awesome WebComic Planet prizes for finding all of them! >D Search well!
(A note: the host was down all day yesterday! But now it's not. Necessary server moves! Everything should be okay now, so read away. Sorry for any inconvenience.)

TGT and DRT
Monday, March 15th, 2010 9:10pm
Day 1 of work passed without a hitch! I'm quite enjoying it so far... and that's a pretty big understatement. Excitement fills me! The only way it could be better would be if I were a morning person (but of course that can't be helped, but can be dealt with). If you missed the news of the slight pause in updates here, check the last news post. That'll get you up to speed!
And now for a few plugs.
I had meant to do this last week, but forgot: TGT Webcomics!
If you've followed the comic closely, checked out past news, or looked at the Author page, you'll have at least heard of my interview on Two Guys Talking Webcomics. It was a delightful experience. I very much enjoy talking to Kurt (and the then super-special-co-host Byron of 1977 the Comic), and listening to other podcasts, even just little bits of them, is amazingly insightful into the minds, lives, and loves of many different webcomic creators. It's one of my top webcomic podcasts, and you should give it a listen if you haven't already.
On another note: have you ever wanted to be a radio supervillain? Or rather, did you have an idea for a villain you'd love to actually hear on a radiostyle podcast? Submit your idea for a radio supervillain and read about where you can get hundreds of hours of free audio drama done by the impression cast of Decoder Ring Theatre, over at topwebcomics.com! "Now in its fifth season, the series celebrates the Golden Ages of both radio and superheroes as it follows the masked protectors of 1930's Toronto through the dark days of the Depression and into the storm of WWII. Adventure and mystery are on the menu, and snappy dialogue, sassy sidekicks and two-fisted pulp justice are guaranteed!"
If any of those things sound like they might amuse you to no end, you should get your rear on over to those links.

We Tried (and Other Exciting News!)
Friday, February 26th, 2010 8:25pm
Whoa! It's still Friday. That means a page!
I know it's been a while, and I'd meant to post this in December. These last few months have been CRAZY, and it's all for good: I've finally achieved what I've been working for in-between this comic's updates. But first, the schedule:
- This page is not finished yet; the background details, some small special effects, and the foreground shading must be put in place. That will be done sometime within the next week.
- We will update with the last page of this part of the prologue (which is already completed) next Friday.
After that, it may be 3 weeks to another month before I am able to start updating regularly again (although I have already started the Prologue cover and re-thumbnailing it), and here's why:
- I finally got a job as a web developer at a quite wonderful company, which begins in a couple weeks. I will have to acclimate to this, but that shouldn't take longer than a week. I'll be on a regular schedule! Yay!
- Because of this, I will be finishing up every other project I have in queue within the next two weeks. This includes the anthology comic I have taken part in. Its original deadline was in December, which is why I was busy then, but its final deadline was pushed back to mid-March. I'm in the process of refining the sketch for those comics and finishing them, which will take almost all my time until then. It's exciting!
- Besides that, there are some other illustration and design things I'm also needing to do. And it's fun! I've gotten re-accustomed to drawing in sketchbooks (all-tablet drawing had gotten me faster and slightly more consistent with drawing in general) and have been doing so regularly with my trusty Col-Erase pencils. Several sketchbooks that I bought years ago for college are finally filling up.
It's an exciting time in life now, no doubt what I've been looking forward to. I'm completely happy about it! Please do stick around for Millennium's continuing updates, because I'm preparing to take on the Prologue Part 3 with fervor!
Oh, and if you're bored, ask me things anonymously on Formspring. It's strangely fun. I can't even explain why.
On another note, I changed the proportion of the pages starting with this one. They used to be manga-sized 5"x7.5", but now the full-sized page is formatted for 6"x9". They're also drawn at an even higher resolution. I'm not sure how I'll work that out with the first 13 pages if Millennium goes to print (although I think 1-5 were also done at higher resolutions before I dropped down for my PC's sake), but I'll figure it out. This ensures more quality! For YOU!
One more thing! I added a "cameos" section to the Fanart page the other day. In addition to the older cameos of Mune in Return to Eden and Ronou in Far Out There, now we have "classic" Mune in The Apple of Discord! Check it out! Also, I'm pretty sure I updated the Links page at some point.
