Slightly Damned

Commissions are open for July!
:iconcom-open:
I will only accept 10 orders this month, and orders are only considered accepted once I’ve told you.  It’s first come, first serve!  Who knows– I don’t know if I’ll actually get 10 orders, but don’t hesitate if you’ve been wanting a commission for a while.

Also, check this puppy out:

Yup, that’s right!  The new Slightly Damned book is almost ready!  You can also get a sneak peek at what it looks like inside in this video: http://www.flickr.com/photos/the_chu/7491808324/
I just have to make a couple of tweaks, but it should be up for sale on IndyPlanet by this weekend.  It’s about time, eh?

So Slightly Damned and Soprano of Time are both back to normal. New Slightly Damned pages are uploaded on Wednesday and Saturday, and new Soprano of Time strips are uploaded on Saturday. The only thing left to get back to normal are commissions. I have a couple of loose ends I would like to tie up before I re-open, though. Perhaps I should take the time to make a comics buffer as well. Ha! Yeah, right. We all know how much I suck at that.

Anyway, I think I’ll start accepting orders in the first week of July. I don’t know if it’ll be the 1st or the 4th or the 7th or what have you, but I’ll make an announcement to let you guys know when I’m ready. I’ll accept no more than 10 requests in the month of July, first-come, first serve.

…Maybe I’m being too optimistic about how many orders I’ll receive, but it never hurts to be prepared.
So if you want a commission, get prepared!

If you’re reading this, you might be wondering, “Hey! Where’s the new comic?” Well, it’s time for me to face the facts: I just don’t have the time to do the comic twice a week this month. Due to a stroke of good luck followed by a stroke of extremely, extremely bad luck, my friends and I are moving this month. If things go well we’ll be moving again within the next few weeks/months. Sounds fun, huh?

Not only that, but I really need to divert some of my energy into preparing for Fanime. Yep, I wouldn’t miss it for the world, so I’m hell-bent on going come hell or high water! I’ve already bought my table and everything, but I don’t know what space I’ve been assigned yet. When I know, I’ll make an announcement. I’ll also be there with my friend/roommate Arborwin, the creator of Grayling, who’ll have a table right next to mine.

If you can make it to Fanime, you totally should! I’ll be selling Slightly Damned merchandise at discounted prices (and of course, you wouldn’t have to pay for shipping), as well as accepting traditional commissions. I’m also going to be selling non-SD buttons and artwork. I usually don’t sell those sorts of things online; only at conventions.

What this means for the comic: I’m temporarily going back to the old schedule of one page a week. I’ll do my best to update every Saturday, and I won’t be making up the missed Wednesday pages later. However, I’ll try to upload a new drawing on Wednesdays instead. Why? Because I ant to show you guys I’m still alive and I’m not slacking off. It’s just that single drawings take a lot less time to make than a Slightly Damned page.

Unfortunately, I’m also going to put “The Legend of Buwaro: Soprano of Time” on hiatus. I’m not giving up on it; I just don’t have time for it right now. I don’t mind if my TWC rank drops like a rock because of this, because after all, I won’t be providing incentives.

tl;dr Drawings on Wednesday, comics on Saturday, no Soprano of Time until at least my birthday on June 16.
(Why my birthday? Because it’s easy to remember. *3*)

I know this is super, super lame, but believe me– life has given me a series of sucker punches and I’m not happy about this either.
Thank you for understanding!
