so I woke up at "7:00am" according to the clock in my bedroom. I thought great, I'll have a page finished and up by 10am. so I jump out of bed and turn on my computer... only to find my computer telling me it was infact "8:00am"..... to which I thought "oh crap. clocks went forward."
so Im currently struggling through a page, and even though its only an hour I lost, it has completely thrown me and I cant seem to get into the swing of it.
there will definately be a page done before 3pm, but its taking me a while (also there is more background so its taking a while again.)
I doubt I'll have a page done for Monday however, thus I will have next weeks update be Tuesday and friday..... fingers crossed.

god-damnit.
So I got one page done yesterday when I promised 2+. there are several reasons for this, and they may also affect me getting a page up Sunday and Monday as well.
first off the page I put up took me far longer then it should have done. usually I can get a page done in an evening... this one took me 3. Granted I only spent 2 hours most per evening but that still equates to about 6 hours.
secondly I started feeling ill yesterday afternoon. I'm still not brilliant but I don't feel as rough as I did.
finally this week at work (which is usually when I get my inking done) has been so hectic I have had no time to think about my comic. I did not even get much time at lunch times to do it.
This means I currently have no back-log of inked pages to simply colour and be done with... I will have to ink a few more. thankfully I have work today and since Saturdays are usually dead I think I'll have some success, even if its just one I get done.
well thats all from me for now. I'll hopefully get something done!

2 more pages
today I only managed to get 2 more pages finished and up. Im falling a little behind on my planned shedule and will have no time to catch up for this friday's update, however I will be able to get back on track this weekend so hopefully I'll still be on target.
todays 2 pages bring 2 new characters.... or at least 1 and a bit....
Demitri is quite a cool character, though he only really has a bit part for the first few chapters. We'll get to know more about him and his past later in the comic.
thats all from me for now.
catch ya later!

the first 7 pages.
ok... so they have been up since Friday. what can I say? they're aren't the most revealing panels in the world. they will get a little bit more so later on.
here is the plan of action: 3 page update on Monday, followed by a 3 or 4 page update on Friday.
this will bring me up to 13 or 14 pages. chapter 1 is 20 chapters long, including the "front cover". this means I need to get another 6 done the week after that. This will put me on track to get onto more interesting plots such as the introduction of Maya (end of chapter 2) and Ruben (start of chapter 4... I know he's a long way off being introduced.)
hopefully I will be able to keep up at least 4 pages updated a week from then on for at least the next few weeks till I start production on my next webcomic "Tekumel: the Chronicles of the Hill people"
thats all from me for now.

falling behind with the website
boring news but its something I wish to share due to frustration.
Im still quite far behind on the website layout. Its up, its running, but its lacking any sort of interesting comment.
Im currently just doing stuff behind the scenes, such as paying for MySQL on my server so that I can, at some point in the near future, put up Wordpress. It should make updating the comic so much easier afterwards.
however its all a bit of a trial, and since putting MySQL onto the server costs £25 per year.... its not a cheap solution.
oh well. We all must sacrifice in the name of love.

Pulling my hair out over web design
I really need to either; A) learn how to set up php powered sites. or, B) find someone who can do it for me.
because quite frankly, doing a webcomic purely with HTML is not going to work. for example. to do one months worth of archive calendar has taken 160-odd lines of html table code...... damnit.... maybe I can rope an old tech friend into helping me.
oh well... back the grind stone

keeping ahead of the game... not
gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
its taking me ages to get enough pages done so that im far enough ahead. Its not because of any technical problem, or artistic problem.... purely that I keep distracting myself. I have nearly done 2 pages today. its a Sunday.... Im sure I should have had more done then this!
its not all bad news though. I am still far enough ahead for me to feel happy about starting this comic on saturday. fingers crossed I can keep up the pace. I need to get a page a night done over the next week to make me happy enough to have it update 7 days for the first week.
its only 2 hours a night though, and with no late shifts at work that will only take me till 8pm every evening (just in time to settle down for Star Trek DS9)
anyway... Im distracting myself again, so I should get this page finished!
thats all from me!

Re-doing the website... again
Im currently re-designing the website. Im just never happy with the results. I know its my own fault for lacking creativity when it comes to site design (also my fairly low amount of HTML knowledge), I think I may end up getting my cousin involved, she's fairly good with sites.
Im starting to work on another comic as well. that wont be up for quite a while... lets just see how the first one goes eh?
its based on the RPG Im currently playing in. you can find information by going to the GMs blog here
My character is the Girl called Kuna (there is a write up there by the GM)
anyway I should be getting off for work now.
Ciao

The Blog For My comic
I decided that I would set up a blog for my comic which I am starting up soon. Not sure what I will put up on here just yet, probably I will make commentaries on pages put up, or maybe make my excuses for why pages HAVEN'T been put up *prays that this will never actually happen, but know it will*
I'm not the best at blogs, and often get lazy with them.... but since this will be connect to my webcomic I will make an extra effort to keep up to date.
and for anyone interested, the site which will be hosting my comic is www.seskimoshack.co.uk and it will start going up as of the 22nd March.
