Account in the process of being refunded, so the donation drive is back online.

Finally getting to revamp some of the site that’s been nagging me to get done. So here’s whats done and what’s still to do:

Add wallpaper download to mainpage: DONE
Aww yeah look at  that, new wallpaper to follow, now that I see the old one daily.

Change the donation plugin: DONE
Done. Needed a better way to track bonus page donations, now it’s all real time. Donate a dollar, get closer to bonus stuff!

Revamp character profile page: SORTA DONE
Did a handful, still need to draw new art for the later cast.

Get back into doing vote incentive art: SORTA DONE
I was going to post up the pencils for ‘City full of things’ page 3, but Top Webcomics had a crash and I’m waiting on having my account password fixed. That’ll be up soon. But in the mean time, you can see a preview of what the bonus with the little icon there.

Make info pages suck less: TO DO
Yeah, all that hoohah needs a good kick into revamp mode.

Alright dear readers, here’s some updates of vital importance.

-Next weekend I will be pretending I know /any/ French, and taking a two day trip to Quebec City. This means I will only have a one page update, but since it’s kicking off a new chapter, it shouldn’t feel too barren.

-Kicking off a new chapter NEXT week? What about this Monday? Well, I thought it was a good time to catch up on the cover and closer art I’ve been ignoring since around chapter 6. So instead of an actual comic page on Monday, I will be adding two stand alone bits of art to the archive.

I owe you guys one page, for not leaving a note that I would be out of town last weekend and about the lack of updates. Next weekend is another convention trip, and might result in only a Monday page being posted. We will see, I’ll push to make it a two page week for failing to post about the last one.

So, that early page the other night? It’s story time.

While randomly doing stuff online the power goes out, finding myself with one hour of laptop time, and a router/modem on a backup generator on equally low power levels, I quickly lettered the page and posted it. You know in case the power wasn’t on quickly.

I’m glad I reacted quickly, as the reason for the lack of power was a truck had skipped the curb, landed on top of a parked car, while also managing to hit a telephone line which in turn crashed into the powerline. Visualize that, a truck on top of a car, and a telephone poll balanced against the powerline. Crazy. We did get power back around 3am the next morning.

And the best birthday present ever. Patch Together picked up the Skulldog plush toy design, he’s already half way on the needed pre-orders before they make it into a toy. The way Patch works is you WILL NOT BE CHARGED any money until they finish creating a prototype plush, and are ready to ship the finals. Right now at $24.95, but once it reaches the full 20 orders needed, that will go up, get in early and get the discount.
