if some of you know me well enough, especially on my usual haunts online, or on my own LJ, you've might have heard about my continuing PC issues.
basically it goes like this, once upon a time, Turnsky wanted to play a nice round of world of warcraft on his PC, the PC, wanted to lock up, a brief battle ensued, and the PC eventually won its depraved fate, and denied me the use of a better chunk of my games, since now every time i want to run anything remotely 3d orientated, it either hard locks, bsod's or just plain restarts (computer geeks see 77, 7A and F4 errors).
and now, lately, it's started to creep into every day functioning of the system itself, photoshop included, now the recent delays weren't because of that.. there was personal reasons to that lot, mainly a bad case of artist's block.
anywho, i've started to get back into my groove (lo and behold, i've actually got one inked early for once!), and now, (i think my PC hates me) i get these problems with it locking up randomly with the same issues, the thing being, it's just so random, i don't know what happens to cause it, let alone how to stop it.
To that end, i figured it was time to save up some cash for a large wad of hardware..

what a way to kick 2008 off, don't you guys think? =p |

well, good news/bad news.
Bad news first, my scanner's dead, well, dead enough for me to need a replacement, and cash is several varieties of short right now, so if any folks wanna help me in covering the small cash hole purchasing a scanner ensues, every little bit helps. =]
for those whom wish to donate a slightly more signifigant amount, i'm also opening up commissions, PM me in the forums if you want details and such.
Good news is, before all this, i did manage to get foxfire's lineart scanned, so monday's comic will continue as usual. |

well folks, i'm gonna be taking a little hiatus, two reasons, Things have been far too hectic for me to properly concentrate on foxfire, and that i have an artistic backlog to work on, not just the two commissions owing that i wanna get out of the way..
i've also been toying with the idea of selling high res pages of each comic, or something along those lines. |

Friday's comic will be the last of book one, and the last by me for a couple of months, depending on how many i get, you'll see a few guest comics pop up now and again during then.
The reasons are a few, i'll start with the primary reasons, for book 2 i need a heck of a lot of planning, to do this i need to take some time off the comic itself to work on it.
Also, i've been feeling a little burnt out, so i need to get my creative juices flowing again..
i don't want to go into this halfassed, to be honest, also i need to take the time to give the site a complete overhaul once more.
i'll give more details later on.. but it's gonna be a massive undertaking, let me assure you.
lots of behind the scenes stuff and all. |

[Feb. 26th, 2007|04:06 pm] |
albeit slowly, the weather cooled down enough for me to actually sit through the making of monday's comic, as you can see, i'll plod through the remainder of the updates, i'll just haveta leave the air conditioner on as much as i'd dare, risking expensive power bills.
i might put forward a plan to have an extra update a week in return for donations.. i'll try and mesh things out..
in the meantime, sit back, and enjoy the show whilst i slowly roast.. |

Okay, the cool thing about my computer, is that it does a good job at slowly heating up my room during the colder months, the bad thing is that during the summer months, it heats my room up something chronic, it's unusually humid 'round here this time of year, and it's making it rather uncomfortable to work on the comic, let alone do much else.
so i'm taking a week off due to weather conditions, and hope it's gonna cool down next week.. at least to a livable degree that i can get away without using an expensive air conditioner.
Onto the epic stuff, as some of you might be aware, i've been making this comic lead up to something rather large scale, so it's decided, that chapter six will be the final chapter for this "book" of foxfire, and "book 2" will start after that, it's still in the planning stages, however, in which i hope to work on this week.
i know a few of you would kill to read my notebooks with all the juicy details. ;) |

as you can see, i'm updating again, not sure how well i can for a while, the dust is still settling 'round here.
i'll see what i can do regardless, it feels good to be working again. |

it's a long story, but to cut it short, my grandmother went to hospital, and primary illness aside, came back worse than when she went. Nurses to blame for hurting her back.. needs a bit more attention than ever, i cut it mighty fine with the last update, so i'm going to go on a hiatus for a week to see if i can sort things out on my end. |

sorry for the late posting, i got a little behind in things.
Here's the skinny, i won't be updating foxfire itself for a couple of weeks, but i WILL be working on other foxfire-related stuff in the meantime..
One of which will be getting the site up to full functionality, and removing any bugs i can find.
another will be a LOT of design work associated in the next direction i will take with the comic..
i can promise you, it'll be BIG..
also, i might try my hand at making the comic in a completely digital fashion, so you might see some experimentation there.
so, see you in two weeks |

okay folks, as i mentioned in my previous statement, i'm working on one or two pages for the comic genesis sampler for free comic book day. Honest person that i am, i'd like to be able to at least help pay as much as i want to assist in the production of a free comic (free for you guys, anything but for those producing it).
So here's the deal, you folks donate money to foxfire, i donate that to the sampler fund, and what you guys get in return after free comic book day ends, is, in your inbox, the page i made for FCBD, in FULL color..
minimum amount is a dollar if you want to support foxfire and help me pay my way for this, of course donations of more than 5 dollars will net you two free wallpapers in addition to the pages.
so there you go, then.
oh, and the money totals are in american amounts. |

well, some of you folks were asking me to make foxfire into a dead tree format comic.. well i'm not gonna do that, instead, for free comic book day next year, i'm gonna be running a separate storyline in whatever space i can grab..
anywho, i'll be putting up a separate donator button for the FCBD fund, soon. so you help support all your favorite comics, and don't forget to pick one up at may next year. |

chapter four is done, and i'm going on my in-between chapter break to recoup, and to work on beginning chapter five, and refining the look of the comic, and characters.
see you in a couple of weeks. |

Foxfire will not be updating in the next couple of weeks, my grandmother has developed overian cancer, and i'll be needed elsewhere to assist her in any way i can, until she gets back on her feet.

while or so, i'm gonna be limited to just two comics a week, why?.. well there's other projects that demand my attention elsewhere, and in order to do those, and sleep adequately to be coherant, wednesday's update will haveta go, but, on the upside, i AM planning something big in the next few weeks, you'll see quite a few things crop up.. more later. |
