Here’s something Merlin did, an ink drawing of a scene from the Crystal Baby collaborative comic. Thanks, Merlin!
Well, that “Comic Tomorrow” post turned out to be a great big lie, which is not to say that I wasn’t trying to make a comic all that time. Was so low on energy I could basically only make one line at a time per day. I am feeling much better though. The next page is roughed out, just not finished. I’m feeling pretty damn good this weekend. No promises, but hey.
Thanks for sticking with me.
And hello to Mister Teatime! Good comments. I love it whenever anyone starts marathoning my comic.
I’ve always been okay with waiting for your work, since it’s nearly always worth it and I feel like I’m lucky to have even found it, but my perspective has changed slightly now that I’ve discovered that I have depression. Whereas before I just accepted that you had off days, now that I’ve been battling episodes myself I see how difficult it is to do anything when you’re in this state.
Even now I’m not going to pretend I know what you’re going through, I’m pretty sure my condition is relatively mild compared to others I’ve seen, but seeing it from the inside has made me appreciate the work you do even more. Not just for how strong you are, but for making a story that has given me nothing but hope in the fight with my own demons. It’s still hard, but I’m still trying. Thanks for reminding me to.
Do what you can when you can, if you can. We will not ask more than that of you. Sending good thoughts of health and energy in your direction.
Just finished reading the entire damn archive. Took me two days. I didn’t think I’d get that invested in those characters – and I originally looked this up only because it was posted in SA as a weird webcomic. Yes, it is a TF webcomic, complete with all that it entails, but the plot is interesting, the ideas are fascinating, the personalities are far more engaging than I expected, and I really want them all to get out of this alive and happy. They deserve it. Even Cary, who’s just a misguided extremist. You clearly have a story you want to tell and share and nothing’s going to stop you. I’ve also been struggling with depression for years and a lot of stories – especially Elka’s – hit painfully close to home for me.
Please get better mentally and physically. That’s the only thing that matters in the end.
Well hello! Thanks for the kind comments! Glad to keep you invested.
Cary deserves to be happy? Have you forgotten how many people he’s gone out of his way to harm with a sadistic grin on her face? Especially Sam and Blue? No, the best Cary can hope for is going out in a literal blaze of glory as a heroic sacrifice. What Cary deserves is a long, long and lonely prison sentence, but since that’s impossible, a summary execution will have to do. Otherwise have to agree with you.
Nice picture, Merlin!
Keep working, Speedball – we’ll be here. <3
TRIPLE SHIT, no more pages…
You better believe I’ll be here when the next update arrives. 😀
Working on it as I speak! You won’t have to wait long.
