So the weird thing about this page was this: I started working on it, and working on these pages is like a multi-day process. I can’t just say, “Okay I’ll make a page today”. Too many hours are involved in the process and my butt can’t sit in a chair for that long, even if I had the time. So I break it up. One day I sketch, the next ink, the next paint. That leaves me (sometimes) one day off during the week. Well, this week, after I’d started sketching this page, Ron and I got in a tiff… which happens to everybody once in a while. The interesting thing was, I couldn’t sketch this page until we made up. I couldn’t even draw a LINE. Oh, I could have drawn Zedwig and Fang angst all day, but Sangwine and Bactine…? Nary a pixel. It just goes to show, he’s my prince. This page is for him, complete with “Somewhere in Time” soundtrack and throw in some exploding hearts for good measure. And it isn’t even Valentine’s Day, yet!

This also is the first page I’ve done on my new computer. Things are always a little different color-wise on new equipment, but hopefully it still looks similar to previous comics. I also had to learn to use Elements 6.0, since 4.0 won’t work with Vista. Gee, Vista’s great. Sure love Vista. So when do we get 7.0??

Banner goodies: A nice reader named Pav made some nifty skyscraper banners of Fang from the last comic. Check them out at the bottom of the Links/Banners page! Thanks, Pav, and you can also find a new 480×60 banner I made of the glaring brothers here. What? I actually made a banner? No way. Next the world will explode.

Also, between putting up the Comic Rank thingy during my previous news post and tonight, Lint has already broken into the top ten! A big thanks for reading, guys, that’s what did it!

Last! Everyone who has been following The Illusionist’s Apprentice and wondering why it hasn’t been updating: I have an old laptop I use to write on, and the AC cord went bad, so I’ve been being really slow about replacing it due to $, naturally, and figuring out the best one to buy. Once that occurs, I’ll be back in writing form. Shouldn’t be too long!

Have a great week,

-Colby
