Automaton Works

With all of the attention going to Bratkitty’s Starcrossed these past few weeks we decided to take a small break and spruce up the home front. The changes on the viewers end isn’t that much yet, but the backend has undergone some very drastic transformations. A few of those changes made things much easier for us to update and add media, others have sped up the site in various ways, etc. Hopefully, more of this stuff will become more evident as we continue to use the site. Also, if you have a Gravatar it will now show on the comments you make.

Not to leave the community out, we’ve got a great one forming on the forums. I’d like to encourage anyone to join because it’s been great talking with everyone. In some instances rocking has occured. Besides all of that, we’ll be filling out the rest of the site as we go. With Starcrossed Vol. 1 nearly done we’ll need to get a place up for it and begin finishing what’s left on our to-do list of sitely things.

The purdy little graphic above says drawing’s complete. Don’t get too excited, this just means I’ve moved on to the tedious task of toning. I’ve done the first couple of pages and am now scaling it back a bit in order to get it done in a timely manner. I’m hoping to have it done soon. Right now I have to take the week off from it to get some work done for school.

I have an exam on the 14th (my birthday) and a paper due on the 15th. Blech. Rest assured I’m not blowing off working on the comic to party.

More info coming up soon!

I am just letting people know I’m alive. I took a week’s break to finish some assignments for school and I am now working on toning the rest of the pages for Starcrossed. I have about half of the pages done and ready for type and I’m hoping to have the rest of it finished by the end of the week and then working on the cover. My goal is to have everything done by the end of the month and sent to Comixpress in hopes that it’ll be ready in time for Anime Iowa this August which we want to attend. I’m so excited to have it done.

The end of my semester is May 15th and of course I have several finals and papers due next month. After that, my time will free up by a lot and I can concentrate on more things. Such as finishing up this site. As you can see it is far from finished. We’ve been wanting to finish it for ages but Rumor’s ad to rely on me to make the rest of the graphics for it which I haven’t been able to get to as of yet. But fear not, outside of a pimp website, we have a bunch of goodies that we will be offering for this summer. The content’s been slow coming, but we’ve both been hard at work on them to make sure it’s worth the wait.

I have finished toning Starcrossed and will now turn it over to my trusty lackey *cough* I mean colleague Rumor for laying in type whilst I work on the cover. The goal is to have it all ready to be sent to Comixpress by the end of the month.

Also I’d like to turn your attention to this cute little guy here:
