Bah, I can completely understand when and english-er is supporting their own politicians, so let's make a deal:
I'll keep my rudeness and grumpyness to myself outside of face-to-face interactions. Sounds good? :)

Comment on Epilogue: The Pain that Distance Brings
kotor, 13 May 2013 05:27 am
Almost there
There will be a second epilogue next week, but yeah. That's the story.
The whole point of the story is that sometimes things don't go as you'd expect. Sometimes love doesn't triumph, sometimes saving the day is all you can hope for and afterwards you return to your ordinary life, sans greatness.
Basically the message is this: events don't change you. You change you. So if Winston's too cowardly or Allen's too quiet, if April's too pushy and Larry can't get the girl...they're not going to shine just because they got given an opportunity. It takes a lot of courage and inner strength to reach out and grab your destiny and become queen of Avalon, as Apple did, and in her case that strength was a part of her long before she got involved with a magical adventure.
This hasn't been the perfect story. I've failed in a lot of ways, but hopefully you enjoyed those elements that I got right.
I honestly don't know what to do next. This is a big period of transition for me in a number of ways: my university degree's nearly done and so I've started job-hunting. To be honest, I have less time than ever for drawing comics, but more potential projects in my mind than I know what to do with. More Special Level, Runt and Candy, a Pokemon Wild West story based on Taken, the charming feel-good story of a girl and her six-year-old clone, Kung Fu adventure comedy... I don't really know what to focus on next.
I know I promised more Runt and Candy starting this week. I'm just not sure if I need a bit of a break first. If maybe there are other projects I need to work on. I've made a few Runt and Candy pages ready to go, but the time involved in making them is more than I can spare on a biweekly basis - I think I'm the victim of my own perfectionism and I've made the art so complicated that I just won't be able to find the time to make them regularly enough.
I think I'm a bit burnt out.
Watch this space, perhaps I'll make an announcement soon.

Sith Inquisitor, I didn't know you were from Argentina! Awesome!
Don't worry, there's no love lost between me and the late Mrs Thatcher. It's just a pun, nothing more: I don't think it's right to put my own political opinions forward in comic form. I'm certainly not trying to present Thatcher as some kind of hero. The Falkland war just seemed like the best event to hang this joke on.
So we can still be friends :)

Winston (and his closest friends) strike a burn once again!
As for the murder comic, that's got to be the youngest priest I've ever seen!

I'm sorry this page is a week late - actually, though, looking at it, I think it's far better for my having pondered it for a little longer. Good to know.
Originally they were going to reappear in the middle of their living room, but then I remembered - I'd drawn a house for them, well over a year ago, for the purpose of another comic I'd scrapped, which I'd never shown off. So I figured, when am I ever going to use this again?
It's based off my house from my second year of university - I say based off, our house didn't have a nice garden or a tree, it was just one of a long row of terraces. So I decided to make this one look slightly nicer.
I drew another Tumblr comic. If you're not following me yet, you should be:

Apologies for the lack of Special Level comic: I have a Mandarin exam in a few hours. Please instead accept this preview strip for my new Runt and Candy comic, which will begin on the 16th of May - that's less than a month away! Woo!
So, decision-time for Special Level. The story will wrap up around the same time that Runt and Candy's comic starts, so I'm switching over to make that my priority. I'm not going to say that Special Level is finished - I have plenty more ideas for stories with these characters, but it's not the right time right now. I have too much else going on, too many other ideas I want to explore. So after the end of the current story, Special Level will go on hiatus. BUT, I'm going to do something similar to the end of Totally Crossover and post a unique story in its own universe after things wrap up. This time it's going to be my university Intro to Comic Arts 16-page story Drop Dead Gorgeous.
So, to recap: Special Level finishes soon, new comic story afterwards, Runt and Candy back in May. Whoop whoop.
Now, a couple of shout outs: first, fan art from Surfersquid:

As a matter of fact, events and other people does change us, but is true that they seldom do it inmedeately, like they do in fantasy tales.
That's why in the Chronicles of Narnia books, the narrator says there is "something in the air" (probably magical residue and wizard radiation waste) that made anyone who entered on Narnia become more energic and resolved during their stay.
Also, we should not forg- "You're too busy making out with an elf."? Is he talking to Apple or Gwen?
I've really enjoyed your auto biographical comic, and look forward to more Runt and Candy, as well as your long anticipated "Totally Dragon Age"!
You are awesome!
