So, I'm finally back from my artistic slump. Job hunting and filling out applications
really sucked my creativity dry. I'm making a few changes, and I think they'll really
help once I get used to them. Namely, I'm going to be altering and making my own 3D models
for the bases of the backgrounds and then drawing in the details. This should help make
more interesting camera angles and speed up production time.
The new voting incentive is my second attempt at a style for the first page of the comic. It's fun seeing how different it looks every time. Keep in mind that this one probably took place a year after the first attempt. But it's still old.
BUT!!! Most Importantly!!! There are updates to the site! Check them out! I added a characters section and an extra's section. In the extra's section is a flash dress up game that I made. I'll be adding more items to it next week. But I hope that helps make up for the lack of posting. haha.
@bluetoaster: Yay, he has a lot of growing up to do in this comic. haha.
@BlackCatz: Hahahahaha, I know, it's a bad habit. I have a general summery of what I want to happen for the page, but I don't make the dialogue until afterward. It helps me to see their body language before I think of what they are saying.
@ aat53543: oh, at the very least. He's probably halfway to China by now.
@ MadMindInk: haha, way to think positive.
@ horse_chic11: Every ship needs one.
@ Sabreur: I'm glad you like it so far!
@ Jamie: ^__^
@ Smallboy03: thanks for the feedback!
@ krypt0n: Thanks so much for reading it!
@ Bovan: of course!
@ Takiusa: like always, haha.

The comic for this week might not be up until Monday. There have been a lot of birthdays
and what not so I haven't gotten around to it yet. But I'll have it up as soon as I can.

He's got foot in mouth disease. 5 bucks says he'll be crying before the night it over.
so, I've been getting onto aim again after like a year of being off. I usually chat to friends in the evening/night/early morning so if you want to chat you can add me. My Screename is clarawickham
Today's voting incentive is the third page of the original style for the comic. blah. haha, but at least you can see how I started. I don't think this one is finished though, there's a lot of white background.
@chobi_chi: thanks! When I first started showing this comic to people, another artist said my style wasn't good for this type of comic. But I did it anyways. haha.
@ StellaCadente: haha, I'm glad people are getting my sense of humor. I keeping that some things are only funny to me.
@ Deji: haha, that's great. That probably would have scared your mom if you started laughing for no reason.
@BlackCatz: ^___^ thanks. I glad the joke worked. Being an editor sounds grueling! I would never be able to fix others mistakes. And between you and me, I don't even write my scripts until AFTER I've done the art. hahaha, I'm so backwards.
@enshogirl: Carlotta doesn't discriminate against gender, she hits on anything that moves. But something tells me Klaus isn't exactly the most exciting option in the room.
@ bluetoaster: hehe, he's trying so hard.
@ horse_chic11: He seriously does not think before he talks. This is going to cause problems down the road. >__<
@ Dalliann: I know, I think it's adorable when they get embarrassed. And thanks for voting!
@ armando: ^__^

Thanks so much everyone for understanding why I have to cut back to one comic a week.
Hopefully I'll be able to start adding some fun things and spend more time on things like
backgrounds.
The new voting incentive is the next page of how the comic originally looked. Some people like it, but it burns my eyes. ahaha.
@xhahakristinax: thanks! I seriously had too much fun looking in a mirror and making faces to draw those. ahaha.
@ BlackCatz: I'm glad you had fun! I love artist alley's, it's a great way to meet people. What exactly do you do as an editor?
@ Henrike: hehe, thanks. I liked drawing them.
@ horse_chic11: it was a tough question. haha.
@ StellaCadente: Hehe, I'm sure Klaus would be up for that, though he'd never admit it. Dahlia on the other hand doesn't seem interested any time soon.
@ 67thavenue: Ahh Johnny, my love. Yes, he has the best facial expressions.
@ digitkame: thanks so much! She's strange.
@ Skwinky: thanks! I love making flawed yet relatable characters. You're comic's looking great so far by the way! your main character is a lot of fun.
@ BeachBumBill: Thanks so much for the crit! It was really thoughtful and I agree with everything you said. Now that I'm cutting back on the number of strips a week, hopefully I won't have to rush pages and some of those mistakes won't repeat themselves.
@ Stig Hemmer: SHHH! not so loud... it's still a secret. hehe.

looks like he's not there for Dahlia after all. ahaha. No heroes here folks.
The new voting incentive is the first page of the comic back when I first started working on it 2 years ago. the art is AWFUL. I warn you. vote to see it if you must. >__<
Also, I have 3 spots left for $5 commissions. If you're interested, you can check it out in my DA Journal or e-mail me melody.m.moore@gmail.com
http://mellowstrawberry.deviantart.com/journal/25279084
@BlackCatz: Ooh fun! I hope you got a lot of good stuff. Oh, and him showing up wasn't the surprise, it was supposed to be new features to the site, but I got busy with commissions. hehe. I guess the surprise is that there was no surprise.
@ horse_chic11: haha, nice spelling catch. It should be fixed now, thanks for letting me know. my photoshop's spell check doesn't work on this computer, and I'm horrible at spelling.
@ StellaCadente: hehehehe, he's not that Noble. But we should find out his intentions in the next couple pages.
@ armando: thanks as always!

whoohoo, pg 20! I never thought I'd be this far already. yay!
The new voting incentive is some old concept work (nearly 2 years?) of me trying to find a style for Dahlia. It's awful. Haha.
Click here on the banner to vote.
reminder: I'm still doing commissions. I've added new slots for $5 sketch commissions and there are still 5 slots left for the $10 full color chibi's. For more information, check out my DA Journal here...
http://mellowstrawberry.deviantart.com/journal/25279084
@Dallian: Thanks for the comment! I love drawing the clothes, it's probably my favorite part. I was actually hoping to have some extra sections added to the site by the time I uploaded this comic, but I haven't had the time. I do plan on working on it today though, so hopefully there will at least be a characters page up soon. ^__^

If you like the style of the voting incentives (the black and white sketches) I'm doing $5
commissions in that style for a limited time. Check out my DA page for more info...

--------------------
Sorry for this being a little late, I was too tired with a migraine to finish it last night and then SJ wasn't working for me all day. blah, but everything is finally in order and here it is. ^__^
The newest voting incentive is a full colored chibi of Dahlia.
@xhahakristinax: hehe, Dahlia lacks common sense.
@BlackCatz: Carlotta is a bit slow. they make a horrible team.
@horse_chic11: haha, yeah, I got tired of trying to figure out how she was supposed to sit down.
@ StellaCadente: I suspect the skirt is only there to confuse her opponents. haha.
@Keluc: aw, thanks so much! Yay for steampunk indeed.
@ Dalliann: Thanks for reading! I definitely want to make an 'about' page as well as other background pages like 'characters', I just haven't found the time. Buuuut, if you check back on Monday, there should be a nice surprise if I can get around to it.
@ Gracifer: *looooove* hehe, thanks. I'll do my best!

I finally have my new computer up and running with all my art programs. Thank you guys for
being so patient while I sorted things out. The incident was a blessing in disguise. I had
no idea how slow my 5 year old laptop was until I started coloring on my new computer!
haha. I was like, 'I don't have to wait 5 minutes between brush strokes?! what is this
madness?!'
The only downside is that the monitor is super sharp even after adjusting the contrast and brightness. So I hope the colors on this page look consistent with the others.
I spent a lot of time coloring the new voting incentive to thank you guys for sticking around. It's a detailed chibi of Carlotta. Click the banner to vote if you have time to support the comic, it's much appreciated!
@BlackCatz: The con was tiring, but fun. Luckily we sold enough to make it worth the trip.
@TheHyperWierdo: I hope not! That would make it really hard to finish the story. hehe.
@Tovi_ivoT: haha, potato-sacked, I like that term.
@M. Delaney (Guest): thanks! I'm trying to work on them to seem more cinematic.
@xhahakristinax: I really wouldn't put it past her. She pikes up women a little too literally. haha.
@horse_chic11: Well, you figure she's stuck on a ship with a bunch of smelly guys, she's probably excited for the company. either that or she just really likes kidnapping people. It could go either way.
@Glowstikx: Do you drive down to Ohayocon in the winter? I haven't been to any other cons, are there some good ones in the northeast?
@hiruda: hehe, thank ya. It was a lot of fun to draw the first two panels.
@Jamie:thanks! That's my favorite panel. I'm hoping to go to some more cons in the future, but it can get expensive.
@armando: ^__^
@Henrike: Thanks so much for reading! I hope you continue to enjoy it.

Edit: Okay, I'm going to be busy getting things ready for the con and finishing up a
commission, so I probably won't have a page up for Friday. I'll do my best to update on
Monday as usual. Sorry about that, I just wished I had more time in the day, haha. I
don't expect any more set backs.

above is just an old concept sketch I had made for the watch really early on. I like it, but I had to simplify it for the comic.
