I haven't even worked on any random art lately. I've been trying to design my graduate stuff on our laptop. It took forever just to get everything set up and going. Just a pain. Really. Anyway, I can't go on complaining too much. It's unsitely. Still, I'll hopefully be able to get my computer fixed at some point and then I'll begin working on putting up a little something from time to time while I focus on my grad project. It's crazy exhausting actually. =P

Of course I haven't put this on here due to me JUST NOW getting my laptop ready to manage the site, but I also took up a job as assistant director to a local art gallery. It's been slowing my work on my project a lot. I'd like to have been almost done already, but I really need to work harder than ever now. Still, it was a great opportunity that came my way suddenly...and frankly I needed cash. Of course, 'tis the way of the world now, as I'm sure many of you have noticed. Still, I appreciate the fans that have stuck around over such a large hiatus. I know it's taking awhile. I've been sketching out things though in my free time. I hope to get the comic going good after all this is over and get things fixed so I can do some small quick things in the meantime.

Later everyone!

End of Chapter Hiatus
[Aaron] - November 2 , 2009

Well, it's the end of the chapter, and that means it's time for what I've been planning for a couple months now. I'm taking a hiatus from the main comic. Not that I won't be posting something, but for now I'm going to be focusing on my Master's project. Awhile ago, I decided to do this at the end of this chapter, with it making a good point to break.

I know I've taken a hiatus or two in this comic's life, though usually not more than a couple weeks around finals, but this is an important time for me. After all, following this, I'll have my masters and be done with graduate school. Then I can focus on my professional career, and hopefully I can give this comic a little more focus, love, and commitment.

In the meantime, I'll try and update with Filler comics or maybe even some updates to previous unfinished pages. I'd also like to work on the beginning edit at some point. It'd be nice to replace the lackluster beginning with an appropriately scripted alternative. (Same story, but it should make more sense...)

After all, when I started this comic, it was random, one-shot joke based, and a simple pass-time. One of the biggest give-aways is the characters being directly named after my online alias Adyon, rather than coming up with a more unique story. =P I didn't plan on creating something like this with my own characters anymore. But, it is what is it. I have already began writing it as its own story, making the characters unique. Adyon's past for instance is nothing like my past. His personality isn't quite the same, and all and all, he will change dynamically on his own. The same goes for most characters, even those based on my friends. A few things will be more evident when I finish altering the beginning. For instance, the beginning opens on Adyon and Ninya having recently started dating, of course with the current addition I've already put at the beginning, it's evident they've been friends since childhood.

Anyway, there's plenty of things yet to come, and I don't want to give them away. Heck, as soon as the comic comes out of hiatus, things are going to shift quite a bit. Things will be less "ordinary". The fantasy element of this comic will be playing a much larger role. I can't wait to draw it, so for now I'll focus as hard as I can on completing my education, so I can get to that. Thanks everyone!

I can’t believe it’s been so long since my last update!  Sorry guys I really dropped the ball. It was just so easy to say, “I’ll update later, I’m busy.”.  The good news is I think I’m going to make all A’s this semester. It feels good to think my hard work has paid off.  Also, I’m just so proud of Adyon for getting a job at our local art gallery! :D

It really is the best possible job he can have right now, because he’ll still be able to work on his masters’ project and paint while he’s working. His graduate project was preventing him from taking a job before, and he'd just been stressed, and this is the perfect job to find. It seems like God’s really been looking out for us this year, and that’s I guess what I’m most thankful for this Thanksgiving.  I wonder what everyone's thankful for? We need a comment system on the journals.
