super neat piece of fanart while I was away, courtesy of Nicholas Burke of the webcomic Dream Against the World . I like how effectively it shows off most of Adrianna’s primary character traits (squirrel jumping, smoking, and being deliberately obtuse). Thanks Nicholas. 😀
Aussi! Pour tous le francophones il y a maintenant le début d’une traduction en français , grâce aux gens de Vieux Croutons ! Je pense que Red Moon Rising peut être mieux en français. 🙂 Et pardon de mon (trés, trés…) mauvais français, je suis encore à apprendre.tough luck . You’ll have to settle for a good ol’ Glasgow kiss, as we say around here. One of the first comic pages I actually drew (way back in 2007 now) was of a guy getting headbutted, so this was sort of interesting to draw as a bit of a nostalgia trip. And this time round it looks way better, which is always a plus.
As a small heads up: I’m trying to build a buffer right now and spectacularly failing (this is Wednesday’s update, posted on Thursday night, herp derp) since in about a week my boyfriend is visiting from New Zealand and dammit, I don’t want to have to spend most of my time drawing while he’s here.
Normally I wouldn’t blether about this sort of thing here, but if it comes down to it I may have to slow down or stop updates for the two weeks he’s in Scotland. I usually prioritise the comic quite highly in my life, but we only get to see each other every six months or so, and some things are just more important. Sorry, guys.
(Edit: Secretly changed the page so no one else thinks this is Galak. I design characters gud.)

Bam! Window!
The end! Just kidding, just kidding. I may be a jerk, but I wouldn’t do that. At least, not yet.
Sorry for the unannounced hiatus. It wasn’t planned but it was fairly necessary and I would definitely do it again. Not to be a cryptic douche, but I’m leaving it at that. Updates as normal now though, for propers this time.

Still settling back into the ol’ Monday-Thursday (as may have been obvious from Thursday’s absence) – bloo bloo bloo, comics are hard, and so on. Should be ok now, though, getting back into the swing of things.
Also oh goodness whatever could this be
Right! It’s a page! I’m pretty much ok now, thanks for all the well wishes while I’ve been ill. 🙂 I didn’t anticipate the break between pages to drag on so long, but then again, I’ve never been so ill in my entire life, so… well, what can you do?
I’m pulling back the update schedule to Monday/Thursday for at least a little while, since I admit it’s been really hard getting back into drawing pages after such a long break. In a rather ridiculous turn of events, I had to refer to my own fire painting tutorial in order to finish this page, since I had no idea what to do. Derrrrrp
sleep now, caught lurgy
Ugh, surprise paperwork ate Monday’s update. I had it sprung on me, and it wasn’t anything I could put off doing until later in the week. Plus I still don’t have a buffer since updates just started again, so that was kind of a kick in the teeth. Really sorry about that. :/ Hopefully this is the last hiccup the updates will have, because god damn.
On the plus side, I guess I remembered how to paint buildings in the meantime? I think this page looks a bit better than the last few.
I think I went through about (and this is just a rough estimate) 80 million draft thumbnails before settling on the page layout here. Since this scene is about to get very vertical, I wanted to try some neat things with composition, but whether it actually works out or makes sense is another matter entirely. ¯\(°_o)/¯ Also, quite tired at this point and I think I might have grammared bad in the text? Question mark?
Gonna stop talking now or I’ll just reveal everything that I think is wrong with the page. It’s been called to my attention that this is probably bad practice. GOOD NIGHT.
This was a pretty nice way to ease back into updating – a straightforward four panel page where past-me of two weeks ago had already done all the heavy lifting by sketching out most of the difficult stuff. Cheers, past-me.
Still gearing up for email replies – doing that all today. Again, thanks for being patient, everyone. 🙂 Back to Monday-Wednesday-Friday updates for the foreseeable future!
Had a bit of a strange weekend where I think I was either asleep or in some sort of sleep-deprived delirium for most of it. I don’t even take drugs, so this seems a bit unfair in terms of work time lost, but oh well. This page also took a while since I had to sink a lot of time into watching parkour videos to make sure this part of the scene didn’t end up looking farcical. Farcical in the same way someone with, say, a manhole cover balanced on their head might look.
Anyway, unfortunately there’s only going to be two updates this week (as there were last week, the astute among you may have noticed) and updates will be a bit spotty for the next two weeks since, as I mentioned in the post last update, I will be entertaining a special visitor from overseas. On the plus side, not a single person has told me off for being a disorganised lazy jerk yet – thanks for being understanding, guys. 🙂
Everyone who was waiting for punching, tough luck. You’ll have to settle for a good ol’ Glasgow kiss, as we say around here.
