Part 1 – Chapter 13 – Red Moon Rising – a steampunk fantasy webcomic

Well, I wonder who that could possibly be.

—And that’s that chapter! *dusts off hands* The website was down for some unknown reason for some unknown length of time, so sorry if you tried to visit and there was nothing here. My host is rubbish and made of dumb.

The penny finally drops for Adrianna. If you haven’t figured it out I’m not saying anything and stop reading my comic*. Believe it or not, this page was delayed for dialogue rewriting. Sigh. *Airin is Lethe’s son that’s his son Lethe is the father and Renshou is the mother and Airin is their kiiiiid

Why indeed. —Having a bit of a hand pain recently, so apologies for the page updates being late in the day. I’m trying to draw in a more spaced out fashion, but it does slow things down a bit.

Lethe sheds more light on his poorly thought out agenda. Which, as we all know, has worked out super well for him so far.

Quick, change the subject. She’s tired, she totally won’t even notice. —Big shout out to Alan Evans of Rival Angels for quickly helping me out over twitter with some very frustrating advertising issues I was having. If you like wrestling even a tiny bit you should be reading this guy’s excellent comic. The page shuffling I mentioned in last week’s update hasn’t yet come to pass, I decided to put it off and do a bunch of extra content instead which’ll be retroactively inserted into the archive when it’s all done. I’ll be sure to mention that when it happens, but in the meantime there’s a work in progress version of a city map of Ashul as the new vote incentive.

Damn magic information crystals, always ruining the moment. —I just realised that the three year anniversary of the start of Red Moon Rising passed quietly by last week without me noticing at all, so I’d like to belatedly throw some confetti and streamers around before getting back to work. *party popper* I’m going to be messing around with the order of the pages throughout the week, so if anything seems weird or out of place or the page numbers are wonky, just bear with me. I’ve been meaning to shuffle around a couple of scenes near the start for ages now, plus I’ll be adding in some chapter pages and other content to the archive so that should be cool! It’ll also inflate the page numbers, so don’t be alarmed if this shifts from page 254 to page 260-something. Hopefully this’ll be worth the hassle it’ll be causing any new readers coming in. Speaking of which, hey to the new readers! There seems to have been a lot of you recently and I can’t seem to figure out where you’re coming from, but hey regardless!

Hug deployed, target neutralised. —Awesome fanart this week, thanks to Iz Elliot! I think this makes Bracken one of the most drawn characters so far. Sucks for you, other characters. Anyway, I’m super behind with all my emails and junk so if you’ve sent me something in the last wee while I’m probably trying to think up a response right now. Sorry. D:

Some things never change.

And they all lived happily ever after. —In my furious haze over the lost work on last week’s page, I forgot to mention that the gallery is now, finally, in operation. There’s a decent spread of some of the art I’ve done for Red Moon Rising over the last few years, plus all the various fanart I’ve been sent. If your fanart’s not there it’s not because I hate you, it’s simply a cack-handed oversight on my part. Email me with it or leave a comment with a link here and I’ll have it posted ASAP. 🙂

Lethe is good at dealing with stressful situations. —Sorry this is late, people following me on twitter will have seen the minor breakdown I had when I lost all of the inking for this page when Manga Studio crashed. A livestream with lots of terrible music (mostly the Pokémon theme on a loop) ensued while I redid everything. Thanks to everyone who showed up, you made the whole thing slightly (slightly) less terrible. This was on top of the sketch taking 9 hours to draw somehow which is longer than the whole page usually takes, so I think this might actually be the most time-consuming page I’ve ever posted. I’m thinking something like 25 hours for this? Absolutely ridiculous. Ugh. ugh ugh ugh I mean… hooray, 250* pages! \o/ *Note from the future: This was originally page 250.
