Chapter: Part 2 - Chapter 2
The envoy finally introduces himself, only to get the cold shoulder.
— Sorry about further page delays, I feel like I’m juggling a million small projects at the moment. Fingers crossed I can actually finish some of them soon, since a bunch of it’s RMR related stuff which I’m looking forward to sharing.
Lights on. And a somewhat familiar face.
— Tired of this page, I’m almost embarrassed about how long it took to draw. Something ridiculous like nearly three times as long as usual. Pffft. Pfffffft!
Hey guys, no page this week. I tried really hard to make it happen but I’ve fallen behind schedule on every other bit of work I have as a result, and it’s still not finished. Pretty frustrating, but I’m just cutting my losses and posting up some music instead, rather than let another update drift by silently.
On the plus side, I get to post a track entitled “Let’s Punch Everything” and then name this update after it, which feels cathartic, somehow. Spoilers: it’s Adrianna’s theme.

It’s quite badly mixed at the moment (so much clipping!) but please do bear with me and all of my half-finished things.
Lights out.
— An actual page update this week! Having said that, I was actually really touched by how positive the response was to the music I posted last week, as I had honestly just assumed no one would be that fussed.
I have a whole bunch of the stuff as well, so after receiving some very nice advice from Juno of Star Cross’d Destiny, I’ve decided to start work on putting it together as a roughly 40 minute long album which I’m hoping to post for sale within the next month.
In the meantime, here’s another piece. I think this is going to be the first track, I always kind of thought of it as the main theme for the comic.

Hey chaps, I wasn’t able to manage a page this week due to opting to spend some time with a good friend who’s leaving town, but I figured rather than tumbling into radio silence again, I’d try to at least post something relevant and throw myself on your mercy.
So here’s a theme for Seras Daya that I composed a while back and never really posted anywhere, because what do you even do with a soundtrack for a webcomic?

Paperwork-themed wisdom from the Captain.
— Annnnd we’re back! Sorry for the mostly unexplained and extended hiatus, it wasn’t very planned on my part. To be blunt I was feeling really burnt out on drawing from taking on more freelance work recently, so progress on RMR suffered quite a bit as a result.
On the plus side, I managed to hustle and get back on the update train, which is important because this page marks Red Moon Rising’s fifth anniversary!
I’d be lying if I said I realised this in time to do any kind of anniversary themed event, but I guess that would be breaking a long tradition of understated anniversary celebrations for my wee webcomic here, so I’m happy just to be updating! Cheers, everyone! You’re all fantastic!
Bang! And the dirt is gone!
— Drawing these two is pretty fun, especially with some mad floor level lighting. Also, airship innards and gubbins and such. A surprising amount of research went into this page!
Elsewhere, I did some filler art for The Zombie Hunters this week, so feel free to go check that out. And finally, it was my birthday on Sunday (hooray) and I got an amazing cake. It’s all coming up Rose!
A couple of new faces, the Commander and the Envoy.
— New characters! I had a bunch of fun designing these guys, I’ll be posting up some related concept art on my tumblr shortly.
Also new vote incentive, provided by awesome commenter Ink. It’s the final panel of page 19 with some… alternate dialogue. I feel like in some alternate universe Ezius would absolutely be an obnoxious salesman. What would you do for a klondike bar?
Back to this old chugger. When we last saw it, it was a bit on fire.
— Another long delay, sorry about that. It was mostly due to me not wanting to wreck my hand again, but also the fact that this was a big, challenging spread to paint. I don’t think I realised how long it was going to take when I started, but it’s done now and I guess that’s the main thing! Hope you guys like it.
