New episode is still on the table getting the treatment. I’ve been somewhat preoccupied with a comprehensive evaluation of what the hell I’m doing with all my online activities. So I’m in the middle of a total revamp and overhaul of bloodredcomics.com. If you like chainmail chicks then keep an eye on it.

Meanwhile I’ll try to have a new episode of Zyn Dweomer up very soon. Many questions to be answered. Why did the goblins slay all the slarls? And how? Will Naola be able to finish this gig and still fulfill Bojo’s demands before that tramp Deeti? What is Hurke’s special game and why doesn’t his mom want him doing it?

Apologies to anyone who’s been following the comic. It’s been a couple of weeks since the last update. I got sidetracked with overhauling bloodredcomics.com and then realized I was firmly in the midst of a Zyn Dweomer roadblock funk.

The issue seems to be that my story and ideas for this comic far, far outpace my ability to draw it in a timely manner. This is a case where I have a lot more story to tell than I can manage to get out fast enough to keep my brain happy. So I’m in the middle of evaluating how to solve the problem. It is obvious to me that I need to adjust my approach here in a way that allows me to work faster.

More soon…

I’ve been really struggling lately. Not just with finding free time but with the direction of the comic in general. I have drawn several versions of the next strip in different formats trying to find the right approach. What I need to be able to do is complete strips more quickly. I’m a “strike while the iron is hot” kind of artist…I’m afraid I don’t have the long distance stamina down. I need a more immediate result.

With luck and the powers of dark and evil beings at my command I should be back on track this week.

I’ve likened doing this strip to being in a relationship. The longer I do it, the more it feels that way. A couple of weeks ago I had my doubts that I could continue doing it with as much passion as needed. Now, suddenly, those doubts are gone.

I’ve had long projects before, usually incomplete. But this one is really special to me. There is just so much more of it I want to explore. Gotta keep movin’ on.
