And so ends Chapter 4. This is actually page 240. That count doesn’t include the 5 prologue pages because of the quirks of past-me’s comic labelling system. So, 245 pages. I’m rather proud of myself.

Chapter 4
66 comics.
Well, now you know what 164 days is :)
So the shading etc is obviously not finished because I’ve been away this week. But I needed to share this page because it’s just so fun. I’ll finish it up tomorrow. FINISHED.
What’s quite amusing is that most of what Ysendra has to say has been said in the comments, but was written years ago originally. Yay me? TWC vote incentive – keeping up with Wil and Clarissa
Oh look it’s the two least reasonable characters talking about reason. Finally, a new TWC vote picture! Some characters we haven’t seen for a little while.
One of the hard things for me as the person who knows everyone’s character arcs is watching my characters, still not even half way through the story, act like the immature little babbies they are. Sometimes in comics, I have[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Still loving drawing these two. The body language is just too much fun.
My work hours have quadrupled so arghh still trying to get used to new schedule arghhh.
You just don’t mess with Clarissa. NB. Have edited Page 54 to remove Varik and Sophia because of reasons. Changed my mind where everyone was. ^^;; TWC vote incentive is a big beautiful Ysendra picture. If you’d like[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve had some trouble with pages – bad art month. This one was drawn, half coloured, scrapped and redone. Hooray.
I like to think that AU Jakob is an actor who delights in dramatic entrances. TWC is part of next page’s sketch that amused me. My sketches are pretty out of proportion, because I’m trying to get expressions and gestures[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Happy New Year everyone! Any resolutions? Mine, for the comic, is to work on getting my buffer back. It’s not really a New Years one as such, it’s more a constant thing, and now I have less work hours I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Of course she tried it. TWC vote incentive is alternate script for this page. I wish I could make it canon.
Sorry Ysendra, it’s not just because you look so cute in that dress.
I got recommended the webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons and oh my god, it’s incredible. The detail in the art is just fantastic. You should read it. TWC is a Ysendra doodle, of course.
Straight to the point. Thanks for your patience :)
I’ve waited years to be able to draw Ysendra in the last panel. That’s it. I don’t need to do this comic anymore. TWC vote is a Ysendra doodle :)
This page was a right pain. Sometimes the layouts come easy, others, nope.
Late update, work almost smashed me! Enjoy enthused Jakob. TWC vote incentive is a Wil doodle. <3
Sadface. TWC is a WIP of a Kirsty learns to paint piece of fanart. Trying to mix my more comicy style with painting. Hm.
Trust no one. Especially not Science Boys. But do blame them for your hunger. TWC vote image is AU urban fantasy modern day Ysendra.
I had a lot of fun drawing faces for panel 4. TWC incentive is a costume design drawing for future pages Thank you so much to everyone who votes on this. I’m frankly amazed by your support! I honestly never[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Date night. TWC image is a variety of Ysendra expression doodles on paper
Ah, a lovely friendly chat. I’ve been looking forward to this part of the plot for ages and now it’s here I’m like AAH will I even pull this off or do it properly what am I even doing I’m[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
TWC vote incentive this week is the whole of panel 2 without the speechbubbles, because it was fun to draw tiny characters, and Sophia is hiding in there! Actually quite enjoyed doing this background… maybe I’m finally embracing them. Probably[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Meanwhile. Who’s that in the background? Why yes, a webcomic cameo. I’ve scheduled this update because I’m in Scotland this weekend! Woohoo! TWC vote incentive piccy is a Ysendra doodle
Yeah, a lot of you saw that coming. Ysendra didn’t though! TWC vote incentive is Ysendra and Jakob having a civilised conversation
How to show a girl a good time. Lots of work this week so I’m catching up on art and comic related stuff this week! I’d like to redo the Patreon. If you’re unfamiliar with Patreon, it’s basically a big[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I was away on holiday this past week, so TWC vote incentive is a picture of the Derbyshire scenery. I need to work on my backgrounds a LOT more so I took a whole bunch for reference. Remember those old[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Flight Elitism. TWC is olddd Ysendra drawings from 2012, including one of the old versions of her dress.
Ysendra makes a new friend. Unsure if its obvious from one page, but her speech patterns are changed to fit in with the ball here, despite teasing Wil about it earlier! TWC incentive is another dishevelled Ysendra
And back to the present. TWC incentive is an angry dressed up Ysendra.
ONWARD! Perhaps this is why Wil thinks his brother is so pro with the ladies. Absolutely nothing to do with all the money he’d inherit. TWC incentive is me playing with Mucha style artwork because why not.
More flashback. Wil finally smiles again. TWC incentive pic is super old Clarissa designs!
I almost wish the whole comic was tinted brown, I love desaturated colour schemes… and also drawing Jakob’s animated face. He and Ysendra are the most fun. TWC vote incentive is Wil asking Varik a question posed by wwlaos last week.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Past!Kirsty: “Let’s make this a crowd scene! By the time I draw it I’ll love crowd scenes” Present!Kirsty: “I hate you past self” And you bet I just flashbacked you. Ha-HA! In site news, I’ve switched the comment system[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Character FAQs always seemed fun to me. If you have any questions for my characters put them in the comments and I’ll post them answering them over there next few pages! TWC vote piccy is a modernised Ysendra doodle
INTERIORS. TWC vote piccy is Ysendra dress doodle time
It says page 24 but this is actually my 200th comic page, (not including Chapter covers or the prologue). I’ve made a lot of progress, and I have a lot more to make! We’re not even halfway through the story[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Wil seems to make a habit of being pushed around. Sorry for the late update, my internet died for at least 6 hours last night (and then I feel asleep).
It’s a trap! TWC vote is Ysendra pulling a funny face. My favourite kind of incentive. Thank you to everyone who votes for me on this list – it means a lot and it really does help me to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Many things conspired against me to finish this page. I fully expect to look at it tomorrow and pull this face: D8 But for now, it does the job.
Everyone either is Wil or has a friend like him, that you have to whack with the ego stick every now and again.
So the background to this utterly killed me but I did learn a lot about the perspective tools in Manga Studio. Arghhh. (If anyone wants to know how that worked I probably could do tutorials… about anything to do with the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
So… next weeks page is a boring text filled explanation in which Ysendra falls asleep. That’s okay, right? This week I learned some new things about Manga Studio, namely reference layers. TWC vote incentive is a WIP where I’m[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Well, at least she’s not trying to kill YOU right now, Wil. TWC incentive piccy is cold weather Jakob doodles.
Talking of small powerful things… TWC vote piccy is Ysendra’s Weather Witch clothing idea #245345
Ysendra has her magic, Jakob has his…everything. Wil has books. (I know the website looks a bit off, the theme updated. I’ll tinker with it later) TWC vote pic is pencil and paper doodle time with the brothers.
Bye Wil. TWC vote image is cold weather outfit doodles for Wil
Gonna be a bad person again and finish the background off tomorrow. Aim high, fall short. (Was called into work and lost time I expected to be comicing.) TWC incentive is one of the old draft versions of the comic[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If you ever wondered if I like raising more questions than answers, yes. Yes I do. New TWC incentive pic is sketchy Ysendra
It took me AGES to lay out this stupid page. In the end I cut the script in half and made it into this page and next weeks. Then I questioned my sanity because I decided to draw so much[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
#comicproblems – deciding on sound effects. I can’t wait to move the story on now, it’s going to be a fun ride! :D And welcome to anyone new who found me in 2015! *waves* TWC vote incentive this week is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Jakob is just a lot of fun to draw. :X New TWC vote picture is Ysendra’s lovely peaceful dreams. Also I’ve started trying to collect together character moodboards – mostly for outfit design, on Pinterest, if anyone’s interested!
Well, the peace wasn’t going to last long, was it? I’ve been rewatching the original Avatar:The Last Airbender TV show… I can’t believe it first aired 10 years ago! It still holds up as one of the best series[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
– Putting this up unshaded, will finish shading tomorrow – LANGUAGE! K
And who’s to say he doesn’t deserve it. Trying new better shading/colouring this page. I like it, but it’s more to keep track of haha. TWC vote incentive changed to a thank you :) Seriously, I never expected[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hello and a Happy New Year to you all! I hope you had a good Christmas/other winter holiday celebration you may celebrate. I spent mine throwing up due to a virus. Huzzah.
Wil actually did a lot of airship costing research before deciding to buy one. He likes to be prepared.
Wil, I think you’re being judged. Today I am off to London to see Ben Aaronovitch do a talk! I highly recommend his books.
That’s right, Ysendra is THE AVATAR. …or not. Seriously though I wrote the glowing eyes detail in years ago THEN watched Avatar. But hey. It’s a good show. Watch it.
Chapter 4 begins! Woohoo! Today’s TWC incentive pic is another future character design drawing. I think this is pretty close to how I’d like her.
Yes! New chapter! Thank you to everyone who has stuck with me so far! I can definitely promise you more adventures to come. And hello to any newer readers! I love you all! :D TWC vote incentive is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
