Ok kids, sorry for the over-abundance of journals from me as I posture and contemplate on the future of my cartoon.
So for a while now, long before the hard-drive-alypse, I've been feeling a little hemmed in and stunted by the confines I've placed upon the comic. These include no-colour, three a week, 3-or-4 panels max...that kind of stuff.
See there's only so much "funny" you can fit into a 13cm x 12.3cm box without hiding the "art" and only so much "art" you can fit in a 13cm x 12.3cm box before you start compromising on the "funny".
So here's what I'm intending to do; Starting in the next two weeks I'm going to try a trial period of full-page colour strips, a'la the Christmas specials - two a week, and see how that works. If it does and it's easy then yay, I've advanced as an artist - if it doesn't work for any reason then I'll try something else or revert to default mode.
I just feel like Woods for the Trees could be a much better comic than it is. I've already proved I'm not "going" anywhere, this is still fun to me no matter how few people read it so it's not for that reason, I'm changing it for my sake. Keep it fresh, open new windows and get some air in here!
New picture up here tomorrow when I finish it. It's pretty good though, so don't worry

Oopdate
So just an update on stuff.
As you know (or may not) I'm currently moving the comic from it's current Comic Genesis location to a new home at Comic Fury. There are many reasons for this, chief amongst which being the increased options available at Comic Fury in regards to domain names and HTML and the like.
The current Comic Gen site is not going anywhere, nor will it change - I'll use it more as a mirror site after getting the CF one properly set up, so for the time being at least use the CG site as the main one.

I've sketched out mostly all of them so far (still have an extra slot
Website Help Wanted
This is hard for me to write down as I don't really know what it is that I'm asking for (or at least the terminology around it) so I'll just explain what I want...
My comic's website is fucking horrible looking. Like, a child designed it in dreamweaver kind of terrible. I know, I did it. But everything works, and nothing's broken. It's a very easy website to edit, to update, and alter.
BUT it looks like shit, as I think you'll agree. http://woodsforthetrees.comicgenesis.com/
So basically what I need is 2 things - ONE; make it look not shit, or at least less shit and TWO I want to move away from the .comicgenesis adress to the .com adress,
Post-Story Analysis
So it's the end of another glorious storyline and time again for my somewhat self-indulgent analysis of it.
As per usual with me, the ending shown was not the original ending written when I started the story - this is a very common thing with me, in that I do edit the scripts while I produce them. Indeed, the last three strips were rewritten pretty much a day before I started them. In the original ending, instead of the strip focussing on Jess and Reuben after Pytor leaves the story was originally going to cut to Isabel over-reacting to being shot in the tail and believing she was dying a "hero's death" until Reuben arrives and mocks her fo
'Baby Don't You Sign That Paper Tonight,' She Said
Developments have developed, leading to me deciding that what I'm about to say is a good idea (Jaysis I hope it is) - I'm going to (In the coming weeks) open limited slots for commissions....maybe like 5-10 or something...I'm new to this so I don't really know how it works.
Also, dunno how to accept payment from people, or even how much to charge for what. So the following would be my price list based on what I've seen others doing...then deducting some money from it because those artists are talented:
Inked character with no background - £2.50
Colour character (includes shading and gradient background if wanted) - £5.00 (additional charac
