Of course a chapter needs a cover art. What were you thinking? Oh, right. You were probably thinking about something else. Silly me.

First I must say that I'm not completely satisfied with this... but as long as it's made, I'll take it. After all, it IS better than the first few pages of chapter 1.

What else can I say? Goodbye, chapter 1, welcome chapter 2!!

News

So, today I managed to put up the two remaining fillers. Only thing missing from chapter 1 now is the cover art, which I'm going to start working on right after this post.

These are the two comics in case you missed them. Page 55 and Page 56.

I can't wait to start working on the next chapter. Oh, and I was right. As far as I can see, I already have two class projects ahead of me.

I have this feeling I had something else to say, but I can't think of anything.

Click here for the next page - and chapter.

First of all, there will be no greyscale version of this comic due to technical problems. Namely, the spiral simply vanished when I tried to make it greyscale. Oh well, I decided not to make greyscales anymore, so it doesn't matter.

The banana joke remained in the minds of my readers. I reused it, just for the sake of it.

Chapter 1: The Deep, Dark Forest is now complete, except for the cover art which I'm going to work on pretty soon. I believe we'll have the first chapter 2 story tomorrow.

I might, just might manage to end chapter 1 today. I have the last filler right beside me here, ready to be scanned.

The pirate jokes today weren't ripped anywhere particular... and it's just easy to make pirate jokes. I mean, just find a word with "ar". Then make it "ARRRRR". Then think of a question for it. Most pirate jokes (surprise) consist of these types of jokes.

I had forgotten I had a blur tool...

News

I was supposed to put these news up once I had the remaining fillers up, but alas, I had to put it earlier.

So, the matriculation exams - and the exam week - are over. For now. That means we should be moving on to the next chapter. Except I'm two fillers and a weekly special behind schedule. I'll attempt to fix that as soon as possible. Today... I don't know where the time went. I slept 5 hours last night and now I'm all dizzy. If that's not enough, my right foot hurts. Note to self: Never, ever sleep 12 hours again. It leads to terrible results. Bah!

Also, I have a new friend on the internet. Well, I've had for some time, but now I'll announce it here. Dhark's Hero School and its author Merlin Missingham. I warmly suggest you go and read the comic there. My first webcomic friend. Yay.

I should be updating

I should be updating Master's Library, mainly the links section (adding banners) and especially the section from this here gallery. It seems to be difficult to find. And the folder looks sad without any pictures.

So much to do. I hope I get to fix everything when the fall vacation strikes after two weeks. Then I should have time. Of course, with new course in school, all the teachers will throw some nasty projects at us. Likely. Well, I don't know really.

The second course of the semester mainly consists of mathematical classes. That means a lot of drawing from my part. A bad habit of mine. You should see what I manage to do in classes. No wait, that would spoil the future storylines. Dernit...

Today I am feeling... Well, in the morning the word "tranquility" went in my head... now I feel like I'm just annoying anyone off with my complaining. I hate that feeling. It leads to loneliness and that's when Dark hits me with his scythe. Not good.

My leg is still hurting. Ow.

Here I have, paper in front of me. I should do the filler. But it's 10 PM. And I want to catch up with my sleep.

On latest news, we got ourselves the latest Harry Potter book. I think I'll go read it.

Fortunately it's the beginning of the course in school right now, so I expect to have time to finally do the fillers and begin chapter 2. Hopefully. You never know about those teachers.

Also, beware of purple ninja. I don't want to scare you too much so I won't say any more.

So, we're on week-o-fillah again. And just like last time, I'm one week late for it. This time we haqve, surprise, pirate jokes coming. I'd like to note that none of the pirate jokes told during this week (with 1 exception I guess) are made up by me. I ripped them off somewhere else. Well, what do you expect on week-o-fillah, original, good jokes? Hah, I say.

On later news, there appears to be quite a fair number of mushrooms in forests.

So, we've reached the conclusion of end-of-chapter. Also, my exam week has ended, with an exception of the matriculation exam. You know what this means? I'm three fillers behind schedule. I'll try to do some catching up. I bet you're waiting the next chapter as eagerly as I am. And since I refuse to tell how excited I am about that, you can't prove me wrong. And even if you can, you don't benefit from it. It's a win-win for me... and, er... you too?

Also, I feel like I might regret making this comic later.

Greetings. As you might have noticed, I did some changes around here. First, I set up the link to Master's Library. It contains things such as F.A.Q., character information and so on. (In case you wonder about the absence of the Frequently Asked Questions, I can only say I haven't got any.) Second, I made up the archives folder for the comics. They are still easy to read, though, as I put a link on the folder's description to the newsest page (which, at this moment, happens to be page 50). I managed to find some time to do this, and will soon resume to making the exam week fillers. If you find any bugs or suchlike, tell me, and I'll try to fix it.

Today, tuesday 19.9.2006, is the international Talk Like a Pirate Day. As such, my weekly special is related to it. Also, since it it's a special day special, I put it earlier than usual. I plan on doing the same with other holiday specials as well.

I'm pretty sure you can't figure out what those speech bubbles contains, as even I can't figure it out from the scanned version. I put the subtitles here:

Noname: "So what? Does this make me a ninjapirate?"
Master: "Yarr!"
Smaller pirate: "4-|-| y-y-0..."
the other pirate: "Arr, shut ye up already!!"
Briggs (the one beside Darkwiz): "Avast, Darkwiz"
Darkwiz: "Briggs!! Long time no see!!"
The ARRRRmy of pirates in the back: "Yarr" x 9

Some characters didn't make it to this holiday special. *Takes a look at the fairy and the badger*.

Don't you just love cliffhangers? I sure do. They add the little excitement to our lives that we sometimes need. Or not, I'm just speculating here. But cliffahnger at the end of chapter. That's 3vul!!

Next up we have the chapter end review, and possibly a few fillers due to exam week. Then the story resumes in form of chapter 2. I can't wait to see how it turns out?

As you can see, I had some fun with the last frame.

Also, yay for comic page #50 (excluding fillers)!!

So, today's comic is mainly the evil team in different costumes. From left to right there's Soulcweep, Dark (betcha you knew this one already), Malus, and the Keg twins. Like mentioned in previous Team Dark special, it is not sure if the Keg twins are considered Dark's goons anymore.

Hrm, what else? Ok. Now they are heading for the mountain, unless the one Leo saw doesn't stall them too much. Darkwiz doesn't seem to understand why it's strange for a mountain to be alone in the middle of othherwise flat terrain. They'll eventually return to this argument later, as the title suggests.

I like doing pages with flashbacks.

You ask why?

Simple. Less coloring. Only thing I need to do with flashback frames is ink them and shade a bit with a pencil. As simple as that. Also, that way I get to say a lot of stuff without any of those ugly tpo-to-bottom speech bubbles.

Also. Notice anything familiar with the squid's disappearance thing? He he he...

Everything will be revealed later. Hopefully.

It's all out of a sudden burst of randomness. Really.
1) It's not like I had any use for typonator in my comics.
2) I don't who in Venessa's name that guy is.
3) Typonator isn't my invention.

Figures. Anyway, that covered this week's special. If you want those cool, awesome colored weekly specials, you'll just have to wait until I'm in the right mood. It's not like I plan on putting much anything than scteches here in weekly specials.

Why do I feel the typonator affects me right now... could be the timae as well.

And tell me, in how many movies (parodies included) have you seen a similiar scene? That explains Laiti's (yet another) 4th wall breaking comment. I'll make him pay for all those walls! You'll see!
