Uh-Oh!

Sorry that the news post is a little bit late, O! my loyal readership or lack thereof. When you procrastinate, you lose; it’s as simple as that. I could always make the excuse that I was out of town this weekend and without internet access, but I won’t.

I’ve been having some trouble with Keenspace. I was informed that if you date the comics and put them in the /public_html/comics folder, they would auto-update. Unfortunately, I wasn’t told that the server would allow viewers a sneak peek of next Monday’s comic if an innocent browser were to view Goth Camp via the daily template. I’ve fixed the problem by simply relocating the comics-to-come. Don’t go looking for them because you won’t find them... Yes, I know you think you’re sneaky. In due time you’ll see them, in due time...

I’ve uploaded a simple character index page. It would exist right now, but I was busy creating a news post archive. Nobody told me that I can’t individually edit the pages in the /d folder (you Keenspacers know what I’m talking about!), so I had to work a little harder than I thought I would have to. But I love it, so it’s worth it! That’s what I tell myself when I’m feeling lazy.

This particular strip is a much newer creation than the comics before or even after it. I drew it last-minute (as in the Thursday before), in realization that I hadn’t mentioned my main character’s name (gasp!) and that tends to be important in any story.

As you can probably tell, my CG skills are close to nil, and optimize little more than the “fill” tool in PhotoShop 7.0. I’m trying to use a kind of cell shading, but the results are poor. I’m taking a CG class this semester though... maybe it will help. :)

I’d type more, but I think that any more would probably make your eyes bleed. And who reads these anyway? Us darn-tootin’ creative types with all our writin’.
