Okay! Sorry about that – I had the page ready to go last night, but my internet died before I could post it, and still wasn’t working before I left for work this morning.

Next page will be up on Tuesday – the rest of this week is going to be hectic, and I still have some catching up to do.

The programming schedule for Intervention is now up – go check it out! They’ve got lots of interesting panels lined up – it was hard to narrow down which ones to volunteer for. Here’s the schedule for the ones Chezhnian and I are going to be on (along with other awesome webcomic people!):

Friday 3pm – World Building 101 (both of us)
Friday 4pm – Writer-Artist Teamwork for Webcomics (both)
Friday 5pm – Everyone Needs Help Sometimes: Webcomic Portfolio Reviews (Eren)
Friday 6pm – Who’s Afraid of Traditional Media? How to Art Dangerously Without the “Undo” Button (Eren)

Sunday 12pm – How to Make a Webcomic (both)
Sunday 1pm – Creating Three-Dimensional Characters (Chezhnian)

We definitely hope to see some of you guys there!

And thus begins the magical and heartwarming story of a girl and her lemur… >.>
hey, some people get to be badass panthers and wolves, some people get to be small exotic primates…?

Next page Tuesday…

More Morphyx 101. If anybody wondered why there were panthers ‘n’stuff strolling down the street on Chapter 1 page 19, this and the next page will explain it.

The cast page has been updated with names and portraits for the rest of the “main characters,” if you haven’t looked at that page recently. Kip’s more detailed info will go up after this segment is over. For the other two… you’ll just have to wait. :P

Page 4 will be up sometime on Friday… if you don’t want to keep checking back here, just check on Saturday, or subscribe to the RSS feed. I am slowly getting back on track…

Sorry about the still-unfinished page!  Got another unexpected last-minute call in to work, so I won’t be able to finish it till Saturday evening.  The last two panels won’t be shaded in pencil, since we’re once again voyaging into flashback-land…

And thus commences The Life Story of Kip in 30 Seconds or Less!

Also… If anyone in the northern Maryland/southern Pennsylvania area would like a print copy of Chapter 1, they’re being sold at Odyssey Gifts in Williamsport, MD.  (And if you don’t want a copy, it’s a really cool store, anyway.)  Many thanks to Carolee for supporting us and being so excited about our project!  :)

EDIT:  And here is the finished page, finally.  The bottom panels were done in copic markers and black watercolor.  Next page will be up Wednesday.

Also check out our guest interview for Intervention, which was posted on August 12th – you can read it here.

Hope to see you there!

Sorry about the unfinished page – I got an unexpected last-minute call to go in to work in the morning, else I’d be staying up to do the shading.  Finished page will be up later tonight!

EDIT:  Finished page is up!  Refresh your browser if you can’t see it.  I spent hours doing all the shading on the people in the background… then applied the graphite powder and wiped it all out, hah. ~_~  Sorry for taking so long with it!  You can see a larger version of the page without the title text here.

Next page will be delayed due to the unexpected schedule changes, but I’ll be back on track soon.  Someday, O fabled and elusive page buffer… someday…

And that is all for Chapter 2! Fun stuff coming up for chapter 3 – action, treachery, maybe some dancing, and the introduction of our next main character. :D

The combination of the end of the chapter (working some last kinks out of Chapter 3) and the rapid approach of Otakon (with lots to do yet!) means we won’t be starting to post Chapter 3 till after the con. BUT we will be posting bits of the other con-related Tamuran stuff we’re working on in the meantime. I am also taking requests for sketches and mini-comics to post. So this is your chance to tell me what you’d like me to draw! I’ll draw pretty much whatever so long as it’s not too complicated, too much of a spoiler (minor bits of character insight/backstory are okay), or too eyeball-melting (I reserve the right to define ‘eyeball-melting.’ >.>) You can leave suggestions in the comments here or in the shoutbox, or send us an email (tamurancomic (at) gmail (dot) com). I’ll also be Ustreaming tonight and Monday night starting at 9:30 pm EDT, so you can tell me your request there, if you’d like to watch me draw it (otherwise I’ll be working on the Artists’ Alley table banner image).

As always, thank you for reading!

Next page will be up next Friday…

I’m going to be Ustreaming tonight while I work on coloring the artwork for our Artists’ Alley table banner. Feel free to stop by and watch me work for a bit, or just say hi. I’ll be starting probably around 9-9:30pm EDT and going for a few hours – if I’m not there, it most likely means that the combination of Ustream + hugeass Photoshop file wrecked my computer. >.> But I’ll see how it goes. If the big file isn’t cooperating (and maybe even if it is) I might take a break and do some sketching instead. :)

Next new page update will be next Friday – still working on a whole lot of convention stuff, and getting Chapter 3 ready to draw (only two more pages of Chapter 2 after this one!) On Tuesday I’ll be posting something of the other art I’m working on.

TWC vote incentive is the inside back cover of the print version of Chapter 1, which includes colored pictures of the two princes.

I forgot the strap behind the elk’s ears on the last page, but I’ll fix it and re-scan the page later.
Randomly, page 13 was page 50 of the comic.  Almost finished with chapter 2!

Vote on TWC to see an alternate dialogue version of the second panel. >.>
