I have been writing this daily blog over on Epidigm, which has kept me drawing and sketching for the last two weeks. It’s been fantastic. It’s really helped to take me away from school and work so I can focus more on comic writing, drawing and the drive to be an independent comic artist. As such, I’ve been pushing for Anatta to get done. Wei is in the middle of his one thousand and one projects that aren’t Anatta (he loves to draw it, but money for food is sometimes more important), so I’m pushing as well as I can.

I hope you like this new page. I’ll have a new one up ASAP!

Thanks to everyone for their support, and I hope you enjoy the science fiction short story “Conversation at Hara’s”.

A new comic for you! WHAT WHAT!

Another page!  I ended up not having much to do at school today, so I finished this one up.  The next page should be forthcoming – probably Saturday or Sunday, depending on a variety of life things!

Send us a vote if you can!

Cooooomiiiiiic!!!

There is also a donate button for us now.  We like to trade comics for money!  If reach $100 by the end of the month, we will give you guys two extra pages!

Woooo, money!

I have a working computer!  I’m so happy.

Also, here’s a page!

So, I lost all of Chapter Three, Page 7. Perhaps some other high resolution files as well. Hopefully it’s temporary, I’m like 75% sure its a motherboard problem with a 20% chance of battery contact problems. The extra 5%? Aliens. The bright side to all of this is, of course, that it wasn’t my hard drive that went kaput. I’d rather spend a little extra money on the fixing rather than having to deal with my fractured life without my important digital files.

On an ironic note, I was actually going to back up all of my comic files on to an external hard drive the next day. You know, because we got an external hard drive during CHRISTMAS.

Now, enough with the bitching and on to the giving! I have a new sketch page of AAW up on Top Webcomics, so if you send us a vote for Anatta, you will get a little something something in return. I know it’s bittersweet, because today is supposed to be Anatta update day. I have everything set up on my old laptop and the page should be finished by Wednesday or Thursday, depending on a variety of life factors.

Thanks for everyone’s patience, it makes it all the better knowing that people will actually miss Anatta and I have to get my ass in gear to get it done!

Oh yeah, click on Laelen’s icon on the left to see the new page of Airship Arc Winds.

Yep.  It’s early!

I’m currently working on a solo project, called “Airship Arc Winds”, and part of the process of making this new comic is to do the sketch version of it as a preliminary mock up.  The sketch version is totally readable – it’s in pencil without colour, but it has all the dialogue and fully rendered panels with simple backgrounds.  I want to get some feedback on Arc Winds, and I thought the readers of Anatta are the people to get first crack at it!

I will be uploading a new page of the sketch version of Arc Winds to the TWC voting incentive every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. All you have to do to read it is click our voting icon to the right of any page of Anatta, confirm your vote and read away!

I know that the holidays are a slow time for webcomic reading, people are going back and forth between family gatherings and holiday parties, so not many people spend a lot of time reading comics on their computers.  If you miss the first 10 pages or so, not to worry, I will be uploading the sketch comic to the Epidigm website starting the first week of January.  The people who vote for Anatta will continue to have the pages first until I simply can’t draw anymore or the story ends!

I’m looking forward to sharing Airship Arc Winds with you guys,  I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy drawing it!

In the meantime, if you’re interested in voting for Anatta please cast it at the Anatta voting gateway on the TWC website here.
