News � I told you!

I told you I will have a new webcomic instead of this one?

Well, HERE IT IS: http://morethanahunch.smackjeeves.com/.

New, shiny and I'll tell you a secret: it's also a Mystery and also has Fantasy elements.

Hmm, wait, so what has changed?

Well, everything. Apart from one element that haven't managed to appear in Seclusion Inn so I am free to use it again ;P

News � Bad news. Or good news.

I am sorry to say but this is the day I am quitting Seclusion Inn.
I was really hesitant to do this as I hate when webcomics stop, but as Seclusion Inn was neither popular nor too much into the story this might be the best moment to do so.
It is not because I want to quit to make webcomics. Actually the opposite: I want to do a good, interesting webcomic. And Seclusion Inn is far from being among the more interesting stories or having the best characters. When I decided to do it – and it was a good couple of years ago – I had much less developed stories and characters and thought I’d just do it as one shot.
But throughout those years things happened. Things that for one reason or the other became – only for me – connected to this comic. And I mean really BAD things including death, serious sickness etc. It took me some time to realize this; I was treating this as my personal shortcomings, lack of speed, lack of skills… But, while I am far from perfection, it appeared that even though I did improve it never applied to this comic, because when drawing each page I was struggling with the THINGS along with the page.
I could have a consistent style. I could draw people looking the way I want them to. I could script, thumbnail and draw quickly comic pages. For anything BUT this comic.
And each page of this comic took a LOT of time to draw. Time in which, with rough estimation, I could do 2 pages of any other comic PLUS one or two cell shaded illustrations.

Well then, If I can do anything BUT this comic I guess it makes sense to do so. If I loved this webcomic I would have never quit it. But I know I have so much better things to offer; there is no reason to waste mine and your time on THIS comic.

I will definitely post stuff online and before the end of the year I am planning to start another webcomic. I am still not sure if it will be one of my longer stories or one of the one-shots. But it will be something I will want to tell and want to draw. If you liked any part of Seclusion Inn then I promise that whatever comes next will be 100 times better so please keep an eye on my twitter or tumblr or Deviantart or Livejournal.

To everyone who has been with me up till now I want to send the feelings of my deepest gratitude. Please, keep believing in me and I will give you something really nice; much better than I could ever with Seclusion Inn.

Comic � Finally it has come to this.

I just want to get this last post out of the top news; I updated a week ago, not a month ago now ;) I might update this weekend but there are so many unpredictable elements in my life I cannot promise that. I will do my best, though :)

I just registered on http://inkoutbreak.com; I am still not sure how it works, though, and how useful it is at tracking irregularly updating comic, like mine.

Still, it looks like a great place to find new webcomics *.* (Like I need more, OTL).

News � In two days...

it will be a MONTH since last update.

God. I am doing awesome -_-'. (if you are wondering why am I typing this instead of drawing a page; I am having my 15-minute break at work D: )

I WILL FINISH THIS DAMN CHAPTER THIS DAMN MONTH EVEN IF I HAD TO SUBMIT ONLY DAMN PENCILS!!!

*cough* sorry....

[EDIT]
So apparently I am unable to read calendars because for some reason I was convinced that 1st October is either on Sunday or Monday. Those 10+1 hour shifts in Helpdesk seriously screw up my perception of time.
OBVIOUSLY I meant to post before Sunday ends. And I still might do it! *goes back to drawing*

I just learned that <a href="http://www.spiderlilies.org/reise/">#Reise# webcomic</a> has only a couple of readers and went...

WHY?

So you guys go and check it out. It's a SF mystery with an arrogant scientist and a mysterious liar. And some other interesting people that are going to appear on the next pages. I should add that people are wearing sexy bodysuits and you should not even read this sentence to the end before <a href="http://www.spiderlilies.org/reise/">clicking the link.</a>

As for next page of Seclusion Inn; definitely not before Sunday. It may drag on to next week. I am doing a short comic for Shosetsu Bang Bang zin and have some problems at home so it's really difficult to estimate the time I can commit to drawing (I already had to change plans for the SSBB comic because my weekend went to Hell).
(it might happend I will draw the page earlier but I don't want to promise anything I am not sure I can fulfill).

[EDIT] Whoa, how embarrassing... fixed the link XD

News � I might actually start to hate my job...

I didn't take into account that I am working 4 days a week 10+1 hour shifts which means that with the commute I am unable to do anything Monday-Thursday after work... which means that if I miss weekend update the earliest I can work on a comic is Friday (I would say "Thursday night" but I can't really see anything by that time*).
The page would be up earlier but I lost a whole day trying to find a new bed (I succeeded though!).

Some small changes to "FAQ" and "About" pages, nothing significant, though.

*I am working fulltime at a computer and it's taking a toll on my eyes... this is not a friendly environment of my own calibrated screen and good lightning :/ In the past weeks I had quite a few moments I could not focus my eyes on anything. Honestly, if Seclusion Inn was digitally drawn you would not have gotten this page.

Yeey for traditional drawing XD
