Fair enough!

Its true, I really do feel that I’ve let people down. A full 9 months of just nothingness, I’d be happy to know that anyone is still out there willing to read this. Still, if there is, I feel that part of the problem is motivation. Its hard to really tell if anyone really cares what I do, and Immortal Enemies is a big, big commitment. I feel that had I more cheerleaders, I would probably more diligent. Its kind of like asking people to come to your movie and talk during the middle of it. If this was Gladiator, the most modern Roman Epic I can think of, it would be not unlike saying ’seems good, but isn’t that the guy from that horrible Hercules show’ when he starts training to be a gladiator.

…but yes! I have started new illustrations. There will be progress. I do not intend to give up, in spite of my lack of motivation at times. Tell one, tell all!

I wanted everyone to know that I do plan on continuing Immortal Enemies. I am truly sorry that I haven’t been better at actually updating the page. I recently started a new job, and as such I have normal person hours. This gives me a lot less time to draw, and I haven’t really figured out when is a comfortable time for me to actually get some work done.

This also leads me to the status of the forum, which is currently not working. Everything’s fine as far as the database. I wanted to upgrade to the new version of PHPBB; however, it proved to be a little more complicated than advertised. It comes back to that time issue, and trust me, PHP is not fun, especially when It seems like the host doesn’t want to accept massive uploads.

Anyway, thank you, those fans of the graphic novel, for sticking with me. I hope to reward your loyalties soon and often, but if things seem like they aren’t happening, understand that I am frustrated too. Again, my apologies.

So now that we’re back, what next? Creating new pages is one thing, but I want to do more. In the next couple of weeks, I hope to unveil additional sections on the website for additional content; wallpapers, banners, etc. I plan to update the forum, also, to have more robust software and spam control. The first step is the stuff at top, our new navigation. I’ll be working, in the next few weeks, to make sure it works with all modern browsers. I think, currently, it does, more or less, but there’s always little things in it that surprise me.

I’m sorry to inform you all that I have sustained a rather sizable loss to my home due to a kitchen fire. I learned recently that this means that, on top of no longer being able to live there for a few months, I have no electronics whatsoever. This means that I can’t post anything. I did lose about 50 illustrations related to Immortal Enemies, but they were all posted already. The ones that have yet to be published that are complete were with me at the time! Hopefully, I’ll be able to get back to you soon, but I did want to make sure I explained why there are not and have not been any updates for a while.

Thanks!

Personally, I’m learning how to model using Blender3D and hope to learn texturing and how to rig animations as well. I’m sure Jon K can help me with some of this. There are plentiful sources of help guides and tutorials, so wish me luck!

The physical look of the Iron Hands has also drawn a lot of interest. Quite a few people have commented to me about how much they like Jon B’s vision for them. I have to agree with the masses here.  You can check out the Games Workshop page to notice the differences.

Again, thank you! Enjoy the book.

Also, I have the first part of Immortal Enemies in Dutch in my mailbox. You should expect to see this soon. With any luck, German and other langauges will follow, allowing people to understand the plot who are not native English speakers. This is good news.

Also, as of October 27th, Immortal Enemies will be 1 year old. Expect to see page 100 uploaded on that same date. This is also good news. In the grim darkness of the future, the war continues on!
