Way too many characters and way too much detail!!! But, it turned out pretty decently.
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

Um . . . okay, that was longer than I thought. I had a pretty stressful time with work, started getting severe migraines, and by the time all that was sorted out . . . I was pretty well out of the habit of making comics. For months, apparently. Wow.
Also, I was suffering from severe dissatisfaction with my script for the upcoming pages. But a couple days ago, I decided to change it from being serious to being absurd, and that seems to have fixed the problems.
Thanks again to all you awesome people who still check my comic occasionally! I'll do my best not to disappoint you!

Out of town work, insane dress rehearsal schedule, recovering from dance performance. That's my last few weeks. Page is coming, but I don't think I can promise it by this weekend.

Okay, so it took me slightly more than 2 weeks, but not by much. I think this is a doable schedule. Well, at least I hope so. :) Yay for gradually progressing story!
Elliot is very proud of the fact that they are on their way to kill Kiaron. He was hoping to get some experience fighting those guards, too. Sarah spoils all his fun!
The next few pages are part of a sequence, so I have to write and sketch them all at the same time. This might actually cause delays for the next update, since I'm still struggling with exactly what I want the characters to say. Without resorting to a Wall of Text. I never read Walls of Text, especially if they're about the mythology of a story. The font is always really tiny, and I find I can still enjoy the story just fine without those extra details.
But anyway, I gotta go. I'll check back in in two weeks! Have an awesome May!

137!
Sorry, I feel like the Windows time estimation bar with my estimations of how fast I can get comics done. 1 day -- 1 month -- 3 hours -- 2 years -- 5 minutes. Stupid migraines. Know any good remedies? Or better yet, ways to prevent them? :( At least it let up long enough for me to finish the comic.
In other geeky randomness, I saw the Oz movie recently! I was quite pleased. I was a massive fan of the classic Oz books when I was little, and this movie had a good look and feel that matched the books. Yeah, the acting wasn't the best. But I was so giddy from the Oziness that I didn't care. :)
That china girl was awesome! :D The detail and rendering was just beautiful.
Well, back to the comic again . . . I'd like to promise another update soon, but I feel sad every time I promise something and then can't deliver. But . . . let's say 2 weeks? Hopefully I can manage that. The next page is already sketched. The following pages are loosely drafted, but still need the dialogue and pacing finalized before I can sketch them.
In the meantime, go watch this video. I've never played Ace Attorney, but it doesn't matter -- the video is just awesome! :D

I'm still alive
Page 137 will be up Friday. Yeah, sorry, I had a few weeks just go by . . . without even noticing. I got hit with allergies pretty bad, and went quite a while where all I wanted to do all day was sleep. I'm doing better now, though. Sorry for the long delay with no word.
Edit: Oh yeah, and I passed the last section of the CPA exam!! Yay!! I still have more to do before I get certified, but the part with a time limit is over. :)

Wow, it's the first page of 2013 -- already a month and a half into the year! What happened?
Oh yeah, CPA exam. Yup. Still waiting on my results. *pouty face*
You have no idea how long I spent messing with those poses. Seriously. But, at least right now, I am very happy with how everything looks! Yay!
And everybody say hi to Abner! He's had better days. His last appearance was here. His current state is not due to his last run in with Sarah -- a lot of time has passed since then. He is not a very lucky thief. ;)
My husband was very amused by Gerkie's dialogue, so I decided to share. She's saying, "Hi guys! Should we eat this raw or not?" Now, whether or not that is what she is ACTUALLY saying . . . ;)

sorry for page delay
I went a little crazy with the poses, so I'm still working on #136 this week.
But the best news is that drawing the comic is FUN again! :) I was feeling stressed from CPA studying, so drawing the comic just felt like more work. But tonight, I realized that I was thoroughly enjoying myself (and agonizing over minute details that no one will ever notice, of course, but that's normal for my perfectionism).
And I saw the Hobbit, so now I'm drawing a lot of elves on random scraps of paper. Sorry, there are no elves in Off the Walkthrough. Unless Kiaron counts. But he doesn't, really. And we'll get Espers eventually, but not for a while yet. They kind of look like elves.
Yeah, I'm rambling. Sorry. Later!

return of the CPA exam
Hi y'alls. I am still alive, mostly. As an update, I have my last (hopefully) CPA exam coming up in two weeks. Nothing saps my will to draw like a CPA exam. :P
Also, I'm going to be switching hosting. If all goes well, you won't see even a blip. If it doesn't go well . . . rest assured, it'll be back online soon.
And also, I just played through the Mario RPG game for the first time. It was pretty fun. My favorite thing about the game was the "hurly gloves" -- Bowser literally picks up Mario and throws him at enemies! Hysterical! My least favorite thing was all the reliance on coordination. Ugh, there were too many sections where you have to hold down the run button AND hit the jump button at just the right time to make it onto a platform. It always took me a million tries to get through those.
Anyway, I would like to update next week, but don't hold your breath. The comic is one of my new year's resolutions, but the CPA exam has to come first. So, until next time! Have an awesome week!
