A weekly update in lieu of a new page. I've forked out the funds for Smackjeeves and a custom domain name, and I'm now in the process of working over the site layout to suit my comic. I should have a working site ready for some people to beta-view shortly.

Hello again, apologies for my silence.

My comic is now being hosted on Smackjeeves. The site went live on June 1st almost as planned (coding troubles plus some real-life graphics work for pay threw a few spanner wrenches into the works at the last minute). So for those who were following the comic either from Webcomics Nation or from my deviantArt site, please update your bookmarks accordingly:



Things are still a little hectic, but I'm moving ahead with new pages while I post my existing pages twice a week. The plan is to have a two or three page buffer available by July, and to maintain that buffer by returning to a weekly comic update schedule. Current updates will be Tuesday and Friday until July 6, and will occur on Friday after that.

As always, comments and suggestions for improvement are most welcome, especially from people who can suggest improvements to the website itself. This is the first time I've had to update a website in quite a while and I'm open to suggestions to improve the site's appeal... within reason Smile

Looks okay. Does the biz. Short of adding a starfield or moonscape to the background, what else can ya really do?

Not much, I suppose (funny you should mention a starscape. I was thinking that would make a good background once I had the chance to properly paint one). I thought about adding a cast page but given the comparative brevity of the stories planned (30-60 pages), I'm not sure that's a good idea. Maybe for longer stories / ongoing series.

This wasn't the update I wanted to do, but after several weeks with no news I'm left with no other options. Icefall is now on indefinite hiatus.

I've become aware of some serious plot problems that I overlooked. I had a particular destination in mind when I wrote the script for Icefall, but in a desire to "get straight to the action" I did not set up the story in such a way that that destination would be believable. Vital pieces of background and character development were neglected.

I screwed it up. I'm sorry.

I am currently rewriting the comic from the start, and plan to relaunch when the script has been completed and the first act of the comic has been drawn in it's entirety (that's twenty pages worth, so this will be some months yet).

Ow! That's gotta hurt.

Good luck with the restart!
