The story of the girl who turned into a raven is from the Grimms, who also had a story of seven brothers who turned into ravens. (So no, the raven thing is not solely based on my obsession with Princess Tutu. :P )

Revamps for the rest of the website haven’t progressed much, but at least I managed to get rid of that malware/adware that kept redirecting people (I think) (I hope? Please let me know if you still have problems accessing the site). In the meantime, I’ve posted a weird November comic on tumblr, with several more characters to follow. And please check out this elegant Red fanart by ValDeCreez.

March 20th, 2012 || Chapter 5, pages 4-5

September and August have appeared two or three times in the comic (including the very first page), but this is their first speaking part. In case you wanted to refresh your memory on the story without having to reread the archives, there’s this handy summary of the previous chapters.

Last week a number of people told me that the site was setting off their antivirus alerts and/or redirecting them to some sort of ad site. Now I believe I have fixed the issue, but if you’re still encountering problems with the site please let me know.

March 9th, 2012 || Chapter 5, pages 1-3 up

Click to read the new pages

So, a new chapter, and  a new site design… kind of. Actually only the main page and the About page have been touched at all; click on anything else and you’ll find yourself looking at the old site. Knowing me, if I wait until I get the site to be completely presentable before updating the comic, I’d probably just end up sitting on the new pages indefinitely. I apologize to the loyal forum posters; the forum is still down. I’ll work on that next. The Fanworks and Links sections will probably be a long time in coming. In the meantime, please check out this beautiful fanart sent in by L.S. Zwarenstein of Geist!

As I posted before on Tumblr and Deviantart, I’m doing things a little differently this chapter. In the past I would dive into producing pages with only a basic outline for the chapter. I’d do thumbnails and dialogue as I went along. For this chapter, I’ve thumbnailed the whole thing  in advance, which will hopefully make things easier/more efficient along the way. That’s the theory, anyway. Come back next week to see how well it works. :P

The composition in the first panel of page 1 is inspired by a well-known painting; see if you can recognize it. :D

March 6th, 2012 || The story so far

Given how long it’s been since the last chapter, I figured some people might like a refresher on the story (without having to go back and reread everything). So here is a basic summary of all the chapters so far (not including the interludes for now). Do I even need to warn for spoilers? There are spoilers.

February 26th, 2012 || Remodeled front page up

So far only the facade is up. All the menu links still go to the cruddy old site. Yes this is all still a work in progress I’m afraid.
