Brotherhood of the Black Flag News

An accomplishment of sorts.

I think I’ve managed to integrate wordpress posts and comments with my (in beta) webcomic site, without having to run the webcomic itself through wordpress.

It’s working on the version of the site on my home computer, anyway.

I maybe should have been working on Black Flag instead, so that I will eventually have something to POST to my webcomic site, but  I’m in the middle of building another set and wanted a break.

Still rendering away

Having finally got the engineering section set built, I am now working on the end of Chapter 7 of Black Flag, and have just finished the page with my first kissing scene. 🙂

A tendency to rely too much on text is often cited as one of the most frequent beginner problems of writers-turned-comickers, so I always get a kick out of those pages with no words on them at all. (Besides, they are usually a faster to put together.) I have just completed two pages in a row with no dialog. Go me! Although, some of that is probably only due compensation for the previous page which is quite dialog heavy, because it contains a recently inserted mini-infodump. But I thought it was a rather well done mini-infodump? (My husband says “very well done, AND badly needed infodump” — but its his job to say that sort of thing.)

The one thing I can promise is that I remain true to form, and am far more likely to under-explain than over-explain.

In other news all three of my high-schoolers are home with the flu — my eldest girl apparently spend the whole day at school yesterday telling her friends that she was NOT SICK. Heh. By evening she had a worse fever than the two who had sensibly stayed home.

Black Flag Progress Update

I have completed page 50 of Brotherhood of the Black Flag, Volume One: Flag in Flames.

I also discovered that the equation I was using to calculate my progress was flawed, so I fixed it, programmed the new improved version into the Black Flag Home Page and I am pleased to announce that according to the new improved equation, Black Flag production is no longer behind… in fact, in this latest flurry of page production, I seem to have got about a month ahead.   Yay!
