Step by step - closer to closing...
Hellish week, part two: the nightmare continues.

That should be the title of a horror movie, not yet another week out of my life. Though, it seems to be brightening on the horizon and I actually got a few hours for myself and for My Mayfly. Which eventually led to creating a few more pages. And bringing chapter 3 a step further on the road to the end.

Yes, the character design yet again: Ashivayra sure has a lot of faces. But this time - inspired by a lot of beautiful ladies of the silver screen, I think I've designed the actual her.
Here she is:

Mysterious, alluring, kind of Arwen Morningstar look-alike, isn't she?

And, to make the wait for chapter 3 more bearable, here's another extra:

The scene where Angus Malatesta pretends he actually has balls.

I know it's not much -- but it's a proof we're still alive and actually doing something... Till next time, everyone!

Hi, how you doing, it sounds like you've been very busy with work in recent weeks. Same thing happens with me, lots of great ideas and project but when it comes to keeping a roof over my head, ya know how it is, real work kicks in, fun stuff goes out the window, but still we come up with ideas ;-)

So just letting you know you have one fan still very much looking foward to whatever you have coming up next. Hope to see new chapters soon ;-)

Kind regards - David

	Thanks - I'm still alive and so is My Mayfly - ten pages are ready and the rest is scripted. Now, all we need is time - and that's not too easy to obtain with class tests to check (I teach young adults - when i come home, I'm a dead beat)... I'm trying to use any moment of free time I have for Mayfly - with various results, so far... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	ooh, Ashivayra has absolutely gorgeous eyes! They make her look very mysterious! And I like the way the lips look very glossy in the picture as well! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Thanks! She's a very secretive character - when i write her, I sometimes am not quite sure what is she thinking;) I mean most of the times I am, but... There'll be a lot of her in chapter 4 )and I still need to finnish chapter 3...) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I look forward to it! mmm, but I know what it's like to be busy, so don't feel pressured to rush to get the comic out asap! Besides, the wait inbetween parts makes me anticipate it more! :D (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The previews for Chapter 3 look great. Persevere and navigate through whatever's going on in your life; when the new pages are ready, we'll all be here to read them. Cheers, ~The Other David~ (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Thanks! The fact is that when I think I'll have more time and most of the work is done, in comes a new commission -- which is good, naturally, because it means more money, right? At least that's what I'm telling myself and it kind of helps... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Hey! I'm on page 15 rught now and getting closer to the finish line! Not posting any new images, as they're pretty spoilerish... Thanks for the heads-up! I'm not entirely sure I'd like people to pay for reading this comic. I don't think it's good enough for someone to pay for it;) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Hi ... everlite1knight 2006-11-07 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	I'd buy one, though i was thinking more for yourself maybe. You can buy one offs not very expensive. (Reply to this)(Parent)
