Kind of a RapRex update, though unfortunately this one is being brought to you by the letter "S" as is "Stupid Artist".
Considering how many pages it's up to, it's terribly inconvenient to carry the whole comic around with me. So I usually only keep the last couple of pages in my notebook at any one time. Later, when I've got maybe five sketched pages done, I'll transfer them to the larger portfolio.
It's also admittedly not easy to keep track of six characters, especially when I generally only focus on two or three at a time, and that focus can last for anywhere from three to eight pages at a shot.
Keeping track of who is with whom, what were they doing when I last left them and so forth is something I'm trying to keep close track of (hopefully before the comic is released I'll have a couple extra sets of eyes to look it over just to make sure the continuity is OK).
Well, it looks like due to a continuity error, I may have to severely edit five pages, and one might have to be scrapped all together.
At some point, I had drawn up a scene involving four characters that lasted four pages. Those four pages were the last in that notebook. At some point later, when I had gotten a new notebook, I tried to continue the scene from where I had left off.
I didn't have the other pages available, and my memory just wasn't good enough.
One of the characters disappeared (she went on into another scene shown afterwords), one changed position dramatically, and the other was no longer directly involved until several pages later.
I didn't find out about the full extent of this blunder until today. I've started editing a few of the pages to fit them into the rest of the comic, and I'll have to add a page to show the one character changing position, but unfortunately, one very important page is already completed and can neither be altered, or reinserted into the comic.
I'm not sure what to do with it now. It was inked ahead of the other pages because it was intended to be a "special" page.
All four characters, in position, as skeletons (I love drawing skeletons).
Since it's not looking like it will be going in the comic, and it's too good a page to simply discard, I'm considering options on what to do with it.
I may post it here as yet another freebie, or possibly offer it as a print.
In any case, the comic itself is still going and I'm mentioning this as a kind of update on my progress on the comic. ...and to help salve my embarrassment after making such a mistake.
D.O.P.R

It's too nice to throw away, but it's no longer appropriate for the comic.
I could put it in as "bonus" material, but I already have plans for what I'd have as extras should this ever be published.
D. O.P.R
Then at the same time, offer it as a print for sale :).
That, to me, would seem to be the best course of action.

They're not quality enough to be extras, and besides, I've already got a pretty firm idea of what I would want my extras to be.
I think trying to release this extra page as a print might be my best course of action.

WHY DID NO ONE TOLD ME!!!! D:
