A Decaying Realm (Taunt) Comic Outlook & General Updates
8 years ago
Hey everybody!
I want to start this off by saying that A Decaying Realm (previously called Taunt - that has now become the name of the first chapter!) will be returning on October 21, 2017. I am extremely sorry that I have been silent on that front; to be honest, there have been several periods over the last two years in which I have mulled over possibly abandoning the comic and even a time last year where I considered severing all ties to this site and my art due to a personal relationship. That relationship has sadly but happily ended, and I feel better than I have in years.
Don't worry though, the comic is back in my plans as well as my goal to become much more active. I will be cutting down on how many people I watch (sorry!) because it is daunting to come onto the site once a day and see 200+ Journals and 1000+ Submissions. I want to bring it down to a more manageable level so that I can actually have time to interact with people and not simply read their journals. Anybody who I watch who watches me need not fear, your stuff is awesome and I will continue to watch you!
ANYWAY back to A Decaying Realm, I am roughly 60% through a complete draft of the comic's story. This one will be a long one XD. There is only a single page left in the first chapter (Taunt) and then the second chapter (Unto Eternity) will begin. I plan to build a buffer over the summer as soon as the draft is finished (don't want any plotholes!) and then I hope to regularly update every Friday starting October 21. I want to build a website for it, but that may have to wait until a few months after it relaunches.
Also, I've been doodling up more of my Opal Park characters - which are from the first comic I ever attempted (and will never see the light of day!). Opal Park also has a somewhat lengthy but more relaxed story, so it will need to be roughly drafted a bit before I bring it to life here. Whereas A Decaying Realm will be horror/adventure, Opal Park will be slice-of-life/silliness. I need a nice counterbalance so I don't get burnt out again.
I will also be posting music reviews every Monday. Feel free to suggest albums for me review! I'm a fan of good (and bad!) music, and I always like to discuss music. Warning, I am a metalhead, but I am trying to learn music theory and appreciate other genres!
I will also be doing short, random comic series (anywhere from 1 to 30 pages) that I will hopefully start up sometime in the next few weeks. They will be black and white and update on a weekly basis.
If you happened to survive all of that, how is your day going? XD
