New pages will be up soon :)

September Absence

-This is the worst party I've ever been to!-

You guys are much better to me than I deserve; thank-you for the comments (Elise, Amanda) they really keep me going and September has been a very tough month.
It makes me very sad when I have to break promises to you and let you down on updates.

I'll tell you first that two new pages are up [and we are getting pretty close to the end of Chapter 1 :D ] as of this evening, and despite the recent hiccup it's never been a case of quitting the project.

As for the boring stuff about me...

Well I've been on a sudden change of plans for which everything came together/had to be done during September – on top of that I was contacted to do a short illustration project.
I've gone to study again and this last month (and some of August) has been a whirlwind of applications, references, banks, loans and moving house.
I'm now living back in London :D which is great – and though I feel a little strange telling you, I've managed to rent a room with the biggest bed I've ever slept in. (Plus, I went today to pick up my new library card... yes I'm that sad, it's one of the first things I did.)

But I'm here now, and hopefully things can settle down again.


:)

I'm really sorry the pages didn't get uploaded this week – for personal reasons, I'm going to have to postpone the update until next Thursday, the 17th. :(

Sorry if you were waiting for them, but thanks for being patient.



P.s. I've just realised that sounds rather dramatic; don't worry it's nothing horrible :)

Silhouettes

I just thought I'd post you these, I mentioned them last night but they needed brushing up today:



These are some silhouette portraits of Emery's immediate family. Some of these you won't have seen before at all, even if they've been mentioned:
Top: Verity and Michael Hall (Mum and Dad)
Bottom: Emery and Reuben (Brother)

I'm probably going to use more of these/bigger versions as part of the character section, so let me know what you think :)

I know it's a bit old fashioned--even for them--so it's mainly for my own amusement, I guess the 'family' significance is personal; there's been two tiny silhouette portraits hanging on the wall of me and my sister ever since I can remember...

Semi-update

Hey,

-knock, knock-

There's only one page this week I'm afraid; I'll try and make it up to you in the next post :)
You can access the new one through the 'latest pages' tab on the home page or the 'comic' tab.

I see the blog has 3 new followers this week – thanks guys! I hope you're enjoying the comic.

In Other News...

My main aim for Mathema at the moment is to get the site working a lot more smoothly; I'll keep stressing myself out about it 'til it happens. I realise a lot of it has been left a bit static since the site went up and I really hope that bringing it to life a bit more will help the comic.

I made it to Wales by the way! (Yay - Welsh cakes)
I only went for a couple of days but it was great. I managed to miss one of my train connections but eventually I met up with my family on holiday in Carmarthen (if you're interested ;) ) and we visited a few places – highlight -> http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-dinefwrpark

But anyway, I feel I'm rambling more than usual because it's late and I've still got to stay up and finishing reading my book...because I've only got 20 odd pages to go, blah, blah.....blah, blah...

P.s. Hall Family silhouette portraits in the works...

Update-Yay

Hey,

Two new pages have been added to Chapter 1 -- and I can finally say 'new' and mean it :)
As usual the easiest way to get to them is from the home page or the 'latest pages' button in the comic section.
I'm really excited about the new parts of the story, I hope you enjoy them.

Now take note ;) - the other reason I'm excited about these particular pages is that, amid all the chaos of Mary's doomed soirée, there's something pretty important to learn about Charles...
(But you'll have to wait for more about that later on)

[I have checked them but, if there are any problems with viewing the pages please leave me a note -- I mention it because I may not be able to get to a computer before Monday.]

In other news...

Tomorrow I am going on a mission to south Wales, in the hope of catching up with some of my family that are on holiday there at the moment. It's great, they've already got a schedule of things-to-do planned out for me :D

Hooray! Up to 54 followers; awesome guys, thank-you.

And those that were fretting about my lack of cinema excursions will be relieved to know I made it to HBP a few days ago, and I have to admit, I thought it was rather good -- I'm a little biased though since book 6 was my favourite.

:D

Ta-Dupdate

Hey :)

--enter the gatecrashers--

New pages are up and ready to go – this is a pretty exciting point (for me at least ;) ) since we're now up to date; i.e. (drum roll, if you will) the next post will be brand new pages, brand new part of the story.

The pages are can be accessed as before, either by that side link on the homepage or through 'latest pages' on the Comic tab.

Other things...
Over the last couple of days the blog made it to 50 followers!
That's awesome; thanks very much guys I really appreciate the support.



...I still haven't seen HBP :(
