Details on Chapter 4

It's been a while since the conclusion of Chapter 3, and part of the reason Chapter 4's taken a while to get started is that I had a bit of a writers block, however, I have Chapter 4 written out (mostly) and it has already begun on MangaBullet. Currently on DrunkDuck is the "Making Of Gesen" special, and so chpater 4 won't be beginning for another week or two. (meaning updates should be smoother over there.) The making of will be posted on here and possibly on DeviantArt in time, but for now I want to focus on making some progress.

Each chapter title has two different "versions", a DrunkDuck Version, and a MangaBullet Version, however the main (and only) difference was the colour scheme. The Drunkduck Version used all colours, whereas the MangBullet Version was limited to shades of blue. For the first time, two completely different drawings have been done for the two and here they are.

 

As you can see, the MangaBullet version still uses the limited palette, but the Drunkduck one features a character who will debut in the chapter, and also was drawn in the same style that Chapter 4 is being drawn in.

Yes, once again i'm experimenting with shading and lineart styles to try and see what sort of results I get. I'll probably talk about it more in the near future, but hopefully history won't repeat itself.

Unreleased Chapter 2 Prototype to succeed A Traveller From the North

In the spirit of Non canonical chapters, an unreleased prototype of Chapter 2 (which is untitled, and only has 4 pages) will be next into the Non Canon Vault on DeviantArt. It's quite old, and I have no idea where exactly it was going, but it features the Southern Continent's screaming rooster (which will be appearing in the background of A Traveller From the North soon after Asuna reaches her destination.

Also Wanted Posters will be appearing in ATFTN, but I'll talk more about them when the time comes.

Below I've uploaded the Chapter Title Page and first Page of the never-before-seen Chapter. Remember, you saw it here first!!

A traveller from the North and Cover Archives to be put on DeviantArt

Remember this?

 

It's the now non-canon Chapter 3: A traveller from the North. 
For archiving purposes the "entire" 12 or so pages of A Traveller From The North and the Cover Archives will be uploaded onto DeviantArt.

At least one new Izoku Clan member confirmed

Hey all. It's been a while.

So first off to begin I will say that there will be no update this week, but hopefully (and I hate making promises like this, but I try to keep them) a triple update next Wednesday. Originally it would have been a double, due to the layout of the pages, but seeing as I won't be able to have a page done for this week I decided to merge the two.

--
Now, then, about the titular topic. Due to the changing of certain events in the story, the Izoku clan may be gaining a few new memebers - (one is definitely confirmed, but there may be a few more additions depending on certain factors. I don't want to reveal too much about this new Izoku, but what I will say is that he's extremely vicious and violent in nature. His name and weapon are yet unconfirmed, as is whether he has any sons or not.

Revamp Coming Soon

Let's be honest here, this blog hasn't gotten that much love. I originally planned to use it to post up comic pages, but due to not being able to archive it properly that won't be possible.

So, instead I decided this would serve as an "official blog", where I'd be using this as a sort of news site, but to be honest, there really isn't much that can be considered "news" without having spoilers, and this whole draft system isn't really that huge that it should become the main focus of the blog.

This blog will not die. It just needs to find a purpose (much like some of the characters of Gesen who have not been introduced.) All that "drafts" stuff will be merged into one page (because it really isn't that important).
I need to get some proper character pages and make this more of a database, almost a wiki, as it were.

Guess that's all for this update.

Hiatus is Overrrrrrrr!!

After 2 weeks of no progress, Chapter 3 begins tomorrow with the first two pages (as well as the chapter title) released on Drunkduck.

This hiatus gave me the much needed time to patch up Chapter 3 and Chapter 2 (for the MangaBullet version).
I guess with Chapter 3 starting, I'll have to make a characters page soon...

DeviantArt Delayed, DrunkDuck Hiatus

In just over a month we are on hiatus again.
Basically the holidays are coming up... and before the holidays coursework has to be handed in. and for that to happen I need to take some time off Gesen. This hiatus will be over in around 2 weeks, hopefully that should be plenty of time for me to finish chapter 3 and start on 4. Hopefully.

In the next Drunkduck update I will announce the hiatus over there and hopefully have a sort of preview for Chapter 3 (I'm not making any promises.)
 Unfortunately this hiatus means that I'll have to push back the DeviantArt launch, also, but it's for the better.

Despite all this, updates on MangaBullet updates will continue as usual, mondays and fridays.
