She kept him waiting.:[
Another sketch of Ryan is up at TWC
Ha ha so I actually updated the comic last week but I forgot to put the notice up on the front page about it. Er, ha ha. So if you missed the page just look back one??
END OF CHAPTER!!
There's gonna be a short hiatus while I flesh out the rest of Unit 2, only a few weeks this time though. In the mean time I'll also be working on the Section 2.2 cover illustration :B
Rock! Good job on 2.1. Can't wait for more (but I guess I have to anyway XD). Good luck with the storyboarding and/or scripting for Unit 2!
Er, might as well combine my comments then.^_^; I was disappointed when I didn't see the notice last week.
For the previous chapter, well, I just love the look of Douglas's office. Not too stuffy, not too showy either. There's a lot of space along with fairly sizeable furniture, and I think their simplicity is nicely accentuated by the small details you put in there (LOVED that logo, and the texture of that wall).
Okay, I'm gonna read into it, 'cause I love art for the balance of form and content. So, uh, stop me if I get too scholastic.
Maybe it's just me, but I find those parallel lines (the elevator, Douglas's symmetrical furniture) you use to frame the panels very interesting. And vertical lines suggest stability, so...is it correct if I assume that Azalea's state of mind is a tad healthier (especially compared to that chapter when Xin had her on piggyback)?
For the current chapter:
While I think it looks good on the page, I wonder as to the reason for obscuring Auden's face, since his uniform's kind of a dead giveaway. But it does add to the suspense, so I guess it's all right.
Hmm, bright background, Auden's face obscured by shadows, that...odd...look in his eyes--what has Douglas done to him? *gasp* I thought he was still as, well, easygoing, like he was in the last chapter. Dun, dun, dun!
The Student Council has gotten creepy. But well, at least they look really, really good. I love the detail you put on the characters--even the faceless students look great.
What? No updates? I--I think I'll survive.
Way cool ending. I had a small freak out in my chair.
Yay for update
Boo for Hiatus
Yay for Hiatus only being a few weeks
Boo because a few weeks can mean like 20 weeks
Yay for Yay
Wow, loving this. I'm guessing that Auden remembers more than he's letting on, and maybe Azalea is in on it as well, although this is probably obvious from this page alone. So the question becomes- for what reason is Auden waiting for Azalea? Is it as simple as they agreed to walk to their next class together? Possible, but from what I've seen so far, it seems unlikely. Looking forward to the next update
Another chapter done. Hoorah!:D
Why.. do I get the feeling that Azalea will be Auden's "substitute" for Chrystelle..??
Reading Predirection while waiting for the next chapter. :)
Yay for informing us about a hiatus and an estimated return date. I take it the vote incentive won't change during this time?
Another fantastic chapter! And what an ending! I can't wait to see what happens! Keep up the good work, and I hope it doesn't take you too long to get Unit 2 up to par. Good luck with everything.
Hi Hans! Are you still alive?
So.... When are you going to update? It seems like forever! Also, IS there going to be a Lapis Aquae comic at all?
"Only a few weeks this time."
Two months later...
Yeah, yeah, not complaining, it's worth the wait.
Oooh, i remember Lapis Aquae! That started out so well, i want to see how it goes if it gets continued!
Uhm...are you coming back? ^_^
I like that more sides of Azalea have been revealed since the past chapters, though I'm sure we all could sense from the start that there was more to her than that pure and wholesome facade she normally wears. She's my favourite character so these developments were a treat. xD I think it's safe to say that Azalea's being rather selfish - allowing innocent bystanders to be involved in this for the sake of saving her mother. I'm guessing she's going to face some nasty consequences later on from this choice of hers.
man. i was a sophomore in hs when vol. 1 started. i think i'll be dead before vol. 2 is done.
I agree with d. If anyone else did this as much as you do, no on would be left reading. However, your art and storytelling is awesome. We can't help waiting. I'm not saying you should force out pages. My point is that you make us sad :(
I think Hans is dead.....or went off to join a wild yak herd. Either is possible.
MISS YOU!!!!!
(and Itty Bitty Kitty of DOOM)
I miss this comic so much. But, I was pleased to read all of 2.1 after a long time. I love the flow of it; I think it's the best out of all that I've read yet.
Hans, we miss you! Any updates forthcoming (comic related or no)?
:( :( I re-read the entire thing yesterday and today... still my favorite comic.
Whatever is going on, hope you're well, and everything is going well, Hans! :D
Still voting on TWC sometimes :)
Please update us, Hans... we're (or at least I am) getting desperate for a notice that you're still ok and no calamity has befallen you... :)
Have fun, good luck with everything!! :D
Hey there Hans,
Although you have provided us all with comeback updates in the past summer, & have told us of your hiatus, we have been waiting more so than a few weeks,(unless your definition of it is different by far)
I still miss your elegant, superb, & beautiful webcomic, & pray that nothing in troublesome sense has grasped you entirely, in & away from your project.
Also, even though I wish for something soon brought up, take your time, don't rush too much with your work & life, but an update of how things are from your side, would be grand & helpful to us all.
Hey Hans,
Yeah, I'd like to here how you are faring as well. Cause it's been more than a few weeks. And the comic can wait, just wanna know how you are doing. Although I'm quite anxious to know how the story will continue!
AUDEN! NOOOOOOOOOOOO lol. I can't wait to see where the story goes from here.
:|
HAAAANS.
I'M DISAPPOINTED.
Hey Hans,
I was just wondering if you were doing ok. Haven't seen you in a long time. :hugs:
awsome
Ever a short hiatus, is it?
Well, all that need be said has already been said. I have nothing more to say.
Hans,
Just an update on what is going on, on your end would be wonderful, even if it's not a comic update... We miss you and are worried!
Miss ya Hans! No pressure to come back; life gets insanely busy, I know.
Just a thought: what about becoming a quarterly type comic (officially)? That way, there's no pressure to make monthly updates and you can make larger scheduled updates throughout the year. I've seen a comic do that and it seems to work out well. Anyway, just an idea!
Good luck with whatever you're doing and I hope you're alright =)
He's alive, just posted on Twitter about 5 minutes ago :-)
