May 9th/2012: We're engaged!

Notes: ...and this week's update will be late (again), sorry :(

Hi everyone! Drew proposed on my birthday! (the 6th) We've been dating for over 5 years (met in the military in 2004, and started dating a few years later), and we're both really excited! Just thought I'd share that with you all as it is a pretty big turning point in our lives. :D

Again, sorry things have been a little quiet over the last while, life has been absolutely crazy this month (like seriously, one thing after another D:). I'm sorry to say that this week's update will again be delayed, you can expect it thursday or friday. I am trying really hard to balance enough time to maintain one page a week and get back on track.

Thanks for your support and patience, everyone.

May 2nd/2012: Status Update

Notes: This Week's Page will be delayed...

Hi there, I'm going to have to postpone this week's update to Friday (maybe sooner, if I can manage it). I've been blindsided with a legal issue that I was involved in about 7 years ago, and I have to follow up on it, so I've been really distracted. This is all on top of a huge bunch of other crap that has come up in my life and it's part of the reason I've been so quiet/inactive lately.

I'm going to do my best to get back on track, so I'll do my best to get the update to you as soon as possible. I'm really loving the cintiq by the way, and I'm finally getting into a groove with it, so thanks again for all the support with helping me purchase new equipment. It really has made a big difference to the level of detail I can add, as well as the speed of my workflow.

Thanks for understanding guys, trust me, I'm not too happy about this.

April 11th/2012: CINTIQ PURCHASED!

Notes: The Donation Drive was a big success!!

I've already placed the order for the Cintiq 12wx! It looks as if it's going to arrive sometime this week, I'm so excited (actually the delivery date could be as soon as today, I'm waiting on it as we speak)! I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who donated, the whole process went a lot faster than I expected, and I'm extremely grateful :D. There will be more news on this later, I can't really say much at the moment as I am still waiting on the delivery.



On that note, I wanted to say that I'm going to hold out on the donation drive for the new computer. I've got a project lined up that should earn me enough money to cover it, and I don't want to start a donation drive unless I really need the help (like with the tablet), however, if you still wish to contribute the help would be very much appreciated! It's funny, once my tablet broke I had a ton of commissions come in from out of nowhere (where were you all when I had a working intuos!? lol), I have to make sure I have enough time for everything. As for today's update, I'm trying my best to get it online today, I've been CRAZY busy lately, so I'm just trying to get caught up. I just wanted to get this bit of news online so you all know what is going on.

Again, THANK YOU EVERYONE! I am so happy, and very excited to start using the cintiq!

March 12th/2012: Donation Drive

Notes:
My tablet died on me...

Recently my Intuos 4 died, which is the tablet I use for rendering the comic. I'm currently using my Bamboo tablet as a replacement, which gets the job done, but it is a student level product that has limiting results. So, not only will the comic look slightly off, this will also prevent me from completing any commissions. :(

An example of the two levels of shading, Bamboo has A LOT less depth.





Why donate?

This brings me to why I hope I can raise funds for replacement equipment. As many of you probably know, webcomics don't make tons of money, and now that my tablet died on me I know I have to prepare for the future in case anything else breaks down. The first goal of the donation drive is the 12 inch Cintiq, after that, a new computer, and an ergonomic keyboard. I'll try to get some bonus pages out the closer we get to our goal.

The cintiq is amazing, I've wanted one since they were introduced, and I believe it would greatly improve my productivity. The tablet allows you to draw directly on screen, which would prove to be a much more natural way to illustrate / paint. As for the new computer, I've had my current one for quite a few years now, and I know that getting a replacement is in order. The last thing I want is for my computer to die on me and to have no way to work on the comic / website. Finally, the ergonomic keyboard, as many of you know I have a repetitive stress injury in my left wrist. While it is mostly healed at this point, I'd like to prevent further injury by getting a proper keyboard.

These donations will allow us to replace the current equipment, and keep this comic going. We would greatly appreciate any amount you are willing to give, as it all adds up toward our goal. We will post more info as time goes on, and we will keep you posted with our current situation.

Thanks for supporting Terra over the last three years (the site's 3 year birthday is on March 20th! ). We are so appreciative for our readers, and hope to continue to bring you more of the comic in the years to come.

You can donate by clicking on the donation drive bar, or by clicking the button below! :D :D
