Sylvanna Discussion Thread

[SurrealBrain]

I dig this series so far, I just wish it updated a little more frequently. I understand that things happen and a lot of other stuff can take precedence, but this thing was originally meant to be finished some time ago, and it feels like we're only barely getting started now.

Ah well. Some progress is better than no progress at all.

Honestly, I feel the same way.

[RadRed89]

So...sure has been a LONG time since we heard anything...

[SurrealBrain]

Indeed. Could they at least make a regular schedule for this?

[Ian Flynn]

Dunno what to tell ya, guys. I'm sitting on the rough draft of the final script, but that's all I've got on my end.

[RadRed89]

Well, that's disappointing. I hate to say it, but I'm starting to feel more than a little cheated here.

From what Dawn Best has said, recently her mother got sick and she had to move to take care of her. Also she has a lot of work to do and her family is getting a new addition soon.

Since Dawn is the one who take care of pretty much everything of Sylvanna, except the script, it should explain the lack of updates.

[Illustrious Q]

In addition to that, Dawn has been building up a backlog of pages, so that when she gets back to posting she'll be able to do it weekly without interruption.

Hey guys! Sorry for the absence here - I'd not been to the forum in forever and figured I definitely owe an update to you all since discussion has picked back up.

Anywho - yes, I've moved home to be closer to my mom as she goes through cancer, but that was all of October ago and she's since been quite well these past few months. We're actually on our third move, now, looking for permanent digs, so that has had a bit of a thing to do with my lack of updating. More to the point, though, my husband and I found out we were expecting our first child about 4 months ago and it's really kicked our butts into high gear when it comes to working. I'm lucky, as it's been a very uneventful pregnancy, but I've still had to contend with being chief breadwinner while going to appointments for the kiddo, only up until recently when the old man finally landed a position full-time. :) So, while things are looking up, I personally am still in the midst of a lot of stuff as I transition back to what I'd hoped for all-along: more time to do comics. Until then, I'm still obliged to cover what has become an abundance of absentee shifts as a per-diem at the hospital (I'm a hematology/lab/phlebotomy specialist when I'm not doing art - a gig I returned to when we fist moved from Columbus)

So! To the point! I'm the absolute true culprit here, as I have the final three pages of the first chapter on my art desk needing the bare minimum of finishes, but due to an unsteady work schedule (see above), I have yet to put the requisite time in to finish them. I type this now from the road, where I'm on my way to a consulting gig, for instance. Good news? I've spoken with my supervisors about the need to work fewer hours at the lab, and they assure me they'll be able to accomodate as summer goes on. The other good news - it might be a moot point as this consulting business I am currently starting may mean an end to such extra gigs, entirely. Either way, I am fully committed to keeping Sylvanna going, despite recent downtime.

Now, I totally understand that may not be enough for those of you who contributed to the Kickstarter, and I would be happy to hear you out on how I can make amends, personally. Please shoot me an email to dawnbest@outlook.com and I promise I'll make it right. :)

All the best, guys! Sorry for the lateness in my reply!

Dawn

Sylvanna is back with a new page!

Go read it!

[ezioauditore97]

Xixa's quickly turning into the cutest cartoon/anthro-ish mix between Galadriel and Tikal with a little bit of Mavis from FT added in.

Really happy to see it back for the Summer and to see where the story goes from here.

I emailed my art into the email address so it could be put on the site but it still hasn't been added. :/

[NxtWaltDisney]

Anyone see the last page of Year one chapter 1? That was pretty cool. It's weird...It was a short part but it felt like a long time coming.

[Illustrious Q]

That's because it was. XD

Night, can you re-send your fanart to hondachick@gmail.com? Had quite a few spambots come through back at the beginning of the year and must have just missed your submission! I would love to add it!

Sure was - entirely my fault too. Sorry for the wait on it as *stuff* hit the fan in February there and held on tight until recently - I am happy to say I am 5 weeks ahead on work for the series at this point so we shouldn't have downtime for the foreseeable future. :)

So the giant psycho bird god is alive for like 5 minutes & already declares war on the bats?! :shock: He doesn't waste time at all!
