Hmmm...

 So...the comic will be going on hiatus soon for season 3. I know there hasn't been a lot going on in season 2 but rest assured, that's about to change. This comic is dear to my heart, and big things are coming with it. O e of those things is that I've decided to begin work on the book format once more. This way you'll  all be able to enjoy it as a novel as well in the future.

Other new things happening are my hand drawn comic. We're finishing up the cover art for it and workshopping a name now, so expect progress soon. 

Anyway, that's all for now.

It's been a while

 I haven't been active on here for a while and I'm sorry about that. However, I don't want to spend forever on here apologizing. I want to know what you guys think. I want to get some input on a decision I'm thinking of making. 

For a while now I've been unhappy with how my comic is going on webtoon. I'm working on redoing it, making it better, making it flow more like how it's book style format does, and yet I don't feel like it's really my art style. I feel like I'm still coming into my style as an artist.

What I mean by that is that I've always just drawn what I've seen. I can look at a cartoon character and draw them without fail almost every time, but drawing my own characters, what I picture in my own mind, it's a lot harder. 

Now, don't get me wrong, I love Ruyn's Game. It's my baby, but it needs changed. It needs updated. The characters need to become their truest versions of what I want them to be and I can't do that right now with how I feel. I want it to be better and it's going to be, but it takes time. 

So here's the decision I need to make. Do I continue posting every week, things I may not be happy with and then going back and fixing them later? Or do I finish this season's comic and go on hiatus until I fix the things I want to fix and then begin work on the new stuff only when I'm ready for it to begin instead of rushing to put things out?

I know how I feel on the matter, but I need your help. As my readers you help me to keep this going. I only have 7 followers and one of them is myself, but the comic has already been viewed 400 times as of this morning. I don't want to lose followers or views, but I can't let it be something I'm not proud of in the end. Please help me decide what I should do going forward.

Wow I suck at Keeping up with this

 I guess the title says it all on this one. I'm not good at keeping up with postibg on a blog, though I doubt that this even gets read by a lot of you. It's not really that big of deal, just that I'm not good at this really.

Anyway, the comic is coming along. This week's page is going to surprise everyone. It's already surprised me. I think it's probably the best so far, other than last week's Easter post. That one was fun to draw. I especially loved giving them bunny ears and Alarik's startled expression at Marisol leaning on him. She's usually not one for physical contact. Lol. I can't wait for you to see what's next.

On the topic of the comic, there's going to be some changes made to past pages. I'm reworking some things here and there, making text bigger and easier to read and redrawing some of the panels. It's all so that I can progress on getting the comic ready for It's first printing run. Not sure when that's going to be yet, but I'll keep you all as informed as I can. Until then, keep watching for new things to come.

New Things Happening

  So, all of you have probably read the newest page by now and you're probably wondering: What comes next? Where is this going? 

Well, I'm here to give you a sneak peek in a way. 

You see, the comic is based up of multiple parts and multiple characters, each with their own story and part to play in the grand scheme of things, and it reads in chapters so to speak. Right now we're in Chapter One. It's lengthy I know and probably comfusing at best, but I want you to understand each character before they enter the game. I want you to get to know them, to love them, to hate certain ones of them. I want you to feel some kind of emotion when you read these pages. Please be patient with me. I'm planning big things and I want you all to be excited for them.

Marisol and Alarik's story is just beginning. They have a long way to come for it to be complete. There are still more people involved. There are still things that no one other than Ruyn knows, things I, as the author, don't even know. I think the great Stan Lee thought along similar lines when he wrote comics. You don't know what's going to happen until you're drawing it. You don't know what the characters are going to do until they've done it and it's on the page. I mean, there's an outline, but it doesn't make sense until you see it there for yourself. Remember, this story was first an rp with a friend, then it was a book idea...now it's so much more than that. It's becoming something I'm gonna be proud of. It's becoming something I want to keep doing. 

I hope you all enjoy it. I hope you like Marisol and Alarik. I hope you see some part of yourselves in the pages to come...and I hope you understand why I've done the things I've done.

I'm really bad at keeping up with this

 Hi guys, so things have been a little crazy lately. I'm working on the comic day by day but it's going to need some updates and revising before we make it to the physical print stage. I'm hoping to be able to get that done after this first chapter is completed.

That being said, after the first chapter is finished there may be a short hiatus while revisions are made for getting it ready for print. The story will be the same, just the characters and scenery will get a slight update for their final looks. I'm actually really looking forward to it and I hope you guys will be too.

It's been a while

 Sorry about not posting as much lately guys. Some things have come up in my day to day life and while I know that's no excuse, I thought you should all know why the comic is delayed this week.

Ruyn's Game means a lot to me and I don't want to put out pages that aren't quite finished, but this week I have no choice due to medical issues. 

This past week I had to go up to Carle Hospital in Champaign for some testing due to my hometown doctor saying that something is wrong. They thought maybe it was an autoimmune disease, the first round of tests came back positive. They sent me to a specialist. They ran a second round of tests. I won't know until the 3rd what they found out. The specialist thinks it may just be fibromyalgia. If that's the case then it's a better diagnosis, but still not great. She prescribed a new pain med for me in the meantime. It makes me tired, but I'm still trying to get things done. It's just that right now there's a lot going on.

I'm sorry that this week's comic isn't ready yet. I'm sorry that I may have to post a sneak peek instead of a full page, but my health is more important and I hope that you all will understand.

New stuff Coming

 So the second page of Ruyn's Game is almost finished and will be posted early on Sunday. I'll also be creating an album specifically on Facebook for Ruyn's game so that it won't get misplaced with the other things I'll be posting.

Currently I'm looking at the different platforms of web-comics I like to read. I'm thinking about posting the comic on Webtoon which holds some of my favorite comic series currently and would be good for our growth in the future. I'm hesitant about it right now, but I may give it a try and see how it goes.

Anyway, the other new stuff is some fanart I'm working on. I have at least 2 new pieces for you all to see.

Here's to Sunday being right around the corner! I'll keep you all posted!
