And here we have the initial sketches Matias made of this week’s pages. Hope you enjoy them. Matias’ really tried to focus on some cool imagery and symbolism.
While I’ve got your attention, please do us a favor and vote for us over on TWC, and check out the current art contest they’re hosting. It has some fun art up on it :)

Hey all!
Nick and I have been talking about adding some new features and types of posts to the website to fill out the week around and between page updates. One of those was the idea of sharing some of the sketches and early inks of pages on Saturdays. There will be some other additions that I’ll reveal as the weeks go forward. So without further ado, I give you the very first rough sketch Seba made of this page. Err..rather, I gave you that above, and hoped that you came all the way down here to read about it :D
What do you think? Any particular suggestions any of you might have for content we could share on different days?
EDIT: Seba wanted me to make sure you all knew that Seba drew this page trying to match the first panel of the next page, drawn by Matias, to provide a bit more continuity. So check back on Monday to see the original panel that Seba based this on ;)

Actually, the joke is that there is no joke. Think about that one.
News update and stuff. We ended up taking 2nd in the vote contest through Top Web Comics we’ve been talking about for awhile. We couldn’t get 1000 votes in a day like the other guy somehow did. Magically.
But, the contest organizers are giving us all the same rewards to acknowledge and reward our hard work promoting them. If you go to their main page you should see a blurb up at the top (permalink in case it changes). I love the word choice used. I recommend you read it yourself ;) You’ll also see that we have a GIF ad up, as one of the rewards for 2nd place. Having that ad has brought up our page views to an average of 2000 a day this last week. That plus the new Top 100 ranking for April (vote, btw) has us today at almost 4000 page views!
So as stressful and annoying as the contest was (which I won’t really get into here), it was beneficial, and got a lot more eyes on our project. Heck, some of you reading this might even have come from clicking our ad or something. Welcome! ;)
Anyways, just wanted to give you an update on everything. Stay tuned for a new page on Thursday by Seba. You’ll really enjoy it :D
