Episode 1.3 Released: Fun with Full Pages

Episode 1.3 is now available here.

This episode has undergone some changes in the days before its release.  Originally 4 pages, I felt it could use a little something.  Now it’s essentially a two-parter. The full page panels were a lot of fun to create, and while 1.3 is short on dialogue, I like the short-lived suspense.  Nobody in the world of Princess Disasterface acts like they’re expected to, villains included!

Episode 1.3 introduces two villains vying for Xanador’s throne, and saves the third (the best for last) for the forthcoming Episode 1.4.  I absolutely love her.

To everyone dreading the end of summer, sorry about the snowy locale.  Northwest Xanador is a tough climate.

New Episode and Updates

Episode 1.2 of Princess Disasterface is now available.

I am oh-so-grateful to the team at SiteGround for fixing the technical issue I had.  Otherwise Episode 1.2 would have been out on Monday, I swear…!

Today, I added some navigation buttons to each episode above and below the content.  Should make things smoother for readers who need to catch up.

On Episode 1.0, I made things a little less smooth.  All those patterned backgrounds looked great when I was making them, but it was a touch grating on the eyes when stacked up on a lit screen/in a white background.  That’s why I threw in some dividers between pages (there’s generally 3-4 per episode, FYI).

Someday I’ll go back and edit all those mistakes I made when I was young and new to making comics…by which I mean a couple months younger than I am now.  But hey, there’s a learning curve.

Enjoy, and have a great one.

Comics are here!

The first two episodes of Princess Disasterface are up! Find them in the TOC here.

I’ve always wanted to make a comic, and hopefully I’ll have time to develop more in the future.  Right now Bonni and my forthcoming YA fantasy novel are taking up all my time.

It’s been a lot of fun telling stories in a different way through comics, though. For me, this is one of those things I always wanted to do but could never quite get it going or didn’t have the time.  It took touch screen technology and a free app (Tayasui Sketches, which I’ve since upgraded to the paid version) to really open up the possibilities.

Here’s to doing the things you’ve always wanted to, no matter how long it takes!
