Krakatoa walks the corridors of the monastery, in search of Bartholomew.

For the next few weeks, art chores on this comic will be taken over by the fantastic Aggie of American Gothic Daily, a dark romance comic with vampires set in rural Tennessee. Aggie has also done some lovely fan arts for ROCR and has been taking part in both CameoComic and Evil Overlords United, adding her quirky touches to the latter several times a week.

For the same period that Aggie's working on Feral, I'll be taking over art chores on American Gothic Daily. We've been enjoying this swap a lot, and hope you will too; we do things very differently from how they've been done in our respective comics, but that's a big part of the fun!

NOTE: Many of the earlier pages of Feral are still for sale through my ComicSpace galleries, where you can see what they look like in their uncoloured, un-inked state. They're pretty cheap too, and all pages sold will be shipped with a colour print of the finished product.

Note to everyone who has my cell phone number

Like a moron, I put my trousers in the washer with my cell phone still in them (it was pretty much the only time in history I had my cell phone in a trouser pocket to start with). Needless to say, you can't call me on it right now. Strangely, the Internet says it might well blink back to life, but it's gonna take a day or two.

I'll live.



Concluding the art swap, and what happens next

Aggie has already announced it in her newsblog so it's time I did the same. The art swap we've been doing will end in June, and Aggie will return to drawing American Gothic Daily herself. However, she will continue drawing Feral for a little longer. The reasons for that are simple: Aggie is a faster artist than me, she wants to see me write the story towards the end and is willing to twist my arm into writing it, and I want to get back to that other ROCR storyline, Invasion, which I've now scripted to the end. So she'll continue to draw Feral while I write it and work on Invasion (and both of us hold down full-time jobs).

The response to the swap has been interesting. Initially, a lot of AGD fans didn't like my style, but as I evolved towards the penc...



Extra catch-up update plus coloured version of page for April 8

Colour version of Page 48 of Feral Aggie's been very busy (and very lovely, but that's a whole 'nother matter). Not only has she done a
Thursday update in colour to catch up with the one-a-week schedule, but she's also gone back and added watercolours to the update for April 8. That one, in which Krakatoa dreamed of running with a pack of wolves, was already one of the best pages in the sequence she's done, but it's even better now, so go have another look at it.

Of course, uploading it to the mirror site at Webcomicsnation accomplished nothing but the breaking of that particular archive page, because Webcomicsnation has been a bit crappy lately. But that's a whole 'nother story.

Meanwhile, I've also been busy with dra...
