Something is going on here…

—
Today is International Abolition Day and the first day of the Comic Creator’s for Freedom Fundraiser. All the money raised by the fundraiser will go directly to Love 146 an organization that fights to end human trafficking across the world. Because there are so many comic artists participating this year, as little as $30 per comic needs to be raised in order for the fundraising goal to be met. Also, if you donate, you’ll get a copy of a really awesome wallpaper featuring artwork from every participating artist. This year’s theme is awkward school photos, so you know you’re in for a treat. You can also check out the Comic Creator’s for Freedom Facebook page, for a sneak peak at how awesome the finished wall paper is.

I spent a lot of time looking forward to the start of Chapter 10 that I don’t think I talked much about Chapter 11. This is another chapter I’ve been excited about for some time now. A new character is about to make a big splash. In fact, the waves she’s about to make are so huge that she even gets a cover page before being properly introduced. -insert more water puns here-

In all seriousness though, there’s a reason the last two chapters were called The Calm and Before the Storm. Not necessarily because of the new character but because of everything that happens in this chapter.

I posted 2 out of 3 parts of a tutorial up in the extras section. I used what I think is the least spoiler-y panel from Ch 11. Unfortunately, there is a bit of a minor spoiler in part three and so I won’t be posting that part until January.

Also, I made some small changes to the site over the weekend in preparation for a bigger layout overhaul that’s going to be happening at some point in the next few months. After this chapter is over I’m going to make the pages a bit bigger and the site layout needs to grow to accommodate that change. I don’t think any of the changes will be too drastic but it’s something that is coming up.

Also, also, I got rid of all the blog posts. I never used them and should have turned off that functionality a long time ago.

The problem with being dead is watching others grow old and die. Astor never wanted to be friends with Meg, but once Meg figured out his game the friendship was inevitable. Of course, why did Astor help Meg when he didn’t want a friend…he was kind of, sort of starting to tell the truth way back in Chapter 4. Meg really is the last of a lineage, a lineage stemming from Astor’s brother. She’ll never know. He’d never tell. Astor’s been secretly and not so secretly helping out the descendents of his brother’s family for generations. He hasn’t always been successful, Meg wouldn’t be the last surviving family member if he was, but helping gave his afterlife some focus. Since Meg and Astor float in and out of the story, very little of their history will ever be touched on in the plot.

I’m so happy with the way the middle panel turned out. I’m not very comfortable with drawing backgrounds so whenever one turns out half way decent, I feel pretty good about my self. That us until I run up against the next background. I’m a bit relieved that the port city won’t show up again for a few more chapters; it gives me a chance to get good enough with drawing backgrounds to do justice to the city’s appearance.

Wallpapers have been added to the site. They’re not entirely the same for every resolution but I hope you enjoy.

Bjorn has no clue that the Monarch ordered the guards not to pursue. If Fae didn’t have extremely dumb luck*, there’d be a huge bounty on Bjorn and Fae’s heads right about now.

While I’ve ended the last several chapters on pages like this one, this in not the last page in the chapter but the start of the final scene in the chapter.

*Fae’s “luck” is entirely and unwittingly self made. Bjorn was able to easily deduce who she is; other’s can do the same if they see Fae use an ability and they are familiar with Demi Lineage abilities (most people aren’t, however). Since Enya and Adrik are not familiar with “current” Demi Lineage abilities (Demi Lineages use to be much stronger), they didn’t think there would be a problem as long as Fae’s magical signature was masked. Enya nor Adrik, also, didn’t take into account individuals, like Bjorn, who are good at reading magical signatures and who would be able to identify Fae by her lack of one if/when she used an ability.

Beware the long News post of Dooooooooom!

A world section is slowly being added to the site (expect the posted pages to change a little bit over the next few weeks). Also, world pages have the potential for minor spoilers, warnings will be at the top of every world page soon. I’ll also have wallpapers and tutorials up within the next week or so (maybe a little longer on a tutorial). I’m adding all the extras to the site as they are requested, so please don’t hesitate to speak up if there’s anything else you would like to see.

After looking through the archives to get a feel for what all to include on upcoming world and race pages for the website, I’ve decided that I really need to re-draw and write the earlier pages. I noticed that some things that I thought were clear on those pages when I first posted them are not clear in hindsight. Especially with some of the art. I’m not going to take away from future updates to accomplish this task but this is definitely something I should do sooner rather than later. I’ll likely post the revised pages by scene and will keep you posted on what to expect. When I first re-started Eternity Complex I promised myself that what goes online stays online as a sanity check against constantly revising old pages at the expense of new updates; however, sometimes promises need to be broken a little to make things right. Hope you enjoy the revised pages when they go up!

You may have noticed the new banner off to the right. Comic Creators for Freedom is starting back up. The donation drive will be held from Dec 2-14. All of the money raised is going to help end human trafficking. Here’s some information about Comic Creators for Freedom taken directly from the site:

“The People:
We’re a group of Comic Book Creators, who have come together, volunteering our artistic talents to raise money for the purpose of ending human trafficking in the world today.

“The Problem:
There are currently 27 million enslaved people worldwide- more than double the number of enslaved Africans during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. UNICEF estimates that 1.2 million children every year are sold into slavery, most of it sexual. The US Department of Justice estimates 16,000 victims of human trafficking are brought into the United States every year.

“The Project:
Webcomic Creators from all over the world are working together on a single drawing which will be available as a downloadable wallpaper for readers who donate to our fund raising drive! December 2nd-14th!”

For more information and how to get involved with the project please visit the Comic Creators for Freedom site.

Edit: Forgot to mention that updates are now back to the regular Mon/Thurs schedule.

“Please” is Astor’s current go to word; he’ll change to a new word when he gets bored. Astor wouldn’t be Astor if he wasn’t messing with people.

This is the last week for one page a week updates. Yay! In addition to slowly trying to build the buffer back up over this past month, I’ve been trying to update Eternity Complex’s online listings on various websites (inkOutbreak, ComicRocket, TWC, ect…) because I’ve definitely let a lot of things slide. I’d also like to add extra stuff to Eternity Complex’s site but I don’t know what you, the readers, would like to see. Is there something specific you would like to see added to the site? Anything you really like? Dislike? Any topics you would like me to write about with each new page? Anything you would like to see done with social media?

I’m open to what ever suggestions you have for making things better/more interesting/inviting around here. I’d like to give you something back for reading Eternity Complex but I’m not really sure where to start. Plus, I’d like to add things that you want to see.
