Chapter 2 – 21, 22
Old pages: http://stargazersgate.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/page47-48.jpg
Edit: Walla! Finished the page. More or less. Might poke it some more later. Hit refresh if you’re still seeing the old page. The new pages has 100% more lens flares. If you saw the unshaded version it should give you a good idea of how ridiculously much time I spend on shading (though I cheat a lot). Anyway, gotta give my arm a rest. Of course I have a bazillion commissions to do this month still. Don’t forget to read the COMIC OF THEEEEEEEEE WEEK linked below.
Sorry, guys. I thought I could do it, but I can’t feel my freakin’ arm anymore and now it really hurts, so I’m gonna stop while I’m ahead. Inks and partially colored. I overestimated my ability to do art for hours at a time. The light things on the roof are going to be (you guessed it) lights and the exterior view will be painted up a little (lot in some cases) more. Like the city at the bottom? I just desaturated the colors the thing generated, it is NOT gonna be that weird of colors. I figured after all this time you’d rather have a part page than a no page!
If you’re impatient to read something, why not read the COMIC OF THE WEEK! It is Damsels Don’t Wear Glasses! This is an urban fantasy comic about an ass-kicking heroine who also wears glasses. Now, I’m not so sure on this damsels not wearing glasses thing because my mom totally wears glasses and is also totally a damsel, but the main character, Lave, here is a no-nonsense, don’t need no man kinda gal. In fact, it’s usually the male character who’s the ‘damsel’. The art’s pretty unusual for webcomics, and quite frankly, while I read the hell out of this genre in novels I can’t think of too many other webcomics like this. Maybe like… Shadowbinders? That’s a pretty lofty comparison, but anyway, I think you’ll like it. It’s certainly way less slow paced than my comic, anyway. I mean, something freakin’ blows up within the first three pages.

Abe: I’m trying to rest until I’m better but after a week of resting I get so IMPATIENT. :D
Genesee: Wooooo NSAIDs. Fortunately I had a stash of perscription strength ones from the time I did in my wrist… the doc gave me way more than I needed! Diclofenac to the rescue! And Advil! And menthol! And hot water! I’m pretty sure that what I did was tear the thingy in there a little bit because at first I didn’t have a full range of motion and it made weird popping noises but now I can move my arm properly, just if I overdo it it freakin’ hurts. Like now. :D I’m not gonna try snooping in my computer right now but I believe I have all of my PCI type slots jammed full of stuffs. Got a Wifi thing and a USB thing, I think. If you want to donate me anything the RAM would be best, I think!
Three cheers for Advil. :D
Naleta: Man, chronic shoulder issues would be SO much worse though. I know that given another week I’ll be perfectly fine! Thanks!
auron: Blaming Hitler seems reasonable.
anonymus: Hey, thanks! The previous pages are for you guys to enjoy. But I want to make new pages as much as you guys want to read them. >___>

What speed RAM? How big a chip can your MoBo take? Lemme know.
Any consolation is I tore my ACL in half, and I don’t do art for very much time at a stretch, or it goes numb.
Get yours healed, or fixed, don’t wait until it is too late, like I did. They can’t fix mine now.
I have a PCI-2 video card if you need it….
Gosh, I hope you heal up well.
I like the art on the page your comic is so mysterious
Your lack of comments is disturbing (I have been wanting to ask how you learned to draw so well)
Also before I forget I wanted to say good job getting so far without attracting the attention of the bad webcomics wiki
Hope yeh are healin’ up o.k., ma’ thoughts are wi’ ye.
Rally, I hope you are o.k.
Oh, hey, you still extant? Are you in the hospital or something? Boo !!? Ms. Munro? Still there? You are scaring me, …
Aw, don’t be scared. I’m intact, just slow going. I’ve basically had to learn to work left handed, because I have such limited oomph in my right arm still. Here’s a sneaky preview of the next update. I’m working on it, just slowly. After seriously setting myself back trying to get updates out I just kind of gave up on it for a little while to try let my shoulder heal up. http://www.stargazersgate.com/?attachment_id=357
Updates are important.
Being able to DO them is more important. Heal first, then art. Before a big day, folks try to get a good night’s sleep. Prepare. — Then do! And enjoy the Win. Not the other way, which is Do– then regret, and wallow in Fail.
Be full of Win, heal up, then art.
