Although I was unable to get a table, I will be attending Ohana Comic Con @ Blue Lake Casino, Oct. 26-27. That’s this weekend! I’ll be roaming around talking to people and having fun. Look for a guy wearing a denim cap with Pacifica buttons and a “Ask me about my so-so art” pin. Say hi if you see me and I might have some buttons or stickers for you!
I wasn’t completely happy with page 20, so I took some time today to add in some vocalizations for the sal-kin. It’s something I originally wanted to do, but skipped for the sake of getting the new page up. I think it really improves the overall look of the page and is more immersive for the reader.
Pacific giant salamanders do have vocal capabilities and will “bark” when agitated. So this sound effect is meant to be something like a cross between a croak and a bark. I imagine it’s what a large part of their language sounds like, especially the angry words.
In other news, I have next week off the day job. Hopefully I should be able to finish up page 21 then.
Thanks everyone for sticking around and reading the comic!
If you’re looking for a replacement for Project Wonderful to trade or buy ads for your comic project then you might want to give ComicAd Network a shot. I never got a chance to post ads for PW, but I’m going to try out CAN for a while and see how it does. They focus specifically on ads for comics, which I like.
I have placed a couple ad boxes: one in the sidebar and one on the links page. I don’t think they’ll be too intrusive and hopefully you’ll find some interesting comics there soon.
From what I’ve heard, ad revenue in this day of ad blockers is not viable so I don’t expect much from it. ComicAd Network doesn’t seem to be doing anything new, so it probably won’t last too long, but I figure it can’t hurt to try and if it earns me some extra change and some page views then nothing lost.
It would be cool if they come up with some new twist that makes this work and they stick around for a while. Hopefully they realize that just doing the same thing Project Wonderful did isn’t going to work in the long run and they’re brain storming new angles to incorporate. Good luck, CAN!
