The Legend of Lucy

Aren’t you guys glad you don’t have to wait all summer for more Lucy again? I sure am.

So, in case you weren’t aware, the name “Gaiden” is a Japanese word meaning “side story” or “tale.”  It has a lot of different contexts, but in this case, we’re going back to the past. But also i am totally using it as a reference to Ninja Gaiden. Our first story of the series will delve into Lucy at 16 years old, struggling to make it on her own. The next story will give us a glance of Glenda’s life before moving to Demonhead City. Finally, we’ll tie it up with how Yoko and Lucy met for the first time. I know you guys have been waiting for Yoko to come back! …Right?

In other news, I recently put up some new clothing and pins at my Zazzle store! Check ’em out! (click the images)

On top of that, I now have a RedBubble store selling some nice stickers! Check those out too!

So this is the last page to get regularly updated. Lemme take a bit to explain some things…

Simply put, my buffer ran out, and from now on, I’m going to have to post each new page as I finish them. This is kind of a blessing for me though, because I’ve been way too focused on getting my pages done in time, and the art has suffered for it, because let’s face it, some of those last few pages were just BADLY drawn. For that, I deeply apologize. From now on, though, I’m going to put all my focus into making each and every page as good as I can put out. You might also notice that I’m trying a different coloring style with this one. I’m currently trying to make the comic workable for print, and at the same time, I had to up the resolution. But for the coloring, I wanted something that was more simple to do, but still worked.

To summarize, updates will again be more or less sporadic. I can only hope you guys stick with me through this.

Man, how long has it been? July?! Wow, sorry guys. I’ve been leaving you hanging for a while, it seems. I know how much you guys love seeing what stupid shit I have to say!

Anyhoo, Hog Hunt has been running along nice and smooth now, though that might soon change. I guess sometimes I forget to realize that Lucy is still in it’s early years, and as such, I’m not as fully efficient as I could be. Speaking of which, I want to mention that after Hog Hunt wraps, I will begin working on three black-and-white filler stories, which I’m dubbing the “Gaiden” series. They’ll concentrate on events that took place before Order of the Scale, and unveil some history on our growing cast. There shouldn’t be too big a pause between stories this time around, and while I’m doing these, I’ll also be working on the next big story. It’ll be a good one!
