Just updated Joyride to Wordpress 2.8.5. I also upgraded some minor plugins, and I will be updating Comicpress.

I’m leaving comments on for this post, so if you notice anything broken, please report it here.

Thank you <3

Sorry for the quietness over here. My mom’s back was badly hurt and she could barely move, so I had to take over all her work.

Luckily she’s improving a lot by now. So probably there will be a new page by tomorrow :3

If I’m not certain I can keep a promise, I won’t make it. And that, friends, is why there is no “official” update schedule for Joyride… life is rather fond of surprising me with stuff like this, stuff I have no control over and stuff that has higher priority than Joyride.

So I’ve been experimenting with video — recording myself drawing, then playing it back on fast forward to see how it looks.

Done this twice now; the second time was yesterday as I was drawing page 13. :V Wanna check it out? I’ve uploaded it.

Just one thing you have to be aware of: there are a few lapses where I forgot to hit ‘record’ on my screen recorder, so small chunks of progress are missing here and there. I think you’ll still be able to get the general idea though xD You can see where I cut up a photo of a Butterfinger that I shot!

Anyway, here we are. Many hours of wrist abuse compressed into a few minutes for your viewing pleasure!

And next up, this one is the first time I tried recording myself:

The character I’m drawing in that clip will be in Joyride in a few acts C:

If you’re an “old” reader from before the refresh, please remember not to mention details which would be spoilers to first time readers in the comments.

Of course, I can understand where this would be difficult, because you’re probably not sure what’s a spoiler and what isn’t (meaning, you’re not sure if what happened in the old version of the comic will happen in the new version).

With the new script, I know it seems almost like a different comic, but all the major plot details are still the same. So If you’ve asked “I wonder if *insert major spoiler here* still happens in this version of the comic,” the answer is most likely yes :D

If it was important enough to have been a major spoiler in the old version, it’s almost certainly a major spoiler in this version, too.

Having said all that, if you’re not sure if your comment contains a spoiler or not, don’t worry, just post it anyway. I don’t wanna make things complex or scare away would-be commenters.

Anyway, I’m very happy to see so many new readers and so many good old loyal readers at the same time! 8D Love you guys! ♥

Since certain IRL contacts of mine are nosey schizophrenics with stalker-like tendencies, I had to go back and edit past posts which referred to certain recent IRL events. Now it just says “Stuff Hapening” where it used to say what, specifically, was happening.  

This post might disappear after a bit, too.

Ugh. Anyway, don’t mind it.

Stuff Happening is over now, so updates are back to normal for the rest of the month (and beyond), and a new page will be up soon.
