Episode 62: No Hugs Posted on 29 Mar 2009 by Spritescaper
For some reason I can't fathom, this one took a lot longer to make than it should have. I've been working on Spritescape on and off for well over 3 years now (with scant little to show for it I might add), and it amazes me that not only haven't I gotten any faster in putting these comics together, I've actually gotten slower at it. Thing is, I don't think the comic-making process has gotten any more technically complex since I first started out. I guess I've just gotten jaded.
Still trying to settle on a fixed update day. March was essentially an experiment of sorts, and my reliability has been shaky at best. This is something I'll need to work on. Thanks to the loyal few for your continued encouragement.
As it stands, I estimate this entire story arc to conclude anywhere from Episode 100 to 150-ish. Obviously, there's a lot more planned for the "Nymph Saga" than has been revealed. With any luck, I'll have this chapter finished sometime before the apocalypse.
Brainstorming for the second saga has already begun; at the rate I'm going however, chances are I'll be dead long before any of these ideas ever make it into comic form. How's that for a depressing thought?
Episode 61: Tweet Tweety Tweeting Tweet Posted on 12 Mar 2009 by Spritescaper
What can I say? It's been a pretty wrist-slit-inducing week, to say the least. Midterms, along with finals, is truly the bane of my very existence... I'm sure many of you can relate.
At any rate, new update is finally up. Also, the Fanworks page has been updated. This is a bit of a milestone for me seeing as it's the first NSFW fanart I've ever received. Props to Kinuchio for being the lucky contributor. I've said it before and I'll say it again: receiving fanart is one of the primordial joys of being a webcomic artist, and I am no exception.
I'll cut this short since I've got a bit more cramming to do. I don't know about you guys, but I'll be the happiest guy alive once spring break comes around.
Episode 60: To See Green Summers Again Posted on 01 Mar 2009 by Spritescaper
As I stated previously, Spritescape is back, this time for good. I don't have the details quite worked out yet, but you can expect new updates to be available online somewhere in the vicinity of the weekend each week. I know a few of you guys have asked for an RSS feed in the past... I'm working on it.
In case it isn't clear by now, I'm taking the whole "being a reliable webcomic artist for a change" thing very seriously this time around. If you personally know anyone who stopped reading this comic due to infrequent updates, do tell them to consider coming back. Also, if you know anyone who might be interested in becoming a new reader, please take a moment to drop them a link here; word-of-mouth can be a powerful thing. Besides, and I really don't mean to sound egotistical, the world can use less crappy sprite comics.
As for the comic itself, I'm glad I can finally feature a change in scenery; the quasi-3D background I used for the last few episodes were purely experimental and not at all as 'cool' as I had hoped. I doubt I'll be using something like it again, though it's fun to test new boundaries when it comes to this medium.
