Enough of this “Hiatus” thing…

…It’s time to get down to business.

I’ve been a BAD artist…

…All not updating this site and whatnot. :P

I guess I should start this off by saying that despite comments left in my previous blog and on my forum (and on my Wikifur article, for that matter), I am not dead. Nor do I plan to be any time in the near future. I’m not going into details, but the situation was taken care of, and hopefully, we won’t have any more scares like that in the future.

But now let’s talk about site updating. As I type this, I’m planning and working on new comics. Okay, it’s more like *types a little* *stops to work on comic* *types a little more* *stops to work on comic more*, but you get the idea. :D I think my motivation to do this went way up today when I logged into my Zazzle store and discovered that someone bought the Arjur’s Epic Quote Mug that I made way back after the first comic and almost forgot about. Funny how the first product I make becomes the first product I sell. ^_^ After discovering this, I promptly did the following:

1) Fell over
2) Died
3) Came back to life
4) Was happy that I have a full $1.82 credited to my Zazzle account =3

I must celebrate this success somehow. I’ll find a way.

Speaking of updates and my store, I really have to give the store link on this site a major overhaul. It needs to be more organized, and I have to update the new stuff I’ve since added, like the variety of items featuring a cute picture of Raenur and Ferim. (Yes, each word is a different link.) I’ll be working on that, so don’t be surprised if the appearance of the store page looks dramatically different all of a sudden. ;)

And with that, I’m off to draw some more!

I don’t know what happened, either…

For some unexplainable reason, comics 3 and 4 got messed up and barely readable out of nowhere. They were perfectly fine and clear when I posted them originally (at least by my handwriting standards… ;) ), but now they’re all blocky and whatnot.

It’s a good thing I keep the paper copies neatly filed away–as my work space is usually horribly cluttered :roll: –because I might just have to re-scan and re-upload.

I’m sorry for the current mess that they are. I’ll get it fixed ASAP.

My fault…

I know it’s been a while since I’ve done anything to this site…I have one of those life things that tend to get in the way. :roll: But I haven’t stopped working on comics, and I hope to get some new ones up in the very near future.

And I’m seeing about getting my laptop fixed. If I can, that means I get to update more often with better quality comics! Yay! :)

Thanks for sticking with me!

An entire year already?!?

Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of the first Ralynkei comic ever posted! :D We haven’t gotten all that far since then( :roll: ), but this is a new year with new opportunities! Let’s see how well I can do the second time around! :)

The NEW new forums!

I’ve given FireForumz enough time, and they still haven’t come back. So I’ve decided to move on. Welcome, now to the third incarnation of the Ralynkei forums, this time hosted by Forumotion! With any luck, it won’t explode on me this time. :P

Join today!

Random lulz. Also updates.

I’ve been getting a lot of comments about my last Twitter update in the days since I posted it. For those that missed it and/or have no idea what the hell I’m talking about, here’s what I posted:

Let it be known that I don’t care for public restrooms…Especially when people explode in them…

This was posted after a horrifying incident in a library restroom. Let’s just say, I didn’t know you could shoot the walls with your ass. :shock:

This has started a pretty funny discussion in my Easter post on this site. But imagine my shock when, as I logged into Twitter, I found that I have a follower called “Restroom_Assoc”. :surprise:  Equally amusing was the reply I found on their page:

@Kyetsu Want to do a webcomic on our site? 6000 unique hits in an average month. More when we get on national media.

I have nothing to say to that…Srsly. :?

As far as updates go, I’m being patient with FireForumz right now. They’re supposed to be bringing the site back on new servers sometime in the next few days. Once that happens, we can start building up our little community again. :)

And I’m hoping to have new comics up by the end of the week. I’m finishing some up now, but I have to wait until I get paid again to post them, since I pay for scanning. :? One of these days, I’ll have my computer fixed, and I’ll invest in my own scanner for it. That’ll make my life a lot easier.

Moar changes!

I’m revamping the look of the site yet again. Website maintaining is an ever-changing progress. ;) Not only has the store been remade, but I’ve also cleaned up the Navigation links on the sidebar. You don’t have to go to a separate page to click on the weblistings links, so you can vote all you want from the main page! ;)

Also, I now have a link to my Zazzle store. Not only can you see non-Ralynkei products (should I ever make them. :roll: ), but you can check out new products, like the bumper sticker and magnet I created, before I update the store to show them! :D

And, as some of you have noticed, I now have “TwitNews”–a.k.a. Twitter updates–located on the sidebar. This makes it easier to update everyone on the site (and, to some extent, what I’m up to) without having to post new entries every time. And since I have it linked up to my phone, I don’t even have to be online to update it! ;)

And since I actually have today off of work (how did that happen? :? ), that gives me more comic-making time! :D I’m going to dedicate as much of today to comic drawing as I can, and hopefully, I can have new ones posted in the next couple of days.

One final note: The forums should be coming back soon. Fireforumz just bought new servers, and is in the process of updating the entire site. Hopefully, once that’s done, we can get the community started again! :D

I’ll keep everyone posted!

Check out the NEW store!

I remodeled Ralynkei’s store, so now the prices are based on each item type, not on each individual one. Looks cleaner that way. :) And in case you were wondering why the “Arjur’s Epic Story” shirt costs $25.05,  it’s because Zazzle made me tack on the extra five cents…But on the men’s shirt only. You save a nickel by getting a women’s shirt. :roll:

I’ll be adding more stuff in there soon, but I’m concentrating on comics right now. I did, however, make some stickers you can use to advertise the site. ;) Feel free to get some and stick ‘em places! :D

Until next time!

MySpace or Facebook?…Or both?

You might have noticed for a while that I have a MySpace page set up for Ralynkei. Well, I finally stopped being lazy about tweaking the Facebook version, so you can send me a friend request no matter which one you use. :D

So go ahead! Be my friend! ;)
