There's a new update today for Invasion, introducing some new characters late in the game.

Invasion will update again on Friday, August 8.

In fact, weekly updates will be pretty much assured for the next month or so. It will also update on the ROCR archives, though it won't be shown on the front page there.

There's a lot being added to the archives. Stealth updates are underway for The Lives of X!Gloop and once that's done, for The Eye of the Underworld. I'll unveil those as complete archives when they're done. They've been milked more than enough over the past few years for me not to feel like I should run them on the front page, but I do want them under the WillowCMS umbrella now.

I've got some more character art for sale through my Comicspace galleries. This time it's four nude character drawings, of Abui, Sash, Kel and Shireen, made in preparation for the Feral and Invasion storylines. Because they're nudes, only members of Comicspace can see them, but signing up is easy and safe (and if you sign up, you can see all my other galleries, mark some as your favourites and join my friends list there, which is one good way for a reader to help raise my profile just a little bit).

Sizes range from A4 (210 x 297 mm) to A4+ (297 x 370 mm) and prices range from $20 to $40, depending on the size and my subjective assessment of what they're worth - if you disagree with my assessment, you might get a bargain! As with all character art pieces, shipping is free if you also buy any item from the Invasion or Feral galleries!

All right, so I speeded things up a little. Invasion updated today, Friday August 1, and will update weekly from now until the end of the storyline. This update is unusual in that all the art was done by me, but the colouring was done by regular collaborator Calvin Bexfield, whose normal input consists of scene visualisations and backgrounds.

This weekend, I'll work on the unfinished updates, finishing one and getting two to scanner-readyness. Hopefully, I'll be able to draw one more as well. The whole series is scripted to the very end, so it should be relatively easy from here on.

I'm finally picking up the pace on Invasion again. Here's what I've got so far:
Page 109: Coloured, not lettered.
Page 110: Lettered, partly coloured. Two different colourists were involved in these pages.
Page 111: Scanner-ready.
Page 112: Characters inked.
Page 113: Characters inked.

Amazingly, most of the work was done in the past week. I expect Invasion to start updating again, as a weekly, next week.
