Jacqueline Preview 2
June 24th, 2014Hello! It’s Diane again, here to bring you the next sneak peek at hiatus redesigns. Tonight we have Naty’s colors for Jacqueline. On Friday we’ll showcase Julie’s headshots, followed by our return to the comic starting Monday!
Jacqueline Preview 1
June 22nd, 2014Hello everyone. It’s Eric. I’m back from medical leave. My second daughter came home from the hospital last Friday after her heart surgery. She’s sitting her next to me in the bouncy chair. She’s quite noisy, which is a good thing. She can now get a good head of steam up and bellow with the best of them.
This week’s hiatus preview is Jacqueline. She’s Vivienne’s best friend and aide-de-camp. As I was writing the script for Volumes 3 and 4, I wanted to make a change to her background. More of an elaboration really. There was quite a lot of intermarriage between the settlers of New France and the First Nations. I wanted to reflect that in this story with Jacqueline’s background and make her one-quarter Elakanois. Julie did an outstanding job of trying to keep her close enough to her previous look while giving her a slight native influence.
Cienan Preview 3
June 20th, 2014Wrapping up our hiatus sneak peeks this week is a series of headshots by Julie to showcase our redesign for Cienan. Come back next week to see one final character redesign – Jacqueline! Per the usual order, we’ll showcase a sketch by Julie on Monday, colors by Naty on Wednesday, and headshots by Julie on Friday. After that, we’re jumping back into the story with the return of Chapter 9 on June 30!
Cienan Preview 1
June 15th, 2014Welcome back to our hiatus updates, going on for just another 2 weeks before the comic pages resume! Our spotlight falls on Cienan’s redesign this week, beginning with a fantastic sketch by Julie. Come back on Wednesday to see Naty’s colors, and Friday to see Julie’s expressive headshots.
Vivienne Preview 3
June 12th, 2014To wrap up the previews of Vivienne’s redesign, check out these great headshots by Julie. Next week we’ll continue our hiatus updates with our next featured character redesign… Cienan! Julie and Naty really nailed his character, so come back here to see a sketch on Monday, colors on Wednesday, and headshots on Friday.
The comic itself resumes on June 30!
Vivienne Preview 2
June 10th, 2014Check out Naty’s colors for the redesign of Vivienne in today’s hiatus update! On Friday we’ll be bringing you some of Julie’s headshots to continue the usual pattern, and next week we’ll reintroduce a sneaky character in these sneak peeks.
I’ve also added in a little visual reminder on the index page that the story will resume on June 30! Story pages will be posted on Mondays and Wednesdays with Almanac updates posted on Fridays.
Vivienne Preview 1
June 8th, 2014Kudos to those of you who guessed Vivienne would be next in our lineup of hiatus previews! I couldn’t pick out which sketch was my favorite, so have three from Julie. On Wednesday we’ll be posting Naty’s colors, per our usual pattern.
Ald Preview 3
June 5th, 2014Welcome back to hiatus updates with Diane! Take a look at these expressive headshots of Ald by Julie. This practice sketching with the cast has really helped her get their characters down.
Next week we’ve got another redesign of a prominent cast member to show off for you. At this point, you can probably hazard a good guess who would be next on our list of major characters. I’ll give you a hint: come back on Monday to see Julie’s sketch of her redesign!
