Watchers

Hey all!

I'll return with comics on January 18th.
Explanation below, for those of you who would like one.

It's been a while since I last updated here, mostly because I haven't had much to share, and it feels silly to be excusing my absence every time I do write something.
That said 2012 came with a few changes for me, regarding life, work and most of everything else.

Most notably work; I have a part-time job in order to pay rent and such (rather than fretting over this every month due to working as a freelance artist), and this job is in the process of moving.
Which is a complete and utter chaos.
How chaotic?
As I came to work the first day of the year (well, technically the second) it turns out they don't have any work for me. At all. So I start looking for work, thinking it would have been nice of them to tell me this a little sooner. Then they suddenly do have work for me; the (new) boss has transferred me to the other shop (without notifying me). No big deal, except nobody told me this until the very day I was supposed to be there. I feel they could at least tell me what is going on. Or send me my workhours a day before I'm supposed to start? Maybe I'm high maintenance, but knowing I'm supposed to be there would make it a bit easier to turn up for work on time.
That, and I suddenly have to travel 1,5 hours by bus each way. That makes 3 hours in total. Which steals a lot of time I'd rather be doing something else.
So I've started looking for work elsewhere, and am even considering buying a car in order to cut down on travel-time. Whichever happens first, I suppose.
This steals a lot of time from comics and art, but hopefully things will be sorted out pretty soon. And I've managed to cramp in a few hours of sketching, so I feel confident that I'll be able to return to updating this Wednesday.
Other than that there really isn't much to tell.

Hope you are all well and that 2012 will be a great year for all of you!

Hugs!

Just read all of BatB. I love what you've done with the story. I can't wait to see what happens!

You're welcome! ^^ and not to worry. Having been working on my own comic, I understand how life gets in the way of updates...

Hey, thanks a lot! I'm glad you like it:D
Believe me, I fully intend to continue the story, I'll even complete it! (Don't worry, it won't be abandoned)
And I'd have a hard time deciding between those two myself;)

Your welcome. The story is cool. Sorry its not my place to comment, but why dont you change a little their names? Its a bit hard to pronounce their names, you know. Anyway, keep going.

P.S. Your BEAST is different from disney version(I dont say that I dont like disney version, but I like more your version of beast). As for the prince, I am enchanted by his eyes and smile(OH THAT SMILE AND LOOK IN HIS EYES).

No problem, criticism is appreciated:)
I'm afraid I'm going to stick with their names, though, as I'd only confuse myself trying to change them after two years.
As for the names being hard I'm afraid that might be due to me being norwegian; we combine letters and sounds a little differently. This wasn't something I put much thought into when I started writing the story (in Norwegian), and yeah, well... The names stuck:)
Hurray! I tried making him as far from the Disney version (which is adorable!) as possible, exploring a beast that looked more human but not entirely.
- He has a rather nice smile, doesn't he? :D
