Hearts of Roese

Two Year Anniversary

Wow, Hearts of Roese has been up for two years!

I know I’ve had a pretty nasty track record on updating, but this week there are going to be six pages! Pages that count as new and old.

When I first launched this comic, I rushed through the Prologue because it holds information very important to the story, but I was so excited to start on the main storyline that I didn’t put the time into developing parts of the world I wasn’t quite sure of for those initial pages. In the two years since I’ve started the comic though, that development has happened and I am very excited about sharing the updated Prologue which will give peeks into the rest of the world the story takes place in.

Today, the redone page 1 has gone up. Check it out!

Here is page 2.

Page 3!

I will add the links here as the rest of the pages are replaced, and when they are all up I’ll put up a News announcement with all the links. The remaining 5 pages are all in the final stages of coloring, and will be put up one by one as I finish them.

Now to hope for some birthday cake to stuff my face with as I continue coloring.

Wondercon 2014 Artists Alley; Hiatus

I know, I know, it has been awhile since my last post here.

First things first:

I will be selling in the Artists Alley of Wondercon this weekend at table AA203

Related to this was my abrupt hiatus from the comic- I really wanted to have a print version of the Prologue and Chapter One available, and dropped most other art (and the current part of the story) in order to work on the redo of the Prologue. I got close-the pages are inked and the color flats are placed-but a mix of stress levels, needed edits that I wouldn’t print without fixing, and not wanting to rush the final colors of the new prologue all added up to where I’m going to slow down and make sure this looks nice and not rushed for when I get it printed.

What this means, is that next week the main storyline will start progressing again and a lovely new-drawn prologue will be posted later this year, as nice as it deserves to be.

In the meantime, here are some of the inks from the new prologue as a teaser for what I’ve been working on. (I didn’t spend the past month doing nothing!)
