Okay not a real update, just an update of plans:

I am back from visiting Bell in the Netherlands and all stoked to get back to work on the next pages. I also figure I should fill everyone in on our plan since updates have been so sporadic lately and people have been speculating how long the comic will be and or/if it’s dead.

- Right now we are releasing what is of sorts an introduction/ budding relationship origin story to Adrian and Carter. That is what these first five chapters are.

- We are planning to have all five chapters plus extras published into a book by Fall 2012.

- That means that we will need to release and make pages faster than we have been doing. We are looking at mid-June to start releasing two pages a week.

- Pages should start getting released again next week.

How long is Always Raining Here going to be?

The overarching story has still has a tentative length, but we have an ending in mind. The main/intro story should end around 85 pages, and subsequent stories will be contained within one chapter, likely around 20-30 pages each. We are also planning on releasing more written short stories about Carter and Adrian’s adventures! We are very excited to show stories them ACTUALLY together! Haha.

And once again, sorry for the delay recently in pages! We are going to try hard to get back on track :)

For Reasons.

In the meantime, enjoy this picture:

EDIT APRIL 26:
Sorry about the lack of promised pages again this week :> Let’s just say that post-accident I was not motivated to work on the next few pages. Hopefully I will have them by next week. (in some ways it might be better reading the next few pages all at once, too).

EDIT 3:
New update schedule:

Thursday May 3rd – Page 63

Saturday May 5th – Page 64

Tuesday May 8th – Page 65

Thursday May 10th – Page 65

edit May 7: Okay so I overestimated how much time I would have this week. So no more Tuesday update. Sorry guys!

edit May 11: I am in the Netherlands. I cannot work on the comic :x Sorry that the schedule has been so sporadic, guys. I will be home next week.

Hi everyone! Pictured above are some ARH buttons fresh off the button maker! I’ll be giving these away to people who meet up with me at the cons coming up in the next few weeks.

Thanks to everyone who replied or emailed to the last post about the cons, sorry if I haven’t got around to replying to you all yet but I have set a tentative date for the Sakura-con (in Seattle) meetup that’s coming up this weekend. I’m thinking Friday the 6th at 4:00pm, probably on the bottom level of the convention center (where anyone can enter with or without pass). So if you still want to meet me/just want a pin, and don’t want to go to the con, you should still be able to attend. I’ll update the site closer to the date (probably Thursday) with confirmed details, so stay tuned.

I might give them away some other time too online, we’ll see. :>

Update: I’ve decided I will be wearing a dark-red plaid shirt, triforce t-shirt and jeans (casual carter closet cosplay? lol). You can find me on the bottom level near the coffee shop/tables at 4pm on Friday. Maybe I’ll make a sign. We’ll see haha. I’ll also be wearing this all of friday so if you see someone walking around wearing this, feel free to say hi and I’ll give you a pin.

I’ve been meaning to ask this for awhile but I keep forgetting. Anyway, I’m going to Sakuracon in Seattle in 3 weeks (April 6-8th) and I was wondering if anyone going to the con or just in the area wanted to have an ARH meetup of sorts? Nothing super official, I’d just like to meet you guys if possible since I won’t be having a table or anything there. If you are interested in doing something I can probably set something up. Maybe give out a few free goodies :>

I’m thinking Saturday but really any day works for me. Leave a comment/email (hazelbell.arh@gmail.com) if you are interested! Further news will be posted if I plan anything.

Same goes for Fan Expo Vancouver (April 21-22nd)! I live in Vancouver so this I can be a lot more flexible with. Heck, it doesn’t even need to be at the con.

Hi all,

I was planning to have the page done and uploaded around midnight PST tonight, but due to unforeseen events it might not be up til late Thursday night or Friday morning. I really hate to be making excuses and delaying pages again, but I have to redraw about half the page and literally do not have the extra time tonight or tomorrow morning to do all that work combined with a presentation for class I have yet to prepare for. In the future, we will try to get a backlog of pages to prevent this from happening.

Thanks for understanding,

Hazel

Hi everyone!

This Thursday we have a replacement FANCOMIC for you all to enjoy.

As you may know, for reasons we weren’t able to upload the page today, but the lovely Vy and Pab whipped this  up for you guys to make up for it! Hope you guys like this 3 page story and go shower them with love.

Hi all!

Unfortunately, the next page won’t be uploaded this Thursday(the 8th) due to complications ( both impart to Bell and I’s school load and the fact that I injured my wrist/hand and shouldn’t do any strenuous drawing in the next few days). Instead, we’ll be having a filler, very cute, FAN COMIC this thursday. We will also upload TWO PAGES NEXT WEEK to make up for the lack of page this week(on Monday and then another on Thursday).

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hazel
