Whew, that was a good arc, if I do say so myself! It’s good to be done with it, though, and to move onto the next thing. In this case, we’re not moving on to the next arc of Elf Blood, but instead to a single-block arc of a new work of mine, Mei Wu. Fear not! If you enjoy Elf Blood, I think you’ll enjoy Mei Wu as well – it’s more modern urban fantasy action, but instead of the Central European/North American flavouring of EB, instead it has a disinctly Cantonese theme and setting! It’ll also become a print work soon after, with extra content specially created for the paid-for version!

It’s still a few weeks away from the end of the Crush Depth story arc, but I’ve got to say I’m thoroughly enjoying writing the Mei Wu story and am looking forward to drawing it immensely! I’ve expanded the page count to 15 pages, so it should run for around two months, before the next arc of Elf Blood starts up again! Look forward to that one; it’s mostly action, with a smattering of emotion, and plenty of ass-kicking.
Mei Wu itself is shaping up nicely. I’m almost done with the first draft, and the second draft should weed out some inconsistencies in character motivations. I really like the Ash-Gwen dynamic; it’s actually quite similar to how I originally envisioned Fliss-Mara interactions. Because it’s the first issue, I’m having fun planting little seeds of future character development here and there, too!
Finally, the review I’ve been promising you all week! It won’t be brilliantly written, but hey, hopefully I can give you a bit more information on the game!
Gone Home is a new game by the Fullbright Company, an indie team of game developers. It eschews violence for story, and indeed many of the usual trappings one might expect from modern games, in favour of telling a story. Actually, what the game does is tell multiple stories, centered around one main story.
Gameplay-wise, it’s very simple. You return from a year abroad, to find your parents’ new home empty. It’s up to you to explore this 19th-century mansion and unravel the reason as to why nobody is there to greet you; and what the deal is with the frantic phone message you’ve just picked up on the answering machine.
Hi guys, yet another quick update; Was in work until 2130, and I need to be in for 0600, so I really must be dashing off to bed! Enjoy today’s page, and I’ll see you again on Monday, where I’ll hopefully have a review of the Fullbright Company’s game ‘Gone Home’ for you!
Have a great weekend, guys!

Hola! I know that a good number of you are quite keen on the world’s favourite pastime, cookery (citation needed), and I’ve shared some of my own recipes with you in the past. Today, however, I’m going to ask you all for some suggestions! I’ve just been chatting with one of my friends about the possibility of using baked camembert as a main course.
Now, usually I’ve found baked cheeses present as part of a sharing platter; with the sheer richness of camembert, it’s not difficult to see why. But would it be possible to have either a whole or a half a baked camembert as the central item in a main dish? I reckon so, if you got the rest of the dish right.
Ahoy hoy everyone! Hope you’re all doing well, and had/are having a good Eid if you’re so inclined!
I come to you today with a potential proposal for experimentation. One of the problems I run into while tackling my weekly art workload is that often I’m too busy creating to create! By which I mean I prioritise my Elf Blood work over my print stuff, because I don’t want to miss out a day here and leave you guys hanging. If I lose part of the buffer due to holidays, I obviously have to dedicate more resources to restoring the buffer as soon as possible.
Hola, everyone!
Y’know, something got me thinking earlier: Why is it that certain cities get used over and over again in films, comics, and TV shows? I’m thinking London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Tokyo.
Of course, the main reason is primarily one of familiarity. It’s self-reinforcing as well; as more people consume the material set in these places, more and more people become familiar with the settings and so the concept of using these cities becomes more attractive.
Hallo everyone, apologies for the very very brief blog post, but I’m rather ill again and yet I still have plenty to do before I can hit the hay. I’ll try and come up with something interesting to say on Monday!
Enjoy today’s page!
M.
