Slow At Updating

I am realy slow at updating this comic. I though if I spend the time to learn a different coloring technique that it would speed up my production. While I learned a few new tricks, the only thing I accomplished was drawing and coloring at the same speed in a different way.  Oh well, I tried and now I know.  Here is a preview of next week's update. 

Crystal Vision Project Update August

For the month of  August I took a three-week break. I could not move or sleep very well after delivering a baby. I decided to take it easy and focus on my health and baby. The fourth week I started thumbnailing.  

I am in the process of thumbnailing the final pages for Crystal Visions. In the past, I worked on the pages in batches at a time. For example, I would do 8 pages and then post and start the process over again. I am still doing the same strategy but this time I want to get all the thumbnails done. The reason why I work that way is because it is the best way for me to manage my time. My other responsibilities in life keep me busy and there are times when I must give those responsibilities my full attention.  

Why don’t I just finish the story all at once and just be done with it? Well, that is simple. I have a short attention span. I treat the moments when I must shift my attention away from the comic as a break from working on one thing. I find that once I am done, I can get back into creating with more enthusiasm. My goal while on maternity with the comic is to get as many full pages done for a continuous buffer with more page updates. 

Crystal Visions on break

I have a big announcement I gave birth to my second child last month. I will be taking a 3-month hiatus to heal, recover and adapt to the new addition to my family. During that time, I will continue to work on Part 2. You can follow my progress on my Instagram @trmcleodprime or on my main site www.crystalvisionscomic.com.  New pages will be back in November.

Thank you for reading!
