Hiatus

Believe it or not.. I actually have news only 1 week later. XD.
I've finished the redone version of page 6, which can be found here.
Why is it not uploaded, you may ask?
Simple. I have to finish the next page to upload it. I just thought I'd show you before it's actually posted. To let you know that I HAVE been doing as I said I would.
Anyway.. this week was a very prolific week, comic wise. I've drawn about 4 redone pages, and only have 4 left. *yay*
Then, I can fully work on the prologue. :)

Oh, yes. And here's an official notice about the comic's status:
Tsukiyo is on hiatus until I finish the redone pages/prologue. Why, you may ask?
Simple. The story right now is way too bad without these pages. It jumps too much, and everything moves too quickly. I received feedback on this once on Drunkduck, but never bothered to re-read those pages. I believe it had to do with the pacing's bad early, but fine now. And I completely agree. It IS bad. First of all, Reika/Alexia comes off as a cold-hearted bitch. She basically ditches Kaika during the dance scene, and then dances with someone else a page later. Realistically, he'd probably go over there, and punch Elias out if that was the case, and probably call Reika/Alexia a bitch to her face. Which is NOT how I want Alexia to seem. She's not. the new pages, which expand this scene, make her rejection a lot more gentle, and gives an explanation as to WHY she won't dance with him. It also expands on the panels with Filia and Kijo in them, and actually introduces Filia.. as she looks now. XD. She doesn't even look like herself in the old page. You can't even tell she's the same person.
I'll also be drawing a new chapter page. The old one reveals something that won't happen for a LONG time. Plus, it misleading. I won't say why, though. The new chapter page will be a bit more relevant. Probably just an illustration of Alexia in the clothes she wears to the dance, as that's the chapter it corresponds with. :). It makes more sense.
As for the prologue..
Well, that will explain why Alexia calls herself Reika, why she took the magic exam, and let you know why the guy on page 2 has bish-bubbles. XD. There IS a reason. The art'll look weird due to differences in age, but it's for the best. The plot will FINALLY be decent. Look forward to that. XD.
However, despite the hiatus, check back once a week, anyway. I'll be adding the pages as I finish them. :). I have 1 of the redone out of 2(for the first batch), so you'll see those soon. :).
Also.. the comic is NOT ending. I just won't be drawing/toning any new(past 30) pages. Just the redos. I hate to do this, but it's for the best. I'll update this info on the CGWiki, and Onlinecomics, too, just to be sure the word gets out.
Well, see you when I post the first batch of redone comics!
