Bright End of Nowhere

While moving all my stuff into my new apartment (oh god, my life has turned into a webcomic), I rediscovered all my old "Deviants from the Norm" comics. I seem to be missing some of the originals (*sadface*), and I realized that my homedir doesn't have all of them. Nor does Erebus, because apparently I was an idiot and never moved them from Kyr. This makes me sad, and I really should fix it.

Because "Deviants" wasn't bad. I've been asked if I'm planning on continuing it when I get back a few times. Oh god, it's a lot of work, because I'm almost OCD about it. I sketch each comic, then reink it with Copics, and that actually takes a certain amount of time. And let's not get into when I get an email from the editor saying "hey, can we have this in color?"...at 11:00PM, because then I have to scan it and vector-trace it and color it in Photoshop. Yes, I may be insane.

But I honestly enjoyed doing it, when it wasn't driving me batshit insane. I've been playing with the idea of making it less MIT-centric and more general science/engineering/gamer/sci-fi based. I don't know. So, yes, I think I will continue. I just don't know if I'll put it in the campus newspaper. I've been talking for years about turning it into an actual webcomic. The real excuse I have is that I don't know CSS or whatever to make it easy. The last time I made a study of HTML was roughly seven years ago. (Then I discovered Dreamweaver...)
