Just wanted to say a quick thanks one last time to all of you for helping us get into the Drunk Duck Awards this year. It was a bit late due to the blackout, but things finally did get rolling (that's right, in case you've been under a rock the past couple of weeks, the Drunk Duck Awards ceremony has already pretty much finished at this point). In case you haven't been following it, go check out the awards now:
Death P*rn really cleaned up this year. I guess it was sort of that "Lord of the Rings Effect" going on. You know, how LOTR kept getting nominated but never won anything, and then after the trilogy wrapped up it won like a gazillion awards? Well, whatever it was, this comic won a whopping ten awards: Best Humor Comic, Best Adult Comic, Most Deliciously Offensive, Best Parody/Tribute, Best Comic Layouts, Best Plot Development, Best Protagonist - Carmen, Best Antagonist - Toad, Best Completed Comic, and The Reader's Choice Award.
If you get a chance, swing by the awards comic and check out some of the other winners (though it was mostly a lot of Death P*rn and Keeping Up With Thursday this year). Thanks again! See ya!
I've set up the DD page for the new comic. If you don't want to miss any updates, you should head over there and Favorite it. New pages will post later this month. http://theduckwebcomics.com/TransNeptunian/
Jeez! It has been over a year, hasn't it! Um, I don't plan on posting the new comic until probably April, but I may post some kind of promo thingamabob(s) before that… though honestly I'm a bit loath to "hype" the project at this point because I'm not sure it's worth getting too excited about. Stay tuned!
Not scrapped. I did 24 pages of the comic last year, but then after giving it a read and getting some input from others I decided it wasn't worthy of going to print, so I've done a total rewrite. So far, only nine pages into the *new* new comic, but very happy with it so far. At this point, even if it sucks, I'll probably go ahead and post it just because it's been so long since I posted anything. I'm going to wait until I've got a pretty big buffer though.
The new comic is a completely new universe of characters. I consider the story of Angie and Carmen mostly told at this point, with the exception of the story of how the two met. I may come back to that at some point, or maybe use the Death P*rn characters in something wacky and non-canon, like the defunct 'Certified Monster' series or 'Big Fish Story.' But for all intents and purposes, for the foreseeable future, I'm focusing my efforts on the new comic and characters, which are about as different from this comic as can be. I may post some teaser material for the new comic at some point, once it's closer to being ready to post, but for now I'll hold off on that until I've made more progress.
I'm working on the new comic currently, and I've completed a lot of pages for it. However, because I'm doing some new things with my publishing strategy, I'll want to wait until the first ("pilot") chapter is completely finished before I start posting here. I'm guessing it will probably be sometime after Christmas before I'm ready to unveil anything, and more likely early 2015. The new comic is not very much like this one, however.
Apparently El cids next project is a childrens story, illustrated with crayons. It follows a cat called sir fluffalot who falls in a river and has a riotous adventure getting home after being washed downstream.
I'm working on it. I've actually done several pages of a new comic, but it's not ready to post. It's also slow going, because I've had to do a LOT more of the modeling myself than I did with this comic.
Sorry, wasn't aware of that. Must be something to do with the site's server issues. I'll try to correct that as soon as I get a chance. Will post here as soon as I get it fixed!

Have you posted newer work elsewhere? Still wanting to see what you do next. It has been over a year now.

So .. half a year has passed.
Anything new about a new comic, or has it been scrapped ?
Has the artist burned himself out ?
What can we possibly do to this comic now?

I hope it's not so radically different. I hope the new comic still has ridiculous sex scenes.

do you plan on using the same characters from the previous works, any "new" characters that you will introduce or you plan to keep hush-hush?

Any plans we should know about?

Well, I don't make the models myself; they're just standard DAZ/Poser figures. I do the final renders in Carrara.
