EDIT: Feel free to vote or what ever. The finished page is now up!

DO NOT VOTE!!!
This is because this page is unfinished and the reason behind that will be explained below.

This is the first time in the years I have made online comics that I upload an unfinished page as proper update. Also, this won't be the last time either. For a while you will get only lineart oages for TWOD.

This is because all my papers have gathered a lot of moisture and due to that the markers I'm using spread on the paper uncontrolled. That can be seen on this page as well, if you look careful enough (though the smaller size of the scan makes it harder to see).

Due to this uncontrolled spreading I decided yesterday that for a while I won't attempt to do more than the lineart for the pages untill my papers are dry again. Still, I don't want to stop updating the comic so you have to be satisfied with only lineart for a while. When the papers are dry again I will finish coloring all the pages I have left unfinished including this one.

This problem with my papers will not affect TOE, because while working with watercolors moisture is rather good than bad.

AND the Way of Dreams has now and update schedule! From this monday the comic will be updated every other monday. Now it's week 33 so the next update will be on week 35 and so on.
With this schedule I hope to be able to finish the first chapter soon enough and get to drawe the more fun parts of the comic ;)

And I received the very first fanart (if we don't count the ones I received long ago from a friend of mine) for this story. Check it out http://cahir-the-witcher.deviantart.com/#/d2vybpk
It was done by Cahir_the_witcher of her own character and Tresy (who you can see in the tittle banner of the comic) who appears in chapter 9 of the comic.

EDIT: I do realize there is a word missing in what Albert says in the first panel, but I will fix it later (latest when I have the finished page up).

Mina_Lunga: I use absolute (or at least near it) black on my pages, but my scanner lightens it quite a bit. Earlier I have not attempted to change that with computer. Now since you mentioned the pages being quite light I have been trying to figure out the best way to get the black back on the pages. I will be trying stuff with the old pages and figure out something. I did change the contrast of this page after scanning it, but even though it now has black rather than gray it also made Amy's hair black which is meant to be gray! So, I will be trying out things now, but since this problem with the future pages not being finished it might take some time before I find a satisfying method to get what I want ;)
