The goddess of witchy webcomics

I almost forgot to add... The first new strip SHOULD be up in the morning, barring any problems with KeenSpace ComicGenesis. For right now, I'm continuing the old arc from 2003. When I have more of a buffer built up, I'll start adding in some strips to continue the Jenny Everywhere story from 2005.

This strip marks the beginning of the end of Roger's mullet. ^_^

Also, after this arc, Roger will start to show a bit more variety in his wardrobe (as seen in the Jenny Everywhere story arc). In fact, I can safely say that this arc is going to be changing quite a few things in the TW universe.

This arc has been a long time in coming (as has the one that will follow it), and so have the changes it brings. As DC Comics said back in '86: "And NOTHING will ever be the same."

I've made a difficult decision. After five years, "Tasha's World" will no longer be updating. I've been trying -- I really have -- but the fact is, I can't work full time and draw the comic. I know other artists can, and that's great for them. But for me, drawing is difficult. I mean, REAL drawing. I suppose I could just scribble out some stick-figures and throw them up on the site, but no; I wouldn't be happy with posting that. There's plenty of stick-figure comics out there already. And it wouldn't be fair to the few readers who are still out there waiting for new comics. Better for me to just walk away from the comic until/unless it can have the kind of art it deserves.

I really hate to just leave everything unfinished like this, but working full time is running me into the ground. My knees are no longer able to support my weight the way they should, and the rest of my body is having to compensate, which leaves me so exhausted when I come home that I can barely even HOLD a pencil, much less draw. It's frustrating, because I have all these stories wanting to be told. Every day at work, I get more ideas, and no outlet for them.

With all that said, this is not the end for Tasha and her friends. If I find an artist who is willing to draw the strip, knowing that it's a non-paying gig, or if I win the lottery and quit the full time retail hell I'm stuck in, Tasha and company will return.

I always knew that TW would have to end someday, but I didn't want it to have to be like this -- with no ending, no closure. I hope to someday bring the comic back, but for now I have to say goodbye to Tasha, Stephanie, Roger, Adam and Barbara and hope that we'll be able to see them again soon.

Oh, and to Rann and Chris, I only just saw today how the guest comic came out on the webpage. I've fixed the problem, but can't log in to CG's siteadmin to force an update. But it SHOULD fix itself tonight with CG's regular update.

To everyone out there who hadn't already given up on "Tasha's World," all I can say is I'm sorry. And maybe we'll be back again, someday.

One more thing before I toddle off to bed...

The "Tasha's World" wiki has been updated. Link is on the TW site.

Recaps start tomorrow, in preparation of new strips.

And there was much rejoicing.

I'm going to updating the TW website again...

I was thinking of new stuff I could offer my 2 or 3 remaining readers, and I remembered these magnets I made awhile back:


( close-up images )
What do you (my 2 or 3 remaining readers) think? Do these look like they'd be worth $2 dollars each? Any suggestions for other images that could be used? Any suggestions for other stuff I can offer (keeping in mind I'd most likely be making it myself, and probably not trying to sell it through CafePress)?

Heh. ^_^

In other news, today's strip SHOULD be up, but for some reason, I can never get Keens-- Comic Genesis to update it without a bunch of hassle with manually creating the page and doing lots and lots of manual updates while I jack around with the index page. I don't feel like doing all that crap right now; I'm tired and I have some touching up to do on the next couple of strips, plus lettering and all that, then sleep, then back to work tonight.

If it's not up by the time I wake up this evening, I'll see what I can do.

Edit: It's finally up. Enjoy. Or not. Whatever.

I apologize for the absolute suckiness of the most recent update (WARNING: Probably NSFW). The pencils (which I actually had done last week) weren't that great, but when I inked (which is usually where I correct any pencilling mistakes) I did sort of a rush job, because my hands were bothering me again.

In other news, I've got two new strips pencilled, so I'm taking a bit of a break before starting the next strip. I'm probably not going to ink these, as all my pigment liners AND my Sharpies are running dry and I don't have the money to spare to buy new ones. This means I'll have to put more detail into my pencils than I've done in a long time.

I really need to get some strips done during my work week, so I can get caught up. -_-'
