8:55 am - TTG chapter 2 page 7

netpoet22
Alrighty, page 7 is up and running, though you MIGHT want to check out some of the sites OTHER than comicgenesis to check it out. When I uploaded all the information for CG... there were 6,800 in queue ahead of me.

Apparently there's an issue going on with their servers... which only makes our move to SpiderForest that much easier to swallow, since it's ALREADY updated and ready to go, and add-free to boot. :)

This will be the last update to ComicGenesis, so to continue following TTG, point your bookmarks toward either of the following sites:

9:26 pm - Chapter 2, Page 6

Sorry we missed the update last week. I got sick and wasn't able to complete the page any sooner. Also, my in-laws are visiting next weekend, so the next page might be delayed a week or two as well. Ah life, ain't it fun. :)

Speaking of life-related issues, we'd also like to announce and congratulate Matt and his family on the new addition to the brood - Mrs. Summers had a healthy baby girl early in the evening of the 5th of March!! Welcome to the world, Madison... let's hope your daddy doesn't spoil you *TOO* much.

In comic related news, TTG will be moving from the Comic Genesis server soon. We've been accepted to join the folks over at Spider Forest, and during the next few weeks we'll start the transition over to there. New forum, new comics to read... this is gonna be fun.

Until next time!

Hello everyone!

We don't have much by the way of announcements this month. The move to spider forest is in progress, and over the course of the next year, we'd suggest changing your urls to the new site (once it's fully up and running). Eventually, the CG site will no longer be updated, and the SF will be getting all the new updates, etc... so watch this space on where to point your browsers very soon.

The Dragon-artists.com site will continue to update as normal, of course, so those of you that visit from there, you don't need to do anything :D

http://dragon-artists.com/ttg
http://ttg.spiderforest.com/ - we know there's a couple of little things that aren't quite done yet, but we'll get to them shortly!

See ya again at the end of February!

-Michelle Z.

10:22 pm - Chapter two, page four!

netpoet22
And we're back!  Ringing in the new year with a brand new page, a brand new last name for Michelle, and a brand new baby on the way for Matt.  Economy?  To HECK with that, 2009's going to be a GREAT year!!!  :D  Be sure to check out the info on our main page, as TTG's making a move over to Spider Forest here very soon.

Happy new year, everyone!

1:10 pm - Chapter 2, page three is up!!

netpoet22
And yay, we have ze page!

With everything going on in both of our lives at the moment, we're going to change the next page's date to "When it's done"... Between Michelle's upcoming wedding in two and a half months, and Matt's wife being pregnant, and both of their lives being in total full throttle... the page will come when it does. Life's just being rather insistent that we both pay attention to *IT* and nothing else.

No worries, we still have a lot of story to tell, we promise. :D Life's just being crazy, no worries.

Until next time!

10:50 pm - Chapter 2, page 2

netpoet22
Sorry for the delay, life got in the way again.  Ya know how it goes, no worries. :D    This is one of my personal favorite pages, I LOVE LOVE LOVE how introspective Dottiar ends up in panel 2.  Next page takes us back to the action again, we'll be starting each chapter off with a look at the "present-day" life this same way.  Hope you liked it, and let's get back to the fun stuff. :D

As always, you can find us at two sites.

10:24 pm - Chapter Two begins!

netpoet22
Whohoo!!  And Chapter Two begins... Today!  Got a double update goodness for you today, what with the chapter intro page and the first page as well... enjoy!

This chapter marks a change... we've switched to b&w in order to take some of the pressure off of Michelle.  We're hoping for speedier pages and less stress on her, which considering her upcoming marriage, less stress is a good thing.

And did we forget to mention, Michelle's getting married?!?  CONGRATULATIONS!!! :D :D :D

See y'all next month! :D

9:24 pm - Page 37 is up!

muse_gnome
Wow! Three years as of this update, and we've done something we weren't sure would happen... we've completed chapter one!!! Yes, today's update is the final page of this chapter, and my how far we've come.

We're going to take a break for a couple of months, getting some of the preliminary stuff out of the way so we'll be all set to get through chapter 2 - scripting things out, page drafts, a cover and that sort of thing. The comic's style is going to change a bit with Chapter 2, as well, in the hopes of making it possible for TTG to update more regularly (and maybe more often...).

We plan to begin updating again April 30, 2008. Until then, thanks for staying with us through the good times and the slow times, Matt and I both really appreciate the support :)

As of this post, Comic Genesis isn't allowing us to update, so TTG is only available at dragon-artists.

Thanks everyone!
-Michelle

Happy holidays, everyone! Page 36 has arrived, and we learn that there are sometimes when Aroni is deadly, deadly serious. Sometimes you just know when to follow a direct command, huh.

Hope y'all have a great holiday!! The dragon-artists.com page will be updated once Michelle has a chance to arrive home, but the CG side has now been updated.

11:00 pm - Page 35!!

netpoet22
Aaannnddd, we go from the frying pan and right straight into the fire with this page.  Heh... Poor Michelle.  She had to draw 19 different individual critters, all in different poses and different gear... hehee.  Next, I need to organize a mass war between ogres and humans, just to give her the same level of challenge, right?

... or maybe not, she'd kill me.  

We're changing the update schedule just slightly.  Instead of it being the last Sunday of the month, we're going to go with the last *DAY* of the month every month.  It's just a few days normally, but especially with the holidays coming up, every spare day counts.  

On the plus side, things won't be getting any darker, at least by way of the light source, anytime soon.  Hehee... that tunnel's pretty darn DARK!!!

Anyway, the new page is now up, and as always, we thank everyone for their patience!!

10:02 pm - next page delayed.

netpoet22
Getting back into the swing of things for Michelle is taking a bit longer than she expected, plus the next page has a TON of detail to it... as it stands right now, it looks like the page won't even be close to being ready until the middle of September at best, and she has a few things coming up in real life that take some priority away from the comic.

So, in order to get her the necessary time to get fully back into the swing of things, we're going to go ahead and postpone the next update until September 30th, after which time we'll be back on track for regular monthy updates again.

Thanks to everyone for their patience!!

9:56 pm - New page goodness!!!

netpoet22
Whoops... uh, it's still the weekend somewhere, right?  RIGHT?!?  Oh darn... sorry about that, missed it by THAT much.  No worries though, it's all good.  Page just needed a tiny bit more tweaking, and you should know by now that we just plain won't put a page up until we're satisfied with it.  Hehee...

Though judging by that Newest Page panel, perhaps a longer wait wouldn't have bothered Dottiar very much... See ya next month!

Remember, as always, we can be found in two spots on the net.

http://ttg.comicgenesis.com and http://www.dragon-artists.com/ttg

Heya, everyone :)

My class is over, and I've got both a new job and my life back! ;)

TTG resumes its regular monthly update schedule, and the new page is now up.

TTG at Dragon-Artists
TTG at Comic Genesis Comic Genesis has had some network issues recently, but those are being resolved with a shiny new server.

10:32 pm - Hiatus update!

netpoet22

Ok, Michelle's class is JUST about finished, and from the looks of things, she's going to pass with FLYING colors. 

YAY MICHELLE!!!  WHOOHOO!!! 

And it looks like we will DEFINITELY be returning for the next update in June.  In the interum, she HAS been working on some other pages and artwork related to TTG... including the Free Comic Book Day pages, a page explaining... uh... what really happened to put TTG on hiatus... and some bonus artwork that'll be on the official side of things.

However, comicgenesis has been being a poopiehead today, and since my harddrive went kaflooey, none of it is on the CG site.  NEVER FEAR, however!  Those of you that were unaware of it, we have TTG up in TWO locations!  :D

http://www.dragon-artists.com/ttg

click on the galleries tab, and meander your way to official art.  It'll all be there, ready and waiting for you. :)  See ya next month!!

11:16 pm - Page 32, and hiatus news

netpoet22
Alrighty, page 32 has arrived, and we start to find out what happened with the big ol boom.  :D 

On a side note, I *LOVE* today's page.  Imp is just about my fav charrie, next only to Dottiar.  :D

Also, we're going to now semi-officially go on haitus until June for Michelle's class.  If we manage to squeeze any updates in during that time, we'll of course let y'all know!!

Also revisited, we might also be seeing TTG in FRENCH here very soon.  :D  Stay tuned!!

muse_gnome
Yes, the new page is up, but only at http://dragon-artists.com/ttg , because I am a flake and don't know how to update the other sites. We'll get those updated tomorrow, promise!

TTG will be getting published before too long, along with several other Comic Genesis folks who are all participating in the Free Comic Book Day (http://www.cortlandcomic.com/fcbd.html). We'll share the two pages we're submitting after the comic is published ;)

We also snagged a couple of WCCA nominations (http://www.ccawards.com/2007.htm) this year, including Outstanding Artist, Outstanding Writer (for all of Matt's projects!), and Oustanding use of Color! Thank you to everyone who got us nominated this year, it means a lot to us! :D

Lastly, just a reminder that TTG will go into hibernation for a couple of months while I'm taking some classes to get me into a new and lucrative job at work. God willing, we'll have an update in February and March, and then be out until June.

Until next month! *waves*

10:46 pm - Page 30 complete!

netpoet22
Alrighty, page 30 is up and a day early! To celebrate the coming of the new year, Michelle and I present to you... a catfight between a topless barbarianess and the healer that brought her to life!

And you thought we didn't love you. :D Again, don't forget that we've got a hiatus coming up here soon with Michelle's classes, and there was a TON of new information to convey on the main page, so be sure to check it all out after you've seen the comic goodness!

See y'all next month!

9:50 pm - Page 29 - bit of fanservice, anyone?

netpoet22
Page 29 is now up! Hey, look at who's back and ready for another fight! :D On a side note, please be advised that today's update is partially not safe for work, though there's no abject nudity. Y'all remember back when she got hit, don't you? The glass golem ripped her armor and torso clothing right in two.

Of course, barbarianesses have little by the way of modesty. :p Also, we've got news on a pending hiatus in the early part of next year. If all goes well in Michelle's class, she gets a HUGE HUGE HUGE increase in her salary, and that's always worth it!! :D

Next update will be right toward the end of the year, so those celebrating the holidays this coming month, happy holidays!!

2:59 am - Page 29 - the trap is sprung

netpoet22
Hehee, looks like this is going to be a big one, folks. I personally love Imp's expression and closeup in this one, but I'm biased... Imp's one of my two favorites, after all. :D

As always, you can find us at http://www.dragon-artists.com/ttg or http://ttg.comicgenesis.com/

10:15 pm - Page 27 - Uh oh..

netpoet22
Heh.. that's never a good sign... Personally, I love the last panel.  :D  Couple of things for this month... Matt is now writing for two additional webcomics, details located on TTG's webpage (and no need to repeat them here) and we now have a designated day to update next month. 

And as for last month's question... did y'all figure out what was in that flask?  Who guessed pepper?  Anyone?  :D  hehee..

See ya next month!
