Hello everyone!

I got some serious things to say this time. As some of you may know, i have had a rather rough time with employment since 2009. I had said that i was taking a break from The Eye to work on Tina of the South and continue job hunting. The problems is that the whole job hunting issue just was too much of a terrible reality.

It took me over a year to get a single job, and i ended up falling in the maws of a slave driver that took the first excuse to reduce my salary one third and basically wanted me to work 50 hours per week for the salary of a half time job. I had to make the easy but yet horrible decision of quitting. Luckily enough i landed another job at a place a friend recomended and so far it looks really good (anything is good after the whole fiasco).

Why am i telling you all this? Because it is a reality that came to bite me in the ass and a lot of people don't realize about it. You see, all this time i left little time for the eye because i dependend on comissions in order to pay for rent, services and food.

This is important, because i really spent a lot of time working on each page of The Eye and if i kept doing that i would not really have time for the comissions.

You see, i really wanted to make a really good looking comic with the skills i have and improve over time.But the effort wasn't really giving results but with readers and with my economy. And i always felt this nasty inferiotity complex when it came to the Katbox comunity and the way my comic and characters are treated and no matter how hard i tried to reach to the comunity (posting news, joking, showing art and the process of the comic and character design), there just of nothing happened. So i had to make this decision.

Before i made some black and white pages in order to keep updating. But to be honest i thought the pages were a bit lacking that way. They did look nice, but there was something that i felt was missing.

So thanks to some advice (In particula Nekonny) i decided to simplify the coloring process of The Eye and go for cel shadings. Now i will be honest, this is a way of coloring i am not familiar with and i still need a lot to improve. But i hope that with this way of working i can keep track of the comic while i work on the job and make it appealing with the colors.

I got to say, i do feel ashamed of not being able to keep up as well as i wanted with this webcomic. But to be honest i did have more important priorities.

Anyways, i ranted a lot already. I just want to thank the readers for enjoying The Eye of Ramalach.
