Right Before Summer

I realize that I haven't released an episode of TWEWY 2: Manhattan for many months now. I also realize I haven't uploaded anything new on deviantART for at least 2 months now as well.

This will come to an end.

Summer is almost here, which means an increase in production for me. Starting tomorrow, Monday, May 30th, new pages of TWEWY 2 will be released weekly. So that's every Monday, a new page. In the between time, I'll be working on the next episode to upload on youtube.

This increase in production will get content out to everyone a lot faster. Soon I'll be releasing pages on deviantART before releasing the episode on youtube. To be honest, I think that's how it should be anyway. A comic shouldn't really be in video form. I'll still make videos for them, but they'll hold less priority than just making and releasing pages.

Remember, May 30th.
That's tomorrow.

As usual:

2011 Update

I lied. I did not update again soon. So I'm updating now.

Currently, I am working on episode 3 of TWEWY 2: Manhattan (without a graphics board, unfortunately). Progress is slow, but I think it's looking fine so far.

I have also been working on other projects and have been busy with school for the mojority of my time. The plus side to working on other projects, however, is that I am at least prodective in some way, which is good.

With time came several ideas. So let me briefly elaborate on these ideas: I will not share what the ideas themselves are, but I will say that they should not get in the way of TWEWY 2: Manhattan any more than anything that has gotten in its way before. TWEWY 2: Manhattan is still my top priority. However, more stuff will be showing up on my deviantART profile as these ideas flourish.

So, I urge you to check out my dA profile now, to see where my ideas and side projects are headed. deviantART

New Episode and an Update

The second episode of The World Ends With You 2: Manhattan is finally finished. Took me longer than the first one, even though it's shorter. It was summer, I was taking breaks. However, I put a LOT of detail into this next section of the comic, and I think it'll show. I will be the first to admit I think I rushed the ending of this episode though, because I wanted to finish it before summer ended. And while most people have recently started school yet again (myself inclded), it is still August as I post it. Anyway, I hope you all like it.

Watch it here

I figure I should make this update quick: TWEWY 2: Manhattan will be going on hiatus for a while. I will not be working on it. I'm not going to quit making it, but there's a better way to do it. I'm looking into buying a graphics board (if you don't know what it is, google it), which would improve productions speed, production quality, and won't use up paper. I feel it's a worthwhile investment. So please wait patiently for me to obtain one before I continue working on TWEWY 2: Manhattan.

That's all for this update. I may update again soon.

Big, Lazy News

It's been a while since my last update. And now that I've actually (sort of) gotten some stuff done, I thought I should make an update. There are a few things I want to inform everyone (who actually reads this blog... the numbers are 0 to a few) that I've got a couple ideas running behind TWEWY 2: Manhattan. And while this blog remains home to TWEWY 2: Manhattan, I see no reason it can't include my other works as well, as there is no reason to make a whole separate blog for each of my works.

First off, the next episode of TWEWY 2: Manhattan will hopefully be finished sooner rather than later, although, that hope is a given. I want to get up to speed with my work on it and get it done quickly, but I have yet to pick up the pace. However, I have been putting much finer detail into the last few pages I've done. So while I may be working at a much slower pace than anyone would prefer, especially myself, I'm sure I will not be the only one to admire the amount of detail I'm putting into this TWEWY fan comic. Not just in story, but in overall illustration. I'm simply becoming a better artist, by my standards at least, and I think anyone who follows along with TWEWY 2: Manhattan will notice this as well. It may be a bit longer until the episode is finally done, but in the mean time, I have been uploading more deviations to my deviantART account.

Socondly, If you've been here before, you may have noticed the snazzy new background to the blog. I do like it more than the old bland one, however, I enjoyed the old one's simplicity. I do plan on making future changes to the blog to make it as awesome as a blog can get. it is for the sake of TWEWY 2: Manhattan, after all. Which in itself seems reason enough to make something awesome.

Finally, I tend to make separate updates on all 3 of my accounts, that being youtube, deviantART, and here on Blogger. To keep in the loop, it's probably best to check all 3 accounts regularly. However, I do not update any of my 3 accounts daily, so don't check daily. Check every now and then. I am active on all of my accounts about once a day, so with some luck, you could catch me online. Also, as a side note, I have different usernames on all 3 of my accounts as well... perhaps not my best choice, but alas, I JUST HAD TO YOU UNDERSTAND. Hahaha, ohhhh....
*see at bottom of post...

youtube - I AM uppercut42!!

deviantART - I AM nonchalantica!!

Blogger (and pretty much everywhere else) - I AM penpangolin!! (along with my email adress, penpangolin@gmail.com, where I would enjoy questions, comments, art requests, and criticisms of any sort)

A final FINAL note, I do have a few extra plans. This is where the "lazy" in the title of this post has relevance. It has to do with a book I'm writing, and also another comic I'm making. After the next episode of TWEWY 2: Manhattan (which will remain my highest priority until it's DONE!!!), you will be learning a lot about my other works. Don't expect it to be too soon after, though. I AM LAZY.

Whew! This is the end of the post. Honest.

Hibernation

I knew I wouldn't last long. Here's the deal: I can't keep up with deviations right now. Working on them is keeping me from working on TWEWY 2: Manhattan. So I've decided, the best decision to make is to go into hibernation. What I mean by this is that I will not make any large updates, either here, youtube, or deviantART until episode 2 of TWEWY 2: Manhattan is done. I may make small updates and occasional deviations. But all of my work online--until episode 2 is complete--will be behind the scenes.

Any questions? Email anything you might have to say to me at penpangolin@gmail.com, or you can message me on youtube (although, my inbox seems to not be working right now on my youtube account) or deviantART.

It's for the best, people. It'll let me get episode 2 done faster, which will make me feel excellent. I was able to finish about 2 pages in quick succession this week simply because I tried not to worry about deviations. So please, patience is a virtue. Episode 2 is on the way.

As a parting gift for now, have a new page of TWEWY 2: Manhattan on deviantART.
Also, check out my account.

At least for a few weeks,
sayonara.

FYI

For your information, I have an excuse for missing my deviantART update yesterday, when I said I would start up again. This is because it was still part of my vacation. Automatically justified.

Here's my deviantART profile if you'd like to check out today's picture, however.

Now, about the new youtube. That was actually an unintentional April Fool's joke. That's right. Just go with it. I've warmed up to the new youtube, realizing it's more like Windows 7 than anything. That doesn't mean it's good, though. It just means it's not terrible. No, I won't be moving to another site.

What a Happening!

The new youtube design?

It sucks.

What's wrong with it? Well, it's simply the fact that if it's not broken, don't fix it. Fixing something that isn't broken always breaks it. If it isn't changed back to the way it was in 2 weeks, I will be moving my TWEWY 2: Manhattan operations to either Viddler or Daily Motion. I haven't decided yet, but if youtube doesn't end up changing back, I will make a definite decision on which site I will choose and make the update here.

If you hate the new youtube layout as well, you can fill out a survey here

Be sure to pick "Extremely dissatisfied". Maybe I'm overreacting about the new design; some other people seem to like it. But I don't, and most likely, unless something makes me like it, I will move operations to either Viddler or Daily Motion.

Anyway, there will not be any new submissions on my deviantART account until Monday, due to Easter vacation. Oh, I'm sorry. "Spring Break" (ridiculous). Feel free to check it out anyway
